To: a little elbow grease
This woman goes to a lefty/resist protest march with her daughter. She's leaving after the march and has car trouble.

(snip) ---

Before I could do anything but park my gray Prius, a man rushed over. "I heard you coming down that road," he said. Before I could say much he started surveying the situation. He didn’t so much offer to help us as get right to work.

It turned out that I hadn’t blown a tire; a huge piece of plastic under the front bumper had come loose, causing the screeching as it scraped along the road. After determining that he couldn’t cut the plastic off, he ran over to his car to grab some zip ties so that he could secure the piece back in place.

He did all of this so quickly that I didn’t have time to grab the prominent RESIST sticker on the side of my car, which suddenly felt needlessly alienating. As this man lay on the ground under my car with his miracle zip ties, I asked if he thought they would hold for four more hours of driving.

"Just ask any redneck like me what you can do with zip ties — well, zip ties and duct tape. You can solve almost any car problem. You’ll get home safe," he said, turning to his teenage son standing nearby. "You can say that again," his son agreed.

The whole interaction lasted 10 minutes, tops. Katherine and I made it home safely.

If only duct tape and zip ties could fix the rattled, weak minds of these sick Donald Trump haters........... life would be so much better.

Duct tape over their mouths and zip ties around their necks would be a good start

This lady doesn't get it.

Like this good ole' boy, this is what we do in Trumplandia, we may not brag about it and or get kudos, but we fit things, President Donald J. Trump fixes things.

This is what is maddening. DC is so broke and never fixes anything as they give us a 3-card-monty of pay not attention to the man behind the curtain as everything was moving towards a state of collapse.

Does she get the life her daughter who have inherited with 8 more years of this crap?

In the last 28 years what got fixed?
* Immigration?
* A broken trade system were we take it you know were and loose jobs?
* A tax system that sent capital overseas?
* The festering wound of the Norks that was a giant kick the can down the road?
* Healthcare? oh that one worked out real well, it should have came with a hold my beer alert...

And that is a 15 second off the top of my head analysis.

I am so sick of our fellow citizens that have no idea of how good they got it...
