Trump Watch June 14 2017

Day 146:

Sessions didn’t help Trump:

Let me just put this out there first.  I don’t trust the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, or any of these other government agencies that seem to have way too much power, and way too little oversight.  But when former FBI director James Comey sat before congress and answered questions, it was short, to the point and sounded honest.

When evil cookie elf Jeff Sessions sat before congress and answered questions, it sounded like he was lying through his teeth and using every weasel trick in the book to get out of going to jail.

He made all this shit seem much more likely to be real, he was acting like a man who was trying to avoid incriminating himself.  And in general makes the entire business seem much more shady and illegal.

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

Check when the next town hall is here

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)

See if you have a special election in your area!
