BigmanPigman's JournalHave you ever experienced your recently deceased pet's spirit
in your home soon after it died? Have you heard, seen or felt anything that your pet used to do while it was still alive? Was is comforting and not spooky?
Is CT turning from Blue to Red?
I just heard on MSNBC that the GOP governor has the lead. 
Today is National Dog Day...don't forget to
give your best friend extra kisses and a special treat. Woof!
Has anyone bought a Baby tRump balloon yet?
I saw one at the Stop Kavanaugh protest today and the owner said it wouldn't go up even though it was filled with helium. It went up 12' and sort of stopped. I wanted to buy one since I have seen them advertised here on DU and it was really cool looking in person but I don't know if I should now.
Reporting in from the STOP KAVANAUGH protest
in San Diego. Hardly any young voters there. Don't they realize their futures are at stake?!? Such APATHY!
There were very clever speakers and music. There were chairs set up on both sides of the podium on the stage for the justices of the SCOTUS who dressed in robes and there was a Ruth Ginsburg too. There was a speaker dressed as a handmaid but was a a male immigrant from Syria and a student. There was a 9 year old trans kid who was so wonderful...he spoke with such confidence and poise. Afterwards I had to shake his hand and his mom's too. The justices were called "The Supremes". Musicians called The Resisters played really good music too.
How do we get younger people to care?!?! It is very frustrating to say the least.
*I spoke to a lot of people and they are all aware of the Climate March on Sept 8th in thousands of US cities and hundreds around the world ahead of the big conference in San Francisco....
On Sept 8 we’re planning thousands of actions and events in cities and towns around the world to demand our local leaders commit to building a fossil free world that works for all of us. No more stalling, no more delays: it's time for 100% renewable energy for all.
This September, cities, states, businesses and civil society from around the world are gathering in California for the Global Climate Action Summit.
The Summit has invited every mayor, governor, and business leader in the world to make a bold climate commitment to help the world reach the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Plan or join an event on September 8. If your elected officials commit, your rally can be a celebration. If they fail to act, it's a chance to hold them accountable.

On August 26, all across the country, Americans will stand united in commitment to our freedom and our future to demand that the U.S. Senate stop Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for a lifelong appointment to the Supreme Court.
In Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump chose a nominee who not only has extremist, ultra-conservative legal views on a range of issues, but who has repeatedly argued that the Supreme Court should put the president above the law. Donald Trump is at the center of a criminal investigation, and he should not be allowed to pick his own judge and jury.
Kavanaugh would rule against reproductive freedom, health care, the environment, voting rights, workers’ rights, LGBTQ rights, and immigrant rights for generations.
Senators in all fifty states must listen to their constituents, do their jobs to uphold the will of the people, protect the soul of our country and Constitution, and block this nomination. United, we will fight to ensure Brett Kavanaugh never gets confirmed by the Senate. We will #StopKavanaugh. Join us.
Spread the word...over 150 cities are having protests. I just finished my signs and am ready to go!
Has McConnell issued any statements about McCain?
I have been out all day but haven't heard or read anything from the leader of the Senate. Is he still pissed off over the ACA "thumbs down" ACA repeal vote?
Will the Christian Right forgive him if he is a pedophile?
They forgive everything he has done with the reasoning that "as long as he did it BEFORE he was elected it doesn't bother them". If he does have one or a dozen illegitimate kids and a gold showers pee pee tape they will excuse him. Would being a pedophile cross their hypocritical line of what is moral and what isn't?
Investigating illegal actions by Pence.
I received an email from Scott Dworkin in (Dem Coalition) in about investigating Pence...
"Because of all the focus on the treason, deception, incompetence and cruelty that Trump displays every day through the wrecking ball that is his presidency, we forget that Mike Pence is just as bad - if not worse.
Help our investigative team shine a brighter light on Mike Pence and his role in the rampant criminality and corruption of this administration.
We'll be looking into the following key areas:
The Campaign: Pence was hand-picked as VP by now convicted felon Paul Manafort. Manafort was essentially acting as a foreign agent and Trump's campaign manager at the time. Was his selection approved by Vladimir Putin - and if so, why?
The Transition: Pence was the head of Trump's transition and intimately involved with assembling the most corrupt administration this country has ever seen. Pence also told numerous lies during this time period about what he knew and when related to Mike Flynn's contacts with Russia.
The Presidency: As vice-president, Pence has told numerous lies related to the initial reasons for the firing of James Comey and played a role in the crafting of Rod Rosenstein's memo that was used as justification for that move. And his recent calls for Mueller to wrap up the Trump-Russia treason investigation make him part of the broader effort to obstruct the pursuit of justice.

How are you doing so far DUers? The rain is expected to dump tons
since the storm is moving so slowly (very, very slowly). CNN said that it is past saturation point and any more rain is going to lead to massive flooding.
