The most effective attacks on trump are downmarket attacks on his sycophants. Show the evil of hagfish or however you spell his name. Go after that hypocrite Vance. Keep jared's corruption in the forefront. Don't let steve millar keep hiding behind the scenes. 

One lesson the dems could learn from trump is his Budweiser approach to campaigning. Bud is very successful at targeting different groups with different messages. trump has done the same. he doesn't worry about the cognitive dissonance because people will just listen to what they want to hear. So don't attack each other, let people listen to the democrats they like.

I've heard people say the democrats shouldn't impeach trump again. I'm of two minds on that one. I think they could say that they believe it will fail in the senate but they want to have the proper hearings mitch denied them last time. I think more and more people are seeing that trump is an unhinged crook. It's just that many of them don't care.

Yeah, it seems not paying your fair share is a badge of honor among the 1% - and the morons who support them.

Christmas has come early for the United States. There's a sense of hope again.

Asking Democrats to 'produce results' with a demented Republican President is akin to naiveté in its greatest form.
Trump will VETO every. single. thing. dems attempt to pass.
Instead of thumping their heads against the wall, my biggest hope is that Democrats keep messaging everyday, succinctly, in laymen's terms about what bill they are proposing that REPUBLICAN Trump will veto. For the next two years, keep tying the REPUBLICAN party to enrichment, corruption, cruelty, and dismissal of the average American.
Democrats can't dismiss Republicans beginning their 2028 election campaign (tomorrow after their hangovers pass) with unrelenting attacks, criticism, culture wars, denial and controlling the narrative as money buys more media. This must not happen again.
Americans often have the attention span of a gnat and Republicans have worked this to perfection. Presenting politics as entertainment is secondary to them. 

With every Sunday news show, every mic, every camera, Dems must keep reminding people of what Trump is vetoing and other bills they are working on. Hound it. Pound it. and indict the entire Republican party for it. Learn from the last 30 years of GOP tactics and stop being afraid of 'offending' someone. Democrats must show
they can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Been staying out of this but following along ever since that you mentioned you had a hard time holding coffee cup.  Got my attention instantly.  Going through something very similar and holding up a coffee cup was the most immediate symptom of somethings going wrong that I had.

Yes, imho, no news is good news.  The wheels fell off my wagon last December when the right side of my body kinda numbed out.  Had 6 MRI's.

I have experienced the same difficulties you have mentioned with one of my bigger problems was grabbing and twisting a door knob to open a door.  It was hard to get my hand to work with my wrist and not hurt.

I have been working hard to recover ever since.  I remember a similar set of circumstances from a car accident and my C -6 was herniated bad.  Did exercise and putting my neck in traction contraption.  Nothing was working.

Massotherapy was next on this list.  It started working and very well actually.  Due to a lot of stuff that ended around 2002 or so.

With this new thing it was time to try again and hope for the same results.  Got a Rx (you need one to a medical level massage)  Was doing fine when she changes her base some 20 miles farther.

We talked and I wasn't driving that so she came up with someone to hand me off to at the office.

My new therapist I was not prepared for.  She said that we were going to do myofascial release.  She asked if knew anything about it and I said that I think I have.

Not even close when she started.  No oil, completely dry for hand traction.  Filled her in the best I could about me and she got started.  This is about pressure points and moving skin and connective tissue around pulling on other parts of the body.  Its much more than that of course.

What you've been waiting for ... It works, really, really good.  She's got my shoulder quieted down so I have two to sleep on without getting woke up in the middle of the night from the joy of an effed up shoulder.  Been about 7 sessions 3 to 5 weeks apart  she has got me working much better.  Last session was right after a nerve stimulus test on both arms.  The tech doing it got an F bomb out of me twice it was so not fun.  Early diagnosis, carpal tunnel in my right hand.  Told my massotherapist about it and she went straight to work doing some things old and some new ones.  Next morning and the relief was amazing.  I could move my thumb without hurting and I'm getting a lot more of my feeling in my thumb and index finger.  My motor skills are off a noticeable bit more. Not as a result of the massage.  Just more stuff falling off the wagon. That has put the impetus on certain things on the list before I can't do them anymore.  Been 11 months to get back this far.

Why go through with the story instead of just recommending it ?  It costs about $100 to $150 per and is almost never covered by insurance.  It is all out of pocket.  Most would wonder if its worth trying, so I'm giving you my testimonial for the method.  Had years and years of massotherapy and this was a game changer.  Worth investing the money for 5 sessions to find out if you would benefit from it. You should know by then.  And with an actual Rx for this you can deduct your payments from your annual out of pocket limit.  And in a hospital or medical setting, tips are generally not allowed.  That is a major, major benefit.

Glad you finally got relief. Good info.
