With Trump's own words & actions, a growing media-savy army of ad writers, & a Country directly staring down Trump's lies & corruption, the strategy is a successful approach for November.
Who would have believed that the best strategy to beat Trump was to do nothin

David Crosby Calls For Pro-Biden Benefit Featuring Bruce Springsteen, CSNY, The Eagles, Jackson Browne

David Crosby is calling for a benefit supporting Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden that would feature Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Crosby Stills, Nash & Young, The Eagles, Jackson Browne and other artists.
Crosby, 78, floated the idea during a series of Tweets on Sunday. There was no immediate response from any of the artists he mentioned, and no evidence that the concert was being planned.
Still, there are nearly five months before the election.
SNIP
Crosby said CSNY should be out performing Young’s “Let’s Impeach the President” every night to condemn Donald Trump, who was impeached in December when the House of Representatives approved articles of impeachment on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Now, more than 120,000 Americans have died of coronavirus, more than 36 million are unemployed and there is widespread social unrest after the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.
Young originally wrote the song about George W. Bush in the wake of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
----------
Perhaps Young could edit the lyrics to fit Trump's war on America's own citizens..
What a cool concert from these icons of music, who have seen it all before. 🍃

"Lonesome Loser" is a 1979 song written by David Briggs and performed by Australian rock music group Little River Band.
Lyrics
Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser?
Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time.
Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser?
He's a loser but he still keeps on trying.
Sit down, take a look at yourself
Don't you want to be somebody?
Someday somebody's gonna see inside
You have to face up, you can't run and hide.
Unlucky at love at least that's what they say
He lost his head and he gambled his heart away
He still keeps searching though there's nothing left
Staked his heart and lost, now he has to pay the cost
Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser?
Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time.
Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser?
He's a loser but he still keeps on trying.
"It's okay." he smiles and says
But this loneliness is driving him crazy.
He don't show what goes on in his head
But if you watch very close you'll see it all
Sit down, take a look at yourself
Don't you want to be somebody?
Someday somebody's gonna see inside
You have to face up, you can't run and hide.
Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser?
Now tell me have you heard about the Lonesome Loser?

Tianenman Square as well as the continued protest against the unresolved aparthied of S.Africa.
The global protesting against brutal dictatorships, on behalf of free societies plays out in each generation.
Credit the political generations who came before in guiding the next in righteous purpose .
It is a duty to the societies that will follow.
Thank you. Mary Jo Laupp for passing the political torch to the next generation & directing them how to succeed in their efforts.

A 51-year-old Iowa woman has led an effort get President Donald Trump to address an empty auditorium when he speaks at a campaign rally next week.
Mary Jo Laupp posted a video on video sharing platform TikTok last week encouraging her followers to register for Trump’s campaign rally in Oklahoma and then not attend. The plan is designed to purchase as many tickets as possible, forcing the president to address a largely empty auditorium on June 20.
“All of those of us that want to see this 19,000 seat auditorium barely filled or completely empty go reserve tickets now and leave him standing alone there on the stage,” Laupp told her TikTok followers.

Can anyone Identify this ?
My daughter sent it asking what it is & after all my years in the business, I honestly do not know this one.
Irs baffeling.
Usually one can i.d. the plant/leaves or the flower if there's a question.
But not this one!
What is this?
She saw on her walking path, by a lake in Nebraska.
A couple things come to mind but nothing fits both the flower or the plant.
Thanks!!

Cooper's statement, from NBC:
"Christian Cooper ~ " America must deal with its racial bias, starting at the top. That's why I'm backing Joe Biden.
The leader of a country sets the tone for its people. It time for a president who has the capacity for growth and change, so we can heal and evolve."
