A quick search on Amazon shows me results for 24ft telescoping arms + adapters for spray cans -- I can easily foresee a near future where some brave soul takes it upon themselves to desecrate Donald's humiliation shroud in front of the Kennedy Center.

A bold, high-viz paint saying something like "Trump is in the Epstein Files" and that tarp will come down real quick -- at least long enough for the pictures to be posted in every corner of the internet.

Nothing the current Lead Weenies™️are doing should give any of us confidence that they understand, let alone have the stomach for, the necessary decontamination and systemic disinfection the country will require following the end of the soon-to-be-former Trump Super Fund Administration™️. It's frankly disqualifying. Thanks to Rep. Beatty, and Pritzker, and Ossoff, and a handful of others (even Newsom, God help us), we know a few of our electeds aren't completely flaccid and feckless. I personally think it's too late for the USofA, but I would love to be proved wrong. (I don't think I will be.)

Democrats MUST figure out how to get more of the coin of the realm, attention. For instance who has seen even once on the regular news reports or pictures of Trump falling asleep all the time? In the run up to the UFC event the Dems in the house could have started up a publicized pool to bet on how soon Trump would fall asleep during the fight. Find inventive ways to make fun of Trump and humiliate him. Where is Jefferies showing an image of the green reflecting pool compared to famous green things, the Hulk, Kermit the Frog? Jimmy Kimmel can't do all the heavy lifting.

Trump has exposed the consequences for a democracy when you have a misinformed and uninformed electorate. 40 years of well-financed anti-democratic propaganda reached its apotheosis in 2016. Trump is the demented opportunist who grabbed the presidency and its swollen powers.

Jennifer Welch argues that we should create a museum to this moment and show the acts of the capitulators and perpetrators on a loop so they can never escape the shame. I'm on board with any and all of the above as long as the people who supported this never get to come back into regular society

Excellent Thank you Brian. "We should not make arguments that suggest resuming the war is better than surrendering, but we shouldn’t spare him the taunting either."

Once again, great write up Brian but also once again, it makes me want to scream with disappointment and rage.

We are ~5 months from an election, hopefully, and Democrats for the most part seem to hope that there’s a third option to “The Trumps and the people who’ve foisted him on us can see the two endgames with perfect clarity: triumph or eternal disgrace.” One where they hope that it all just sort of works itself out without them having to do any heavy lifting.

Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg have recently answered questions on the tearing down the ballroom. Neither said "yes" or "no," but both talked about how we should build not destroy. So I think I see how this will proceed. SOURCE: News of the United States (NOTUS)

Those same people say “we should look forward, not back”.

This country will not withstand another ‘let’s move on’ Dem administration if they’re lucky enough to win an election. The following Republican takeover will finish what this evil regime has started.

Only related to the footnote — less said because it was bad or because you want no spoilers revealed? I was looking forward to it!

I was too! Now I'm not so sure.
