If true lots of efforts have been sadly misplaced – anything NatSec that includes his name most likely does not sound good to the man, the more his name appears the worse, which inevitably triggers the 3:00AM twitterstorm, which makes things further worse, and on and on and on.

There is only ONE way we can stop Trump Madness:
Go to the Post Office and buy a stack of plain, pre-paid postcards at 38 cents each. Make a list of your House Rep’s and Senators’ addresses. The US Congress may not log all e-mails or phone calls (they probably keep a running talley) and phones are usually answered by volunteers or interns. A sealed letter can be held up while it is checked for anthrax or whatever but postcards sail right thru and they’ll have a handwritten hard copy of your opinions. At 38 cents you can send a lot of opinions they have to deal with.
Run for office- if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.
Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, then we’ll redraw Congressional Districts. Get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST!
Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one.
Overturn any voter ID laws the are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise. Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November.

Heard a virulent pro-trumped on NPR this morning saying this is all no big deal, and excusing it all by saying he’s an inexperienced president and adding that his inexperience (being outside of the “swamp”) was why he was elected. This blowhard was followed by some guy from Newsmax, so I didn’t get to hear any common sense rebuttal, but it seems to me that if you have an inexperienced president he needs people who know how things work AND he needs to listen to them. It seems there are very few key people in the Trump administration who know how things work and he listens to NONE of them.
Remember how the W Bush admin blamed 9/11 on Clinton and the fact that they couldn’t be expected to know what to do when Bush had only been in office for less than 8 months. Conservatives do this all the time–they claim that running education, or the military, or the EPA, or the government is easy (so throw out those pro-government Democrats) and then ask for more time and money when nothing they do works. And their followers agree with them that no one could have possibly known how any of that stuff works. No one except a Democrat, that is!

I believe that is a defining characteristic of children. Fortunately, I never tired of reading Dr Seuss to my kids, especially Green Eggs and Ham. I really wish Alberta Ted Cruz had not read it to the Senate.

It’s a race to the bottom but I’ve always thought Eric was the dumbest.
@stradivarius50t3 - I have saved a stack of books that I read over and over and over so many times that I can still recite them by rote. That hour of reading each and every night was some of the most precious time of my life…

Since Trump evidently blows off the Daily Briefing or only half pays attention, here’s a suggestion. Video the Daily Briefing in round table format in multiple segments. When Trump watches Fox and Friends in the morning, delete out the commercials and put these snippets in their place so he’ll pay attention. Make sure at least one of the commenters is a woman in a tight fitting dress with a plunging neckline and great legs. Use wide eyes and breathless voices. (Open the hanger, here comes the airplane!)
They could also insert some highly entertaining and informative animated bits on the role of the president, the three branches of government, and maybe some basic stuff on laws and the acceptable handling of classified material. They could stick his cartoon character self into these to keep his attention.

Add to your list faxzero.com or similar free fax service (got that one here at TPM - they’ve got the numbers and names for your elected reps already - thank you!). Just send a short message on the cover sheet or pdf a full letter and attach. Faxes always get through and they have to log them.
