This Is Not Normal,This Is Not OK! :Day 68

Trump Watch:

The government still seems to be consumed with nothing but Russia talk, even though Trump is busy fucking over most of the country with his executive orders, his deregulation, corruption, self dealing, and basic neglect.  Democrats only want to talk about Russia because then they don’t have to talk about how they don’t represent the people anymore and why they keep loosing elections.  Republicans are ok with talking about Russia, because they don’t give a fuck about anyone but their donors, and its a good lever to get Trump to do what they want, incidentally it also keeps the spotlight off there horrible other corruption and behavior.

Bread and circuses, both parties are pretty well bought and paid for by big money.  Lets start by kicking out as many corporate dem’s as we can, then building up a large progressive base, impeach trump, and then enact a new new deal.
