(#6101) Enduring trump is like solving one problem after another

      I think of the movie The Martian where Matt Damon tells his class how to survive on Mars alone. Just solve one problem, then another, etc...and then you find yourself home. Much like with trump, He is a nonstop causation of problems we have to endure and solve if we are to survive. We have about 1 year remaining of a full on assault of our democracy until we can have another election where his current enablers can be removed from office. Now many out there including me think we may be vulnerable to a rigged midterm election so keep that at the forefront of our thinking for solutions.
     I take a picture of my ballot before returning it so I have a personal record showing how I voted. /Whatever we have to do to insure our votes are counted accurately is our solution. If we vote in such a way as it would be impossible to rig the votes then that is a comfort but we cannot expect that to be. As the trend away from trump is real we cannot become complacent in our vigilance or awareness. Besides our voting we need to keep pressure on the trumps. The coming no kings rally on Saturday is a true force that will shake trump and his followers. The relentless effort to get the epstein files released must not waver. He is petrified of that knowledge going public which is why Adelita Grijalva has not been sworn in to the House yet.
     The more pressure we put on trump the more he shows himself unworthy of our presidency. Even some of his followers are seeing him in a new and disgusted light. We are boxing him into a corner and he cannot find his way out of it except to threaten and coerce. We the people are not shrinking away from his threats because we know that if we don't finally stop him we all will be expendable. This is our rubber meets the road moment and none of us is excused from participating. I will be at our march here in Sacramento even though it is a somewhat physical hardship. What is even worse is not showing up and letting trump off the hook!
