Trump's "Tender-age Prisons

6/27/2018

0 Comments

 

Families ripped apart and children put in cages, which the Trump administration calls “Tender age prisons.” 

A new federal court ruling effectively states that undocumented minors are not entitled to legal representation in court. In practice, this means that even a toddler could be forced to appear before an immigration judge to argue his or her case for legal status and to avoid deportation.

A three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit recently ruled on the case of a Honduran teenager named CJ. CJ fled to the U.S. when he was 13 after facing violent threats for refusing to join a local gang. As such, he sought asylum status. Unfortunately, he had no legal representation and was unable to effectively argue his case and faces deportation to Honduras. This most recent ruling states that this outcome is perfectly legal and that CJ had no right to an appointed lawyer.

Coupled with Trump's heartless "zero tolerance" immigration policy, this ruling means that many thousands of undocumented youths face the prospect of deportation to deadly environments after a farcical trial. 

The Ninth Circuit Court, with its decision, has demonstrated an inability to provide justice and compassion for some of the most vulnerable individuals in the United States.

The stinky mess that Donald Trump has created at the Mexican border is getting worse every day.

The president and his drudges — Jeff Sessions and Kirstjen Nielsen — have put into effect new policies and programs designed to impose the maximum pain possible on people attempting to enter the United States.

They started with their zero tolerance policy in April which said every adult coming into the U.S. without proper documentation had to be arrested.  After that came the logical next step: any arrested adult accompanied by minor children would have those children forcibly taken away from them and put in child detention facilities.

Zero tolerance combined with child separation is a nightmare, and the subsequent outcry came from everywhere, including the Pope, the United Nations, Republicans in Congress and even the evangelical leaders of the pro-Trump Religious Right.

After Trump issued an executive order supposedly ending child separations, many people realized that in some ways he’d just made things more confusing because:
Trump’s executive order had exceptions allowing child separations to continue
“The order signed by Trump calls for those families to be detained together but it permits separation if deemed that detention with a parent “would pose a risk to the child’s welfare.” Family unity is the policy “where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources,” the order said.”

Without child separations the children would accompany their parents to jail, which would be illegal.

For several decades it has been prohibited for the federal government to keep children incarcerated with their parents for more than 20 days. And now, even while Trump administration lawyers are trying to get this rule overturned in federal court, complicit Republicans in Congress are trying to get the law changed to allow the children to be kept in jail longer.

“GOP lawmakers are readying an immigration bill that would allow detained migrant children to stay in detention centers with their parents for more than 20 days”

One reason the mess made by Trump, Sessions and Nielsen is getting worse is that all of the child detention camps are full.  They are also running out of space to keep all of the adults they are arresting under the zero tolerance policy.

On top of that, it has been widely reported that there is no plan in place to return the separated children to their families.  This means that Trump’s program may result in permanent separations, which is an unbelievably cruel and heartless way to try to solve America’s immigration issues.

Republicans know they have a huge problem with many dimensions.  They are facing condemnation from every quarter. They are losing the support of many of their voters.  They have legal issues and potentially massive lawsuits against them.

A federal judge ruled that U.S. immigration agents could no longer separate immigrant parents and children caught crossing the border from Mexico illegally, and must work to reunite those families that had been split up in custody.

United States District Court Judge Dana Sabraw granted the American Civil Liberties Union a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed over the family separations, but who knows if the ruling will be enforced or upheld?

Opposition is growing
 
Conservative columnist George Will is hoping President Donald Trump’s horrifying zero-tolerance policy on the border that led to the separation of thousands of kids from their parents will be the last straw for many people planning to vote Republican in the 2018 midterms.
 
Democratic Senator Kamala Harris of California has accused the Trump Administration of committing “crimes against humanity” because of the treatment being received by mothers and their children at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Standing up to Trump
How do we stop Trump’s racists attacks on immigrants at the border, and how do force Congress to give Trump the impeachment he deserves?

We launch a Call-In against one branch of Bank of America in one city to disrupt business, cost them money, make the news, and go viral. We start locally and turn it into a Global Phone Protest against Bank of America in the U.S. and their stock brokers Merrill Edge in most major cities around the globe. We put business at Bank of America on hold, and we put Congress on trial.
 
We place economic sanctions on Bank of America until Congress meets our demands… or Congress loses Bank of America- one of the five big banks on Wall Street.
 
CALL-IN: Call Bank of America and occupy their phones. Put their business on hold and send a message to Congress. Congress will meet our demands… or Congress could lose Bank of America. Occupy and interrupt business.
 
DIE-IN: Lie down inside the nearest branch of Bank of America make yourself comfortable. Take up floor space. Line up in front so customers must wait for hours to get into the bank.
 
SOCIAL NETWORK:  Get on your smartphone, go viral, and bring enough protesters to the phones to put business at Bank of America on hold.
 
OCCUPY THE PHONES IN SOLIDARITY: Starting in Fresno, we can Occupy the Phones: we can start a protest by phone that snowballs and buries Bank of America under an avalanche of phone calls. It’s only a matter of time until stockholders panic and start dumping their stock and depositors want they money back and start a run on the bank.
 
Trial by fire
 
Force Congress to save the children and impeach the President… just to save Bank of America from going under.
 
·            Congress will Save the Dreamers, pass comprehensive immigration laws that are humane, protect Human Rights and offer safe guards for our immigrant workforce that provides the labor to keeps our agriculture and food industry the most productive in the world.
·            Congress will pass common-sense gun control.
·            Congress will abort the trillion-dollar tax cut for the 1% and increase taxes on the rich and their mega-rich corporations.
·            Congress will protect the Trump-Russia investigation.
·            Congress will impeach Trump.
 
Put Congress on trial. Congress can risk losing Bank of America/Merrill Edge and face a financial melt-down on Wall Street… or Congress can meet our demands and bow to the will of the People. It’s their choice.

Constitutional Crisis Ready to Erupt

6/14/2018

0 Comments

 
Living under the Trump regime is like being trapped in Hawaii. There are problems in paradise. Red hot lava is seeping through the cracks. You can smell the smoke, feel the heat and hear the ground rumbling; everyone knows a crisis is about to erupt in Washington. 
 
President Trump is under investigation and his corruption and crimes are pushing to the surface like slow moving molten lava.
 
Special counsel Robert Muller is investigating Trump for a long and growing list of crimes that include- but are not limited to- conspiring with Russian to rig the election and committing treason in the act.

The nation has not been in this much political turmoil and this deeply divided since the Civil War. Trump is the Grand Wizard of White Nationalism. He is stirring up racial divisions while handing the wealth of the nation over to the wealthiest 1% on a silver platter. He is attacking our democratic institutions at home and undermining our leadership abroad.
 
Trump supporters, his cult followers don’t care how criminal… even treasonous he is. They hate our government and are willing to support a dictator to destroy it. They want to make America White Again. As long as them are in control of our government, they don’t care about getting to the truth. They want the Muller investigation shut down so they stay in control.

On the other side, the resistance is growing and the outrage against Trump and Trump Republicans is building across the nation.
 
Liberals believe there is room for us all. America is a democracy not a Third World dictatorship. We’re not about to bow down to a ruthless dictator, his lordship, the King of America, a monarch with absolute authority over his subjects, and we are not about to tolerate a Congress full of Trump Republicans taking bribes from the rich to  give the rich obscene tax breaks at the expense of the American people.
 
Trump’s incessant lies, his criminality, his autocratic control of government are becoming more outrageous and dangerous daily not just in America but to the world.
 
The Constitutional Crisis. 
 
