Be a Trumpbuster in 2019!

Trumpbusters unite as Democrats take back the House.

Donald J Trump, the biggest ghoul on the planet, has shut down the government and is threatening to close the southern border. Why? Because he wants a wall between the United States and Mexico—and he is going to make the US taxpayer pay for it–after promising for his entire campaign that “Mexico will pay for the wall.”

Trump is also the biggest walking, talking, belching, farting hate-monger on the planet. He is cruel to the bone. His Administration is still taking brown children from their parents as they seek asylum at the border and putting them all in prison. Two children have died under his watch—a seven-year-old girl and eight-year-old boy. Trump is currently spinning the narrative to blame Democrats and Nancy Pelosi. It’s just pure propaganda and lies that spew from Trump’s trap. His for-profit prison cronies are making bank on the imprisonment and misery of thousands of immigrants and refugees and Donald Trump continues to confirm he’s a racist by targeting them and calling them criminals. nothing nothings for humans and their suffering.

Trump is a liar and a thief. There is nothing he won’t say in his quest to continue taking money from the American taxpayer. Just this week, WE taxpayers are paying $54,000 for tents for Trump’s Mar-a-lago New Year’s party where rich elites paid over $1000 a ticket to be near Trump and garner some influence. Can you say emoluments clause?

Trump’s stupidity and cruelty are limitless. Now, while the government is shut down and 800,000 federal employees are working without pay and wondering how they’ll pay their bills going into the new year, Trump has denied them raises that were meant to start in 2019. He went out of his way to shut down the government and he purposely froze their pay. Why? Because he thinks they are mostly Democrats, and he’s made Democrats the enemy. Along with journalist or anyone that opposes him.

Democrats won the House of Representatives back in the 2018 midterm elections. The blue wave happened. It was a friggin’ tsunami!  The majority of people clearly told Trump and the Republicans they DO NOT support his racists ideas and we DO NOT WANT A WALL! And we must NOT become complacent.

On January 3, 2019, the Dems will take control of the House but the Republicans still control the Senate. That means we need all Trumpbusters on board. We beat the Republicans and Trump at the ballot box in November, but the fight has just begun. We must continue to call our congressmen and women; we must march and protest; we must write letters and speak-up. The government shut down is only ONE OF MANY problems that need to be solved: immigration, climate change, the economy are but a few more.

Trump’s ugliest, most vile tendencies are being amplified as he’s being cornered in the Russia/Mueller probe. Shutting down the government and taking away worker raises is proof he’s vindictive and spiteful. The proof is right in front of us, like that blue light that lit up the New York skyline for millions to see. Was it a blown transformer from the ConEd like the New York Police Department reported? Some in the twitter-verse suggested aliens. If so, let’s hope they meet our leader and do unto him as he’s done unto others: that means take advantage of and abuse. Trump deserves a never-ending anal probe because he has certainly stuck it to others.

 

New York city skyline blue light
Dems taking back the House!

Or maybe, just maybe, that blue light heralded the pending arrival of the Democrats and with the help of you, me, and Trumpbusters across the country, karma and justice WILL prevail.

I’ve Been Slimed

I used to be kinder. How about you? The stress and pressure is wearing me down. Donald Trump is projecting the worst traits of humanity as he projectile vomits hate, bitterness, propaganda and lies. The Make America Great Again (MAGAts) have been empowered and hate crimes are up 57% over last year with African Americans and members of the Jewish community being the most targeted.

 

America, World, We’ve All Been Slimed

 

Inauguration Day, January 23, 2017 all hell broke loose. The containment grid was turned off and Trump and evil minions let loose on America and the world. Can you feel it? The goblins swirling around the tops of the building in Manhattan, over the White House, and to the Towers of Riyadh?

 

Do you think the ghost of slain Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was a US resident of Virginia and a reporter for the Washington Post will haunt Trump or Saudi Prince Mohammad Bone Saw?

 

The madness began quickly. Trump signed 32 Executive Orders in his first 100 days in office; more than any other president. Why? Because his ideas and actions were so unpopular he couldn’t get Congress to agree to or approve much of it. Trump immediately rolled back equal pay for women and made access to medical services harder to get; changed consumer-friendly regulations to maximize bank profits; and alienated an entire religion of people with his racist Muslim ban.

