I have started to do this on a daily basis. I find an overt Trump or GOP supporter and accuse them of destroying humanity with their racist diatribe. It is imperative that we take this to the STREETS and engage them directly, especially if they are with their friends or family. I am thinking of recording all my interactions to prove how easy and effective it is to do.

Very good, indeed.

They handed me a triple bacon cheeseburger with extra onions, sauteed mushrooms, jalapenos, and a side of fries. When I reminded them of what I had ordered, they told me, "This is all that comes with a nothingburger". Let me just say, I probably won't need anything for dinner (but desert, I have to have two scoops).

so they can get cheap video footage to play later on Hardball, Rachel etc in the evening...because we all know that with tRump, anything you hear in the morning is going to be much worse by 4pm when the NYT/WP/WSJ drops their latest investigative bombshell.

Here are handy excuses for Trump backers:

1. Everyone does it.
2. What about Hillary Clinton's emails?
3. A President can't keep track of everything his staff does.
4. The press is blowing the whole thing up.
5. Whatever Trump did was for national security.
6. The Democrats are sore because they lost the election.
7. Are you really going to believe a rat like Jim Comey or the President of the United States?
8. Wait till all the facts come out.
9. What about Hillary Clinton's emails?
10. If you impeach Trump, you get Pence.
11. The only thing wrong about the Russia hacking story is it got leaked to the press.
12. What about Susan Rice unmasking individuals in NSA reports?
13. It happens in Europe all the time.
14. People would be against Trump no matter what he did.
15. I'd rather have a Russian puppet in the White House than a nasty woman.
16. Democrats used to meet with Russian officials all the time.
17. What's the big deal about finding out what your opposition is up to?
18. The President was too inexperienced in politics to know what was going on.
19. What about Hillary Clinton's emails?
20. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
21. Hillary Clinton would have lost anyways.
22. Maybe Jared Kushner went a little too far, but he was just an eager kid.
23. I'm not for breaking the law, but sometimes you have to do it to save the country.
24. Trump made a mistake. He's only human.
25. Do you realize what the Russian hacking scandal is doing to our fight against terrorism?
26. What about Bill Clinton and Whitewater?
27. Barack Obama did a lot worse things.
28. I'm sick and tired of hearing about the Russian hacking story and so is everybody else.
29. This thing should be tried in the courts and not on television.
30. When Trump gives his explanation of what happened, there are going to be a lot of people in this country with egg on their faces.
31. My country, right or wrong.
32. What about Hillary Clinton's emails?
33. I think the people who make all the fuss about the Russian hacking story should be shot.
34. If Democrats had the same contacts with Russia, they would have done the same thing.
35. I never trusted Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort to start with.
36. If you say one more word about the Russian hacking story, I'll punch you in the nose.
A. If the person is bigger than you: "If you say one more word about the Russian hacking story, I'm leaving this house."
B. If it's your own house and the person is bigger than you: "What about Hillary Clinton's emails?"