Trump is guilty, the only question is depth of his depravity. The only way he survives is to fire the special counsel and bury the investigation; and the only way he does that is to assume the powers of a dictator with absolute authority who is above the law… which is not something most Americans will abide even moderate Republicans.
 
The president and his TV attorney Rudy Giuliani are viciously attacking the credibility of the FBI and Mueller investigation calling it a “witch hunt”, a plot but the Democrats to get him. Vice President Mike Pence tells special counsel Robert Mueller 'to wrap it up'.
 
We’re waiting for Trump to end the Trump-Russia investigation. We’re standing on a volcano of public rage on both sides ready to erupt in the streets.
 
We’re already in a constitutional crisis.
 
For a year and a half, the president Trump has been carrying out a systemic attack on the institutions of our democracy.
 
A constitutional crisis becomes especially dangerous when a president of the United States attacks the FBI and undermines their investigation of him calling it a ‘witch hunt”.
 
We have a Constitution that is meant to protect us against the president’s abuse of power.
 
We have the separation of powers in our government, we have checks and balances, we have the rule of law; but all of this has broken down with Trump in the White House and Trump Republicans in control of Congress. 
 
The founding fathers built a system of government based on checks and balances and the separation of powers; but these measures don’t work when we have Trump and Trump Republicans in control of the presidency and both houses of Congress.
 
The subservience of Republicans in Congress to Trump is what makes him so dangerous. Under Trump, there is no separation of powers, there are no checks and balances. Trump is above the law… as long as Republicans in Congress enable him.
 
Our system of government was designed to constrain the power of those in office, but that is not working with Trump in the White House and Trump loyalists in Congress. Republicans in Congress tolerate Trump to advance their conservative agenda no matter how corrupt his is.
 
Our system of government was conceived as a means of promoting the public good. Trump is a Russian styled despot, a dictator who promotes his own interest, the interest of his billionaire contributors, and the interest of Russian dictator Vladimir Putting who launched a cyber-attack on our elections to help Trump win.
 
Our system of government was designed to bind presidents and Congress to the Constitution. Trump flaunts the Constitution, and Congress enables him to do it. The Constitution is not constraining Trump. Nothing is constraining Trump, except the threat of the Trump-Russia investigation.
 
The crisis will only get worse as long as Trump can get away with it. “An unconstrained megalomaniac becomes more maniacal as he breaks more and more restraints. He will fill whatever political void exists with his unbridled ego.”
 
If Democrats held a majority in either the Senate or the House of Representatives, President Trump would have been charged with obstruction of justice and be facing impeachment proceedings.
 
“Donald Trump was elected president.” That’s the first lie.
 
The truth is, voters elected Hillary Clinton by a 3 million-vote margin. Hillary is the rightful President of the United States, she is the choice of the People.
 
Trump was not elected by the People, he was elected by a narrow margin in the Electoral College, which appears to have been manipulated by Russian hackers to help Trump win.
 
The Russians manipulated the election to help Trump win. The results are invalid. Trump is the illegitimate president who committed treason with the foreign power.
 
Taking to the streets!
 
Leaders of the Resistance are threatening to “take to the streets” if Trump interferes with the Muller investigation, which may be exactly what Trump wants.
 
Missive street demonstrations would give Trump an opportunity to use extreme police force to the quell the riots.
 
It would certainly activate his Nazi-white-supremacists base of supporters who would also take to the streets counter-protesting, inciting violence, and ensuring there are clashes with the police.
 
Trump would be “forced” to declare martial law and suspend civil liberties. He would “have no choice” but to imprison protesters, muzzle the press and suspend elections… indefinitely.
 
Sabotaging the Trump-Russia investigation, unleashing riots in the streets are the logical moves in Trump’s plan to start a Second Civil War to strengthen his grip on power.
 
The Resistance is already calling for massive demonstrations in the streets if Trump sabotages the Trump-Russia investigation, which will strengthen Trump’s hold on Congress and his ascendency to dictatorship.
 
Protests in the streets against the growing tyranny of the Trump regime are inevitable.
 
No matter how large the demonstrations, they may have little impact on Congress, and could lead to a violent confrontation with Trump supporters.
 
However, there is another way to protest that may have far greater impact on Congress. We simply protest by Phone and boycott Bank of America with a Call-In.
 
Protesting by the phone:
 
Protesting the streets is time consuming and difficult to sustain; whereas Phone Protesting is easy, cost efficient and anyone can join calling at anytime from anywhere.
 
There are no limits on how many people can make how many calls for how long to Bank of America in order to disrupt their business. Phone Protesters are not likely to suffer “phone fatigue.”
 
The phones become the field of battle. The National Guard cannot guard the phones. There are no riot police on the phones, no tear gas, no rubber bullets, and no violent confrontations with Trump supporters. It only takes a few million phone calls a day to take the phone privileges of Bank of America and Merrill Edge away.   
 
          The People vs. President Donald J. Trump
 
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines ‘Democracy’ as a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.
 
We the People, not Donald Trump and not Congress, are supreme power in our government. Trump is not a divine King with absolute authority: he is a public servant guilty of gross incompetence, criminal behavior, and delusions of grandeur. We the People must hold him accountable.
           We the People must bring Trump to justice.
We cannot wait for Congress to impeach Trump. No matter how many Democrats are in the upcoming elections, there will not be a 2/3 majority in the Senate to guarantee that Trump is impeached.
We must take matters into our own hands.
The key to forcing Republicans in Congress to impeach Trump is to Boycott Bank of America.
 
What we can do to stop Trump is disrupt business at Bank of America until Congress meets our demands or Congress loses Bank of America and Merrill Edge and there is a meltdown on Wall Street.
 
CALL-IN:
Call Bank of America and occupy their phones. Put their business on hold and send a message to Congress. On the phones we are free from their threat of violence from Trump supporter, we are free from the threat of Riot Police and arrests. Occupy and interrupt business with passive-aggressive phone protesting. Call in the thousands, in the millions and kill their business with kindness.
 
DIE-IN:
Lie down inside the nearest branch of Bank of America make yourself comfortable. Take up floor space. Line up in front of the bank so customers must wait for hours to get into the bank. Small local peaceful protests.
 
SOCIAL NETWORK
Use your smartphone to call and social network… spread the word. Call in solidarity, occupy the phones and put a chokehold on the bank’s communications, put business on hold. Invite activist in cities around the world to call Merrill Edge repay them for the damage they did to the global economy in the 2008 housing market scandal.
 
Get on your smartphone, go viral, and bring enough protesters to the phones to put business at Bank of America/ Merrill Edge on hold.
 
Burn Bank of America and give Trump a public trial by fire.  
 
Force Congress to impeach President Trump… to save Bank of America from going under.
 
Trump Republicans control Congress; they are the ones keeping Trump in power. Impeach Trump first then Mueller is free to prosecute Trump, his family members, and his campaign aids to the full extent of the law. 
 
Occupy the phones, bury the bank alive in phone calls. It’s only a matter of time until stockholders panic and start dumping their stock and depositors want they money back and start a run on the bank.
 
Impale Congress on the horns of a dilemma. Either they impeach Trump or they lose Bank of America and face a melt-down on Wall Street. It’s their choice.  
 
Join the Resistance Call for Action
 
Call in solidarity. Disrupt business and put Bank of America and Merrill Edge in a “State of Emergency.”
 
 A day of reckoning
 
Congress can impeach Trump, declare Hillary Clinton the rightful winner, and nullify everything law, executive order, every appointment, and undo everything Trump has illegally done.
 
If Congress does not meet our demands, we shall proceed to call Wells Fargo Bank… We will Occupy the Phones and shut down Wall Street if that’s what it takes.
 
