Call your reps tomorrow, before they go on Aug Recess.

Tell them what you want them to do, no DEMAND it! They were basically telling us today that we all need to do this and do it NOW! Call more than once and tell everyone you know to do the same!

RESIST! Persist! Peace.

Putin and his Russian news anchors are THRILLED!

They said, "See...Mueller said it was all BS. tRump is not a criminal and we did nothing in the election and Mueller just said so". This was after both testimonies too. I guess the Racist Rapist is glad that his boss is relieved and can go on to steal the next election as well.

Two horses die from colliding at the Del Mar Racetrack.

"In an accident as bizarre as it was tragic, two thoroughbreds lost their lives Thursday morning during training on the second day of the Del Mar racing season." About 6:40 a.m., two unraced colts had such a violent collision that both died almost instantly on the track of broken necks, according to Dr. Rick Arthur, equine medical director of the California Horse Racing Board."

"As unusual as this accident was, it would still be largely unnoticed by the public. But, after 30 equine fatalities at Santa Anita this past meeting, public perception of the sport and the safety of the horses have become national issues."

In 1984 on this date 21 people were murdered in San Ysidro/San Diego area.

This was the 7th worst mass shooting in US history. A man with life long mental health problems and a life long love of guns killed 21 and injured as many before being killed by the police 77 minutes after he began what he said was, "hunting humans".

A few years earlier a high school girl who also liked guns and just got one as a Christmas gift fired on the school across the street, killing two. She did it because she "didn't like Mondays".

Why is this getting worse and not better? Americans love their guns, some love their guns more than people.

Rep Al Green files articles of impeachment against Trump, setting up

floor vote.

"What do you do when the leader of the free world is a racist?" Green said. He continued: "These two things are not mutually exclusive, we can do this — condemn for the comments who have been made — and we can do this, impeach for the harm that the comments have done."

"A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that enthusiasm for impeachment may be waning: The July survey found 21 percent of registered voters say that there is enough evidence for Congress to begin impeachment hearings now. In June, 27 percent in the poll the same thing, a 6-point drop in one month — though that survey was of Americans, not registered voters."

"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on Tuesday that he believed the House to be considering impeachment in terms of "the kinds of things that President Trump has done in terms of obstructing justice," not his attacks on the so-called squad of female lawmakers of color."

Is his "racist" comment a DISTRACTION from Epstein?

Was this his plan? Will he order more ICE raids the day Mueller testifies?

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.
