44. I like LLBean products

Jan 2017

Right now, for that tweet to come from the Orange One's fingers was more than I could stand.
I sent one of my, "the pussy grabber will never be my president" post cards I keep at the ready.

I think we're all so very angry at what's going on that we're looking for a way to hit someone/something.

We need to get organized, which is what we're doing on DU. We need to find a way to strike out at this terrible, horrible, awful, man who somehow (with the help of Russia and lies) got into office.

Poor LLBean, looks like they got in the target zone.

They need to dismiss Linda from the board or publicly censure her or call her out. What she did was illegal. They have a right to chastise her. They need to. On the other hand, it looks like lots of Republicans have asked for catalogs, so they'll be busy. I hope they choose to stand up and say, our relative did something illegal and because of that we have removed her from the board/ or if they can't remove her, they can ask her to step aside--publicly. Not because of her politics, but because what she did was illegal.