In the end, Congress will comply, Trump will be impeached then prosecuted, justice will be served, and Hillary Clinton will be declared the duly elected president of the United States of America.

Trump is too Divine to be Impeached

6/6/2018

1 Comment

 
In the diseased mind of President Trump, the way to avoid the just punishment for his crimes is to elevate himself from President Trump to King Trump, the Supreme Ruler with absolute authority to pardon himself.
 
Our psychotic president fancies himself above the law; he is simply too divine to be impeached or go to prison for conspiring with Russians to rig the election while committing treason in the act. 

 @realDonaldTrump

There was No Cousion with Russia (except by the Democrats).
When will this very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax ever end?
So bad for our Country. Is the Special Counsel/Justice Department
leaking my lawyers letters to the Fake News Media? Should be
looking at Dems corruption instead? 
 
The Democrats colluded with the Russians to help the Republican candidate Trump win. That’s makes sense… if you’re feeble minded. 
 
The Trump-Russian investigation ends when Trump is impeached and sent to prison for conspiring with the Russians to manipulate our election.
 
The Trump-Russian investigation ends when we put an end to Trump’s illegitimate presidency and Congress declares Hillary Clinton the winner and every law, executive order, and appointment Trump has made is nullified. 
 
The Trump-Russian investigation ends when Trump Republicans are voted out of office and the Republican Party, the most dangerous organization on earth, is reduced to a Treasonous Political Party on par with the American Nazi Party.
 
This is the Beginning of the End for Donald Trump

We need to impress upon our representatives in Washington the self-evident truth that We the People are the Supreme Authority over our government. The president and members of Congress are Public Servants elected to serve the People.

It’s not too soon to put the President and Congress in their proper place. Donald Trump is not a god, he is a goddamned liar and a cruel and petty dictator. Congress is not a divine body of lawmakers ruling from on high, most of them are nothing but political prostitutes selling out the America People to their largest donors. 

Join the Call-in to Bank of America to force Congress to impeach Trump now.
Parkland Students launched a Call-in against The First National Bank of Omaha to force them to drop National Rifle Association credit cards. In less than ten days, with only about 4,000 calls coming in to one branch, First National Bank of Omaha, the largest privately-owned bank in America, surrendered and cancelled NRA credit cards. It was a stunning moment in American history.

CALL-IN:
Call Bank of America and occupy their phones. Put their business on hold and send a message to Congress. Congress will meet our demands… or Congress could lose Bank of America.
 
DIE-IN:
Lie down inside the nearest branch of Bank of America make yourself comfortable. Take up floor space. Line up in front so customers must wait for hours to get into the bank.
 
Get on your smartphone, go viral, and do your part to bring enough protesters to the phones to put business at Bank of America on hold.
 
SOCIAL NETWORK
Use your smartphone to social network and spread the word. Help raise and army of thousands, of millions of callers in cities around the world to join in calling and crush communications of Bank of America and Merrill Edge until stock holds panic and crash their stock, and depositors panic and start a run on the bank. 
 
Force Congress to impeach President Trump… to save Bank of America from going under.
 
Trump Republicans control Congress; they are the ones keeping Trump in power. However, Congress can’t afford to lose Bank of America. 
 
All we need do is occupy the phones, calling in peace and serenity and bury the bank alive in phone calls. It’s only a matter of time until the news goes viral the bank’s stock crashes and a run on the bank ensues.  
 
All we are saying is give Congress a choice.
 
Congress can protect the Trump-Russia investigation and impeach Trump…or Congress can risk losing Bank of America and face a financial melt-down on Wall Street. It’s their choice.
 
Join the Resistance… Call for Action
 
Call in solidarity and put business on hold at Bank of America and all Congress has to do is bend the knee and meet our demands to save Bank of America from going bankrupt.
 
Congress can impeach Trump, declare Hillary Clinton the rightful winner, and nullify everything Trump has done to harm this nation. If Congress does not meet our demands, we can proceed to call Wells Fargo Bank and shut down Wall Street… if they want to save Bank of America and Merrill Edge.
 
Resist now… Act now… Call now…
Help us give Democrats a stunning victory before the elections!
Force Republicans in Congress to impeach this traitor in the White House and declare Hillary Clinton the rightful President of the United States of America… before this lunatic in the Oval Office destroys this nation.

WE WERE WRONG HILLARY IS THE RIGHTFUL PRESIDENT

5/31/2018

What if Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million and lost the electoral college vote because the Russians launched a sophisticated cyber-attack on the elections to help Trump win the electoral college?
What if Trump conspired with Russian dictator Putin to rig the election to help him win and Trump is now Putin’s man in the White House?
What if Trump’s presidency is illegitimate and Hillary Clinton is the rightful President of the United States? That makes all the laws, the executive orders and appointments Trump has made null and void.
John Bolton gone. Ben Carson gone. Steve Mnunchin gone. Sen Jeff Sessions gone. Wilbur Ross gone. Betsy DeVos gone. Supreme court justice, Neil Gorsuch gone. The whole lot of them gone. 
Trump’s tax cut for billionaires scrapped. The Koch Brothers don’t pocket $1.4 billion dollars a year, and we are not an extra $1.4 trillion dollars in debt. Millions of Americans, like the school secretary who saves a $1.50 a week in her paycheck that will pay for her Costco membership, will receive a decent tax cut that helps pay for the groceries while small and medium sized business get the tax breaks… not gigantic corporations.
The Affordable Healthcare is restored, and there are no cuts to Social Security.

With Trump in prison and Clinton in the White House, Clinton can clean up the mess Trump has made. She can undo every single deplorable thing Trump has done and block every deplorable law the Trump Republicans want to pass until Democrats are elected to Congress and they forge legislation that taxes the rich, gives tax relief to working Americans, universal healthcare, and funds social programs.
All the Resistance has to do is force Congress to impeach Trump and accept the fact that Trump cheated and Clinton won. Trumps a traitor and Hillary Clinton is the rightful president of the United States of America.
We make the dream come true by giving Congress their worst nightmare.
 
Boycott Bank of America to force Congress to impeach Trump
 
How can we compel Congress to impeach Trump and declare Hillary the winner. Focus on Congress and make them an offer they can’t refuse. The secret is we reach Congress through Bank of America/ Merrill Edge.
 
Occupy Bank of America.
 
Hold a nationwide die-in. Demonstrate in front of the nearest bank branch. Lie down and play dead inside the bank, on the sidewalk outside the bank and in the street in front of every bank.
 
Hold a nationwide call-in. Blockade their phones, disrupt their communications and put their business on hold until Bank of America is ready to tell Congress to impeach Trump and Congress is ready to impeach Trump to save Bank of America.
 
Occupy the phones, overload Bank of America and their stock brokers Merrill Edge with calls, put a chokehold on their communications, interrupt business as usual and drive them to the edge of bankruptcy.
 
Peacefully protest. Call Bank of America, non-violently overload their communications, disrupt their business until their own customers turn on them in the chaos. It’s only a matter of time until stockholders panic and start dumping their stock and depositors start a run on the bank.
 
Force Congress to impeach President Trump… just to save Bank of America from going under.
 
The Bank of America Phone Boycott will make news. It will go viral. The Bank of America Call-in will grow and multiply and spread like a computer virus among people in cities everywhere who hate Bank of America/ Merrill Edge and fear President Trump.
 
Congress will protect the Trump-Russia investigation and impeach Trump for treason…or Congress will lose Bank of America/ Merrill Edge and run the risk of financial melt-down on Wall St.
 
We will not tolerate the Republicans in Congress cutting a deal to let Trump resign and make Vice President Mike Pence the next President of the United States, never. We will bankrupt Bank of America/Merrill Edge and then call and bankrupt Wells Fargo if we must, but Hillary is the legitimate President of the United States.
 
