A reminder as some are re-reading "1984":

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”

Ever notice how the goal posts the Republicans use have swivel casters on the bottom?

If we play their game, we should realize by now that even if we absolutely positively say or do what they said was necessary to earn their approval and support, they will roll the goal posts back --- or sideways --- and sneer at our good faith effort.

Until we are in a position to dictate the terms, attempts to "work with" those now in power are a waste of time and resources.

Heads down, shoulders to the wheel, eyes on the prize. REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!
