Isn't it time for a national mutiny?

I' m so sick of this passive waiting for something to happen. 'And meanwhile The orange horror show just keeps slinging shit at all of us. If we wait for Mueller, we'll all die waiting. If we wait until the House changes hands we'll never get anything. And what are we waiting for? A verdict that can't touch him and a Supreme Court that won't let it happen and a moribund party in power.

And, 25th Amendment or not, inform his Orangeness that he's a Clear and Present Danger to National Security (which he is) and that his regime is henceforth done.

If wishes were horses.

Plus, if it ever did happen, we'd never know. It would be broadcast as a "resignation."

And just as well that it did, because you're right: it would be a terrible precedent.

Happy Thanksgiving, brooklynite. All the Best to you and yours.

One our biggest weapon is our wallets and pocketbooks. Buy no new cars, TV, appliances shoes, no going out to eat or shopping unless it's at a mom and pop etc. We'll go back to spending when the orange one is gone.

Make Do and Mend.

Ration.
Victory Gardens.
Save Aluminum foil.
Carpool.
Buy nothing new until the old stuff wears out.
Kill your Facebook, your Instagram and your Twitter.

for something to happen so you can react to it is a terrible use of your time. What do you want to happen? Is it realistic? What realistic change can you work for, where you are, right now?

Every time I hear someone yell “General Strike!” In seems to depend on someone else working out the details.

Is this is just me spitballing here but: how about planning to win the 2020 Elections? That’s what I’ll be doing..
