Doing as great as can be expected. :) Good to see you here.

This is what happens when you hire DEI. Instead of picking from the Fox & Friends Weekend show, 47 should have held out for Doocy or Kilmeade.

HOW TO RESIST IMO - Step Nine
MAKE *THEM* STAY ON TOPIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HURTS
An old debate trick is when one side sees they're losing the high ground, they switch subjects, like "What about (fill in the blank)?" MAKE THEM either YIELD the point or keep explaining. It wears them down fast.
I desperately wish for a day when the only thing I'll come online to complain about are my book sales.
Yes, I'd like to be a literary oligarch. Go to www.amazon.com/author/briankmorris and do your part to help me push the evil ones out. I promise to be a good one.
In the immediate future, why do I feel like we're going to have a dictionary entry for "spineless" and we'll see a pic of our closest Democratic representative? www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcIa...

STAY ON TOPIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HURTS
When they realize they're losing an argument, they change the subject to exhaust you. Instead, DEMAND they answer YOUR question to YOUR satisfaction. Turn their trick upon them!
Post from user @acnewsitics 'Alex Cole' states, "If boycotting Tesla is making conservatives buy electric vehicles, I think liberals should start boycotting books next and see if MAGA accidentally discovers reading."
It. Could. Work.

GET TWO SOURCES FOR ALL YOUR RECEIPTS
In ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, editor Ben Bradlee demanded two valid sources for all their reporters. If you hear something ONLY from one source (Fox News, MSNBC, Occupy Democrats, anywhere), it might be propaganda. Be discerning.
HOW TO RESIST IMO - Step Six
ATTACKING IDEAS IS FAIR GAME
Don't attack the messengers, but their messages are highly mockable and debatable. Use your sense of humor (I know, it's difficult these days) and point out the Emperor's clothing could use a good taking in.
HOW TO RESIST IMO - Step Five
MOCKERY SPOKEN HERE
Remember, you're dealing with a number of people who voted because current events give them an excuse to air their bigotry, or they'd trade someone's rights for cheaper eggs (HAH!). WHO CARES if you hurt their feelings?
Aw...shut up, dawg! :)

BRING YOUR OWN RECEIPTS
Just as citing credible sources shoots down their bogus claims, bringing evidence of your rightness is a double whammy below the belt. They can deny reality, but having your proof makes it more difficult for the cultists. Have fun with this one
Dan's got it goin' on! Sin of Empathy, my ass!

HOW TO RESIST IMO - Step Three
ASK FOR PROOF OF THEIR CLAIMS
When they claim that things will get better, or that #47 promised something, don't just challenge them. Make them show receipts.
If you want them to give up the war of wits, this has worked about 95% of the time.
HOW TO RESIST IMO - Step Two
DON'T BE AFRAID TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME OUT
Even a mountain can be worn away by the relentless tide. When it gets to be too much, give yourself a day or two away from social media. Then come back to the fray, a bit more refreshed. It's like a day spa for your soul.
HOW TO RESIST IMO , Step One
DON'T DROP OUT!
The Oligarchal Game relies on you giving up, pulling your heart out of the battle, and hiding your head in the sand. Instead, keep an eye on the news from a trusted source and be ready to challenge the new status quo, one person at a time.
How embarrassing for our country.

Awww...yer da BEST!
Expect more shenanigans. I'm just recharging my batteries so I can help the little people who make things possible, and annoy the big people who make it necessary.
Hope YOU are doing well. <3
Just back from a 6-day vacay in a local hospital to replace an aortic valve. After a little bit of recovery, please expect more malarkey from me and soon.
Now, let's see what you little animals have done with my planet while I've been gone...

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power.
REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!
Your broadcasts helped lift me up during the campaign and it's always good to hear a voice of rebellious reason. We've got our work cut out for us.

Pope Francis said Donald Trump’s plans to impose mass deportations of immigrants would be a “disgrace,” as he weighed in on the incoming U.S. president’s pledges nearly a decade after calling him “not Christian” for wanting to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.
