ignorant, bilious Cretin has brought to our country, and it has been accepted. F'ng accepted!! I know factions of Congress are fighting, and CNN is finally growing a spine...but...
I cannot wrap my head around this lunacy. This insane ...man.

I want to have a focus point to blame. I want to be focused in how to fight...what little I can do and am doing locally and with multitudes of emails and calls, etc. But it just knocks all sense to smithereens. I can thankfully sleep because I am exhausted at night. Then I wake up and it is another new set of hideous acts of treason or disgusting destruction every. single. day.

From about a dozen different angles this is an epic heart-attack-inducing nightmare. I shake my head so much I am going to get neck spasms.

Millions of us are right there with you! I post this link on my FB page every couple of weeks. https://www.congress.gov

Recently I posted an article about how Rep. Chaffetz (R-UT) withdrew his bill to sell off millions of acres of federal land because people were calling their reps with outrage. I reminded my friends that calling makes a difference & you have your phone with you constantly, anyway, so put your senators & reps numbers in your contact list & call them once a day! If I make comments, I always include, "the GOP controlled Congress" so people don't forget who's calling the shots & who to hold accountable when it all goes into the crapper. Like we know it will.

If I didn't laugh, I would be in tears all day. Here's a little humor to brighten your day.

Thanks for the FB link, too!

My daughter and I were in Washington for the March. The energy was astounding. All ages all races, all sexes with a singular mindset stemming from a dozen diverse needs.

RESIST.

And we shall!

P.S. Another Utah R rep, Roy Bishop, is trying to get the Cretin to nullify the 1.3 million acre Bears Ear National Monument that President Obama enacted a few days before he left office.

Pricks.

I missed the Denver march. I had a tight deadline for a new client.

My rep is fairly liberal, but Cory Gardner is one of my senators, but even he knows better than to support the roll back of federal lands in this state!
