VICHY MSM: Or When a Writer Has to Do Math… by heidi siegmund cuda, aka @maewestside
Because the things that Americans need as they sift through the debacle of Scamalot… clarity, truth… cannot easily be found in Vichy MSM, an unshackled gal like I must help clarify the narrative. When you’ve worked in corporate telly and print, you know the racket. Sometimes you’ll get some truth, and often you get the mandate from the billionare$ who sign the checks. Ergo, there’s no checks and balances on truth in reporting, so it’s difficult to find it anywhere consistently. Truth in corporate controlled media is like the rose that grows from the concrete. Cherish it.
Even the most noblest of things you see on TV are sponsored by greedcreeper$ who are cyberbombing the world with info-lie$ adjusted to ensure a winning portfolio. 
But as the rotating doors of Scamalot’s very own Stoolie$ reminds we truthseekers that THIS IS NOT NORMAL, I figgered, just as I gave you a character timeline of “Silent Bob” Mueller vs the Mob Carny, aka the “Diarrhea Tweeta,” I felt it was important for someone from #freepress to step up and count the “Fade Outs” lulz, those fired or who resigned from working with the Worst Thing That’s Ever Happened to Our Country and Certainly the Most Déclassé: the Real Fake President aka #Bot45, a full-on mental ca$e. 
So here goes, a writer who ain’t a mathemagician attempts the arithmetic of a Real Fake President who can’t control his staff lulz:
THE FADE OUTS, in order of their last appearance:
Tom Price, House and Human Services lulz… quit in di$grace
Sebastian Gorka, WH Counterterrorism Advisor lulz… re$igned
Andrew Hemming, Rapid Response Director lulz, who was tasked with peddling positive news stories to both media and #Bot45 #sad… resigned
Carl Icahn, Special Advisor… recu$ed hisself
Steve Bannon, WH Chief Strategi$t lulz… depend$ who you a$k or read, but hi$ removal put him outsky on his own tripsky, still funded by #mercercreeper and the queens of “glittering steel” lulz and getting lots of facetime on #vichymsm as loose gravel everywhere
Anthony Scarymucci, WH Communications Director… fired #burpfarthurl
Reince Priebus, WH Chief of $taffz lulz… fired lulz
Michael Short, Asst. Press Secretary… resigned
Sean $picer, WH Press Secretary… resigned lulz #burpfart
Michael Dubke, WH Communiations Director… resigned
James Comey, Director of the FBI… fired not lulz… very serious shit
Angella Reid, WH Chief Usher… “dismissed” not lulz… #trulysad
KT McFarland, Deputy National Security Advisor… reassigned lulz
Katie Walsh, Deputy Chief of Staff… dismissed? repurposed? after health care fail
Preet Bharara, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York… fired not lulz 
Craig Deare, National Security Council Senior Director for Western Hemisphere Affairs… fired not lulz… (an example of the vainglorious #mental45 inability to not be fawned over relentlessly i.e., “kiss the ring, bitch”)
Michael Flynn, National Security Advisor lulz not lulz… #treasonweasel
Sally Yates, #shero, United States Deputy Attorney General… fired resulting in a promotion into the hearts of the American public
Patrick Kennedy, Under Secretary of State for MGMT… quit #word
Now gentle reader, this is only a fraction of reality: the night I arrived in Washington, DC, to partake in the Women’s March, I was hosted by a gent who had resigned his position in our government that evening and shook the hand of the gentleman who had hired him, President Barack Obama, on the way out the door.
My host, like many, had no intention to ever work under a Real False President, a man of such staggering inelegance whose staggering track record of failure and mobponzi-ne$$ was downplayed so profoundly by Vichy MSM which was profiting so tremendously off his rise… but I digress (stop me if you think that you’ve heard this one before; and it’s not too late to sign my #cybertreason @moveon petition https://twitter.com/foxycuda/status/854824622901960704).
