Michael and Sarah Walker

keep the RINO. Just put an H in it. A Rhino is a thick skinned, large horned animal that doesn't move for anything and has been around for fifty million years.

That's a considerably fiercer mascot than whatever crawled out of Mar-a-Lago.

That doesn't mean no accountability. There should still be real oversight, reinstate the Inspectors General, put them back under Congress's control, and let them do their jobs. Oversight isn't revenge. Revenge is spending two years trying to erase a president instead of one day trying to fix what he broke.

The other tactic — and this one is truly scary, because it's starting to work on me — is fatigue. I'm tired. You're tired. Everybody's tired, burned out from all the BS. And "so what" is exactly where fatigue leads you. The moment you get there, they've already won. Not because they beat you in court. Because you stopped watching the scoreboard.

Right now, you, the American people, are still in charge. I'm just not sure for how much longer that stays true.

What comes next isn't up to the Democrats. It isn't up to Trump. It isn't up to me, either, bummer. It's up to you.

Choose wisely.

If Donald Trump were impeached and removed from office, there would be no special election and no national debate over his replacement. Under the Constitution, Vice President JD Vance would become President.

So what has Trump actually accomplished in his second term, grand old 47? He's out to dominate the world, not king, but world emperor, and what he's getting back is a redesigned world that feels increasingly comfortable telling him to bugger off. From a global point of view, good going, Donald. Maybe we should keep you in office a bit longer.

On top of that, this stand-up comedian was then elected President of the United States. Can you believe that?

Laughter from the audience is acceptable. It was a good delivery. But maybe a little too close to home for some in the crowd.

Well, I can't get paid as a political commentator, and it doesn't look like I'll make it as a comedian either. So what do I do instead?

Surprise.

That hottie is a bot. Running from a server in Pakistan, Asia, Africa, or Eastern Europe. The praise is robot code. The followers are purchased fiction. And every fake account is making Elon a fortune while making Trump look beloved.

That's how well the slogan is actually working.

This is a post that's going to take on many forms in the months ahead. All I really want to accomplish today is getting you to start asking the same question I'm asking, what do you think we actually need, and to stop listening to the BS in the meantime.

Okay by you?

I've done it many times. It's uncomfortable. It's also the only thing that actually works.

The lies only work when we stop asking questions. Repetition turns lies into perceived truth, but only if nobody pushes back.

Push back.
