This Is Not Normal,This Is Not OK! :Day 67

Trump Watch:

(this video from 2009, once again Bernie got it right, and got it right first)

Trumpcare seems to be dead (not for lack of trying),   so dead in fact that states are now going to continue to expand medicaid.  Way to go Trump!  Now lets take this same logic, and expand universal health care to everyone.  Single payer medicare for all!

————————

For reasons only the oil companies know, Trump continues to try and kill us all with global warming.  Preparing to sign an executive order removing the clean power plan.  If I were you, I would call your senator and tell them to pass a bill making the clean power plan a enforceable law.

Russian Youth From Moscow to Siberia Slam ‘Putin the Thief’

Hundreds Arrested During Anti-Corruption Protests in Russia

There are massive protests in Russia right now, and Putin is cracking down horribly on them.  Trump has remained silent.  We know he has his twitter ready at all times, but instead many many hours later we get a statement from the state department.  Stay classy Trump, you spineless coward.  A timeline of events that unfolded during the election appears to support the FBI’s investigation into Trump-Russia collusion

———————

Nearly one out of every three days he has been president, Trump has visited a Trump property.  Why you may ask?  Because it personally enriches him, he is basically spending tax payer money at every business he owns.  Its a giant con game.

——————–

GOP intel member Trey Gowdy threatens to hide future Trump/Russia hearings from the public.  You may remember Trey Gowdy as the guy who did all the Bengazi hearings…he certainly wanted to keep them public.  I wonder what has changed.

——————–

The fight over Keystone XL is just getting started.  Oil companies know that they are almost done, with solar and wind rapidly approaching prices that will destroy their business.  But they still have a lot of money, so they are bribing politicians in a last gasp attempt to keep their business afloat.  Who cares if it kills millions in the process, got to make money right!?

Call Grows for ‘Total Shutdown’ Over Alleged Trump-Russia Collusion.  Personally I would have called for a total shut down over his environmental or economic policy, but whatever gets the job done in Washington.

———————-

DOJ investigating Rep. Duncan Hunter, early Trump backer.  Trump is the political touch of death.  Once the republicans see their members dropping like flies, they will turn on him.  But we must keep the pressure up, call your congress person every single day and complain that they are not fighting Trump enough.

Bernie Sanders, Top Progressives Announce New Medicare-For-All Push

Get out there, make a difference!

Start here, Democrats, Fight for Medicare For All!  Then call your senator, demand medicare for all!

Dear senators, this is how you make the idiots over at CNN work for you.  This is a masterful example of substance over style.  Bernie gets up there lays it out simply, with policy based,  simple language.  HE STANDS FOR SOMETHING!  You can’t fight something with nothing, lets fight it with this!

Calling your government representative:

Call your House Rep (Or use this spreadsheet)
Call your Governor

Or try this website
Fax Congress here (free!)

You can also use 5Calls.org if you are having a hard time figuring out what to say.

Tell them in no uncertain terms that you want them to fight to stop Trump from doing these things. Tell them you will be watching them closely on how they vote, and will hold them accountable during the next election if they cave to Trump.  You can also call other states congress people and threaten to donate to their opponent if they don’t do what you want.

Go to a town hall and talk to your congress person in person:

Monitor your congressperson:

Keep track of how your senator is voting on cabinet picks here, so you can call them up and give them hell if they vote for any of these worthless fuckers.
