The Resistance

[bobabode]

Matt Gaetz and his kkklowns are marching in West Hollywood this Sunday.

"West Hollywood officials are distancing themselves from a planned march Sunday by a conservative political group.

The “American Restoration Tour” event is being organized by the #WalkAway campaign, a social-media campaign that was launched by New York hairstylist Brandon Straka ahead of the 2018 mid-term elections, with the stated purpose of encouraging voters to leave the Democratic Party.

The march will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday at the corner of North Robertson and Santa Monica boulevards. Marchers will arrive at Beverly Gardens Park in Beverly Hills for a rally set for 2 p.m.

According to a flyer posted online by the #WalkAway campaign, speakers at the rally will include Straka, former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, former California state Senate candidate Joe Lisuzzo, singer Cherie Currie, comedian Josh Denny, actresses Shiva Bagheri and Roxanne Hoge, podcaster Jeff Dornik, YouTuber Gothix, actor and commentator Mike Harlow, political commentators Natalie Beisner, Emily Wilson and Jairo Tomico, and Karen Siegemund of the Beverly Hills Conservative Club."

Yawn, indeed!

That should be interesting. Maybe the HANDS OFF people can show up to laugh them out of town?

[RickeyM]

Speaking of HANDS OFF, the next get together is scheduled for 5/1 at a location near you. Participate if you can. Become part of history. If necessary, get in some "good trouble"

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

There's more, but you get the idea.

HCR reprinted the text of the Pritzker speech, apparently in its entirety. Good read -- he seems to be firing on all 8:

Not all of it, but great speech! "Democrats should go large or go home" would be the theme. Strongly urged full-scale resistance!

[RickeyM]

Time for prominent Democrats to join, to even start leading protests. I'm deliberately not saying Democratic leadership because the leadership has gone missing. History favors the bold.

Just when you think you couldn’t love Tommy Lee anymore he delivers this bit of solid Gold. ��

"An Open Letter to the president"
From the Drummer of Mötley Crüe, Tommy Lee

Dear Fucking Lunatic,

At your recent press conference - more a word salad that had a stroke and fell down stairs, you were CLEARLY so out of your depth you needed scuba gear. Within minutes of going off air your minions were backpedaling faster than Cirque De Soliel acrobats... In India a week ago, i couldn’t get past the bit about your being the most popular visitor in the history of fucking india — a country of a BILLION human souls that’s only 3000 years old, give or take.!!! Trust me - Gandhi pulled CROWDS.. You pulled a cricket stadium and half WALKED out...

Do you know how fucking insane you sound, you off-brand butt plug? That's like the geopolitical equivalent of “that stripper really likes me” — only 10,000 times crazier and less self aware.

You are fucking exhausting. Every day is a natural experiment in determining how long 300 million people can resist coring out their own assholes with an ice auger. Every time I hear a snippet of your Queens-tinged banshee larynx farts, I want to scream!

We are fucking tired. As bad as we all thought your presidency would be when Putin got you elected, it’s been inestimably worse.

You called a hostile, nuclear-armed head of state “short and fat.” How the fuck does that help?

You accused a woman — a former friend, no less — of showing up at your resort bleeding from the face and begging to get in. You, you, YOU — the guy who looks like a Christmas haggis inexplicably brought to life by Frosty’s magic hat — yes, you of all people said that.
You attempted — with evident fucking glee — to get 24 million people thrown off their health insurance.

You gave billions away to corporations and the already wealthy while simultaneously telling struggling poor people that you were doing exactly the opposite.

You endorsed a pedophile, praised brutal dictators, and defended LITERAL FUCKING NAZIS!

Ninety-nine percent of everything you say is either false, crazy, incoherent, just plain cruel, or a rancid paella of all four.

Oh, by the way, Puerto Rico is still FUBAR. You got yourself and your family billions in tax breaks for Christmas. What do they get? More paper towels?

Enough, enough, enough, enough! For the love of God and all that is holy, good, and pure, would you please, finally and forever, shut your feculent KFC-hole until you have something valuable — or even marginally civil — to say?

You are a fried dick sandwich with a side of schlongs. If chlamydia and gonorrhea had a son, you’d appoint him HHS secretary. You are a disgraceful, pustulant hot stew full of casuistry, godawful ideas, unintelligible non sequiturs, and malignant rage.

You are the perfect circus orangutan diaper from Plato’s World of Forms.

So fuck you Mr. President. And fuck you forever.

Oh, and Vance, you oleaginous house ferret. Fuck you, too. You'll be as useful as a chocolate teapot against a medical crisis you Bible thumping cock socket loser!!!!