As we await the next resignation, firing, scandal or whatevs to oust SessionsCreeper, PruitCreeper, ConwayCreeper, the Golden Doo$h and of course the Diarrhea Tweeta hisself, we also want to remind everyone that we prolly won’t remember the names of those who bailed on #Bot45 early, but the stench of collaborator$ will last long after impeachment.
Gee, I’m guessing a few of my millionaire pals are wishing they’d listened to their only real friend in the media when I cautioned them a year ago to not take the call, the filthy lucre or the facetime.
Kliegeye is a permanent condition when the spotlight becomes an interrogation light.

Emmy award-winning investigative reporter Heidi Siegmund Cuda’s latest film, “Rigged: A Tail of Corruption,” makes it big screen debut at the Orcas Island Film Festival, which takes place the weekend of Oct. 6-9. Cuda is one of three directors who won a grant to make a short film on the San Juan Islands. You can view her film, “RIGGED,” here: http://www.orcasfilmfest.com/rigged/
Cuda believes the world is being misrepresented by vichy media, which is inflaming hate for profit, when most of this world is beautiful and people love each other and this uptick in misery we are seeing is a for-profit stew that’s now metastasizing.

THE SHELF-LIFE OF ANCHORHACK$: A Deeper Look at the Resumes of Scamalot... by heidi siegmund cuda, aka @maewestside
In trying to ascertain why gungy grifter$ cling so close to the Real Fake President that it’s unseamly and unmanly, I finally zeroed in on the malignant trumpery afoot: many of the Diarrhea Tweeta’s cozyboy$ have one thing in common: they’re anchorhack$… former, current and some so vainglorious they’ll say anything for Vichy MSM FaceTime. 
Among the “Conservative Talk Show Hosts” of the inner circle jerks of Scamalot:
Mike “Devotional Gaze” Pence
The VP became uber churchy after two failed political runs, one featuring an ad campaign that revealed himself to be a bigot, and it wasn’t until he picked up a radio microphone and became the calm voice of bigotry and misogyny that a career was born. Freepress sources in Indiana tell me the churchy bit became amplified after an evangelical$ bailout over a bunk family oil deal (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2006/10/1/252402/-). Until being selected to run as VP of Scamalot, Pence was on his way out as Indianans had had enough of hi$ churchy routine. Jane Mayer of the New Yorker likens his “devotional gaze” directed at the Real Fake President as a look usually reserved for first ladies.
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/mike-pence-talk-radio-225855
Sam “Weird Science” Clovis
Another wannabe politician who failed in his run for Iowa State Treasurer in 2014, Clovis had built a loopy fringe following through his conservative radio talkshow, “Impact With Sam Clovis,” where he espoused the usual info$lime found in bigoted pockets of AM radio. Clovis, not only hosted a radio show, he also blogged racist bull jive about President Barack Obama, and although he claims to be an academic, his writings reveal a tosser who calls climate change junk science and opines that legalizing same sex marriages could lead to nefarious chicanery. Now that it’s been outed Clovis talked to the Feebs about his role in RussiaGate, he withdrew his nomination for a position a grifter like he had no business being considered for in the first place: the Department of Agriculture’s chief scientist. To be sure, an anchor fomenter denier is some kinda weird science. Add sketchy to the resume and pffft.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-appointee-sam-clovis-was-a-birther-called-eric-holder-a-racist-black
Anthony “Ten Day$ of Infamy” Scaramucci
Aside from sperience at Goldman Sachs and “private wealth management,” Scaramucci joined Fox Business Network as a correspondent in 2014. He was fired ten days after his announcement as White House Communications Director. During his brief Scamalot stint, Scaramucci joined such White House talking heads as former Fox & Friends host, Heather Nauert, who currently serves as a spokesanchor for the State Department, and Lara Trump, who debuted her impression of a Fox propagandist for the Real Fake President’s Propaganda TV #sad.
