Day 176:

I Dare You!:

So it seems to me that both Trump, Trump Jr. and a whole host of his campaign and white house team have basically admitted on tv and in print that yes, they are guilty.  They are basically daring anyone to do anything about it.

They are telling democracy to go fuck itself…are we going actually stand around and let this happens?  I say we call up our representatives and let them know if they don’t do something about this they will be out of a job next election.

Stay feisty.