Join the Resistance.
 
All we have to do is call Bank of America, occupy the phones and keep calling until the volume of our calls disrupts their business until it starts a run on the bank. Call the nearest branch of Bank of America let them hear the sound of doom in their offices with their phones ringing off the hook. Put business at Bank of America on hold and have a hold over Congress. Congress will meet our demands because Congress cannot afford to lose Bank of America.
 
Let’s be reasonable.
 
No one wants to see Bank of America go bankrupt least of all Congress. All we have to do is call in solidarity. All Congress has to do is bend the knee and meet our demands and the invisible army of the Resistance will stop calling.
 
All Republicans who control Congress have to do is impeach Trump and put him on trial for treason to keep Bank of America from collapsing. 
 
This is teaching moment
 
We are in the right. We have smartphones, we have social media, we are armed with the weapons of non-violent, peaceful protest powerful to compel Congress to impeach Trump and declare Hillary the rightful President of the United States.  
 
The Resistance coalition
Building a coalition of organizations in the Resistance to force Congress to address all our issues.
·       The Parkland Students call for common-sense gun control
·       Seniors call to save Social Security
·       Minorities call to stop deportations and the inhumane separation of children from their parents trying to enter the US.
·       Ordinary tax payers call for a real tax cut for workers paided for by taxing the rich.
·       Let us exercise our inalienable right to call and call for healthcare for all Americans.
·       Let all loyal Americans call for justice to see that Trump is impeached and put on trial for obstruction of justice, money laundering and racketeering, and treason.

Donald Trump the Sun God

Picture
​Roseanne Barr, a Trump supporter, tweeted:, "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj" in reference to Valerie Jarrett.

​The backlash has been overwhelming. ABC announced it was canceling the television sitcom "Roseanne" in the aftermath of her racist Twitter outburst.
Valerie Jarrett, a former top aide to President Barack Obama, calmly reacted to actress Roseanne Barr's racist rant by saying the incident should become "a teaching moment."
Donald Trump is the new King Louis XIV of America, the Sun God. He is the Supreme Racist in the White House. He is the source of the racial divide and rise of the scourge of White Supremacy in America.
Trump rules the nation by dividing the people. Trumps shouts to the crowd at a rally “Build the wall”… and what his supporters hear is “Deport the wet backs… they are all rapists and animals,” “Send the Niggers back to Africa,” “Chinks” are not real Americans,” and “Ban the Muslims.”
Trump shouts “Make America Great Again” and his cult followers hear, “Make America White Again.”
Deadline White House‏Verified account @DeadlineWH More
"We think about Abraham Lincoln calling to the better angels of our nature ... Donald Trump, everyday from the moment he wakes up to the moment he retires, summons our worst demons"
 
Trump dehumanizes and attacks minorities to gain the approval of angry whites to build his base of support and strengthen his control of our government .
Trump’s daily Tweets stoke the fires of the White Nationalist Movement in America. Trump offers his base of bigots the promised land of a White Superiority the way Hitler fed the Nazi bigots in German the promise of Arian superiority and Germany over all. Trump is attacking non-white minorities in America; the way Hitler attacked the Jews in Germany. Because they are the most vulnerable and the least likely to fight back. Divide and conquer.
The small difference between Trump and Hitler: Hitler had a mustache. The big difference between Trump and Hitler: Trump has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews; Trump could start a race war in the streets to stay in power… and tear this nation apart. Trump could start a nuclear war in the Middle East to stay in power… and exterminate civilization.  
Trump believers know Trump is lying
Trumps lies and falsehoods are propaganda. They have a purpose. They are meant to delegitimize and antagonize the media, and keep the nation is a constant state of distraction and division.  But to Trump’s followers, his lies are insider communication. They are catch phrases, talking points, code to his constituents. Subliminal communication.
Trump calls the news media “fake news” to discredit factual reporting on Trump exactly the way Hitler called the news media in Germany the “lying press”.
60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl came away from an interview with #Trump where he blatantly told her he attacks the press and calls them “fake news” so no one will believe what the news media reports about him. Not only does he lie, but he brags about the lies he is telling.
The news media is the nation’s guard dog chasing its tail.
The more news casters try to correct Trump’s lies and falsehoods, the more they spread Trump’s gospel of lies and falsehood, and the more they help build his base of believers… who don’t care that Trump is lying.
Like telling a hog “You sir are wallowing in your own excrement.” The hog says, “…so what’s your point?”
Trump calls it “fake news “, but the truth is everything coming out of Trump’s mouth is nothing but pig-shit lies that resonate with his true believers.
Trump is a buffoon, but he is their buffoon. Trump is a con man, but he’s their con man, Trump is a ruthless dictator, but he is their ruthless dictator. To his followers, Trump is a means to an end. He is the evil that must be endured for the good of the overthrow of the government and his White is Right pipe dream.
Trump is such a prolific liar, such a consummate propagandist it’s mesmerizing. His lies have become our daily reality, our new norm. Everything in America now revolves around Trump and his Twitter tantrums that drive the news cycle. While his supporters wallow in it.
As Trump’s following of White Nationalists grows, Democrats who are placing their hopes on the upcoming election may be in trouble.
 
As one reporter noted, even with all the media fragmentation, Donald Trump dominates our attention universe. He blocks out the sun and sucks the oxygen out of the air.
 
The depth and breadth of this dictator’s depravity is as dangerous as it is astounding. It’s no wonder people don’t quite know what Democrats stand for, or how the Resistance can possibly resist the Trump Regime when we are an addendum in the Trump news cycle.
 
Trump is the supreme ruler of these United States. He is the new King Louis XIV of America, the sun god who sits on a golden thrown cloaked in immense power. Evangelicals worship this Devil as their new Jesus Christ.  
 
The Republican who  control Congress has chosen to keep Trump in the Oval Office to keep Republicans in power. They are a part of the conspiracy to obstruct of justice and to betray this country. They have sold their souls to the Devil, and they have sold out America. These politicians in Washington have defiled our government with their corruption and now treason.  
 
How are we to reason with Trump supporters?
 
How are we to make Trump supporters understand that Trump conspired with Russia to rig the election and now he is trying to kill the investigation into his criminal behavior? Trump is not the legitimate president, Trump is a traitor.
 
Perhaps we shouldn’t try to reason with Trump’s supporters who have abandoned reason. When they act out their racism in public, out them on Twitter.
 
Roseanne Barr may not change her heart, but she will be more mindful to keep her racist sentiments to herself. Roseanne is but a symptom, not the source of the malignant evil infecting the nation. She is a bigot, but she’s no Donald Trump.  
 
Boycott Bank of America to send a message to Congress to impeach Trump
 
This is a teaching moment. We must teach Congress a lesson.
 
We must compel Congress to impeach Trump. We must focus on Congress and make them an offer they can’t refuse.
 
Call Bank of America and occupy their phones. That’s right. Block their phones and put their business on hold until Bank of America is ready to tell Congress to impeach Trump.
 
Occupy the phones, overload the bank with calls, put a chokehold on their communications, interrupt business as usual and cost them money. Make Trump their problem.
 
Force Congress to impeach President Trump… just to save Bank of America from going under.
 
The GOP Republicans control Congress, but they can’t afford to lose Bank of America and face an economic meltdown on Wall Street. No, they cannot. 
 
We must take the Resistance to the next level. Step up from a million protesters marching in the streets to a million callers blocking the phones at Bank of America.
 
Bank of America is one of the 5 big banks on Wall Street. They are a key player in the Shadow Government that owns a big share of Congress and the President. When Bank of America speaks, Congress listens.
 