http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2017/08/02/lara_trump_s_debut_as_an_anchor_is_part_fox_news_part_amateur_vlogger_100.html
Steve “Blackbart” Bannon
Anyone who knew Andrew Breitbart says he’d be puking in his grave. Once Bannon, the creeper of #glitteringsteel lulz and Cambridge Analytica, took Mercer’s cash, it was on. After Mercer’s original pick for president, Ted Cruz, flopped, he assigned Creeper Bannon to MeinTrumpf and we all know how well that worked out as the global dom nature of glory hunters blasé blasé. But all you have to do to feel their erstwhile brolove is have a listen to Breitbart Radio to see how flattery directed at MeinTrumpf will get even fringe grifter$ a gig in Scamalot. Below, WaPo’s foxy David Fahrenthold gives a blow by blow of the blowhards hit parade:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/clips-from-breitbart-radio-show-reveal-trumps-relationship-with-stephen-bannon/2016/11/15/5854c606-ab89-11e6-8f19-21a1c65d2043_video.html?utm_term=..4443115d90d0
Sean “Shammity” Hannity
Although Shammity doesn’t hold an official position in Scamalot, the veteran Anchor Hack serves as Chief Apologist. In that position, Shammity not only is fending off pervy accusations of his own, but British government regulators just ruled his infoshow breached impartiality rules. In addition, his creepy coverage of the Roy Moore creeper-circus resulted in Keurig Coffee pulling ads off the Shammity Show today. Although I’m no fan of throwaway living, and prefer a French press with no filter or single use components, I do applaud businesses withdrawing support of veteran dooshe$ who assisted in turning our fathers into bigots (latest count: five advertisers have bailed). 
Remember when the boycotts aimed at his fellow anchor pervs started? Ya, turns out the shelf life on Anchor Hack$ finally expired in 2016 but America’s just batting cleanup.
Keep yacking boyz. You’re burying yourselves.

LYING ON THE RECORD: Agit-Prop$ (Five Big Fib$ of Scamalot)... by heidi siegmund cuda, aka @maewestside
It’s been a great year for lawyers, as the rift in the space and time continuum bot by greedcreeper$ out for an ROI has required a great deal of verbal pingpong. Such inelegant absurdist inaccuracies are crafted by Veteran Rats of the Stone Age, who created the Geezers Playbook of “Deny Deny Deny” for their best boy Tricky Dick, who it turns out really was a dick (see PBS “Vietnam” doc, episode 7, where Nixon commits treason in 1968 by interfering with peace talks until after he’s elected. Bloody hell).
The point being: lawyers—mobbed up lawyers—are being paid to run interference on truth and create absurdist plotpoints, so as to continually point “the base” in the wrong direction, and it don’t take much for these squirrelly bastard$ cuz these times they are a’confusin’.
The collusion of foreign enemies, vichymsm and greed created a perfect storm of fuckery.
So for those who haven’t been following along and for the pleasure of those who have been, here are the Top Five whopper$ told by the lawyer$, advisor$ and coffee boy$ of Scamalot, some of whom have been indicted or pleaded guilty for their crimes against humanity.
ROGER “DENY EVERYTHING” STONE JR.
The original POS, the swell with the Nixon tatt, the auteur of hate. According to those cool cats at Mother Jones, Stone’s motto is the stuff of legend: “Admit nothing, deny everything, launch counterattack.” Charmed, I’m sure.
The biggest lie the erstwhile biz partner of Paul “Manafart” Manafort, hath spake… keep in mind, he’s been stewing in alt-fact$ since LSD was still legal… hmm, let’s go with that time he said Robert Mueller will make shit up to nail the Real Fake President. 
“The special counsel will try to manufacture a crime…” said Stone. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/09/26/roger_stone_mueller_will_manufacture_crime_to_get_manafort_to_say_trump_colluded_with_russians.html
To see/hear just how inane that lie is, view my character timeline on Robert Mueller III to learn about his beautiful mind. https://maewestside.tumblr.com/post/164852333901/your-data-their-greed-cyber-boxing-in-america
In other words, Silent Bob Mueller is not a “make-shit-up” type of guy. But for Stone, lying and breathing is allegedly and by his own admission a two-fer.
