rise to the moment

attention anyone in a position to stand up to donnie!

rise to the moment.


america is fed up with donnie. whatever the views may have been in november, *everyone* who didn't vote for him now hates him, and many of the people who did vote for him are deeply disappointed, if not in shock or dismay. of all my business contacts, exactly *zero* are pleased with the present situation, and they all blame donnie.

the time is now to stand up to him. there is a *huge* appetite now in america for resistance. cory booker saw this and rose to the moment, taking a figurative and literal stand against donnie and his criminal gang of incompetents. and his already bright star is shooting higher as a result. america wants more of this, much more.

rise to the moment.

if you're a university and donnie tries to shake you down for money or free services, fight him tooth and nail. sue him, take him to court, challenge everything he does. do not cave and trust that a convicted felon and the most prolific liar in history will be a man of his word and leave you alone if only you please him.

rise to the moment.

if you're a law firm and donnie tries to shake you down for money or free services, show america that you're not a terrible negotiator and that you're not afraid to take on a monster like donnie. show america how to stand up to bullies and fight for your rights. of all businesses, surely a law firm should be most inclined to litigate to protect its interest. no one will respect you after you cave, least of all donnie. grow a spine. fight!

rise to the moment.

if you're a billionaire concerned about the increasingly toxic business environment, go out and buy a media outlet and start changing the narrative and restoring journalistic integrity. america is hungry for sane reporting that doesn't cover for donnie. we have a convicted criminal in the oval office running the federal government like a mob boss. we need a media who will cover the news like that, rather than sticking to old norms and conventions and courtesies that were earned by a quarter millenium by president acting (to varying degrees) mostly in the national interests, only to be squandered by an evil idiot interested only in amassing a wildly inappropriate amount of power to serve himself and putin.

rise to the moment.

whoever you are, wherever you are, resist. object. fight. challenge. do not accept their terms.


there. are. four. lights.
