... do a running narrative of a guilty verdict with Trump being forcibly removed from the White House -- just like the scene in the movie when Nurse Ratched refused to turn on the TV for the World Series.

It was an act of defiant spirit, and determination to RESIST.

We need to hold onto that spirit and determination through the November election, and beyond.

Then, at long last, we truly will have something to cheer about.
