Happy Birthday John Lennon!

TV on MUTE is better than with audio at times like this.

I see a pale and pinkish semi-man on the left and a dark orange "unidentified life form" on the right. In the front row everyone clapped except for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. What a visual.

Dear Men, Here's How To NOT Treat Women In The Era Of

#METOO, tRump and Kavanaugh...

https://rvamag.com/politics/dear-men-an-open-letter-on-how-to-be-a-better-ally-during-the-kavanaugh-hearings.html

"Don’t rape anyone.
Don’t be a piece of shit.
Don’t make jokes about sexual assault.
DO call out your buddies for their uncool behavior.
Believe survivors. All of them. Always.
Don’t want to be accused of assault? Don’t assault someone!"

"Good afternoon, male readers. Between the Kavanaugh/Ford case, #MeToo, and the general fact of having Trump as president, it’s a pretty scary time to be alive. Especially for a man!

Man, it is so difficult being a cis white man in America these days! You think you’re just leaving your house one night, minding your business to get a Starbucks and buy some board shorts, and boom! You’re accused of sexual assault! What is a guy to do, am I right?

But let’s be real. We would be remiss without acknowledging that the ladies in your life are having a bit of a time, too. It’s rough out there for us girls. So I bet you’re sitting there asking yourself: “Brad, my man. What can I do for the ladies in my life? How can I be a better ally?”

We’re glad you asked, Todd! Just for you, we have created a handy dandy top six list that’ll tell you how to be a better ally to the girls in your life!

I have a feeling certain GOP senators will be followed by people who

see justice was not applied and will NOT FORGET this minority rule. I hope they are surrounded and harassed every waking moment and haunted in their nightmares. McConnell just said he thinks this will "blow over". HA! Not by a long shot you miserable, old bastard. The minority DOES NOT RULE! This is not a fascist country or an oligarchy of rich, white, power hungry, angry men! We will RESIST YOU!


Are you ANGRY? Here are ideas to put anger into action and WIN Nov!
Here are some groups I belong to....

What did Murkowski mean when she said her vote is withdrawn

since it wouldn't change anything. I know she voted for Daines (yes) since he is absent but did she take back her "No" vote?

The protesters shouting during the vote add to the surreal atmosphere.

THANK YOU PROTESTERS! We support you!



RESISTANCE is PATRIOTISM!

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
