Tell Trump and Putin NO!

Trump IS Putin. Putin IS Trump. And Elon? He’s the ketamine-challenged billionaire-baby who bought himself a nation.

Trump has made the United States the bully of the world. And the only way to deal with a bully is to apply opposing EQUAL force. If we are to stay with the current world order (where NATO stands), Putin must be stopped and forced to leave Ukraine.

The alternative is a new world order where Russia, China, Israel, the Saudis and North Korea—with the help of the United States–dominate. The atrocities these countries subject their people to are horrendous. There are no individual rights: black and brown people–anyone who is not white–suffer, women suffer, the poor suffer (sorry, your whiteness won’t save you here). A reality where LGBTQ people are heckled and scorned, where everyone is required to believe whatever religious bull-crap the supreme leader spews: he is “the chosen one.”*

*Author’s note: Ridiculous. Just nonsense. He’s delusional, playing a character on a tv show. We’re being told the sheeple love it, but not so much. Trump voters are feeling the sting already.

Come on, think! Why is Trump aligning us with Russia and all the authoritarians?

Trump’s God is POWER. MONEY + CONTROL = POWER. Those driving forces are driving Trump, and Putin, and Elon, and Bibi, and his lover Kim jong un…

WE must tell Trump, Putin, Musk et al. NO.

NO, he cannot give Ukraine to Russia and divvy up their resources.

NO, he cannot buy Greenland. IT’S NOT FOR SALE.

NO, he cannot take the Panama Canal! ffs!

NO, he cannot join Netanyahu in destroying and then re-colonizing Gaza.

NO, he cannot bully Canada—our closest trading partner, ally–friends up north!–into becoming a state.

Who will stop this madman?

Europe is stepping up. They know Ukraine is essential to a free world. And the American people must also step up! NO, Trump does not have a mandate and he DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS!

It’s going to take all of us who still believe in Democracy and individual freedoms to take action: call our congressmen and women, boycott big-money corporations, challenge the “news” sources, continue to speak up—and march in the streets!

Stay informed, people. Find ways to resist. Join the marches and protests. Refuse to look away. Fight for your rights, our rights. Fight for America. Fight for the people of the world! Fight for the planet.

Tell Trump NO.

Hell NO.

F NO.

Not on my watch.

202 224-3121 Call the capitol switchboard NOW!

Trump and Musk are destroying US government institutions.

Steve Bannon calls it “the deconstruction of the administrative state.” Elon Musk and Donald Trump call it an opportunity to fleece the sheeple. But, make no mistake, Trump and Musk are overseeing the destruction of the institutions and laws that make the United States who we are.

We’ll see if the judiciary holds. If not, Musk and Putin have successfully bought themselves a president, and a country. Who will stop them?

There’s still hope. Remember: Three equal parts of government.

  1. Legislative: makes the law
  2. Executive: enforces the law
  3. Judicial: interprets the law

We the people can impact it. Resist. Resist Trump and Musk’s takeover.

Need a Christmas or holiday gift? Buy and give Penzeys Spices and help save Democracy! I kid you not.

Penzeys Spices is doing more than manufacturing and providing tasty, quality seasonings, they are sharing their positive, inclusive, hopeful message on social media. In addition, they are actively buying Facebook ads to help combat the onslaught of Trump’s lies. So far, Penzeys has invested around $100,000 on Facebook ads. That may seem like a lot, but compared to the $1 MILLION/week Trump is spending to poison our minds, it’s barely a pinch.

All of my family and friends are getting mini box sets because a large portion of the proceeds are going to fight Trump. My favorites are the Soul, Kind, and Vote gift boxes. Just read the description for the Soul Box and I’m sure you’ll agree, Penzeys spices are good for heart, mind, body, and spirit.

Buy Penzeys Spices!

Once you do your holiday shopping at penzeys.com, go follow Penzeys on Facebook and the other social platforms. They often write about the damage Donald Trump is doing to the planet and its people. They often call out the injustices of the Trump Administration and they’re asking us to get involved.

If all companies were as conscientious as Penzeys, the world would be a much better place. Unfortunately, the all mighty dollar is what drives most companies. Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook I’m talking about you! Therefore, we MUST support the companies that call out the cruelty and criminality of Donald Trump, and Penzeys does that. 

