Question:The camera on your device can spy on you

for what reason and by whom? I heard that I should cover the cameras on my tablet, desktop, etc with tape and have done so for years. Even Fuckerberg has done this himself. How can someone/thing use it to watch a person? Why would they want to?

They will never learn any lessons.

HATING people takes all of their time and enrgy.

Parkland students have moved onto the real work of changing laws!

They are not wasting time and have already begun going after state legislators while on Spring Recess from Congress. JOIN THEM and change the laws.

March For Our Lives TOWN HALLS April 7th.
The students and communities who support stricter gun legislation are encouraging citizens to call and arrange town halls in your district on April 7th (before they head back to DC). They organized a site with help from Town Hall Project (Town Hall For Our Lives).
These young people are getting people registered to vote and are going through the legislative process for change and on April 7, they’re calling for every member of Congress to hold a town hall.

“If your local legislator refuses to come for whatever reason, simply invite their opponent,” Hogg told us. “It's as simple as that.”

It is illegal to skip the census but is it illegal to skip a question?

If I chose to leave the citizenship question blank on the census what would happen? It is civil disobedience.

Question:Is Chris Wylie, the Cam Analytica whistle blower a hero?

He said he came finally forward as a result of the 2016 election. CA (Bannon and the Mercers) are all being considered as violating campaign laws and Mueller and his investigation are interested in speaking with Wylie too.

94% of gun violence is committed by boys/men. This is NOT "normal".

Yesterday MSNBC's Chris Jansing and Stephanie Ruhle discussed why males are the ones who are responsible for the violence and how boys and American society are to blame.




Does testosterone make you mean?

This is too little, too late Fuckerberg!

Facebook full page ads appearing in major papers in the US and England aren't even a decent apology.

"Notably, Zuckerberg’s initial Facebook post addressing the situation last Wednesday did not say he or the company was sorry. Not until his televised broadcast interview with CNN did Zuckerberg verbalize an apology, and only after days of deafening silence from Facebook’s top leadership on the subject since the Cambridge Analytica revelations came to light a little over one week ago."

The Moron said he wishes he never ran for office

and he wasn't kidding either. Someone asked him yesterday what advice he would give the 20 year old Donald. His answer was, "Don't run for president".

If he is as miserable as everyone, including himself apparently, says he is then why is he campaigning for 2020? This is mentioned as a real possibility.

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.