PAUL “MANAFART” MANAFORT
The indictments are real, and they’re spectacular. Along with well-documented history of harming citizens in multiple countries by waltzing his penny-loafered arse into the hearts of dictators and running off with the booty, Manafort… allegedly and by his own admission… has been manafarting on democracy for personal gain for decades, and Mueller has the records.
Here’s a big tale told by an id’jot, a bumbling inelegant lie spake on CBS, 7/2016, from the mouth of Manafort, who at the time, was the campaign manager for MeinShit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuJQxij2JA4
Anchor: “So to be clear, Mr. Trump has no financial relationships with any Russian oligarchs.”
Manafort: “Th…that’s what he said, uh, and, that’s what I said, th…that’s obviously what our position is.”
Whatevs.
GEORGE “I LIED TO THE FEEBS” PAPADOPOULOS
On October 5, 2017, the former foreign policy advisor to #Dummkopf45 pleaded guilty to making false statements to FBI agents relating to contacts he had with agents of the Russian persuasion, while working for the Trump campaign.
Oopsy. Guilty. A chorusline of Low Level Coffee Boys now forming, as Scamalot Kollaborator$ fearful lawyers without a conflict of interest are in short supply. Lying to the Feebs is bigly, despite gaslighting attempts by Scamalot to undermine.
MICHAEL “FLYNNSTONEMEN$ & SON” FLYNN
Oopsy. Guility. Hoisted by his own petard. I’ve reached out to Admirals, Generals and other war experts to gain insight into why a celebrated military man would trade his 33 years of service to become a parti$an creep, one who we were warned about prior to his 24-days as #Dummkopf45 National Security Adviser. They. Are. Horrified.
His bigly lie? In December 2017, he pleaded guilty to one felony count of lying to the FBI about contacts he had with the Russian government during the Real Fake President’s transition. And not for nathin, both father and son had a swell time tweeting Real Fake Stories about “Pizzagate” from Russian propaganda sites, pre election.
To be sure, witness Flynn, a former 3-Star General of the United States Army, embarrassing himself profoundly and forever as he encourages venom against a lady leader:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRSxw2KKYVE
As Flynn cuts manafarts with the FBI, it’s clear the only ones who are in danger of being locked up are not the lady leader targeted by the relentless misogyny of Scamalot and its creepy hangeronners, but the Lying Liar$ of Scamalot. Guilty as charged. According to trial lawyer Tracy Green, the Flynn deal is a precision strike by Team Mueller.
“It’s a sign of strength and truly experienced prosecutors that they would have Flynn plead to only one count of false statements because it gives prosecutors flexibility in building their cases against others,” says Green.
MICHAEL “LAWYERS WHO NEED LAWYERS” COHEN
In seeking the most overt untruth by the personal lawyer of the Real Fake President, I went with the lowhanging fruit:
“My reputation was damaged,” said Cohen, to the Senate Intelligence Committee. Lulz.
Cohen is referring to his appearance in the infamous Steele Dossier, and not his confirmed email correspondi with felonious mobster Felix Sater, published in the New York Times, as well as his unrequited email to a Pootain’ flak. 
To be sure, Cohen is in no danger of a besmirched reputation cuz he’s not widely regarded for his ethical stances on behalf of humanity, but he is known for his close ties to Scamalot, the Ukraine and eurotrash mobsters.
http://www.newsweek.com/michael-cohen-trump-personal-lawyer-657344
Next thing you know, video will surface of the Real Fake President pulling wings off flies. His lawyers will call it science.

LIVE! SHOTS! FIRED! Or Each Day I Wake Up Drownin (Ten Ways to Combat the #Bot45 Blues)… by heidi siegmund cuda, aka @maewestside
I once asked a tv reporter in a local market how she handled the sturm und drang of the nightly gore. She said, “Beats being the guy with the machete in his head.”
Point. Well. Taken.