The best way to reach Congress is to peacefully call Bank of America, non-violently overload their communications, disrupt their business until their own customers turn on them in the chaos. When we occupy the phones at Bank of America, it’s only a matter of time until stockholders panic and start dumping their stock and depositors start a run on the bank. (Trump supporters with stock in the corporation and money in the back will be among the first to want their money back.)
 
The Bank of America Phone Boycott will make news
 
… it will go viral. We will dominate the news and activate protesters with smartphones to social network activating others to join in calling Merrill Edge in cities around the world. The Bank of America Call-in will grow and multiply and spread like a computer virus among people in cities everywhere who hate Bank of America/ Merrill Edge and fear the insane gas bag who is now President of the United States.
 
Congress will pass common-sense gun laws, protect the Trump-Russia investigation and impeach Trump for treason…or Congress will lose Bank of America/ Merrill Edge and run the risk of financial melt-down on Wall St.
 
Join the Resistance.
 
All we have to do is call Bank of America, occupy the Phones and keep calling until the volume of our calls disrupts their business. Call the nearest branch of BofA let them hear the sound of doom in their offices with their phones ringing off the hook.
 
Call in solidarity and help put a chokehold on the communications at Bank of America, disrupt business and cost them money… a great deal of money. Hold the bank hostage and exercise leverage over Congress. Congress will meet our demands because Congress cannot afford to lose BofA.
 
Let’s be reasonable.
 
No one wants to see Bank of America go bankrupt least of all Congress. All we have to do is call in solidarity. All Congress has to do is bend the knee and meet our demands and the invisible army of the Resistance will stop calling.
 
All Republicans who control Congress have to do is impeach Trump and put him on trial for treason to keep Bank of America from collapsing. 
 
We are the Resistance.
 
We are the children of God. There is room for us all. Our strength as a nation is in our diversity and our respect for the rights all people. We must destroy this egomaniac in the White House before he destroys us all. Light the gas bag on fire and melt the thrown of golden Sun God.
 
This is teaching moment
 
We are the majority. We have smartphones, we have social media, we are armed with the weapons of non-violent, peaceful protest to compel Congress to impeach Trump and bring this pompous pig on the thrown to justice.
 
Call and make America one nation under God indivisible with liberty and just for all.

Claudia was shot and killed

            My heart is broken at what my country has become
Relatives and neighbors of Claudia Patricia Gomez Gonzales deceased in Laredo Texas, are overwhelmed  with grief in their home in the Caserío Los Alonzo, in San Juan Ostuncalco.
 
Claudia Patricia Gómez Gonzáles was shot and killed by U.S. Border Patrol on Wednesday near Laredo, Texas. The 19-year-old child was coming to the U.S. from Guatemala in hopes of securing work to pay for her education.

​Claudia was shot in the head when a Border Patrol agent fired on a group of people he believed to be undocumented immigrants in Rio Bravo, Texas. 

Customs and Border Protection released a statement on Wednesday saying a lone Border Patrol agent was responding to a report of illegal activity near a culvert in Rio Bravo, Texas, when he “came under attack by multiple subjects using blunt objects.”

The revised report claims the agent ordered the group of immigrants to “get on the ground,” but they ignored his commands and “instead rushed him”…(without blunt objects). When the President lies incessantly, people in government feel then can do the same.
​
The family of a 19-year-old Guatemalan woman killed by a U.S. border patrol officer called on Friday for the United States to dial-back its rhetoric on migrants, after President Donald Trump described gang members entering the country as “animals.” Claudia was not a rapist, a gang member, or drug dealer as far as we know. She was not an animal, she was a human being, a young and beautiful person. 

Dominga Vicente, Claudia’s aunt told reporters in Guatemala City: “To the government of the United States, (I ask) that you do not treat us like this – like animals – just because you are a powerful and developed country,”

A seven-minute video posted online has gone viral. It appears to show the aftermath of the incident on a residential street. In the video, a woman calls out in Spanish, “Why did you shoot the girl? You killed her!”

​Is this what President Trump’s MAKE AMERICA WHITE AGAIN means? Why does Trump have to kill people at the border? Why must we have the blood of this innocent, young and beautiful child on our hands? Why do we allow this moral monster in the White House to rule over us?
Trump’s policy of separating Hispanic children from their parents trying to enter the country is a nightmare. Federal agencies have lost track of some 1,500 of these children. Desperate parents being detained don’t know what has happened to their children and can’t contract them.  
 
Then Trump has the gall to blame the Democrats for this outrage.

This is a big lie. 1) There is no law requiring children to be separated from parents. 2) Democrats are already asking him to reverse his policy. 3) Republicans control Congress. 4) The 2008 law his administration points to as evidence for the claim was signed by G.W. Bush.
 
Draconian policies.
 
Trump is destroying families. He is deporting people who have lived here for years and committed no crimes. He is undermining the work force that has made California the bread basked of the world. The damage to agriculture and our food supply is a self-inflicted wound on our economy. Trump is threatening the availability of food and the stability of lower food prices across the country.

We’re experiencing incident after incident of racially motivated attacks on innocent people in this country because of Trump’s racist pandering to his base of White Nationalistic extremists.
 
Boycott Bank of America to send a message to Congress
 
In order to convince Congress to pass a just and workable immigration policy, and impeach Trump, we must make Congress we much have something to bargain with. We must have leverage.
 
Call Bank of America and occupy their phones. Put their business on hold. Tell Bank of America to tell Congress to meet our demands… or Congress can lose Bank of America.
 
Occupy the phones, overload the bank with calls, put a chokehold on their communications, interrupt business as usual and cost the bank enough money to undermine their profitability.
 
Force Congress to impeach President Trump… just to save Bank of America from going under.
 
The GOP Republicans control Congress; they are ones keep Trump in power. However, they can’t afford to lose Bank of America and face an economic meltdown on Wall Street.

A Call To Arms

The Liberty Bell cannot be in-rung 

Our forefathers brought forth on this continent a new nation…  that is today imperiled as never before by a dystopian dictator in the White House who collaborated with the Russians to rig the election. Not only is Donald Trump’s presidency illegitimate, he is a traitor. The election was rigged. The results of the election are invalid and everything Trump has done in office, all the bills and executive orders he has signed and the appointments he has made must be nullified. Trump cheated and that makes Hillary Clinton the rightful President of the United States of America.

 
After the election, Trump as not enforced sanctions against Russia for the attacking on our election process to stop it from happening again. Trump has nothing but praise for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Trump is giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and that is treason.
 
We are Americans, we are the Resistance. Our proud history includes the resistance to British rule, the resistance to slavery in the South, the resistance to the exploitation of workers, the resistance to segregation, the resistance to the Viet Nam War then and the resistance now to the criminal regime of Donald Trump and the billionaires behind him who have bought our government and given themselves the most outrageous tax cut in history at the expense of the America people.
 
This clever devil has divided our nation over the issue of race giving rise to White Nationalism. Trump and his Republican cohorts in Congress have seized power and are transforming our government into a corrupt racists dictatorship where the rich are obscenely rich, the people are pawns, and the nation is deeply divided plunging headlong towards a second civil war.   
 
Our birthright is Democracy.
 
We defeated the British, we defeated the slave owners in the South who started the Civil War, we defeated segregation, we ended the war in Viet Nam, and we will defeat and destroy the government of Donald Trump and these Republican traitors in Congress.
 
The Liberty Bell has a crack in it. I like to think it’s there to remind us that our freedom is ever in danger and we must be diligent. We must be prepared to fight, to resist the forces of evil from without and from within that would divide us, exploit us, enslave us and imperil the future of mankind. 
 
