16. OH DEFINITELY attack the bullshit.

And call it that - well, versions of that in the interest of being broadcast-friendly.

Either "B.S.", or "Bull-loney" or just plain "BULL" will work. "Bull-pucky" is another option.

I had a conversation with some Indivisible buddies today while working on our next Call to Action email for the group and friends of the group, and when I said we should start stating flat-out that the reason the GOP is doing nothing about safeguarding our election infrastructure from Russian intervention is that "THEY WANT THAT HELP AGAIN". And I got no arguments or rebuttals or admonishments that "oh, you can't say that..." or "that may be going a little too far..." or "that might be overdoing it..." or "maybe we shouldn't..." NONE. They seemed open to it.

I think it's high time we said what needs to be said. Out loud and in writing and in public. Maybe with a "prove me wrong!" added for good measure.

I'm with Michael Avenatti, who came up with another good one in the clip I saw this morning. He was giving some speech and said Democrats have to stop bringing nail clippers to gun fights. That's a new twist - and a GREAT one. I'd previously used "feather dusters" or "butter knives" rather than "nail clippers." But I love the idea! LOVE IT-LOVE IT-LOVE IT! I absolutely where-have-you-been-all-my-life LOVE it!!!

And he's DAMN RIGHT, DAMMIT!!!
