CNN :House Dems are asking FBI and Justice Dept to investigate Pruitt

for his ongoing crimes since the fucking moron won't fire him since Pruitt is doing his job...destroying the environment while padding his pockets and stashing/stuffing his corrupt financial gains under his used tRump Hotel mattress.

The Donald is ruining my favorite reruns of old TV shows now.

I can't escape him. Just now while watching Frazier they made a tRump reference, a day ago they did the same on The Nanny. When will I be able to laugh at him again instead of getting angry and sick?

The PINK TAX made me pay 25% more than a man today!

When Congresswoman Jackie Speier introduced a bill to eliminate the Pink Tax a few months ago I was thrilled. But the male leadersnip in Congress have sat on it (what a surprise). When I went to CVS today to buy deodorant I compared prices. The name brand deod. for women had the exact same ingredients and size but cost 25% more than the male variety. I asked the cashier what the difference was and he looked at everything on the packages and said, "None". That is why I bought the "male" variety which was a dark green color as opposed to the literally PINK women's variety.

Why do women have to pay more while we earn less? Why does the MAJORITY (yes, women are 51% of the US population) get penalized in so many ways in this country????!!!!!

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) introduced legislation aimed at preventing companies from pricing similar products and services differently based on gender.

Twenty-seven of Speier's Democratic colleagues signed on to The Pink Tax Repeal Act, which would allow "the Federal Trade Commission to enforce violations and gives State Attorneys General the authority to take civil action on behalf of consumers wronged by discriminatory practices."
Women get hit with a double whammy: They make less for doing the same work and they pay more for the same product or service because it’s for women," she said in a statement. "Whether it’s a pink teddy bear, deodorant from the same manufacturer, or a white laundered shirt, it’s time to say enough! Discrimination is illegal.” Speier's introduction of the bill purposefully coincided with national Equal Pay Day.

Do you think we are in a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS right now?

I have heard very experienced and educated politicians and historians say that we ARE in a constitutional crisis currently.

Ralph Peters left the network in March after sending a blistering farewell note to some of his colleagues. The note shocked the TV news industry because he accused Fox of "assaulting our constitutional order. " He said that we ARE in a constitutional crisis NOW as have many, many others who are outright scared.

tRump thinks he can pardon himself...Tom Steyer says NO!

https://www.needtoimpeach.com/trump-pardons/
Earlier this week, Donald Trump tweeted that he has the “absolute right to pardon” himself.

His perception is not only wrong, it is completely counter to one of the core principles of our democracy—that no one, not even the president, is above the law.

My team put together a new video—take a look, and then forward this email to five of your friends and let’s spread our message further. In a 20-page memo leaked over the weekend, Trump’s legal team tries to make the argument that Trump cannot obstruct justice because he gets to determine what constitutes justice. This argument is flawed for multiple reasons, but most importantly because, despite his apparent views to the contrary, Trump is not a king.

Trump is normalizing his lawlessness, all the while claiming he’s done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. We can’t accept this from any leader. In the face of this unconstitutional behavior, we must unite and resist.

Let’s keep the pressure on, and show Trump we will hold him accountable for his defiance to our democracy.

Forward this email and encourage your friends and family to join our movement:

Thank you,
Tom Steyer

One third of the votes in San Diego are from brand new voters

a person on PBS just told the reporters. They expect more of them to be Dem than GOP. San Diego is sort of GOP due to military bases around here....depends on where you live.

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.