Bleading meant leading, til that one fateful day, the sales guys who’d taken over the front office determined vapidity sold better in the 18 to 49 demo$ than even the quadruple axe murder bits, and by then, new$ had already lost its way. Truth wasn’t factored into the rating$.
LIVE. SHOTS. FIRED.
A famed erstwhile entertainment reporter said she knew there was trouble afoot when each night, she had the lead story in a local hourlong newscast. During sweeps.
As live shots at death scenes and backlots became normcore, and the procession of vapidity, with occasional interludes of gore, is what passed for news, brains suffer dry rot.
So here we are.
MEAN STREETS
While admiring the dewy mug of a very young Harvey Keitel in “Mean Streets,” his enlightened thuggy character Charlie utters these words: “You don’t f**k around with the infinite.”
Do you hear that Scamalot? That’s the thunderous gallop of karma approaching, catching up to each and every player that figgered he could game the system with impunity, while the Great Unwashed was none the wiser. Chaaa.
With the outing of each pervy anchorhack, a Very Vichy MSM, and digital CEO$ who bent over to the pick up the rubles from enemie$ both foreign and domestic while profiting off the mining of our data, things are looking clearer.
Not.
Time keeps on slipping… slipping… slipping… Kochdrip… drip… drip… drip. The Un-Mercer-ful bot and weaponized our data… Churchy Stinklair is buying more local tv new$. Our media is owned by churchy billionaire misanthrope$ and run by corporations.
REAL FAKE NEW$
But let’s make no mistake about it: when Scamalot cries “Fake”… that’s on a whole notha level.
Fringe Media still flatters the Real Fake President because it’s owned and operated by those who installed him as a pukey puppet #burpfarthurl. Fux und Blackbart profited bigly off the ascent of Dummkopf45, but alas, so did the rest of the media which is why it’s swi$hy. Sometimes excellent, but mostly shit. Money vs Truth… a conumdrum.
EACH DAY I WAKE UP DROWNIN’
Having spent the holiday weekend mining the brains of intellectuals, activists and good cooks to combat the blues of our country’s Current State of Fuckery, I’ve comprised a list of Ten Things that may help those who wake up to this shite each day and feel like they’re drowning, i.e., sensitive to the crushing enormity of the labor of Democracy as real fake new$ pounds our shores, while Really Bad Men (and a Few Ponzi Women) disrupt all that is good about our country to line their own pocket$ and the pocket$ of those who put them in power #sad pffft.
TEN THINGS TO PONDER AS YOU BATTLE THE KLEPTOCRACY IDIOCRACY:
1. BACK TO THE FUTURE How to End the Oil + War Economy Now and Clean Up Our Air in About 100 Years: Use Fossil Fuel exclusively for commercial air travel. We’ve known how crushing greenhouse gases are on our environment for decades but we’ve allowed penny loafered lobbyists paid for by Big Oil a seat at the science table. Enough.
2. ELECTRIC AVENUE In two decades, electric cars will be normcore. Start now. Working from home and/or giving up your wheels best thing you can do for the environment; monitoring your own carbon footprint, big step.
3. SEEK REAL NEWS Until the Fourth Estate is Truly Unshackled to Do Good Work Always, Rather Than Just Spotty Sometimes, learn who owns your news outlets. For example, the Guardian is an excellent source for American news (it’s run by a trust and doesn’t need to run truth past the sales dept) and follow our twitter crew at @foxycuda and @tahoesquaw1… while Tahoe curates the critical news from around the world and finds the truth within Vichym MSM, I try to explain its import in verbiage suitable for a postmod CyberRevo. (Thus the comparisons to Charles Dickens and Hunter S. Thompson, for which I am grateful, but also blame Anita Loos, Dorothy Parker and Lenny Bruce for illiciting my pen-to-jugular style.) We are at war for truth and that requires wit in the form of better catchphrases i.e. #treasonsgreetings
4. WE ARE THE SANE MAJORITY We, the Sane Majority, are constantly told our countrymen and women are devolving into apey, when in fact, the Sane Majority is kind, and da small base comprised of the greedy, the churchy, and those who haven’t gotten off their block of un-opportunity. Those numbers are shrinky dinking as truth grows from the concrete street art. But you wouldn’t know cuz it Vichy MSM is still writing puffpieces on Not-Zees and the various Thug$ of Scamalot, while terrifying us with continual closeups of dictators, including our own. Move along. Or just join the Fringe Apey and watch the reboot of “Jersey Shore” as your Democracy burns and more journos die globally whilst trying to warn us of fascism #sad pffft… a better idea: flip the House in 2018 and #nullify45.
