Mike 03's JournalThe Deplorables might not read such a book, but...
if your ideas could be reduced to a series of ads, some of it might sink in.
About a month ago Howard Stern directly addressed the Deplorables in his audience (and they are there) when he told them that Trump despises them, and that if they were to go to Mar-A-Lago they wouldn't see anyone who looks like them. Then he told them that he hopes they drink bleach and die.
I'd leave that last part out, but essentially let them know that Trump hates their guts and would be embarrassed to be seen with them in public.
And all this time we thought Pompeo was a "true believer"
From the NYT:

Be still my heart
Mr. Trump did not seem to know, for example, that Britain is a nuclear power and asked if Finland is part of Russia, Mr. Bolton writes. He came closer to withdrawing the United States from NATO than previously known. Even top advisers who position themselves as unswervingly loyal mock him behind his back. During Mr. Trumps 2018 meeting with North Koreas leader, according to the book, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slipped Mr. Bolton a note disparaging the president, saying, He is so full of shit.

Worthwhile article.
We'd be foolish beyond belief not to use the mounting evidence of physical and psychological impairments against this president, just as he will attempt to use far, far less evidence against our candidate. I imagine the Lincoln Project or Mike Bloomberg could do something with this. And it's not like this is the only article. There are hundreds of articles by doctors and psychiatrists (all reputable) making this case.
It does, completely.
Republicans are trying to amass as much money and power as possible before society breaks down from global warming (which they secretly believe in but don't want others to believe in) and civil unrest. They think they can "ride it out" while the rest of the world destroys itself.
We need to create an environment where good officers don't even want to be
near bad cops. Somehow we need to incentivize good cops to turn in bad cops. The unions often stand in the way of that, as you point out, by creating an environment where they run to the defense of bad officers and shame anyone who criticizes law enforcement, no matter how bad what they've done is.
Instead of there being repercussions and stigmatization for turning a bad cop in, there should be rewards for turning a bad cop in.
The Grumpy Princess sings a song for Trump: "You're an Asshole"
This is actually from 2017, but it's funny.
It's daunting to think about.
Biden should do one gigantic Executive Order that simply undoes all of Trump's EOs rather than deal with them one by one. That will save him precious months of work.
What he does all day
According to the NYT and Fire and Fury:
Seven hours of TV watching before he leaves his bedroom. (approx 4 am to 11 am)

Early afternoon: Lunch
?
6 PMish: Retire to his bedroom to eat fast food and watch TV an use an unsecured cell phone to call loyal friends and foreign dictators.
