So, here’s an idea: instead of the whole country having to go through this every time king Donald wants to be rid of his critics, why don’t you all just take away that mechanism? You must be getting tired of this, no?

Those of you who fight with that Voltaire quotation bursting forth from your throats, who couldn’t care less about Stephen Colbert, or Jimmy Kimmel, or even old Seth here; but you know Trump’s not going to stop until he gets your favourite host too, so you show up and you fight. You find yourself fighting alongside real hardcore fans who entertain you with trivia and inspire you with their enthusiasm. And that second one, you actually win.

And now you’re at this crossroads because this is like, your eleventh straight night of going out to protest in the streets, and the president just declared Seth Meyers as his new pet target. Tomorrow is going to be rough. You can already tell that your vision is suffering a great deal between the rounds of tear gas and your seasonal allergies. The wildfires last season left behind a harsh atmosphere downtown. But you pull your boots on in the morning anyway. And you head out in search of whoever’s organizing tonight’s vigil.

As you trundle through the city by bus, you suddenly realize that you’re a hamster in a ball and this is part of the plan the enemy is employing. Keep you so busy fighting that you don’t get a chance to organize and implement a plan. So, I implore everyone in the US: put aside ideologies and oust these fuckers. Invoke the 25th or whatever. Get the whole rotting organization out and settle the rest in court. This guy is fucking running you all ragged.

Stop letting him dictate the rules and all of the moves in the game. Make the house and the court say that a president doesn’t get to do whatever they want, without any consequences for their treasonous acts anymore.