 

But it wasn’t until Trump started putting kids in cages that my anger really took hold. Immigrant children taken from their parents—just for crossing the border! I am angrier then I’ve ever been as an American citizen. Watching Trump and his administration come after women, Hispanics, Muslims, Vets, members of the LGBTQ community—pretty much EVERYONE without white skin and a penis—I am pissed. But, I’m determined NOT to let this shit-show President make me meaner. It’s hard to be kind to people who blame you, and slime you, and victimize others. Their rights end when they try to force their will on others. That’s what Trump is doing now.

 

I will NOT be like Trump:  A Toxic, Repulsive, Unhinged, Mean-spirited, Prick.

 

How about you? Have you become like the vile creature we know as Trump? Have your own demons come back to haunt you? How do you routinely treat your fellow wo/man? Have you been, are you now, compassionate? Do you take the time to understand? To put yourself into someone else’s shoes?

 

Where has MY love gone? It’s right here, raging over the onslaught of Trump policies that are making this world less safe for anyone who is not white or Christian. Where has MY love gone? Into working overtime to be caring, understanding, helpful, and hopeful. I will NOT meet hate with hate. I will defuse it with love, which doesn’t mean you get to assault me or my neighbor just because you don’t like our color, God, or politics. Bill Madden sums it up beautifully:

 

Bill Madden @activist360

There’s so much sadness today. So much seems unfair. Each time we log in to Twitter, or turn on the TV, there’s the ugliness, there’s Trump. We must fight for the beauty that is hidden, fight to reveal it—fight for love, for justice, for each other. There’s only us.

10:34 AM – 09 Jun 18

 

I used to think Robert Mueller, Michael Avanetti, and Stormy Daniels were the Trumpbusters, and yes they are, but they are only 3 people.

 

WE ARE ALL TRUMPBUSTERS! I, you, me, we!

 

I am. You are. We are, together! The only way to get rid of Trump and his foul-mouthed, lie spinning gang is all of us together—VOTING!

 

Trump has enabled plenty of Stinkers. The Trump kids are master-slimers, too: Eric, Treason Tot Jr, and I-vanka-be-president-someday-daddy. And then we have Bannon and Giuliani, Pruitt, Carson, and Zinke. Nazi Steven Miller and women without reason or souls Kelly Conway and shit-spewing Sara Sanders. And that’s just for starters. That doesn’t include the nasty-ass spirits of Flynn and Manafort, Rick gates, Michael Cohen, you know, the Comrades… the list is endless.

 

But, we are all Trumpbusters, and we are armed with:

1. The Constitution of the United States of America

2. Facts

3. Our Vote!! Which represent the hope for all humanity

 

“There is just so much hurt, disappointment, and oppression one can take… The line between reason and madness grows thinner.”  –Rosa Parks

 

Have you been slimed?

Take the quiz. Check-off all that apply:

__Can’t sleep or using too much sleep as a coping tool

__Can’t eat or can’t STOP eating

__Depression or thoughts of hopelessness

__Excessive anxiety and worry

__Lack of coping tools

__Drinking too much

__Smoking too much

__Fear (of being deported, of losing healthcare, of killing the planet, of world war 3)

__Anger or non-stop sense of irritation

__Fighting with friends or family

 

Remember, we’ve all been Trumped! He is Gozer the Destructor. He’s the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man with a tiny little dick or at least so says Stormy Daniels. And I believe her story, and I believe Dr. Blasey Ford’s story, too. #believewomen

 

Trump is a…choose your own combination.

T: toxic, troubled, terrible, trash-talking, tiny, twisted

R: repulsive, rotten, rancid, raunchy, repulsive, rabid, risky, rude

U: unhinged, uncouth, ugly, ulcerated, unctuous

M: mean-spirited, maniacal, monstrous, motley, morbid

P: Putin-lovin’, porker, POS, prick

 

I think we can all agree this November 6th election is the most important election in the history of the United States. Democracy itself is on the ballot. A vote for Democrats is a vote for humanity. A belief that we are in it to win it, together! Not like Trump who clearly declares winners and losers. And if you’re not white, Christian, or rich, your ass gets tossed off the island.

 

Years of reality tv (Survivor, The Bachelor, The Apprentice) have hardened our hearts. What’s swirling around each of us are our own demons. They’ve joined the sesspool of Trump’s scary and radical and exclusive thinking. He’s spent his entire business career thinking only of himself and his needs. He thinks with his dick or as a dick. Take your pick.

 

In a classic Ghostbusters scene, Peter Venkman and Ray Stantz, aka Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, explain to the NYC Mayor how the ghosts, ghouls, and goblins got loose.

