He plans to remain busy and I hope we get to see a lot more of him. He's a good guy.<br /><br />We must never take our eyes off the men surrounding President Trump. He can appoint staff without senate approval. In my opinion, he's appointed two very dangerous me, Steve Bannon and General Flynn.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-84132300658539931012017-02-09T08:52:32.032-08:002017-02-09T08:52:32.032-08:00Wow, do I ever thank you for this comment.

They can suddenly do things again that they were not allowed to do while holding those positions. I heard that Joe Biden couldn't wait to be able to drive again. <br />Bannon is getting a lot of publicity.

(Sorry, sarcastic -- I am working on it)<br /><br />The Tweeter in Chief seems to have so much trouble with his non-majority win, but as far as I know no one voted for Bannon. Yet, here is is taking on the role of president with no mandate whatsoever. ("No puppet, no puppet, you're the puppet.") How I wish I could get those words out of my head.<br /><br />I marched and last Saturday I went to a seminar, "Make Democracy Legal Again." It was focused on a constitutional amendment -- Currently House Joint Resolution 48 -- which seeks to both get big corporate money influence out of politics and declare the nonpersonhood of corporations. You tube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2-q-RBiWhk<br /><br />While that was the focus, in small group discussions, we discussed the need to stay focused. One way to do that and keep momentum going would be for everyone to pick the cause most important to them and find an organization that is working to achieve that particular outcome. I had, for a long time, made all my $$ contributions to Planned Parenthood. With so many areas of life under threat right now, it is not difficult to find a cause.

The difference in the two men is stark. Obama is an optimist, the encourager, the comforter, calm, a thinker, cautious, and respectful. Trump is a pessimist, full of anger and wants to fight somebody all the time and he seeks revenge. Bannon is frightening. I have to keep telling myself there will be a way to save the country from this man. It seems unlikely Republican senators will do anything. With Sessions ias AG he would try to block any efforts by the Justice Department. In 2018 if Democrats win back the House it will be helpful. Right now Democrats can't do a thing, nothing. We must work hard to get out the vote in 2018.

He appears to have sores near his hairline. The red nose is a mystery but worthy of noting. I keep watching to see if any explanation appears anywhere but haven't seen anything.<br /><br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-76963625931522727822017-02-08T14:56:32.212-08:002017-02-08T14:56:32.212-08:00I love that Obama is getting a relaxing vacation. ...I love that Obama is getting a relaxing vacation. He deserves it because he's going to be busy when it's over and we can have him back into public life....sort of.<br /><br />I don't get the redness on Bannon's nose. Does he really look like that and if not are they trying to suggest he's doing coke? Either way he's a scary guy. I hope Saturday Night Live keeps on suggesting that he's really running the White House because that will rub the wrong way with #45.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.com
