Kudos for keeping the fighting spirit alive in a media landscape where the so-called Fourth Estate is comprised of mindless armies of corporate sycophants doing their best to extinguish the flame of democracy, shred the Constitution and bury the American dream that so many in generations before us defended with their lives. We’re now facing the necessity of defending the idea of liberty and justice for all in accord with that line in the oath we swore that says “against all enemies foreign and domestic.” You have pointed this out many times. The GOP of Trump is not a legitimate political party anymore than a pile of dog shit is fit to run for the office of president. In case after case it has been demonstrated in courts of law that the GOP has become, as Robert Hubbell has often noted, a “domestic terrorist force” and as such is the enemy of the people and we must now arise in mass to that reality and do our duty as Americans.

In the Order of Battle, our first action should be in the non-violent arena of the November election in which we deploy our ballots metaphorically as artillery rounds, voting Democratic, as per Hubbell, "up and down the ballot,” in our effort to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” If we should fail in that engagement, I fear it could mean hand-to-hand combat in the streets, so we must commit ourselves to the non-violent processes of democratic governance established by the rule of law and return to that vision of unity and "domestic tranquility" envisioned so eloquently by Thomas Jefferson and the other founders.