 

“Everything was fine with our containment system until dickhead here shut it off,” Ray says to the Mayor indicating, Walter Peck, EPA Inspector.

“They caused an explosion,” Peck yells out in defense.green ghost

“Is this true?” asks the Mayor turning to Bill Murray’s character.

“Yes, it’s true,” says Murray looking at Peck. “This man has no dick.”

(ba da bomp)

 

Look how ridiculous this is? This presidency, Donald Trump in the White House, has the world talking about how big of a dick he really is.

 

Barbara’s observation caught mine, too.

 

Barbara Malmet @B52Malmet

Back before the current regime stole the White House, was there ever such a dick-driven dialogue in the national conversation? Bannon sucks his. Donald’s is ugly. Kavanaugh’s is in your face. It’s like a presidency of penises.

She responded later to dozens of tweeted responses echoing her disgust:

Every time I think I’m out, I’m in.

10:59 PM 23 Sep 18

 

And here you have it—THE SOLE/SOUL PURPOSE OF THIS CHAPTER—

 

I’M SO FAR OUT, I’M IN! ARE YOU?

 

It is up to me. It is up to YOU. It’s up to each one of us. We ALL must VOTE to stop this persecution of others.

 

You MUST pay attention!

 

Two out of my three very best friends don’t believe Roe v Wade can be overturned. They don’t get it. There are reasons Kavanaugh as so aggressively rammed down our throats and seated on the Supreme Court. He is the last vote needed to lean the court conservative.

 

There are various degrees of WOKE

1/3 of us have no clue that

1/3 of us are being persecuted by another

1/3 of us committing the crime

The Evil is Real

Trump has been in the White House for 500 days. It feels like 500 years. He’s burning down the house and frying everything and everyone in his way; including Schroedingers kitten who I talked about in my book—Douchebag Wisdom: Dealing with Donald Trump.

 

Not only is the kitten dead. It’s been hideously tortured by some for-profit drug company, in it for the mega-money. Someone I’ve since unfriended from my Facebook newsfeed posted the most heinously cruel video of animal torture I’ve ever seen. The two seconds it took for me to scroll-by still keeps me up at night. I no longer trust her to share posts to my newsfeed. (Can you say “hide all posts.”) And she’s a trauma coach! It must be her MO: cause trauma first and then try to cure it. Whatever it was, it was sick.

 

The kitten has been fricasseed. Along with a couple thousand of immigrant kids living in tents in the middle of Texas, in July in 106 degree heat. I don’t give a crap how big your tent fan is—it’s NOT OKAY and it’s NOT SUMMER CAMP!

 

Here’s what I’ve realized after six months of debilitating depression along with manic fits of productivity. (I did write a 300 page book about Trump after all.)  Thanks to the shit-show that is Donald Trump, I must NOT sink into despair and apathy. I MUST persist. We must persist. We must take our emotions and then funnel them into positive, productive outcomes for us all.

 

Peter Daou @peterdaou

Be angry, be outraged, be positive, be down, be up, be strong, be weak … all of these are natural responses to the stress of life and politics. But living in a state of hate consumes the hater, not the hated. It’s never worth it.

6:19 PM – 1 Jul 2018

 

Let the Trumpers wear the HAT that is RED. It makes it easy to spot them and avoid them. There are 2 days until the Nov 6th election and here’s what I’m vowing to do:

1. Vote

2. Get everyone I know to vote

3. Share the facts–kindly

TRUMP IS PUTIN’S BITCH

 

THIS is Trump Derangement Syndrome

Faux News likes to talk about Dems and Libs with Trump Derangement Syndrome. But Trumpers believe he is smart, capable, and he can do no wrong. Example, Sean Spicer wrote in his book, The Briefing, about Trump:

 

“He is a unicorn, riding a unicorn over the rainbow.”

 

I think someone spiked the Trump kool-aid with a little LSD.

 

“There are two ways to be fooled.

One is to believe what isn’t true;

the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” 

–Sorn Kierkegaard (1813-1855), philosopher

 

Thanks to the person who memed this and my apologies for passing it on without acknowledgment, but it’s perfect.

 

Young, intelligent women want to believe him. Some twist their thoughts like yogi pretzels trying to align Trump’s thinking with their own. But taking away a woman’s right to choose what happens to her own body?!

