We ignore them at our peril


"North Korean leader Kim Jong Un just stated the nuclear button is on his desk at all times. Will someone from his depleted, food starved regime please inform him that I too have a nuclear button, but mine is much bigger and more powerful that his, and my button works."
- President Trump
Threatening nuclear war and bragging about our capability to annihilate an imaged enemy is the single most important reason to legally remove a mentally, temperamentally and morally unfit president. Unless he's stopped Trump will likely stumble the world into nuclear war. His words and deeds are warning us. We ignore them at our peril.

2017...the year of living dangerouly

As bad as it was, 2017 could have been much worse

  • We didn't abolish the Affordable Health Care Act, taking health care away from millions and causing thousands of unnecessary deaths
  • We didn't abolish the Iran nuclear deal, possibly the most critical war avoiding initiative since the Cuban Missile Crisis. 
  • We didn't attack North Korea for sensibly creating a nuclear shield against American efforts to topple their regime for the last 67 years.
  • We didn't send to the Senate an avowed homophobe and Christian fanatic twice tossed from the Alabama Supreme Court for violating the Constitution. 
  • We didn't shred sensible immigration guidelines which honor the American ethos. 
  • We didn't ban transgenders from honorably serving in the military.
  • We didn't build The Wall. 
  • We didn't sweep the breathtaking collusion of the Republican Party with Russia to influence the election under the rug.

Let's take this first of 365 in 2018 to celebrate and rejoice about the harm prevented. Tomorrow we must re-energize the Resistance as the dark forces of regression foiled in 2017 seek to make them a reality in 2018.
