Resisting The Racist Anti-Semite's Appointment

Nov 15, 2016 16:52

I called my two senators today. One staffer said that Senator Blumenthal had already spoken against Bannon’s appointment. Senator Murphy’s office said that he hadn’t denounced Bannon yet--though, oddly, it looks like he did yesterday. I hope this is an error on the staffer’s part ( Read more... )

bigotry, la resistance

That's my plan for tomorrow. And also to call my Governors office and ask why he hasn't written a letter to his state like Cuomo did in NYC, denouncing bigotry and hatred in the name of Trump.

Good luck. Oh, have you called the House Oversight Committee yet? They're investigating all the fraud charges against Trump. Go here:

Didn't he essentially bribe the college investigation 25 mil. to get it to go away?

No, this is a Congressional investigation I'm talking about, and it's about more than Trump University.

He did settle the court case for $25 million on Friday. This isn't a surprise. He almost never goes to court. If he can't make someone back down through sheer intimidation, he settles. He doesn't want to go to court because that would make him look bad.

He bribed Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi with $25,000 for her campaign to dismiss the fraud charges in Florida. By a strange coincidence, she has also gotten about 615,000 in donations from the Trump Foundation in recent years AND is a Florida state elector. Even if Florida had gone blue, you know who she'd be voting for.

I'm still trying to figure out how to survive in Trump's Amerikkka. I don't think that I can do it.

Here are some of the problems:

Most scary to me is how sensitive the Trumpkins are to being criticized. Like this:

Kellyanne Conway said Sunday Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's attacks on Donald Trump last week were "beyond the pale" -- and seemed, at least briefly, to hint at a lawsuit.

Reid on Friday had said that "the election of Donald Trump has emboldened the forces of hate and bigotry in America" and that "white nationalists, Vladimir Putin and ISIS are celebrating Donald Trump's victory, while innocent, law-abiding Americans are wracked with fear."Please note: all of the above is accurate. At least 400 hate crimes have been reported since the day after the election. White nationalists--oh, hell, why not just call ( ... )

Hell, Trump couldn't even stand the fact that the cast of Hamilton spoke to Mike Pence in a post-show speech, calling it harassment. He appears to blame the entire cast for the audience booing Pence. Given that Pence, a man who caused a mini-AIDS epidemic in Indiana by closing Planned Parenthood clinics that were treating AIDS patients AND a man who supports gay conversion therapy, was at a Broadway show, and one in which a gay HIV-positive actor is now starring (Brandon V. Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr), I think that the audience and the cast were positively restrained.

Oh, and this is the terrible, horrible, no good speech that the Hamilton cast made.

Thank you so much for joining us tonight. You know, we had a guest in the audience this evening. And Vice President-elect Pence, I see you're walking out but I hope you will hear us just a few more moments. There's nothing to boo here ladies and gentlemen. There's nothing to boo here, we're all here sharing a story of love ( ... )

The impression I get is that the Trumpkins expected all the liberals and Hillary supporters and whatnot to just vanish after the election. Trump, at least, doesn't seem to have been expecting anger, fear, protests or mockery. I think he genuinely sold himself on the idea that he was beloved by everyone, not just his supporters. Instead, senators and representatives and lawyers are pointing out things he wants to do that are illegal. Ordinary people are doing that. People openly despise him...and since Trump is basically an older, more blatantly racist version of Christian Grey--a filthy rich, deeply insecure misogynist who has an entitlement complex the size of Texas--he doesn't appear to know how to deal with it. Somehow, this creature has reached the age of seventy without learning the word 'no ( ... )
