Send specialized teams to protest certain Filthy Rich/CEOs and venues where they gather, until they pressure Trump to back-off the insanity - or just go away.
They want him gone anyway.
We should make them.

I recall in the 60s there was a radio PSA-like tip which advised smokers to close their eyes while taking a puff in windy conditions.
You know; actually helpful and relevant.
Today we get “Tell your doctor if you’ve had a liver transplant.”

The rising Sun found me on the patio at -1/30F bundled-up with heated vest, Great Pyrs in the breeze and hot chicory blend, to which I considered adding brandy.
Wife said I don’t have to do nuffin today, so I’m starting early. The carbon Enya could handle the cold.

In 1989, two seemingly impossible things occurred.
The Berlin Wall fell and I watched an episode of I Love Lucy I hadn’t seen before.

Sitting outside in my sister’s backyard before first light.
Next door, due to a damaged fence panel, I noticed a woman who looked like a twenty year-old Susanna Hoffs going about her morning clothed only in the briefest of briefs.
Walk With An E-rec-shun.

My french wife composes in English better than I do.
She will still fracture American idioms, which I (like her former husband) hesitate to correct.
“The things coming out of Trump’s mouth are mind gobbling.”

Sudden, brief unusual 5/10 chest pain. No further signs/symptoms. Probably nothing but I won’t mention to ma femme.
Given a life of self-satisfied mediocrity, my posthumous revelation of truth will likely consist of whatever happens to unmated socks and lost guitar picks.

Btw, you have a french background. Do you know Mille Bornes?
It’s 1000Miles on the App Store.
If you get good, the next time in France you could demonstrate your coup fourré prowess, sandbagging around the circuit.
Until they catch on and deport you.

I’ve never been one for pranks and certainly not vandalism.
Lately, however, I’ve been tempted to change the G to D on a Merge sign.
Probably won’t but I’ve reached the age when I can go out to the mailbox with no pants on.

I can do it solo but another guitar and harmony would make it snap.
Need to update lyrics but I can see it going over well at protest gatherings - while they’re still allowed to exist.

Chatting with my wife’s orthopedic surgeon, I made the observation that orthos have a reputation as the most arrogant and imperious.
He asked if I thought he was arrogant.
Not at all; perhaps the stereotype has changed.
With a side-eye smirk,”It hasn’t.”

Prior to any general strike, there are similar actions which can demonstrate the lever of Ordinary People. Ex:
Choose a day. We agree to not conduct any transactions for ten minutes, at noon.
Repeat and lengthen as needed to make the point.
No messy logistics.