5. MAFIA STATE OF MIND Thank you to Tahoesquaw1, who wouldn’t rest until she knew I watched all three Zembla docs on the Fuckery of Dummkopf45 (“The Dangerous Friends of Donald Trump”), and a new doc on the radiation poisoning of UK citizen Alexander Litvinenko (”Hunting the KGB Killers”), whose dying image serves as a reminder that radiation sandwiches are coming if we don’t speak truth to power collectively. I feel compelled to be among the twactivists that remind the kindly people who are being brainwashed by Fux und Blackbart und Churchy Stincklair, that dictator$ and anchorhack$ aren’t our friends. We are combatting evil in the form of well-OIL-ed infotainment amplified by Bots preprogrammed by enemies both foreign and domestic, and it’s leading to a major identity crisis of the churchy, who give pederasts a pass if it serves their tax bracket or real fake narrative. Peel it back and seek the truth. Eyes wide open. 
6. SING TOGETHER Who among you doesn’t have a brazen friend with a guitar? I joined Artivists LA and activist Samuel Curtis for some Resistance Caroling on Black Friday in Santa Monica, and the song we sang “We Shall Not Be Moved,” is still on heavy rotation in my mind, soothing me hourly as I recall revolutions of my youth sparked by peaceful music. Resistance Caroling is good for the soul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX7OW2MJRO0&t=10s
7. BE HAPPY Although many of us haven’t felt joy due to the deranged Pageant Owner in the White House and his sub par toadie$, it’s our duty to manage self care during this time, and that means doing things that bring you some semblance of happiness. I interviewed Dr. David Reiss, one of the 27 mental health experts who authored “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” and he said it’s imperative we manage self-care during these dark days and to never lose site of truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5XGeJ5Y8UI&t=26s
8. BREATHE Please be patient with humanity and remember everybody hurts, sometimes. As battle fatigue sets in for those who can’t believe a Pageant Owner Mobster is still our Real Fake President, despite how much factual information on the corruption from within we spit daily, it takes its toll on fractured nerves. If we divide troops now, we lose. We are the Sane Majority, and we will only win if we invite everyone to the party and keep them there. Even the glory hunters. Practice humility daily and realize those who don’t get it now, will eventually.
9. MOTHER EARTH Give us the keys. Y’all fukcin shit up. Imperative, we mandate the Nosferatu Cabinet of Scamalot to wear branding patches on their sleeves: #bigoil #bigtobacco #bigprison #nra #churchyfuckery #botbymercer #botbykoch #rupertscurvy etc. We can’t allow denier creeper$ to ruin our fragile environmental protections and continue to embarrass us on an international level. We already fought for these protections. GOP becoming the official doosh party poopers of the environment ramped up recently, as billionaires bot lobbyists to run interference on truth using God’s name so they could get one last $wig off the Oil + War economies. (See number one.) Use the system to get Scott Pruitt out of our EPA where he does not belong. And further, use the system to oust all the Real Fake President’s cozyboy$, aka war mongering pals thirsting for arms deal$. Old paradigm dies hard but it’s time.
10. BE DISGUSTED I was horrified to learn by a gal whose grandfather was stiffed by Trump, that many of her peers just think the Meinshit Show is funny. Ya, it’s a “Pussy” riot. Our Real Fake President cozie$ up to his dictator pal$ who kill, incarcerate, poison, torture or have people killed because they can. Go ahead, please remain comfortably numb while waiting for the door knock. Me? I’m gonna remain disgusted so I can continue fighting. Even for those who don’t get it. Especially them.