And, in the meantime, while they fight against social injustices, Penzeys encourages each of us to do what we can to fix our own small worlds. For many of us, that starts at home, over dinner. Show your family how much you care. Spice up their lives with Penzeys Spices.

Zuckerberg helps Trump lie, cheat, and steal another election.

Donald Trump is bombarding us with lies on Facebook.

Trump’s campaign is spending over $1 million each week in Facebook ads FALSELY stating that fact-checked, debunked conspiracy theories are indeed true. His base is eating it up, using Trump’s hatred to fuel their own.

There are lies about immigrant caravans, lies about Democrats wanting to take your guns, lies about Russia’s role in electing Trump, and most recently lies about Ukraine, Joe Biden’s son, and impeachment.

What is Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook doing to combat Trump’s efforts to use them as a willing foil? A tool? HELPING, that’s what. Facebook has CHANGED their third-party, fact-checking policies to state politicians are the ONLY ones that can OPENLY LIE on their platform. I can’t lie on Facebook. You can’t lie on Facebook. The companies we represent cannot lie on Facebook. But politicians are different, says Zuckerberg and his Trump-loving head of global elections policy, Katie Harbath—who, by the way, was Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani’s Deputy eCampaign Director from Feb 2007 -Jan 2008. Oh, and she was Chief Digital Strategist for the National Republican Senatorial Committee from Aug 2009 – March 2011. Yeah, now tell me this new policy ISN’T about getting Trump re-elected.

According to Julia Wong, a Guardian US technology reporter, “Trump’s Facebook page has launched 5,883 different ads since news of the Ukraine-call whistleblower broke on 18 September, 40% of which mention impeachment, according to a Guardian analysis of the Facebook political ad archive. The Trump campaign has spent between $1.3m and $3.8m promoting the impeachment ads, which had been viewed between 36.5m and 43.9m times, as of Wednesday. (The ad archive reports spending and impression data as a range.)” Clarification: Wednesday, October 9 equals 3 weeks of running ads.

Trumped-up Charges

Trump’s 30-second impeachment ad, with millions of views, WRONGLY edits together visuals and narrative implying then VP Joe Biden “promised Ukraine a billion dollars if they fired the prosecutor investigating his son’s company.” News stations have refused to air the ad due to out-right manipulation of the facts.

Lies repeated again and again are believed. According to Wired.com,
“Facts don’t actually matter: People repeat them (lies) so often that you believe them. Welcome to the “illusory truth effect,” a glitch in the human psyche that equates repetition with truth.” Wired further points out, “Marketers and politicians are masters of manipulating this particular cognitive bias—which perhaps you have become more familiar with lately.” And Trump is mostly targeting older, white women—the demographic that helped him win in 2016. The ones who don’t mind he’s an adulterer and brags about grabbing women by their _______. Well, you know what he said.

Facebook users must be diligent. Don’t be fooled by Trump’s constant barrage of garrbage. You are being exposed to his garbage daily thanks to Facebook. According to Market Watch, “Trump’s campaign has spent more than $21 million on those two platforms since the 2018 midterm elections.” They were referring to Facebook and Google. Here’s Trump’s ad spend on Facebook Dec 2018 through March 2019 BEFORE he ratcheted-up the impeachment ads. If this doesn’t scare the crap out of you, what will? Facebook users are being brainwashed.

Russian money helps Trump spout LIES of Facebook.

Elizabeth Warren calls out Zuck

Elizabeth Warren, who Zuckerberg FEARS because of her intent to regulate Facebook should she become President, is turning things back on Facebook. This is her post regarding Facebook’s negligence in the 2016 election and pointed assist in Trump’s 2020 presidential run.

Trump is a Russian Asset. Zuckerberg is a Russian Tool.

If you agree with Warren, sign her petition now.

Facebook has an obligation: to be neutral, but they are not. They are clearly helping divide this country by hiding behind 1st Amendment rights of protected, free speech. Facebook says people should be exposed to all information and make their own decisions, but the constant deluge of LIES is being believed. Facebook could simply fact-check the politicians LIKE THEY DO WITH EVERYONE ELSE. Instead, Facebook is clearly selling out Democracy for the dollars and rubles.

