During an impromptu press conference he lied 19 times

in under an hour. And his ignorant cult believes every single word.

March For Our Lives Summer road trip to get people registered to vote.

https://marchforourlives.com/tour/
Check out the link and see when they will be in your town. RESIST GUN VIOLENCE....VOTE!

The Road to Change kicks off on Friday, June 15 in Chicago, where we’ll be joining the Peace March, led by students from St. Sabina Academy.

From there we are traveling from city to city, with more than 50 planned stops in over 20 states including Iowa, Texas, California, South Carolina, and Connecticut. We’ll also hold a separate Florida tour with more than 25 stops, visiting every congressional district.

We’re going to places where the NRA has bought and paid for politicians who refuse to take simple steps to save our lives — and we’ll be visiting a number of communities that have been affected by gun violence to meet fellow survivors and use our voices to amplify theirs.

At each stop, we’ll register young people to vote and educate them on the reforms we need to save lives, and whether their local elected officials support these reforms or support the NRA.

For more information about the Road to Change, text CHANGE to 977-79.

Tomorrow and June 23rd "Families Belong Together" protest.

There are rallies in 100+ US cities. Check on the link to see if one is near you. Spread the word!!! THANKS!
What better way to celebrate "Flag Day"

If you can't attend, they are also having a lunch hour for people who want to take action. Here is how you can help...

Families Belong Together opposes the cruel, inhumane and unjustified separation of children from their parents along the U.S. border with Mexico and at other ports of entry into the U.S. We protest the conditions in which these children are kept. We protest the irreversible trauma that has already been perpetrated on these children and their parents for the crime of seeking a better life.

To separate immigrant families, victims of violence, hunger and poverty, is to re-violate them. Children as young as 18 months are torn from their mother’s arms by the U.S. government. This is violent abuse. These families are victimized again by the government to which they turn for help. Families Belong Together opposes the inhumane policies of the Trump Administration, Border Patrol, and I.C.E. and calls for immediate reform.

Rob Reiner's Committee to Investigate Russia



Reiner started this last year and I get it in my gmail and I am impressed with their information. I didn't know if anyone else is receiving it too.

Video tRump made for Kim.


"They have great beaches,” Trump said. “You see that whenever they are exploding the cannons in the ocean,” he said. “I said look at that view. That would make a great condo. I explained it. I said instead of doing that, you could have the best hotels in the world. Think of it from the real estate perspective. South Korea and China and they own the land in the middle. Great. I told them, you may not want to do what’s there. You may want to do a smaller version of it. That could be. He looked at that tape.”

Nothing has been accomplished in N Korea.

The summit is not a strategy. Joseph Yun, a global analyst, is saying that they are disappointed.... missed opportunity to make the area safer via a declaration. The summit should have come last with negotiations, not first.

It is a win for Kim due to all the PR. He is getting what he wanted. No removal of nukes, etc. Kim gets to keep his weapons and now he bought more time for his country. Maybe a few sanctions will be lifted.

I just read an interview with Tony Bourdain after the election.

https://www.eater.com/2016/12/21/14038332/anthony-bourdain-election-trump-interview
I also remembered his description of Putin while dining in Moscow...He is so spot on with his observations.

"He strikes me as a businessman—a businessman with an ego. OK, so he’s like Donald Trump—but shorter.”
— Anthony Bourdain on Vladimir Putin

I miss him already.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
