So, about all that stuff that Democrats claim to know about stuff...

Are we ever going to, like, see any results?

We're told that Democrats have information about Trump that would outrage the country, but they can't reveal it because of reasons. We're told to wait and be patient, because maybe the FBI or CIA or someone really important honest is probably working on something, so Democrats don't want to mess up the case.

Well how the fuck long are we supposed to wait? Republicans ran to the press as soon as they had false information from Minister Comey, and far from "messing up the case," it helped to lose the election for her.

How long are we supposed to trust that our perennially spineless and powder-dry Democrats, who couldn't even get their shit together and vote unanimously against Trump's disastrous cabinet appointments, actually do have the goods on the dumpster fire now occupying the Whitehouse?


I am not a person of faith. I need something more concrete than "trust us, you'll see."

There are things you can do. Donate to the ACLU. They're suing on our behalf. Show up at a protests. Contact your legislators and tell them what you want them to do.

Don't wait for "Democrats" to do something. Aren't YOU a Democrat? Do something yourself.

Not a single appointment is qualified. This is an illegitimate president. Democrats need to be the loyal opposition to the traitorous GOP; they need to be loyal to Americans.
Two words: Merrick Garland.

That is, after all, the point here.

Your grassroots activism and mine won't amount to shit if cowardly Democrats IN POWER in don't use that power to hold Trump accountable. Perhaps you'd like to call Toomey's office and ask if my calls made a big difference in his vote for DeVos.
