Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) recounts an uplifting experience on a plane today

Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) 4:09 PM · Aug 19, 2021

There’s a passenger wearing an “Adiós Trump” t-shirt and I swear to God he just got 25 fist bumps walking down the aisle of the plane to his seat.

Please, more good news, something positive. I want to hear how many people were safely flown out of Afghanistan today, how many Covid 19 vaccines have been given worldwide, where masks are being worn, things like this.

hand drawn masks,TRUMP in a red circle with a slash through it, when I go out. Trader Joe's is always a guarantee of three "thumbs up" for the mask. I live in a blue area.

Most of the places where I shop are within walking distance. If I wore something like that around here, I would never make it home.

and I know I would I would be harassed if I wore it in one of those places.

5 years ago I made a tons of anti-tRump bumper stickers, earrings, pins for myself but then I kept getting requests for them. Thar surprised me at first since I wore them everywhere I went and no one bothered me. I'm 5'1" too so I was a little wary but that disappeared fast.

I think the craziness regarding masks is a lot worse and is different from plain old anti-tRump stuff from the past several years. The mask issue is a truly bizarre one.

is when everyone starts mocking trump day in, day out, which I think is coming soon. As more and more of his pathetic behavior during his term in office comes to light, and that he spent a majority of his time bamboozling the public while in office, pocketing all that he could get his or his family's hands on while in office, making supremely bad decisions based not on American interests but trump interests, in short, a traitor.

....walked past the other on a plane. This was just before the election and they were happily greeting each other with optimistic stuff like "We got to get this done!". I'd enjoy seeing the two assholes get on the plane that Swalwell was on wouldn't you?

If so, I think an order for a couple gross is now in order.


You'll note how effectively it handles Donald the Duck. I've no doubt it would work as well on Donald the Sleaze.
