Same thing as George Soros. Plutocracy.

It just goes to show how immature and out of touch with reality they REALLY are!

"What I find fascinating is the koch brothers opposing Trump."

Because many people like yourself ONLY BELIEVE what the left media has told you about them.

Instead of actually doing research on your own and finding out about them for yourself, you fell hook, line and sinker as they KNEW many like you did and still do.

"Politics is poison now. Yes, the Republicans did it too when Obama was in office"

It goes all the way back to the Judge Bork nomination and John Tower, "Where do I go to get my reputation back" and Judge Clarence Thomas.

but right now the democrats are acting like a petulant 2 year old who wants mommy to make everything right with the world, but mommy is trying to make them stand up on their own and make their own way.

I have no idea why some of you degrade others. Does it make you feel better or something. The fact is, we all have a right to protest whether you like it or not. So your name calling just doesn't work. lol


Is it really that difficult for you to see the "Life isn't fair!" cries and mentality. the left/ Dems project?


It really is pathetic and reeks of a 7 year old's tantrum crying the all too familiar sobs of a child that can't stand the world not being perfect.


It is what it is.

Have not seen much protest but I have seen an awful lot of criminal behavior, destruction, and assault.


I also have not seen the left speaking out against it at all.


Now's your opportunity to do so...........

Your nightly news is my local news because I live in the DC area. The women's march was very peaceful. And this has been the biggest march ever. But there are anarchists who just love to make trouble. The mayor in DC condemned the violent protesters at the inauguration. Not sure what you want the left to do. Who do you want to speak out against this

lets start with obama and clinton, and work our way down. it is the democrat leadership that needs to stand up and speak out against this stuff, but they would rather encourage it instead.

But Obama and Hillary aren't the leadership anymore. So work your way down.
