Rachel Maddow making me feel good about my National Enquired guerilla campaign.

When I go through the grocery line, I hide the National Enquired by turning it backward, putting another magazine in front of it, etc. Rachel is making me feel great about myself for my insignificant action against this scurrilous shit rag that helped elect Trump.

Not sure if it works but I sure hope so. I've also created inserts and gone into bookstores and found George W Bush books Bill O'Reilly books and place them between the pages.

Yesterday here in Portland, OR, I covered an Enquirer with a Woman's Day in the grocery checkout line. HaHa!

I relocated an over-the-top Trumped-up copy to the store's pet section, and placed it prominently in a disposable kitty litter box. Face-up, with all contents being bona-fide disposable. I'll be pursuing the hide and no-find technique as well.

Here have done so as well after several polite but pointed conversations w managers reminding them that it's not right to make money off of falsehoods and lies.

Told them if they had a Good Housekeeping with a recipe to poison people they would pull it off the shelves immediately. That the Enquirer w its outright lies is poison for our country and its wrong to profit from it.

I didn't think they would listen but it's gone.
