The Women's March people have planned a convention in Detroit in Oct.

Over 5,000 are expected to attend Oct 27-29. You can Google it for more info.

Do you REALLY think his base will ever fall below 25-30% and does it matter?

Most people say NO to both questions for three reasons...
1. His base is "a cult of personality" meaning they elected him because they like his thuggish personality and character and NOT the issues and that will never change.
2. This administration and fake prez do NOT follow the norm and can not be compared to past presidents using the same standards (such as polls). We are in new, unprecedented territory.
3. When you do the math and break down the numbers the amount of votes from his base gives us a limited perspective when elections come around in 2018. About 50% of the US population voted and only 50% voted for him. That is 25% of the population that voted for him and not all of them are his base. We have to focus on the borderline voters and those who didn't vote at all.

Looking at the polls evert other day is not as important as other factors in assessing the current political climate and adjusting our strategies and goals.

Doesn't the hurricane radar picture look like a tie dyed shirt?

It is pretty cool (too bad it is related to a major disaster though). I am a visual person (an illustrator) so I see things differently than others sometimes.

The lyrics...

"pops up" and "a pain in the ass". Too funny!

The Weather Channel just said, "This is a real danger and NOT FAKE NEWS".

Grassley had to get the fake prez's attention to notice this as a possible problem by TWEETING him. I can't believe our country has come to this in 7 months (seems like 70 years).

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.
