19. Because there's no large-scale public uproar.
Fri Jun 28, 2019, 05:23 PM
Jun 2019

A couple of generations ago, I was part of a large protest movement that helped bring a stupid, pointless war to an early conclusion. The anti-Vietnam war movement was certainly not without its flaws and excesses, but without it, that memorial wall in D.C. would be a hell of a lot larger than it is today.

trump and his scumbag administration are breezing along, without much of anything in the way of meaningful public outcry. He's planning on hijacking the July 4 celebration in D.C. and making it all about himself. If there's any sort of large-scale counter-demonstration against his little vanity show, I have yet to hear about it.

Until we take some decisive action, we're at the mercy of the worst president this country has ever suffered under. Our elected officials aren't getting the job done, they're too busy concentrating on how NOT begin impeachment proceedings. Anybody else sick to death of this shit?
