52% of Americans want Obama back as president. 40% of Americans want trump impeached.

Your president, America.
GOP, what have you done!
Here is how to make your voice heard. Call the Senate Committee on Homeland Security. I got through this morning and left a voicemail. Also, send the email. Tell them no to Bannon being on the National Security Council.
Also, in a predawn vote the GOP voted to repeal transparency laws for oil companies requiring them to disclose payments to foreign governments. What is it with the dark-of-night voting by the GOP? Why is everything hidden from the light of day?

One of the jobs of the NSC is to oversee a secret panel that authorizes the assassination of “enemies of the United States Government” – including American citizens. These targeted killings are fully authorized by law under the Congressional military authorization act following 9/11. There is no trial, no due process, and no public record of the decision or the assassination itself.
Just to recap the absurdity: the President of the United States has appointed a known propagandist, nationalist, and white supremacist to replace the highest military adviser in the country on a council that authorizes secret, legal, targeted killings of American citizens (and others) without due process.

Dear Deborah,
We just learned that the Senate Committee on Homeland Security is taking calls about Steve Bannon's appointment to the National Security Council (NSC).
We’re told that they’re tallying calls.
You might get a busy signal but try, try, try again all this weekend. Leave a message if you get through to voicemail.
The number: 202-224-4751
Be sure to tell the committee that you believe no individual whose primary responsibility is political in nature should be allowed on the NSC or authorized to attend its meetings. Partisan politics have no place in our national security.
Please also email the committee using this form.
Thank you,
Your friends at the SPLC
PS On Thursday the GOP controlled house voted to overturn Obama's rule restricting gun sales to the severely mentally ill. Can you believe it? http://www.npr.org/2017/02/02/513126985/house-votes-to-overturn-obama-rule-restricting-gun-sales-to-mentally-ill?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20170203 |

Burnout is real
I took yesterday off.....the news in America is too depressing to contemplate all the time.
Standing Rock this morning
Another Wounded Knee just so a Canadian company can build a pipeline to bring Canadian oil to the coast to ship to China. Why are we killing Americans and contaminating our water and soil for them and their jobs and their money?
A 4 month old baby was denied entry to the US for her urgently needed heart surgery....her Grandparents and uncle are US citizens. She may not survive the 90 day wait.

trump has removed white supremacists from the terrorist watch list. I wonder why?
trump's nominee for supreme court started a "Fascists Forever" organization when in prep school. Guess we know why trump picked him, as well.

February is Black History Month
Wow. Trump's Black History Month speech. This isn't any "I have a dream" speech.

A sign from the National Holocaust Museum correlated with current events.
Anne Frank and her family were denied entry to the US as refugees, too.

A Florida congressman just drafted a bill to completely abolish the EPA. It isn't enough to sell off federal and National Park lands, and to drill in them. They want to destroy the environment completely.
Unilever's brand Dove just released an "alternative facts" campaign in the UK mercilessly mocking trump and conway. Our country, or rather trump's, is the butt of jokes everywhere.

Keep your eye on the big structural issues: Trump’s unconstitutional conflicts of interest (Article I, Section 9), his unconstitutional ban on Muslims (1st Amendment), the likelihood that Russian operatives didn’t just influence the election but affected the outcome (violating Article II, Section 1), his attack on the free press (1st Amendment), and his foreign policy of courting Putin, destroying NATO, and destabilizing the world -- which is why he’s made Steve Bannon a principal on the National Security Council.
Trump is a master at distracting attention. His showmanship, antics, and tweets are designed to be the news of the day. He turned his Supreme Court nomination into an episode of the Apprentice. But don’t for a moment lose sight of the move toward tyranny that lies at the core of this presidency. And fight it.

Ironically, today is National Freedom Day
A 5 year old was hand-cuffed for 4 hours at an airport in America. The Mother of a US Veteran citizen died because she was not allowed to return to America to get healthcare....she has lived here since 1995 and was away visiting family, and turned away at the airport. A physician in Brooklyn who was visiting family in Sudan is not being allowed back home to care for his patients.
Aren't you all feeling safer being protected from a 5 year old, an 80 year old, and a doctor?
And the hypocracy of it all....no Muslim bans on the 7 countries where trump does business and where actual terrorists have come from....mainly Saudi Arabia.
California is investigating Melania as it appears she likely is here illegally. She worked here before having work visas. She got a green card based on marriage in 2001, but wasn't married until 2005 to trump and "says" she wasn't married previously.

We've all read about the voter fraud allegations he's made; then found out 2 of his family members are registered to vote in 2 states, and his voter fraud expert is registered in 3.
