> [@Toxgoddess](#): > > I sent something similar - to my Rep and Senators, to Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, Steny Hoyer and Mike Pence. It ran to three pages of objections to the events of the last few weeks and demands for action. And I informed them that I make a pretty good salary, I am contributing to favorite political causes, I am angry and I vote. Probably sounded bitchy and angry. I certainly hope it sounded bitchy and angry! Pelosi at least is taking off the gloves. She has already taken shots at Trump over his Muslim ban and his SC pick, Now she has called out Bannon as a White Supremacist (which he is). “What’s making America less safe is to have a white supremacist named to the National Security Council as a permanent member, while the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Director of National Intelligence are told, ‘Don’t call us we’ll call you,’” She is absolutely right. We don’t need Nazis in the White House. ---

They probably hold them in lower esteem than those God damn New York Jews and effete Harvard Bostonians and Hollywood celebrities and San Francisco homos. “In your FACE, rest of the world!” ---
