Donald Trump is our next president, which means Keith’s not going anywhere. Catch every episode of his new GQ show, The Resistance, and then come join the fight.
President-elect Donald J. Trump, expressing lingering skepticism about intelligence assessments of Russian interference in the election, said on Saturday evening, December 31, that he knew “things that other people don’t know” about the hacking, and the information would be revealed “on Tuesday or Wednesday.”
“I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove. So it could be somebody else. And I also know things that other people don’t know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation.”
When asked what he knew that others did not, Mr. Trump demurred, saying only, “You’ll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday.”
Mr. Trump, who does not use email, also advised people to avoid computers when dealing with delicate material.
“It’s very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way, because I’ll tell you what, no computer is safe,” Mr. Trump said.
“I don’t care what they say, no computer is safe,” he added. “I have a boy who’s 10 years old; he can do anything with a computer. You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier.”
Michael Moore’s 5-Point Plan to Combat Trump in 2017
Well-known and loved liberal mind Michael Moore appeared on MSNBC to explain his five-point plan to resist Donald Trump in 2017.
Moore has already made waves several times since the election, most notably with his plan to immediately have Donald Trump impeached, but he has come back to the the public with a level-headed and practical way everyone can move into the new year with a plan – and hope.
Visit your Congressional representative, whether in the House or in the Senate.
(Moore reminds those watching that Congress is in recess, and all representatives will be home.)
Insist that the Democratic National Committee appoint leaders who fall within the progressive spectrum.
Form your very own rapid-response team.
(This is explained as a team made up of neighbors, friends, or family who will be part of a text, call, or Facebook tree designed to prompt immediate response to Trump by contacting representatives, applying social media pressure, etc. The goal? To make sure your voices are heard.)
Plan to be a part of a protest taking place during Trump’s inauguration weekend.
Have a Plan B – as bad as you think it’s going to be, it’s actually going to be worse.
(His behavior since the election, coupled with his cabinet picks have given us a “coming attraction.” Be prepared).

Filmmaker Michael Moore has his own guide on how Americans should resist the policies of Donald Trump, stay vigilant, and what you should be doing in the New Year. Michael Moore joins Lawrence.
The hacky photoshop job created to advertise the event shows just what kind of quality attendees should expect for their $250 tickets.
For those keeping score at home, that’s Trump’s mug and a few fighter jets slapped onto an American flag background over a New York City skyline – a place which overwhelming voted against Trump in the election.
The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress.
The Electoral College consists of 538 electors.
A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Your state’s entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators.
I’m not naive enough to think that they will have a day of ‘profiles in courage‘ and make any significant decision that will ‘right‘ the ‘wrong‘ that is happening in the country.
I know plenty of people who have expressed their feelings.
Many have said … let it go. It’s time to accept and move on.
Give the guy a chance.
In my heart I know I can’t.
In my heart I know this isn’t the right way for the country to go.
It will eventually affect the way the whole world will go.
I’ve tired to put into words the feelings in my heart, my soul, my psyche.
Words fail me.
Scrolling through Facebook, I found some words that resonate to much with my own feelings.
I’d like to share them with you.
These words starkly and precisely say what I felt since November 8, election night.
“I have a right to be angry. I have a right to grieve. I have a right to be scared, and to let that be known. And if my voice makes you uncomfortable, maybe that says more about you than it does about me.”

“I haven’t been fully present since election night. I wander in and out of awareness – floating from one out-of-body experience to the next. It’s hard to be present when everything instantly loses its vibrancy, when the world fades from Technicolor to dystopian black and white overnight, as you’re faced with the stark realization that millions of your countrymen disregarded a presidential candidate’s messages of hate so that they could get to work on, supposedly, tearing down the political establishment.”