Enjoy your fame and fortune, Mr. Zuckerberg, as you help Trump continue to crap on the Constitution, imprison brown kids, and allow the Kurds to be slaughtered. You truly do suck, Zuck. #FFacebook

I’m Out and Proud!  a #TrumpBuster

I, Lindee Brauer, aka Lima Bravo, as one citizen of the United States, I humbly call for the resignation of Donald J Trump, leader of the angry, fearful and hopeless.

Trump’s terrifying vision for the United States was on display at the State of the Union address, and it continues to play out daily in terms of destructive and abrasive policies. Let the media hash-out what Trump said, separate fact from fiction, what they think is worth mentioning. As for me?

Here’s what Trump DIDN’T talk about:

  • The thousands of kids he has in cages!
  • Preventing another Trump government shutdown!
  • The National Butterfly Center in Texas, the land he is fixin’ to bulldoze down to build a wall the size of his ego.
  • PEOPLE WHO WERE MURDERED and/or affected by GUN VIOLENCE, including the kids from Parkland. #ParklandStrong #WithYouFred and other folks
  • Climate change and its threat to our survival.
  • The 1.5 TRILLION DOLLAR US deficit.
  • How he was plotting to build Trump Tower Moscow through-out his entire campaign and how he’s Putin’s bitch.

Let’s talk about the things Trump didn’t mention. #RussianAsset

More to come…

The word of the day is Patience.

For a cute reminder of the letter-of-the-day, watch Sesame Street’s tribute to the letter “P.”  Believe me, you’ll need patience to deal with today’s political scene. Especially Donald Trump.

The P word I want to focus on is Patience. Why? Because everyone wants it and I have it. At least in this moment I have it. It comes and goes; it’s fleeting, like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the quicker it leaves.

How is it I have it? Because “All things in God’s time.” That’s the Christian version. The Wiccan version: “As above so below.” New Agers would say: “All is well in all of creation.” The uncommitted might say “It is what it is.”

I have to believe everything is as it should be, because the alternative approach—to not believe–is living in fear.

Right now, Donald Trump is ravishing our nation. His reality-show presidential bid is getting exactly what he wants—ratings! He wants to win at all costs. But what he believes is repugnant. Disgusting, to use his favorite word. What he believes, his ideas for the nation, will cause calamity. He’ll put a target on our back.

We’ll be living in fear. A world where Trump is going to build our military and use it as a threat over other nations, leverage for when he needs to negotiate hard. He wants to go back to religious persecution. He points his fat fingers at people and says they are ISIS. He’s making this up as he goes. It’s like watching a WWF Smack-down match.

I’d say he’s a pig, but that’d be insulting to the pig. He’s a racist, a troll, a thug, and ironically exactly the opposite of what he wants to be. This man is a loser.

Trump is inciting violence. He brags that he could shoot someone and people would still love him. His rhetoric is so disturbing, calling people that don’t believe what he believes “bad.” So anyone who opposes what Trump thinks is “bad, a very bad person.” He says he’s a “unifier,” but his “us against them” mentality is empowering people to strike out. His crowd is turning ugly. As ugly as he is.

How do I know that Trump creates hate? Because his fans hate others. And because I hate him.

I don’t hate very often. I’m smarter, bigger, and better than that. I listen, I accept, and I believe we can all get along. We all come to this universal truth in our own time. Some never get to that understanding. Trump supporters obviously are not there. Neither is Trump.

That means I have to have patience, and belief, that people will come around; they’ll come to see, hear, and understand the maliciousness in his speech, his words. If they continue to watch him, hopefully they’ll see through the celebrity and see the monster.

President Obama says he’s not worried, he has faith; faith in the American people, that they won’t elect Trump. We’re smarter and better than that, Obama says. I choose to believe the same, and have patience that the American people will envision a better world than the one Trump presents. That people will act better than to follow Trump’s encouragement–to beat up those that don’t stand with him.

As I watch his nasty hate-filled face plastered on the TV, I choose to turn the channel, and watch Sesame Street, where P is the letter and Patience is the word.

And believe that “All is well in all of creation” if I just have Patience.

And that’s the word of the day. Patience.
