get up and ask - "Mr. trump, how soon will you be sending crews over to the Statue of Liberty to chisel off the plaque on the front of the pedestal - the one that says "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." ? How soon will you be doing that, to underscore your new closed-door policies?"

At EVERY step, I would like to see embarrassing and uncomfortable questions asked - that are net losers for the trump side, making them look bad, making them look UN-American, making them look traitorous and treasonous to our Constitution.

Make them look BAD. Stir shit up. Pick at the scabs til they break open and ooze and get infected. Underscore - obviously and subtly - how harmful, unconstitutional, and literally anti-American and UN-American and utterly DAMAGING their policies are. Cast them in a bad light. Infer negative things. Accentuate the negative. Start casting these policies in a VERY bad and unfavorable light. Weaken their resolve AND public support. Start fomenting doubt that these cockamamie ideas of the trump people make any sense at all.

Chip away, people. Chip away. Anywhere you find an "in."

I wrote something here quite awhile ago whose title as I recall was "think termites." THINK TERMITES. What would termites do?
