Trump's been having late-night calls with his bestie, Joe Arpaio.

I can't. I just can't. Between this, Anthony Bourdain and the fact my state has been dragging their feet on Medicaid/ACA applications since November (by the time I get approved I'll have to apply again), I can't. I'm not doing well.

It’s Texas in summer and the kids will be in tents; it’s pretty much rows and rows of ovens.

Too soon?

Let's face it, the South never got over losing slavery. It's just a matter of time till they'll be auctioning off these kids, and Trumpettes will all be arguing that they'll be better off.

Can't wait for DAF Trumpshits to start separating them Canadian Illeagleros from their chillins after they sneak cross the border to steal our yobs. Wait, what? That's not happening???

I really feel like its time to, if not exactly take to the streets, begin daily protests. In your town square, or in front of your local Federal Building, something. Start gathering. Pass the word. Be silent (maybe) witnesses. Hope that if a few start, more will join.

Then also too, find any and every community organization that represents anything you care about. Get involved. Donate money if you don't have time, or vice versa. What kind of co-operative structures do you wish we had in place? Start one if it doesn't exist. At the very least, call any/all like minded friends, hold a potluck, share stories and strength. Food and good beverages help this process immensely. Singing and/or chanting together also too. They WILL not take our power from us unless we let them. Don't let them.

What, in the name of sweet mercy, are they going to do when the kids start dying? Yeah, lie and cover up, of course, but hey, Google Earth exists!This is so sickening, I can't even snark with my usual fervor.

The development of my thoughts on the Trump administration:

Dec 2016: We have to support Trump, because if he fails, so does the country.

Jan 2017: Congress will clearly have to pay attention to the depth and breadth of the #Resistance.

Feb 2017: Surely our institutions will continue check his worst actions, just like they are doing with the travel ban.

Spring 2017: All this about Russian collusion and obstruction of justice will certainly cripple the Trump administration.

Autumn 2017: Any day now, they'll have to start seriously talking about impeachment....

Winter 2017/2018: Is there no end to the scandals? Why doesn't the GOP care?

Early 2018: How many days until the mid-terms? Our only real hope to stop the madness and outright cruelty is for a Democrat controlled Congress.

May 2018: Is it bad if I actually *want* there to be some sort of crisis that is clearly his fault, even if people who don't support him get hurt?

June 2018: Whatever it takes, so help me God, whatever it takes to convince Trump's cult that he must go Right Now before he does even more damage to the US.

As i said. I want to see him dragged away screaming and kicking by four black djinns. Ideally in front of 20,000 supporters and the whole world's TV cameras. Just so everyone is clear on where Heaven stands on his actions and behaviour.

The "Drone Air Force for Trump." Better known as the DAFT.
