You do realize that if anyone actually has an answer to that question, it may be unwise to blurt it out in a public space.
I mean... he could lie about it. Misdirection, when used properly, is an extremely effective tactic.
That's why I added the caveat about if it's something you can discuss openly. I am aware there are plenty of things that one might be doing that you don't talk about outside encrypted channels, and ideally not even then. Just pointing out that just going around mimicing Rattrap is not preparing.
You ask what I'm doing? I wish there was anything I could that I thought would make things change. Unfortunately my life right now (and for the past year) has revolved around my mother who had a stroke 2 years ago and periodic seizures as well as other medical conditions that have basically forced me into early retirement to move her in with me. So basically my life revolves around her leaving little time for much of anything else.
Anyway, you ask me that, but I ask you - what difference would it truly make? For nearly 6 months now it's been a endless cycle of disbelief and outrage but despite all the legal victories that Trump has continued to ignore and the millions of people that protested on the 14th, absolutely nothing has changed and the administration continues to move forward with it's fascist agenda. I seriously doubt even any Supreme Court rulings against him would be obeyed. And what are they going to do if they are ignored? The entirety of Federal law enforcement is snugly in Trump's pocket and he has his own paramilitary force that answers only to him. The gutless geriatric Democrats simply don't have the numbers or the unity to realistically oppose him, and the Republicans have nothing to lose because if elections are suspended they don't have to worry about being re-elected.
What it all comes down to is this is an extended, choreographed political coup engineered by Stephen Miller and nothing I've seen and nothing that has happened since Trump became president has derailed his game plan one inch. It's just been one distraction after another and the American public and press has fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
So, tell me, what exactly have all the outrage and legal battles and protests gotten us? I'd love for you to explain exactly how I'm wrong, but I don't think you can.

Elections won't be suspended, and the simple proof is: republicans are still gerrymandering and voter roll purging. Trump tried sneaking provisions into his funding bill that would functionally allow him to ignore the court; and they've been found and stripped out. The precedent has already been set that the people who've been grabbed off the street and disappeared by ice need to be returned and given due process, on top of which: ICE IS BANKRUPT! Every time the trump regime violates the law, and they are doing that openly, starts a new court case against them, and they; by and large, are losing those cases. The act of creating a paper trail is important.
Yup, he's still supported by the supreme court. yup, he's probably going to get his four years. But the war with iran has "guaranteed" a two term democrat president in 2028, and a blue wave in 26. All that before hundreds of thousands start screaming at him for refusing to fund fema after they've lost their lives and homes to natural disasters. Trump is a lame ******* duck, and months away from being completely powerless. Is it justice? No, he'll do a ridiculous amount of damage before he walks away, but he'll probably die before he walks. Violating the law to send troops to peaceful protests is a sign that we're getting to him.
Trump never should have happened, and in a fair world he would have been stopped by now. You're frustrated and tired because he keeps getting away with new jive; but he's NOT! Government just grinds slowly, too slowly for public opinion even in an emergency. His regime will collapse and fail, his collaborators will eventually find themselves before a judge.
Unplug, watch some cartoons, take care of your mental health. Talk to a therapist. Once trump fails, and he will; he's failed at everything he's ever done, there's a lot of work to fix what he broke, and we would very much like for you to be there when it's time to fix jive.
Edit: I mean, the military has stopped telling trump jive cause he leaks like kegsbreath. Trumps only power right now is the illegal jive he does and the fact that the courts aren't filing contempt charges.

He has been slowed down and the protests are only beginning. His approval rating is underwater. Even dictators can only handle a certain amount of unrest before they topple and Trump is nearing that point. My only hope is we can turn the tide before it devolves into civil war.
While in recovery, Schumer dictated a strongly-worded letter to his water fountain.
wonko's hopium is back!