The Liberty Bell is ringing in the name of freedom for all the world to hear, and it cannot be un-rung.  


The Parkland High School Shooting
 
In the aftermath of the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14 that left 17 dead, Parkland students led by David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez took center stage as they launched the protest for gun control nationwide and they took on the NRA. They started with a simple boycott of First National Bank of Omaha.
 
Congress refuses to pass common-sense gun control… why?
 
The National Rifle Association bribes members of Congress with obscene campaign contributions to not pass gun laws.
 
Our system of government is commonly called a “Representatives Democracy” which is not really a Democracy. Why? Because our representatives take unlimited bribes from special interests such as the NRA. Representatives do not represent the America People or the Common Good as much as they represent best the special interests that contribute most.
 
So the question becomes how? How do Parkland Students and decent Americans who believe in Democracy, force the members of Congress to pass common-sense gun laws when they are talking obscene amounts of money from the NRA? Therein lies the rub. 
 
Parkland Students have surprised everyone… especially the NRA. They have employed some new approaches to petitioning Congress for the redress of grievances and undermine the NRA’s control over Congress. The Parkland students launched a Phone Boycott of First National Bank of Omaha, the nation’s largest privately held bank.  
 
The student boycott of First National Bank of Omaha succeeded before it made headlines
 
In an unusual and unprecedented act of protest, Parkland Students targeted First National Bank of Omaha. They didn’t boycott old school by refusing to bank there. Instead, they took to their smartphones calling First Nation Bank to demand the bank stop sponsoring NRA credit cards. They occupied the phones. They began blockading the bank’s communications, which threatened to disrupt business and start a run on the bank.
 
The Parkland Student Phone Boycott.
 
Students and their supporters began making phone calls to the bank until the calls began to disrupt business as usual.
 
The Phone Boycott was over in under ten days with only about 4,000 calls a day coming into the bank. The First National Bank surrendered before the Phone Boycott had a chance to go viral.

First National Bank
✔ @FNBOmaha

Customer feedback has caused us to review our relationship with the NRA. As a result, First National Bank of Omaha will not renew its contract with the National Rifle Association to issue the NRA Visa Card.
12:22 PM - Feb 22, 2018
 
“Customer feedback” threatened to overload their phones, cut off their communications and disrupt their business. The high and mighty First National Bank, the largest privately held bank in America, saw the hand writing on the wall, and they capitulated.
 
It was a Smartphone Boycott where students and their supporters occupied the phones in solidarity. They used their phones to social network, to spread the word and activate activists to join in calling. They made free phone calls to overload the phones, interrupt business and convince the bank to drop the NRA. The Parkland Students occupied the phones at the bank... and the bank surrender in under ten days.

Why didn’t the bank publicly cry about being the target of a “denial of service attack” and have the police try to arrest four thousand protesters for calling? Why didn’t the bank take it to court to try to prove that the protesters committed a crime by simply calling to complain. Apparently, the bank realized that by the time they got to court, the bank could be bankrupt, and no jury in the world is going find consumers guilty of calling a business to complain… especially when they are consumers and it’s their right to call that’s on trial. What jury is going to want the police violating the sacrosanct rights of all consumers (themselves included) to call a business open to the public for whatever reason they damn well feel like whenever they damn well want to? How can you compare the right of one business to make money as opposed to the rights of 7.6 billion consumers to call and complain?   
 
Arrest one protester and have 7 billion angry people with phones left to call… with a vengeance.
 
Apparently, the bank saw the potential danger in telling 7.6 billion people in the world with mobile phones, “Don’t call our bank… or we’ll have you all arrested.”
 
A large percentage of those 7.6 billion consumers are highly likely to take the threat to violate their rights to use their phones personally and call and tell the bank to “Go to hell!” The number of people calling First Nation could be astronomical.
 
Parkland students boycotting by phone schooled First National Bank. In under ten day, they show the bank what can happens when their phones are occupied with protesters and the bank can’t answer the phones fast enough to clear the lines and keep their business operational.
 
This is an overwhelming victory for the Parkland Students, for the Resistance, for social activists and freedom fighters everywhere that will live in history. Occupy the phones, call in solidarity overload the phones, and We the People have the power to bring the big banks like those on Wall Street to their knees.
 
The Liberty bell of freedom is ringing, and it cannot be un-rung.

The world heard it, but the people have not understood it.
 
The news media has glossed over it. They reported it, but they did not understand it. Activists simply do not understand the power in this new tactic, this new approach to protesting not by land or by sea, not in the streets but by phone. The Parkland Students discovered how to weaponize their smartphones and turn them into assault weapons for social protest. Even the students at Parkland don’t seem to realize the power in what they have invented.
 
                The Bank of America Phone Boycott
Call Bank of America in solidarity and occupy the phones. Tell Bank of America to tell Congress to pass sensible gun laws, protect the special counsel’s investigation, and impeach Trump… or Congress could lose Bank of America.
 
Occupy the phones, overload the bank with calls, put a chokehold on their communications, interrupt business as usual and cost the bank enough money to get their attention. Force Congress to impeach President Trump… just to save Bank of America from going under. The GOP Republicans are in control of Congress, but they can’t afford to lose Bank of America and face an economic meltdown on Wall Street. No, they cannot. 
 
We must take the Resistance to the next level. Step up from boycotting First National Bank of Omaha to boycotting Bank of America. Step up from a million protesters marching in the streets to a million callers blocking the phones at Bank of America.
 
The difference between First National Bank and Bank of America is size.
 
Bank of America is one of the 5 big banks on Wall Street. They are a key player in the Shadow Government that owns a big share of Congress and the President. When Bank of America speaks, Congress listens.
 
The best way to reach Congress is to peacefully call Bank of America, non-violently overload their communications, disrupt their business until their own customers turn on them. When we occupy the phones at Bank of America, it’s only a matter of time until stockholders panic and start dumping their stock and depositors start a run on the bank. Trump supporters with money in the back will be among the first to want their money back.
 
The Bank of America Phone Boycott will make news

The International Bank of America Phone Boycott will grow and multiply and spread like a computer virus among people in cities everywhere who hate Bank of America/ Merrill Edge and fear the insane President of the United States.
 
Congress will pass common-sense gun laws, protect the Trump-Russia investigation and impeach Trump for treason; or Congress will lose Bank of America/ Merrill Edge and run the risk of financial melt-down on Wall St.
 
All we have to do Occupy the Phones and keep calling Bank of America until the volume of our calls disrupts their business … and Congress gets the message.
 
Join the Resistance.
 
Occupy the Phones. Call the nearest branch of BofA let them hear the sound of the invasion in their offices with their phones ringing off the hook.
 
Call in solidarity and help put a chokehold on the communications at Bank of America, disrupt business and cost them money… a great deal of money. Hold the bank hostage and exercise leverage over Congress. Congress will meet our demands because Congress cannot afford to lose BofA.
 
Let’s be reasonable.
 
No one wants to see Bank of America go bankrupt because they can’t answer their phones. All Congress has to do is bend the knee and meet our demands and the invisible army of the Resistance will stop calling. All Republicans who control Congress have to do is pass sensible gun control, impeach Trump and put him on trial for treason and do the job the American people elected them to do.  America is a Democracy and We the People have smartphones, we now have the weapons of non-violent warfare to secure the supreme power over our government, which is rightfully our.
 
Donald Trump is guilty as sin and in order to escape justice he has taken his assault on the FBI and the Trump-Russia investigation to a new and dangerous level.
 
