Rep. Schiff’s comment, “bring your felon to work day,” made me laugh. A laugh is much appreciated these days.

George Conway emphasizes the best way to address Trump is not a gloom and doom approach but make fun of him and continue doing so.

However, I think in making fun of him, the jab has to point out things that are beyond opinion. Like bring a felon to work day. Maybe, senate votes against reproductive rights...vote against women, day. Or votes against Ukraine aid...a vote against freedom. Or maybe better yet, a vote for WWIII. Or a vote for Russian becoming our national language, day. Or a show of Republicans at Trump's trial as a...sow doubt in our justice system before it focuses on me, day.

Making fun of Trump's foibles... is unkind...though I understand and am repulsed by him.

But he responds to mocking faster than anything else. He cannot abide it at all.

keep calling him a whiner.

Make a poster with these words. Put it where everyone can see it. You don’t even need to use his name. Everyone will know who you’re talking about!

Suck it up,

Get over it,

Grow a pair,

Quit whining,

And Grow the f* up!

Solange, calling Trump a whiner is a correct action. He talks and acts like a toddler, so we can expect whining, blubbering about things that don't make sense, and bullying. Toddlers with bad parenting do these things and somehow do not grow out of them because they worked so well when they were a child.

At this point it's not about him. it's about his followers but more importantly it's about the people on the margins of Republicanism and of the Independents

...sow doubt in our justice system before it focuses on me, day. That is the name of the game. Destroy all trust in our institutions so a demagogue can fix everything.

How about neither of those? Making fun of Trump persuades no one in the MAGA camp to change his or her mind, and re-energizes many.

The gloom and doom democrats need to somehow shake off their despondency, join an organized effort by joining a Get Out The Vote organization. Working to get Biden and your favorite down ballot candidate elected is the best tonic. If every gloomy democrat volunteered, we would have a landslide election.

it is not the MAGA camp that we need to influence. it's the fringe Republicans and the independents.

I didn’t mention influencing MAGA. I said jokes about MAGA seems to energize them to vote. We don’t want to motivate them.

Looks like our biggest problem is public education about how government actually works, in reality, and how it affects individuals. If and when we can start talking about policies and programs, how they work how they affect us we can bring the whole matter into an actual dialogue. Because what so many are doing is falling into the mock and mocking trap, as you point out. So many people do not understand what Biden has actually done, is doing and will do that helps everybody. Also with our mocking we are feeding the media characterizations that avoid real discussion. One supposedly easy

topic could be how quickly the Port of Baltimore was reopened within 100 days with the cooperation of every level of government, and all the planning, management, cooperating ideas etc that go into that. And of course how it helps people in general such as "The truck you ordered is coming in faster now because the boats can reach the harbors." Also with our mocking we are feeding the media characterizations that avoid real discussion.

The endless Republican obstructions for the sake of what is thought of as winning for one side only is so utterly ridiculous. And on...

And on...

I couldn’t agree with you more. With, as an example, the Port of Baltimore, the different kind of experience, technical skills, management skills, project planning and coordination, logistics, and the on-site hands-on leadership—and the day it opens and you hear a dozen yahoos on a dozen different topics try to cap an argument with, “when was the last time the government ever did anything right?”

Christopher, I love the idea of pointing out Trump's let's say, inadequacies on a regular basis. People need to be jarred out of complacency and the fear that November will be the breaking point of our democracy. We don't have to let that happen. Trump is failing under the weight of dementia. So many people know it, particularly h is handlers, but they are scared they won't have anyone else to tie themselves to if Trump is officially set aside by the Republican Party, as he ought to be. Instead of acknowledging the truth, they try to paint Biden as the one who is failing, simply not true, but lying works so well for Republicans these days, lying as easily as opening their mouths.

Mine too, a first for Friday laugh! Albeit on a ‘no laughing matter’.

Patheticism: Such is the whole charade , daily misinformation, mismoves, miscalculation, miscarriage of duties, the MAGA/GOP goalposts.

Aye!….More The Emperor Has No Clothes sequel after sequel the PR eludes to sycophants pushing to get in front first kissing the Emperor’s ring feigning adulation..the world watches in quiet disdain .

The vindication spectacle of buffoonery , - folly of fools, a bitter bully losing his grip . The expected feeling sorry for him -🗣️send donations all-part of the ploy , suckered over and over, perfect pons, desperate for stealing any adoration he can get with small little hands grabbing for approval.

Meanwhile back at HQ Biden deals with the still flowing chaos, family issues too many face, and runs the country with honorable character continuum.

The contrast is a BOLD DISPLAY…anyone still on the fence?

💙💙VOTE ALL THE COMPLICIT OUT💙💙

Kyle, who?

It’s a fear we have invited by allowing the ‘thems’ to ‘get away with it. Gun control, botched impeachment, resignation by Nixon, please folks feel free to add to this list, I will save space. And everyone who sits on their ‘conviction’ their vote doesn’t count..let’s not forget them. Part of this was complacency..I am not guilty!

You have to vote to bitch in my world! And I’ve heard a lot of good ideas in a good rant. They can be constructive.

I have lost a child , she was 19, murdered. NO PARENT doesnt suffer..forever.

But for you all , we voting blue…we do so caring to best help EVERYONE. Not just Americans. NO PARENT wants to go through the death of their child. But there’s many who actually raise them essentially for cannon fodder , to maintain control.

Sad.

What a frighteningly sad and atrocious way - or subject matter - upon which we can result to a bit of comic relief … and what makes it so frightening and sad is the stupidity, ignorance, evilness, hatred and lack of virtuous character exhibited by the American voting populace who support this 34-count FELON and those holding elected positions of trust who have enabled him!!!

My Congresswoman, Laurel Lee, of Tampa, received TFG's endorsement. Wow, being endorsed by a convicted felon and failed insurrectionist. This may be a first in this country. I wonder how she will tout this honor.

As we have known since the amoral orange creature occupied the WH, the magas have no shame! Parading the orange bozo through the halls of congress is another attempt to desicrate the home of democracy!
