This is all chilling information and you have put it out so clearly that no one should be sitting on their hands in this next election. When I hear people say ". . . I'm sitting this one out. . ." I want to scream.

Trump appears to have done more than destroy the "debate", he's shot off his mouth.

Talked too much in more ways than one. Heather is surely not the only one to have picked this up.

DidnтАЩt tfgтАЩs comment about the journalist remind you of the Reagan Iranian hostage release? Talk about тАЬRussia, Russia, RussiaтАЭ! Corruption at the deepest levels.

Yes, and Trump ought to be indicted under the Logan Act.

Don't "want to scream." Correct them bluntly and tell them that is unacceptable to you as a fellow American, and why. You don't have to be rude, but silence or politesse is not an option.

After yesterday, my already very limited patience for this abject nonsense has run out. People appreciate confidence and we need to be projecting that constantly for the next 4.5 months. Absolute smiling lockstep, no exceptions!

We have a duty to all of society, especially it's most vulnerable members, to not allow evil to triumph by doing nothing.

Janis, the very few times IтАЩve heard this, I engage by asking why and have a conversation. I have a homemade sign I carried a several years back at a rally/march in my rural county & I now post it pre-election on my fenceтАжit says тАЬChoosing not to vote is not resistance, itтАЩs surrenderтАЭ. It is a companion to a larger sign (too big to carry) that I painted that says тАЬDemocracy or AutocracyтАФOur ChoiceтАФVote!тАЭ. Passersby usually give me a thumbs-up if IтАЩm out working in the yardтАжthoтАЩ not a lot of traffic in my wee town of 1200 folk!

Those are great ideas and wonderful signs you've put up. thank you. It is always best to engage in person, sometimes that isn't possible but it is the best way when you can make it happen.