 

Ladies. Karma hits hard—and she’s a bitch. Do you value your own body? Do you need birth control? What options do you have if you do get pregnant? Do you care about fair wages? Do you give a crap that kids are in cages?! For God’s sake—Vote for Democrats! The ass—and vag—you save may be your own.

 

John Oberlin—friend from my twitter feed, please tell ‘em whad up.

Here’s the situation:

-Sara Huckabee-Sanders is now blaming Democrats for Trump lying

-@FoxNews is reporting it as true that Democrats force Trump to lie

-#MAGA are buying it like cult members

-@GOP continues to enable this crazy train

-Dems are the only sane people left

Trumpbusters are common everyday people doing extraordinary acts of lawful protest. Organizing. Marching. Voting.

 

We are armed with the Constitution. We use facts. We vote!

Counterchekist@counterchekist

E Pluribus Unum. That’s more than just a saying on our currency. It represents who we are—from many, one. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, what name you call god, the color of your skin, or your politics; you are an American. This is what makes us great.

8:16 AM – 26 Jul 18

 

Amen brother…or sister, since the name and logo are gender-neutral.

 

Many streams make a mighty river.

                                                                                    Proverb

 

The 2016 election gave us a binary choice, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Their philosophies and campaigns couldn’t have been more starkly different. Trump stoked fear; Hillary talked togetherness. Trump said it’s us versus them; Hillary said all of us stronger, together.

 

That same choice is on the ballot, right now. Donald Trump, who only has time for watching Fox News and stoking hate at his rallies is quite clearly campaigning for himself. “A vote for _________ is a vote for me, Donald Trump,” the greatest con man on the earth. Hugely. Bigly.

 

I STILL choose Hillary’s Democratic philosophy. #StillWithHer

 

Joe Heller summed it up beautifully. For Donald Trump, read from the top down. For Hillary Clinton, read from the bottom up.

 

 

A Learned Response

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” Nelson Mandela

 

Donald Trump’s Dad, Fred, was a KKK man, and Trump, the declared “Nationalist,” is stirring up hate and violence, and pointing fat fingers at brown people and Democrats. The caravan of mostly women, babies, and children that is currently on its way to the US from Honduras is Trump’s biggest threat and talking point. He and Pence are whipping up the fear. And it starts with children.

 

When they arrive, will they be gunned down? Trump has told the military to treat people throwing rocks with bullets!! THAT IS A WAR CRIME. Just because Trump is too stupid to understand the law or doesn’t care to understand the law doesn’t mean our military personnel must respond. Let’s hope Mad Dog Mattis will intervene, although he sounds pretty racist and repulsive himself.

 

Will they have to surrender their children? Or will they just be snatched and imprisoned. Or will everyone go to Trump’s concentration camp tent cities. As a “professional builder” you’d think Trump could build great cities, but instead he’s looking to build prisons and concentration camps. What a simpleton, what a monster, what a destructor.

 

“I hope the other side realizes they better take it easy.,” DJT threated in a tv interview of anyone who opposes him. Or what?! You’ll send the military after all your critics? Good luck with that!

 

He is the one invoking violence. One of his followers sent bombs to 14 political rivals, including many of Trump’s favorite targets, including CNN, billionaire philanthropist Soros, celebrity Robert De Niro, Joe Biden, the Obama’s and the Clintons. Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and the list goes on and on!

 

Another of Trump’s followers killed two black citizens in broad daylight in a grocery store in Kentucky.

 

Jesus H Christ, Republicans! Where is your outrage? Have you misplaced your souls? Trump is inciting this. His minions are listening to his violent rhetoric and they are acting. Trump is to blame; direct cause and effect. He spews hatred and his red hat cult followers act.

 

Humans Living in Hell

“The worst terror a child can experience is being taken from their parents. Would blonde, blue-eyed children ever be treated so brutally at our border? Would 4,600 Puerto Ricans have been left to die if they were “white? No. Trumpism is racism. What in God’s name have we become? Jim Carrey

 

The Devil Incarnate

On May 1, 2018 Trump implemented his Zero Tolerance law and began snatching brown children from their parents as they crossed the border seeking asylum. The United Nations needs to prosecute every inhumane shell-of-a-person who implemented this policy. There are currently over 13,000 children imprisoned in Trump’s for-profit prisons; 250 are under the age 10 and the government has NO plan to reunite them with their parents.

