All Veterans

Armistice Day is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France at 5:45 am, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. But, according to Thomas R. Gowenlock, an intelligence officer with the US First Division, shelling from both sides continued for the rest of the day, only ending at nightfall.^[1][2] The armistice initially expired after a period of 36 days. A formal peace agreement was only reached when the Treaty of Versailles was signed the following year

Ceasefire.
I received a snotty reply on Twitter from an Australian on Veterans Day.
It was from something I tweeted in early December 2017.
Walter Tremayne-- "But if you don't have wars you don't get veterans."
Dare to dream, Walter, dare to dream.

Meanwhile, Trump is a weak asshole trying to dismantle the allegiance we have with Europe.

What's goin' on?

New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait says Mueller’s investigation is in "mortal danger." E.J. Dionne Jr. of the Washington Post says the campaign to fire Mueller is pushing us "closer to the precipice" of lawlessness. 
-from this article

Make sure you know your protest spot if Mueller is fired.  If he's fired before 2pm the protest is at 5pm; if he's fired after 2pm we meet the next day at noon.  High noon.
I can't believe I have to tell my husband that we have to do this if Mueller is fired.  I can't believe I have to take my kids to protest against the dictatorship of Donald Trump.  But here it is.  So be it.  The fight continues.

Why did NPR call the MBS power grab in Saudi Arabia an economic restructuring?  Why don't they ever say that this purge started right after Jared Kushner took an unannounced trip and stayed up late with MBS?  Jared's idea for peace in the Middle East?  Why do NPR hosts nervously laugh about the terrible Trump things?  I say it all the time now, but they want normal so bad.  You know what?  It's okay to be outraged.

What are Cuties?  Depending on the season they are either Clementine mandarins or Murcott mandarins.  Clementine are a hybrid between a mandarin and sweet orange.  Murcott are the same, also called a tangor which is also called a temple orange.  A tangerine is a closely related or probable type of mandarin.

Well, show us your tax returns.  Our Jimmy Carter had to sell his beloved peanut farm.  Sell your shit and escort your children/business partners out of our White House.  You don't want to follow the rules, but you want your rules to be followed.  This is typical, spoiled brat dictator bullshit.  It has to stop.  The men and women who have been chosen by the government of the people to be our voice need to speak out against this and a whole slew of other things:

Racism

Sexism

Election Fraud

Russian influence

Cabinet elections

Conflicts of interest 

Nepotism

Kleptocracy

Fascism

Dictatorship

STOP THIS NOW
