trumpy dumpy.

I sent a tweet to @bpshow.

organizations?

I tweeted to those 2 also. I hope we keep encouraging people to keep their voices in other places besides DU!

The resistance!

Details details details

...now that's really funny.

Thanks. I posted the same basic message on 3 other threads and got nothing.

laughing their asses off because of them.

I laugh at a lot of posts but I usually don't say anything. Maybe because it is not the thread topic. I don't know.

I thought it was really funny too!

I've been here a while. It's all a matter of hitting at the right time.

under-appreciated!

behind closed doors and next time they just wont tell you

...and we blew their doors off.

Now, on to the ACA.

gonna revisit this

yelling stops

...or any other legislation.

They tried to sneak it in and failed miserably. The cynicism over this, and speculation that republicans will just get more clever in the future, doesn't jibe with the arrogant bungling we just witnessed.

I frankly can't understand why they'd bother, it's not as though the Ethics Committee actually does anything. Which makes me wonder if this was a catspaw for something else.

But the arrogance of ignorance cannot be ruled out.

who are disabled and people who are poor, people who have less of a voice. They are going after that quietly and first. We have to clobber them over that nonsense.

All fuckers who vote for cutting taxes for billionaires by ditching services for disabled children should be stalked and their actions publicized and they should be shown no mercy.

We need to be screaming this from the rooftops.

We have so many here, and obviously the vast majority of us agree about SS, ACA, Medicare, Medicaid. We should be identifying any Dems who look like they might help Republicans on any of those issues, and we should be inundating them with letters, emails, texts, tweets, facebook, etc.

Then every one of us should be contacting Congress people from multiple states, not just our own, to let the Republicans know the barbarians are at their gates, and their actions are not going unnoticed. If each of us here took 10 states and spent a half hour for 10 days to contact each representative on each of those ten states, we'd have tens of thousands of contacts to each of those reps.

I'm going to try some posts to stir up this kind of activity.

Thanks!

Many of them are your own constituents, you fucking halfwit, and it's time you pay a little attention to all those little people you don't think are smart enough to do anything they're not told to do. You decided you could get free access to the cookie jar if you just shot Mom. Well, a lot of people out there of all political stripes just told you that is wrong.

Diversion? What diversion? Russia? Oh, that's nothing.... North Korea, China? No big deal. Look! Look! See how Orange Julius Caesar respects our democracy and how responsive our elected representatives are. Give me an effing break.

no fucking way did they make this up as a diversion

What do you see as being the difference?

because they are drunk on power, corrupt and dumber than fuck......there was a lot of anger, resulting in lots of calls from constituents that made them back off - Trump, knowing this, gets on Twitter and acts like he is the savior, but is slimy enough not to TRASH the action, but just to say THIS ISN'T THE TIME, so it looks like HE IS IN CONTROL RIGHT NOW, when of course the action will be taken at a later time......his idiotic, cult-like fans EAT IT UP because they are EASILY FOOLED.....heck, their belief in propaganda is what made them VOTE for him

is capable of "knowing" something.

in the sense that AFTER the flak, some advisor told him to say something

Seriously, Donald is an extremely ethically-challenged asshole - he doesn't care about ANYTHING regarding ethics, so we may both be correct

and weighs twenty-two pounds. His name is "Skittles."

he passed away on my fifth anniversary on DU

yes, I named him after the candy

no matter how much they deny it. hell, i wouldnt know what their mandate would even be. voters are fine w cheeto throwing all his election promises overboard.

they will be uniquely susceptible to public pressure.
he who lives by the tweet dies by the tweet.

harrying the congress and frightening them with our numbers.

I'm so glad to see this.

No backing down.

Because of your posts yesterday, I wrote my congress-critter! ( I emailed because someone posted that all over Washington, the voice-mail boxes were full.)

you know they will try again..............

I can't see d.ump taking the side of ethics any time, ever. But if this is all a stunt stage-managed by the teabaggers to make d.ump look like he's in charge, it all makes sense.

and of course his family.

But this is how it's done. Even Republicans in Congress can't ignore a flood of calls, emails, tweets, social media postings, etc.

RESIST!

Thanks!

See how trump is keeping the GOP in check?

Hopefully most Americans will wake up during the next 4 years, as Trump and his goons will do everything within their power to undermine our country's democratic institutions.

The last time people were this interested in politics and the news was 1973.

been hearing m$m is giving credit to dump tweets.

All tweeters should tweet the stations like riversedge and flood them with clues.

Thank you for this excellent OP, bigtree~ It is an brilliant example of activism in action!

I wouldn't be surprised if trump handlers saw the outcry and decided he should get in on it and look like some kind of idiot hero.

He is putting together a team to report on what they're up to:

www.dcreport.org

looks like a great resource which will cut through the BS and let us know ahead of time what sh*t they will try to get away with so that we can spring into action

DCJ is a very smart guy who literally wrote the book on Trump recently and is immune to the con.