More Dark and Sinister News

“From the Associated Press: US Army quietly discharging immigrant recruits

By Martha Mendoza and Garance Burke

San Antonio (AP) – Some immigrant U.S. Army reservists and recruits who enlisted in the military with a promised path to citizenship are being abruptly discharged, the Associated Press has learned.

The AP was unable to quantify how many men and women who enlisted through the special recruitment program have been booted from the Army, but immigration attorneys say they know of more than 40 who have been discharged or whose status has become questionable, jeopardizing their futures.”

 

Trump’s racist tendencies stretch to our military as well.

 

From New York Magazine: Trump: U.S Can’t Afford Veterans’ Health Care Without Cuts

After adding $1.5 trillion to the deficit for tax cuts, Trump opposes adding to the debt to increase health-care for veterans.

 

From the twitter feed of Trinity @TrinityResists

Veteran’s Bills blocked under Trump:

–Health benefits

–Retirement pay restoration

–Vets retaining

Wounded vets job security

–C-H Suicid prevention act

–Homeless vet reintegration

He’s NOT for our military.

He’s so xenophobic, he’s now deporting immigrants serving our country.

5:25 PM 05 Jul 18

 

Of course Trump doesn’t have money for Vets, but he does for for-profit prisons.

 

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off to Jail We Go

The greatest country on Earth, and we’re building prisons and using drugs as ONE of the reasons to build them. The other reason is Immigrants. Trump has all the money and the power in the world—and he’s building prisons! Jeff Sessions is stacking the Constitution and making crossing our borders IN ANY CAPACITY is felony—and without due process! These people often go to FOR PROFIT prisons that enrich Trump’s cronies. It’s obscene. And the Republicans are complicit. I wonder how many members of congress have stock in for-profit prisons? Or in the pharmaceutical industry as well?

 

Our current drug dilemma: keep marijuana illegal, jail people for marijuana, but allow drug companies to manufacture fucked-up legal derivatives. Get people hooked on opioids, send them to prison, and ignore the research that says marijuana helps in opioid addiction recovery. It’s a vicious cycle manufactured by private and pro-profit industries. Marijuana could help cure opioid addition caused by their drugs. But who’s going to fill all those prison beds?

 

“Private prison populations up 120%” says the Justice Policy Institute, and “private prison companies boost incarceration rate for profit” they concluded.

 

“The three biggest companies in the private prison industry have contributed $835,514 to federal candidates and $6,092,331 to state politicians. Democrats received 31.8 percent of the money, Republicans got 59.1 percent, and 8.7 percent went to ballot measures, according to the institute,” reported Dailykos.com.

 

According to Amy Siskind who wrote The List, “Trump’s own inauguration fund collected $500,000 from two private prison companies housing detained migrant families.”

 

Regulatory filings reveal Trump’s buddies are going to reap big financial rewards from his immigration policies. Trump is literally a human trafficker. HE’s the one who’s stealing the children—and putting them in cages!

 

Now, this very moment as I write this, Donald Trump is out stoking fear and hate, making the PEOPLE in a Honduran caravan nothing more than craven animals. The caravan “has some very tough people,” he said. “Criminals in some cases,” Trump declared, then quickly embellished, “many cases.” There is NO proof of that lie. He just wants you to HATE these people.

 

He plans to put them in tent camps—internment camps! “Thousands of tents,” Trump has said. People, HOW CAN THIS BE OKAY? He’s currently deployed over 5,000 troops to our southern border. They are deploying barb wire.

 

“Barb wire used properly can be a beautiful site.”

                                                                                    Donald Trump, POS

 

The barbed wire comment came after he declared rocks were to be considered a firearm so feel free to use deadly force. No, that’s not a direct quote, it’s just what he implied. But no surprise here: he dangled a “2nd Amendment solution” for his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 campaign.

 

Who—coincidently—he ALSO wants to LOCK UP!

 

Trump will maintain our alarming and embarrassingly high incarceration rates: 750 per 100,000. That makes the United States is number one in the world for putting people in jail. With capitalism, jail, too, has become a great place to make money off of people. Trump and Republicans have no heart, no empathy. It is truly all about the money and power.

 

And breathing right down our necks and straight-up our backsides, you have Russia, who incarcerates 628 per 100,000. Geeze, I wonder how many of those people were non-violent pot smokers? Or black or brown? Or journalists.