Tuesday 5/22/2018: The president has order the FBI to investigate the FBI for beginning to investigate Trump’s suspicious ties to Putin and the Russians hacking our elections during the elections by having an informant sound out Trump campaign operatives…which is standard procedure and the sworn duty of the FBI.
 
Trump and his cronies in Congress have come up with the absurd conspiracy theory that the FBI “spied” on his campaign for political purposes. The Trump-Russia investigation is nothing more than a Democratic conspiracy against Trump.
 
The Trump Republicans are using this phony excuse to manufacturing a partisan divide to justify hamstring and/or ending the Mueller investigation of Trump’s criminal and treasonous crimes. The FBI began the investigation Trump’s campaign, because Trump and his campaign appeared to be cooperating and coordinating with the Russians to rig the election for Trump… and that is treason and it damn well should be investigated.
 
We can wait patiently for the elections in January hopefully to elect a Democrat majority in Congress who will impeach Trump… but we risk the immediate takeover of our government and damage Trump is capable of doing in the meantime.
 
Or we can take to the phones. Now is the time to act. Now is time for the Resistance to unleash a Phone Boycott of Bank of America and give Congress an economic disaster that will bring Bank of America to their knees and Congress to their senses. Republicans in Congress can Dump Trump or Republicans can lose Bank America and face a meltdown on Wall Street.    
The invasion of an invisible army of callers, the terrifying roar of battle, the resound clamor of phones ringing off the hook in the offices of Bank of America and Merrill Edge driving them into chaos, this is the deafening thunder of doom to those in power; but to the Resistance this is the sweet sound of the Liberty Bell ringing loud and clear. This is the call for freedom and for justice in America ringing out all over the land.

Texas High School Shooting

How many children have to die in senseless school shootings
before Congress passes common-sense gun control?

                                                                by Marc Keyser
Texas school shooting leaves 10 dead and 10 wounded
      The grieving families remember their children who were shot and killed at Santa Fe High School.
​    Kimberly Vaughan was in art class when shots rang out Friday morning. Her mother, Rhonda Hart, posted on Facebook "She is in heaven. I am heartbroken."
Family members described Angelique Ramirez as "busting at the seams with energy and laughter. Vivacious" to CBS Houston affiliate KHOU. 
     "She had so much ahead of her," the family said. "CREATIVE beyond belief! She was a magnificent caretaker and a staple in her family. She stood up for what was right and made friends with anyone she saw as a good soul. A beautiful child finding her way and hopeful for her future. Beyond her years"
      Angelique's aunt posted on Facebook that she has a "broken heart and a soul." 
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has offered to pay for the funerals of the eight children and two teachers killed during a mass school shooting on Friday. 
      SANTA FE, Tex. — A nation plagued by a wrenching loop of mass school shootings watched the latest horror play out in this small Southeast Texas town Friday morning, as a young man armed with a shotgun and a .38 revolver smuggled under his coat opened fire on his high school campus, killing 10 people, many of them his fellow students, and wounding 10 more.
It was the worst school shooting since the February assault on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., where a young man with an AR-15 rifle left 17 people dead and prompted a wave of nationwide, student-led protests calling on lawmakers to tighten gun laws.

In the aftermath of the Parkland high school shooting last February…
President Trump met with Parkland Students and told them he was going to take on the NRA. That was a lie, because the next day, Trump met with an NRA representative and decided he was not really going to do anything.

Congress has responded to the Parkland high school shooting. Speaker Paul Ryan has been having students who are peacefully protesting outside of his office arrested.
Congress has not had the time to pass any gun control legislation…but if we follow the money we see that Congress did pass Trump’s tax cut.
President Trump calls this a “tax cut for the middle class”. Billionaire Trump personally saves an estimated $14,000,000 every year.

The Koch Brothers take home an extra $1,000,000,000 to 1,400,000,000 a year after donating $20 million to members of Congress to convince them to vote for the tax cut. The Koch brothers gave Speaker Paul Ryan a $500,000 donation as a tip for his services.

Six of the largest banks, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo, together received a $3.6 billion-dollar tax cut for the first quarter of this year.

A middle-class school secretary has an extra $1.50 a week in her pay check that will pay for her Costco membership. The Koch brothers each have an extra $500,000,000 a year to spend at Costco. This is how Trump’s making America great again for the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of American taxpayers.

So the GOP controlled Congress is doing something to make the extremely rich obscenely rich. The Trump Republicans are just not doing anything about gun control. 

When we follow the money, we see that Congress is giving 1% of the richest people in America and their mega corporations the better part of a $1.5 trillion-dollar tax with money we do not have. Trump’s tax bill adds $1.5 trillion to the national debt, which is already over $20 trillion and climbing. The national debt combined with a tax system where the rich and their mega corporations don’t pay their share of taxes drives the nation down the road to the brink of bankruptcy and a second Great Depression. 

Jimmy Kimmel politely pointed out that Trump and lawmakers care more about the support of the National Rifle Association “than they do about children.” “So they sit there with their hands in their pockets, pockets that are full of gun money, and they do nothing. They just wait for the outrage to pass.”

The problem is representative democracy is not Democracy.
The President and Congress are the enemy of the People. Our representatives in Congress are bought by special interests with obscene campaign contributions. The rich who pay to play have the best representation that money can buy at the expense of the America people and the common good. Washington is den of thieves, a house of corruption that is bankrupting the nation giving tax breaks to billionaires and turn their backs on the needs of the People.

In response to the Parkland shooting, student David Hogg launched a phone boycott of the First National Bank of Omaha.

The students simply called the bank and the sheer volume of calls began to brown out the phones. They put a choke hold on the bank’s communications.

First National quickly realized that if the phone boycott continued the 4,000 calls a day could easily become 400,000 and the growing. The sheer volume of calls could blockade their phones and disrupt their daily business, which could undermine consumer confidence, which could crash their stock, which could lead to a run on the bank, which could bankrupt the bank… and the police can arrest consumers for calling.

The bank settled quickly before the disruption caused significant financial losses, before the bank’s stock dropped in value and there was a run on the bank. By being reasonable and meeting the reasonable demands to drop NRA credit cards, the bank averted any permanent damage.

Seeing first-hand the potential costs to First National Bank of Omaha, other companies wanted out. Delta, United Airlines, Best Western cut ties with the NRA. Along with airlines, car rental giants Avis, Hertz and Enterprise, the Best Western hotel chain, and the global insurance company MetLife. More than a dozen other corporations have severed affiliations with the NRA. We’ve never had a protest this peaceful get such profound results so quickly.
​
The best way to get a message to Congress is simply to call Bank of America.
The difference between First National Bank and Bank of America is size. BofA is one of the big banks on Wall Street. They are a key player in the Shadow Government that influences and controls Congress. When Bank of America speaks, Congress listens.
 
The best way, the only way really, to communicate with Congress is to peacefully call Bank of America, overload their phones, cut off their communications and cripple their business… until Congress gets the memo.
 
Once we start calling, we can’t lose and Bank of America can’t win.
 
It’s merely a matter of time until word of the Phone Boycott goes viral on social media, the volume of calls builds, stockholders panic and start dumping their stock, and depositors want their money out of Bank of America and Merrill Edge. Their own customers turn on them, and Trump supporters will be among the first to want their money back.
 
Congress shall pass common sense gun laws, not because they care about the slaughter of innocent children in our schools and in spite of the obscene amounts of money the NRA uses to bribe them.
 
No, Congress will pass gun laws to save Bank of America from going under. If Congress does not pass common-sense gun control, Congress could lose Bank of America and face a meltdown on Wall Street. All we have to do is social network and spread the word. Just keep calling Bank of America and Merrill Edge together until the Phone Boycott goes viral.
 