(Below, the author in Laguna Beach Nov. 2, 2016; last photo before the election. She wants her happiness back.)

PURPOSE RISING: November Reign... by heidi siegmund cuda, aka @maewestside
November 7, 2016: Sunset Strip
Seated in a conference room, high above the Sunset Strip, I surveyed the view. All men, one me, all smiles.
The media company had called me, asked me to work for them, it was a good fit.
They needed a lady exec in their all male sea, and I had the bonafides.
As the two-hour meeting concluded with a tour of the spacious offices and cherry views of my favorite real estate, we chatted about the election and how exciting it was going to be to celebrate our First Lady President. We shook hands, and they told me I’d get a call on Wednesday to discuss salary.
Mein Hombre and I celebrated the next night at Peking Tavern in DTLA, with sushi burritos and fried sesame balls, as we listened to the election night results come in. 
The excitement downtown was palpable, but I was on edge. I was among the few veteran journalists who went public in the months before the election, pushing truth with my pen, unshackled by a corporation, while corporate controlled media was pushing info$pin for rating$. As a student of humanity, I found the uptick in hate on social media suspect, I just knew there wasn’t that much hate in the world. 
I had been told in September that Meintrumpf would win so I used my pen, 24/7 to combat lies, promote truth, battle the misogyny and bigotry that spewed with such great frequency it had become normcore and to fight what I knew to be the gaslighting of an entire nation.
Mein Hombre squeezed my hand as I saw flashes of red from the screen behind me bouncing off the mirrored wall. I can’t watch tv, but I could see the drawn looks on the faces around me. My guy told me, “Don’t worry honey. That’s the early results.”
Well, we all know what happened next. 
The theft of a nation, a fringe coup by mobsters and billionaire misanthrope$, in collusion with foreign enemies, fake pastors humpin for big oil, and a Vichy MSM, which played the MeinShitShow for laugh$, even though it wasn’t funny.
Wednesday came and I never got the call. I knew that room full of men no longer needed to check the box that they had a lady exec on their team. They could all go back to staring at each other around that big conference table, as he-mans women haterz clubs throughout the land were given a reprieve from entering modern times.
Pfffft. 
See, middle-aged women were thought to be unpopular before November 8, 2016. We were figgered for less popular on November 9. But a funny thing happened to that false narrative. 
We resisted.
By January 21, 2017, the day of the Women’s March, it became clear women were no longer going to be poor relations in their own Democracy.
We gals and the men who love and support us outed the pervy anchor hack$, outed the now-indicted mobsters who keep #manafarting on the world for profit, decade after decade. We outed the bigot$, and the denier phonie$, we outed the criminals and the oligarchs, and we proved our case: #bot45 #sad lulz.
So as it turns out, women do rate. We’ve seen the lady who was supposed to be Madam President show us what class looks like in treasonous times and how to hold one’s head up high like a real leader. 
And we’ve seen what déclassé looks like: Robert Mercer, Rupert Murdoch and Pootain’ all looking pretty dooshy, as they bet their greed on the wrong Pageant Queen, you know, cuz sanctions and tax cuts blasé blasé. LOL mofo$, cuz anyone who aided in getting #bot45 elected is now an accessory to his crimes against humanity and overall dooshiness.
Owning our data and with it, thought control, was the billonaire backup plan to a wobbly oil + war economy. And as we worked hard to out cybertreason, the #roi on data fuckery is now looking sketch as well. 
As our twacktivist crew has proven, the progress that people died for decade after decade cannot be unwound by a few wee greedymen. 
And now November 8, 2017, a year after the rift in the time space continuum that allowed cypertreason to mess with our country’s dignity, anyone who normalized the Real Fake President and his hackstaff is permanently unbankable, except of course on BotTV and Russia.
That’s right. Cuz we persist.