 

UNPRECEDENTED TIMES

We keep hearing “these are unprecedented times.” The Obamas are out, Biden’s out, Oprah, and Will Ferrell—all knocking on doors! Robert De Niro, Tom Hanks, Carl and Rob Reiner have been using their voice and influence. And Taylor Swift has activated an army of young voters in Tennessee! Voting for this mid-term election is up 700% from the last mid-term. And we’re talking Millennials, hopefully all voting for Democrats.

 

The Ballots are Being Counted—IS YOURS!?

 

This mid-term is coming down to this:

If you are a woman, you are under attack. If you are gay, lesbian, trans, queer, or yet-to-decide, you’re under attack. If your skin is any color than white, you are under attack. This hateful rhetoric is reinforced everyday by Trump, the biggest hate-monger on the planet.

 

You either support Trump, the Republicans, and the Haters with building a wall and committing human rights violations against our southern neighbors. You, too, believe Putin didn’t interfere in 2016 even though the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA all say RUSSIA SUCCESSFULLY ELECTED DONALD TRUMP. I assume you promote violence as a way to solve problems. And you believe climate change isn’t real. You believe the propaganda of Faux News…

 

OR

 

You support Democrats who believe ALL of us are created equal. We believe in healthcare and education and common-sense gun law reform. We KNOW we must save the planet, and believe capitalism and government can co-exist and drive innovative solutions. We have hope and blame no one in our quest to live our best lives. We believe we are stronger together.

 

But all these evil demons flying around, spreading hate, hurting others? It’s time to send them back to where they came, back to a world where respect for others is considered the American Way. An America that doesn’t just “tolerate” others that are different than ourselves but “embraces” differences and strives to work together.

 

It’s time to be polite. It’s time to be kind. It’s time to vote for an all-inclusive, caring United States of America. We can achieve it. That possibility exists for each one of us.

 

And it will take each one of us to open up to possibilities: to the truth of others.

 

Human Rights: No Wrongs

Oh Canada… I visited twice this summer—Niagara Falls, the Canadian side.

 

Meanwhile, while Americans are dealing with Trump’s madness, literally, neighbor to the North–leading the way in legalization of marijuana–Canada, has come up with an additional national anthem. Read the lyrics below. Better yet, go listen on youtube.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I6A0Z2y28g

#CanadianCenterforDiversityandInclusion

 

Canadian Anthem

 

Pablo here believes in God

Jenny is a witch

Samantha is an atheist

And Bill is a Jewish mench

But just because they disagree

doesn’t mean that they are smucks

Cuz when we’re free to be ourselves

Then we’re free –

 

Fred is white and Frank is black

Ebenezer’s in between

Julie’s got the greenest skin

That you’ve ever seen

Though they might look different

They don’t pass the buck

Cuz when we’re free to be ourselves

Then we’re free as –

 

Felicia’s gender-fluid

Joseph is a man

Antwan snipped her testicles

Now she goes by Anne

In spite of different genitals

Their lives don’t run amok

Cuz when we’re free to be ourselves

Then we’re free as –

 

Frederick leans conservative

And sarah she leans green

Abby wears a tinfoil hat

Thinks voting is obscene

And though they might think differently

They don’t think each other suck

Cuz when we’re free to be ourselves

Then we’re free as –

 

Francoise parles francais

Alice speaks her mind

Konjit uses curse words

The most eclectic she can find

And though they may speak differently

Agreements can be struck

Cuz when we’re free to be ourselves

Then we’re free as –

 

Frankly we’re all whacky

Everybody’s got their quirks

But we’ve laid aside our differences

To ensure that we’re not jerks

In this land we fight for freedom

And we all call ourselves Canucks

Cuz when we’re free to be ourselves

Then we’re free as fuuuuuuuuck.

 

And the Oscar for best picture and movie soundtrack go to….the Canadian Center for Diversity and Inclusion!

 

Trumpbusters! It’s time.

 

Time to put our best selves forward, time to come together and steer Trump and his minions to the light side. Time to lead by example.

 

In a classic Ghostbusters scene, the team is atop the skyscraper where Gozer the Destroyer is threatening to destroy humanity.

 

Ray takes the lead, “Gozer the Gozerian. Good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County, and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.”

 

Therefore I, Trumpbuster, Lima Bravo, ask you, Donald Trump, as a duly designated representative of just one of the people of the United States, to resign from the presidency, surrender the White House, and return to your scrupulous business practices until Bob Mueller wielding the American Constitution comes and busts your ass.

 

We have the power. And if Trump the Destroyer or one of his minions asks “Are you a God?”

 

You say YES. And then you save the day—and VOTE!
