#WomensMarch for Justice: Jan. 18, 2020

Four years ago, a racist, sexist, ignorant, inflammatory, selfish and self-centered man was elected president of the United States.

Millions of women and their allies took to the streets across the country for the first Women’s March and other protests.

Some of us haven’t stopped protesting because while he has been impeached by the US House of Representatives, the Senate has to vote to remove him.

As far as I’m concerned, the VP should be removed along with the President as well as his Attorney General — and they should all be thrown in jail to join a number of other cronies of the current president that Axios lists as:

• Former Trump 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort: Sentenced to 7.5 years in prison this March for bank and tax fraud and crimes related to his work as a political consultant in Ukraine.
• Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen: Received a three-year prison sentence in Dec. 2018 for tax evasion, bank fraud, lying to Congress and campaign finance violations.
• Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos: Convicted of lying to investigators about about Russian contacts. He served 12 days in prison and in October, filed to run for former Rep. Katie Hill’s California seat.
• Richard Pinedo: The California man was sentenced to six months in prison in Oct. 2018 for selling bank account numbers to Russians who engaged in election interference. He has no known connection to Trump.
• Dutch attorney Alex van der Zwaan: Pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about his work for law firm Skadden, Arps, Meagher, & Flom LLP and Affiliates in 2012. He was sentenced to 30 days in prison and a $20,000 fine.
• Ex-Trump campaign deputy chairman Rick Gates: Pleaded guilty in Feb. 2018 to conspiracy and lying to the FBI. After cooperating extensively in multiple investigations, Gates was sentenced in December to 45 days in jail, three years of probation and 300 hours of community service.

Awaiting sentencing:

• Former national security adviser Michael Flynn: The retired three-star general pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in Dec. 2017. He will be sentenced on Jan. 28.
• Roger Stone: Convicted of obstruction, giving false statements to a House committee and witness tampering. He also lied to Congress about his efforts to learn more about when WikiLeaks would publish damaging emails about 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The next Women’s March is tomorrow Sat. Jan. 18, 2020 all over the country.

I’ll be there in hot pink with a hot pink pussy hat on. Here’s why:

• As a woman and as a survivor of sexual assault, it terrifies me that he has bragged about sexual assault.
• As a taxpayer, it shocks me that he has bragged about not paying taxes.
• As a citizen, I see that his billionaire cabinet selections lack the qualifications necessary to carry out their tasks.
• As a graduate in Environmental Studies and an EcoPsychologist, I am afraid of his claims that climate change is a hoax.
• As a college teacher, it appalls me that he was fined $25 million because of his fraudulent university– and even more appalled that he still made millions on that deal.
• As an artist, I am disappointed that he has threatened to dismantle the National Endowment for the Arts.
• As a wildlife biologist, I am scared that we will lose more of the species that share this planet with us.
• And this just scrapes the surface of the turd that is stuck on our shoes until he is impeached, or he quits.
