The date on the article says March 14 but it is from 2017.

Apparently the midterms can be won by the Dems

of they fine tune their campaign to their specific district and not campaign using national, larger Dem issues. The moron's popularity (or lack of) is a bonus but candidates don't need to attack him the way GOP candidates usually do.

Enough! National School Walkout
Wednesday, March 14, 10am
For More Information
Hosted by Women’s March and Women’s March Youth

Women’s March Youth EMPOWER is calling for students, teachers, school administrators, parents and allies to take part in a #NationalSchoolWalkout for 17 minutes at 10am across every time zone to protest Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods. We need action. Students and allies are organizing the national school walkout to demand Congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun violence at our schools, on our streets and in our homes and places of worship.

Students and staff have the right to teach and learn in an environment free from the worry of being gunned down in their classrooms or on their way home from school. Parents have the right to send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of the day.
We are not safe at school. We are not safe in our cities and towns. Congress must take meaningful action to keep us safe and pass federal gun reform legislation that addresses the public health crisis of gun violence. We want Congress to pay attention and take note: many of us will vote this November and many others will join in 2020. Join us in saying #ENOUGH!

Just got back from "The Wall" and the moron's CA visit...

and I got a souvenir. Someone was wearing a t-shirt that said "I Hate Fox News" and I said how much I liked it and she came back and gave me one. Several people wanted to interview me and asked me why I was there and what I thought about the fucking moron. I could go on and on for 14 hours and still not cover everything. There were more cops in riot gear than there were protesters. The police were cool, the sheriff's are the evil ones for some reason (what is the difference?). At an anti moron rally last July there were sheriffs there and they stood around and allowed the neo Nazi instigators to disrupt our speakers for over 30 min until a speaker (a former council person called the chief of police and told her to get them to separate the neo Nazis from the peaceful people).
The "Free Speech" zone at the border wall is for the Moron lovers (all draped in American flags of course) and the local news shows them more than the anti Moron/anti tRump people (like me). We stayed away from them since they are crazy.
There were rallies in San Diego last night, this morning and today all around San Diego.

Tomorrow is the WALKOUT... don't forget to go at 10:00 Wed AM at all schools in all time zones. Hey Hey NRA, How Many people Did You Kill Today?

Lured by the prospect of fat cat donors paying between $35,000 and $250,000 to watch him eat well-done steak with ketchup, a chance to poke a stick in the eyes of Left Coast Progressives, and the opportunity to extol his Border Wall hallucination, the Oligarch-in-Chief is coming to California on March 13.

Specifics about the visit are in short supply beyond a daytime visit to the wall prototypes in Otay Mesa and a Republican fundraiser in Beverley Hills.

The Fresno Bee says there are rumors Trump will visit Fresno on the following day to reward Congressman Devin Nunes (R-Comrade) for his loyalty. The Union-Tribune speculated last week on the possibility of Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-Grifter) tagging along for the border wall inspection.
From the Los Angeles Times:

President Trump, the first president since Dwight Eisenhower to skip a visit to California in his initial year in office, finally will come to the Golden State on Tuesday to inspect prototypes for his proposed southern border wall, according to an administration official.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday said Trump would visit next week. Another official, speaking on condition of anonymity to divulge internal planning, confirmed the president would spend Tuesday in the state with which he’s had the most fraught relationship.

The visit comes as the relationship between Trump and the Democratic state government has reached a new level of toxicity. Many residents consider California to be the center of resistance to Trump, and he has returned the sentiment, often criticizing the state— and suing it. The administration filed suit this week to enforce federal immigration actions.

From another article in the Los Angeles Times:

President Trump will headline a high-dollar fundraiser for his reelection campaign when he visits California next week for the first time in his presidency, according to an invitation obtained by The Times.

Donors will contribute up to $250,000 each to Trump’s campaign and various Republican National Committee accounts to attend the Tuesday evening event at an undisclosed location in Beverly Hills. The top ticket price includes a roundtable, photo opportunity and dinner. The cheapest ticket, which is dinner only, costs $35,000 for an individual and $50,000 for a couple.

CA GOP rep Rohrabacher is facing opposition

from his own party. The GOP candidates in his district are running against him using the anti-Russian issue.
https://www.npr.org/2018/03/11/592394869/gop-congressmans-pro-russia-views-are-an-issue-in-re-election-fight
"...But Rohrabacher is different. Opponents on his left and right are leveraging his long-standing calls for closer relations with Russia as one of the primary issues in their campaign, now that Russian attempts to influence American politics are a flashpoint. Rohrabacher has two Republican challengers this cycle. One is a pro-Trump Republican who is running to defeat the California Republican on an anti-Russia platform.

GOP leadership should be subpoenaed for their Russian complicity

From Daily KOS...
Former FBI head Robert Mueller has been appointed special counsel to investigate Russia's collusion with the Trump campaign & Administration. But the problem does not simply lie with Donald Trump.

What did the Republican leadership know, and when did they know it?

The Washington Post has uncovered a recorded conversation in June 2016 with the House Republican leadership. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said that Russia was paying Trump, at which point Speaker Paul Ryan reminded them the conversation was off-the-record and there are to be no leaks.

But that's not all. Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were briefed multiple times during the election that Russia was trying to rig the election for Trump, and they still did nothing.

They calculated that the election of a Republican President—even if he is a puppet of Vladimir Putin—would help accomplish their partisan goals. They literally put party above country.

Trump would not have been elected President without support from the Republican leadership. If they knew about this collusion a year ago, they must be held accountable today.

Sign the petition to Robert Mueller: Subpoena Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
