"There's Another Santa Claus" by Bob Rivers
There's another Santa Claus
There's another Santa Claus
There's another Santa Claus there
Everywhere you look you can't escape
There's Santas everywhere
Bells are ringing, children screaming
Something doesn't seem right
His beard is gray, that's a nice toupee
But his eyebrows ought to be white
There's another Santa Claus
There's another Santa Claus
There's another Santa Claus there
One at the mall and one in the window
Sitting in a velvet chair
Fat ones, skinny ones, tall ones, short ones
Cheeks so rosy and bright
That Christmas cheer smells a lot like beer
Call Santa Claus a cab tonight
Just saw Santa Claus
Just saw Santa Claus
Just gave a Santa Claus change
Drove downtown and a bell ringing Santa Claus
Hit me up again
When those sleigh bells jingle jangle
On my rooftop tonight
Will my chimney be backed up
With Santas all crammed in tight
There's another Santa Claus
There's another Santa Claus
There's another Santa Claus there
Everywhere you look you can't escape
There's Santas everywhere
Bells are ringing, children screaming
Something doesn't seem right
His beard is gray
That's a nice toupee
But his eyebrows ought to be white
In your opinion, funniest comedy of all time?
Calls to Kill Trump's Tax Scam
TrumpTaxScam.org
December 18, 2017
We need massive constituent pressure on Republicans to tell them to reject the Trump Tax Scam.
We're bringing back a super effective calling tool from the TrumpCare fight so those from red states, blue states, and purple states alike can take action to stop this bill.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
https://www.trumptaxscam.org/calls-to-kill-the-tax-scam/
Courage Campaign Super PAC is also trying to stop the Trump Tax Scam by asking people to "Phone Bank" from home.
"You will play a key role in connecting constituents in strategic districts to their representatives and urging them to stop this catastrophic attack on American families.
These districts are currently represented by Republican Members of Congress who represent districts won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 - meaning they're susceptible to changing their vote if we use enough pressure.......It's easy, it's effective, and we have organizers on the line to support you every step of the way."

Activists Are Gearing Up for a Nationwide Response If Trump Fires Mueller
March for Truth
December 16, 2017
MUELLER RAPID RESPONSE
As the nation speculates whether or not Special Counsel Robert Mueller will be fired, activists across the country are gearing up for a nationwide response.
We could have a deepening Constitutional crisis on our hands.
Will Donald Trump take action to stop the investigation?
With indictments being handed down, it has been reported that Donald Trump is considering firing the man investigating him and his inner circle, special counsel Robert Mueller.
Various individuals in the President's circle have suggested the investigation should end, and in recent days GOP attacks on Mueller have reached a fever pitch.
If this happens, our immediate response will determine the future of our democracy.
That's why we're partnering with MoveOn.org, Public Citizen, Indivisible and many others to prepare emergency "No One is Above the Law" rallies that will happen directly following the firing should it occur.
There are already events in more than 300 cities organized across the country!

A living, breathing gift suggestion for Christmas
Adopt a Pitt Bull for Christmas
The Pitt Bull has become popular with the gang-subculture and others who have exploited this breed by forcing them into dog fighting rings, and breeding and training them to be aggressive.
Today, many people automatically associate the Pitt Bull with crime, gangs, and poverty.
With the explosion of Pitt Bull breeders, thousands of Pitt Bulls are ending up in shelters across the country, topping the list of the most euthanized pet.
The fact is, millions of Pitt Bulls are living peacefully in homes throughout the country.
Diesel, or Bingo, or the young one named Percy,
Deserved to be loved, but shown no mercy.
While families celebrate holiday cheer, I know in my heart that my end is near.
The vet will arrive, the lights will go on,
By the time you awake, we all will be gone.
A stranger will come and take me away,
I'll never wake to see another day.
As I close my eyes I'll shed you a tear,
The fondest of memories I'll always keep near.
The only thing I've ever asked of Santa Claus,
Is to stop all these unfair and ridiculous laws.
You said without me, your life was not full,
So why does it matter that I'm a Pitt Bull?
In my dream Santa shouts when he's finished his deed,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...REGARDLESS OF BREED.
Want some real "Christmas cheer" this year?
Go down to your local animal shelter and save a Pitt Bull's life by adopting one.

GOP Tax Cuts Will Trigger Sequestration
OpEdNews
December 14, 2017
By John Peebles
IT'S A CLASSIC TROJAN HORSE
(Budget) bill recently passed by the Senate and approved by reconciliation will generate sequester cuts under the PAYGO program.
Here is Maya MacGuineas writing for The Hill, as quoted by the "Committee of a Responsible Federal Budget":
"The statutory 'paygo' sequester (as opposed to the Budget Control Act sequester that enforces the discretionary spending limits) requires across the board cuts in non-exempt mandatory spending programs to offset any deficit-increasing legislation that was passed in a given year."
PAYGO requires Congress to administer the cuts as the deficits are incurred.
This means the recently passed budget will trigger cuts in:
..."Medicare, agriculture subsidies, student loans, the Social Services Block Grant, parts of border security and mandatory spending in the Affordable care Act other than exchange subsidies and Mediciad expansion.
So with this tax cut will come a doozy of a sequester."
(later on in the article)
The Republicans have passed this budget knowing full well that sequester will apply to spending they don't like and not applied to spending they like.
It's a classic Trojan Horse - minimize cuts to vital social services in selling the Budget Bill, all the while knowing that the tax cuts will trigger sequestration in future years.
Bottom line is that sequestration wont be leveled across the board but on discretionary items only.
The defense bill I believe is immune as are the budgets of the security apparatus.
These are viewed as fundamental to our security and are thus uncut-able.
Meanwhile, the programs that millions of Americans depend on like Medicare are cut and the money given out in tax breaks.