Social network, get the message out between calls to Bank of America put a chokehold on their communications until Congress feels the heat. Take control of the phones at Bank of America and exercise leverage over Congress. Congress can meet our demands, or Congress can attend the funeral for Bank of America. We must not, we will not tolerate this corruption in Congress. We want common-sense gun control, and we want it now, and if we have to sacrifice Bank of America… that’s a small price to pay.
 
As long as we have Bank of America on the phone, and we have a strangle hold on their communications, we might also insist that Congress impeach Trump for treason and nullify everything he’s done while in office.

10 Killed in Texas High School Shooting
        By Marc Keyser
May 18, 2018: Texas school shooting leaves 10 dead and 10 wounded while NRA’s Dana Loesch is featured on NRA ads threatening those of us who support gun control saying our time is running out… No our patience is running out! We’re fed up, and we’re not going to take it anymore.

When the Parkland high school shooting occurred on Feb. 14, 2018 and 17 people killed, the Parkland Students responded quickly. They launched a phone boycott of the First National Bank of Omaha. They didn’t refuse to bank there, they simply called the bank and the sheer volume of calls began to brown out the phones.
     First National quickly realized that if the phone boycott continued the 4,000 calls a day could easily become 400,000 and the growing. The sheer volume of calls could blockade their phones and disrupt their daily business, which could undermine consumer confidence, which could crash their stock, which could lead to a run on the bank, which could bankrupt the bank… and the police can arrest consumers for calling.

Along with airlines, car rental giants Avis, Hertz and Enterprise, the Best Western hotel chain, and the global insurance company MetLife. More than a dozen other corporations have severed affiliations with the NRA.

Next we call Bank of America, a big Wall Street Bank with ties to Congress.

     We build on our success; we aim for a bigger bank that has immense influence with Congress… a den of corrupt politicians taking money from the NRA and refusing to pass sensible gun laws.
      The difference between First National Bank and Bank of America is size. BofA is one of the 5 big banks on Wall Street. They are a key player in the Shadow Government that owns a big stake in Congress and the President. When Bank of America speaks, Congress listens.

      Once we start calling, we can’t lose and Bank of America can’t win. It’s merely a matter of time volume of calls builds, the news goes viral, stockholders panic and start dumping their stock, and depositors want their money out of Bank of America and Merrill Edge.
      Congress will pass common sense gun laws, not because they care about the slaughter of innocent children in schools and in spite of the obscene amounts of money the NRA uses to bribe them. No, Congress will pass gun laws to save Bank of America from going under.
 
All we have to keep calling Bank of America and Merrill Edge together until it makes the news and goes viral.
 
     Social network, get the message out while you call the nearest branch of BofA and put a chokehold on their communications and cost them money until Congress gets the message. Take control of the phones at Bank of America and exercise leverage over Congress. Congress can meet our demands, or Congress can lose Bank of America.
      We’re fed up, and we don’t have to take it anymore.

Stop Bank of America financing the manufacturing of assault weapons
​Parkland students called to boycott First National Bank of Omaha to disrupt their communications and in under 10 days the bank dropped NRA credit cards. No riot police, no tear gas, no broken windows, no neo-Nazis with Tiki torches, no arrests, no deaths.
 
Now more than ever, we must support the Parkland Students in the fight for common sense gun control. Call and boycott Bank of America to interrupt the phones, disrupt their business and convince Bank of America to stop financing the manufacturing of assault weapons.
 
                     The Phone Boycott of the First National Bank of Omaha
 
In response to the Parkland school shooting, student activists took on the NRA by targeting First National Bank of Omaha for doing business with the NRA. They didn’t demonstrate in the streets or refuse to bank there, they simply called the bank until the volume of calls began to brown out the phones. Protesters called to tell the bank they were boycotting the bank… or how else would the bank know it was being boycotted?
When enough people began to call, it started to tie up the phones and disrupt business and cost the bank money, which is a very convincing argument for the bank to drop the NRA. The students turned their smartphones into virtual-reality-assault weapons.

The bank had a pivotal moment.
They saw the light. They got religion. They realized that if the phone boycott continued 4,000 calls a day could easily become 400,000 calls a day then 4,000,000 calls a day and growing. The sheer volume of calls could disrupt their daily business, which could undermine consumer confidence, which could crash their stock, which could set off a run on the bank, which could bankrupt the bank.
There were no arrests and no violence in the revolutionary Phone Boycott of First National Bank.
Student protesters were not confronted with Tiki-torch-gun-toting-skin-head-Trump Nazis or riot police with tear gas and batons beating and arresting people in the virtual reality of the telecommunication system where the protesters are invisible.
The bank chose not to have people arrested for calling because arresting one consumer would be like shooting a signal flare into an oil spill on the freeway in rush hour traffic while you’re sitting in your vehicle stalled in traffic covered with crude oil. Arresting a few callers would not intimidate millions of consumers or stop them from calling to defend their right to call and tell the bank to go to hell.
Threatening consumers who might call infringes on the inalienable rights of the better part of 7.6 billion consumers around the world who use their phones on a daily basis to call businesses open to the public to complain… if need be. 
Arresting protesters for calling the bank to complain would be as counterproductive as stepping on a land mine.
Arresting phone protesters for calling a business open to the public, assuming you can identify thousands of them coming on line daily, is not a deterrent. One arrest would make the news, which would go viral, and public outcry could bring not thousands but millions of consumers to the phones calling not just to boycott Bank of America but to defend their right to call and complain.
First National Bank wisely chose to settle quickly and quietly before the Phone Boycott went viral and the disruption to their communication systems caused significant financial losses. They got out before investors began to panic and the bank’s stock dropped in value and worried depositors started a run on the bank. Being reasonable and meeting the reasonable demands to drop NRA credit cards, the bank averted any permanent damage.
There was no way for First National Bank to physically prevent people from calling to complain.
Student activists used their smartphones to call the bank, more importantly they used their smartphones to social network and activate people from all over to join in calling. (Younger people are particularly adept at evolving telecommunications technology and now that they’ve discovered how to use their smartphones for social protest, they are a force to be reckoned with.)
The Phone Boycott of First National Bank sent a clear message to other corporations doing business with the NRA.
Seeing first-hand the damage the Student Phone Protest did to First National Bank of Omaha, other companies wanted out. Delta, United Airlines, Best Western cut ties with the NRA. Along with airlines, car rental giants Avis, Hertz and Enterprise, the Best Western hotel chain, and the global insurance company MetLife. More than a dozen other corporations have severed affiliations with the NRA.
                           The Phone Boycott of Bank of America
 
Simply call the nearest Bank of America/Merrill Edge and tell them not to use their depositor’s money to finance the manufacturing of assault weapons.
 
Call and tell Bank of America you’re boycotting them; how else will they know we’re boycott them unless we call and tell them we’re boycotting? Keep calling and keep boycotting until Bank of America gets the message.
 
We the People are placing sanctions on Bank of America.
 
Call in solidarity, overload their phones, interrupt their business and cost the bank enough money to get their attention. Call in mass, brown out their phones, disrupt their business until investors panic and crash the bank’s stock, and worried depositors start a run on the bank… if need be.
 
Bank of America can face crippling sanctions…or Bank of America can meet our demands and stop financing the manufacturing of assault weapons.
 
This just in:
Donald T‏ @DonaldT94555451 o
Replying to @ogkeyser @davidhogg111 and 2 others
Fuck off. I’ll bank with whom I choose!
That’s it exactly. We have the right to bank with the bank we chose, and we have the right to call Bank of America and tell them we chose not to bank there. If @DonaldT94555451 choses to bank at Bank of America in the chaos and confusion of a run on the bank, that’s his choice.
