Time for a new approach: When they go low---

kick 'em in the crotch, gouge their eyes and bite off a piece of ear. This "we go high" policy sounds nice, but amounts to taking a casserole to a gun fight.

I'm not advocating anything illegal; just aggressive, smash-mouth politics. They know we can do "civil" and play by the rules. Let's show them we can also play "in your face", loud and rude. Jeez, maybe we could even start interrupting and talking over them both on TV and in Congress. And, "liar", "un-American" and "fascist" are just a few of the terms we should be using openly and often when face to face with the Trump crew.

For the last several years, we've given "nice" a bad name.

We go high
they BRAZEN it out
they WIN and write the bills that destroy our lives.
The ENDS do justify the means if it means keeping
MY mother on her health care and ALIVE.
Others can be satisfied with their moral superority.
