Trump Watch August 3 2017

Day 193:

The orange menace takes a vacay:

Hey even though the entire place is falling apart, lets take a 2.5 week vacation to a fancy golf club….sure.

In a sense I am glad he will not be anywhere near the oval office, but come on man, the government still has to function.

Lets just hope North Korea, or something else bad doesn’t happen.  Just period, on vacation or not Trump is not qualified to handle anything.

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.

See how your elected representatives are voting for or against Trump.

Elections!

Also be sure to keep track if you live in a district with an upcoming flip-able seat (flip to the left that is)
