But his drones will remain in-country.

There were about a dozen or so people walking down 5th Ave while I was waiting to go in consol with a sickle & hammer flag trying to block traffic to the annoyance of pens fans.

"At the Convention Center, protesters blocked the main entrance inside, and police had to form a line to allow his supporters in through another entrance. It was estimated to be one of the largest anti-Trump protests this year."

And just so you know (despite what FOX is bound to claim):

"The Black Lives Matter supporters brought signs and were chanting. There was some strong language reported and Pittsburgh Police were on the scene, but things remained non-violent."

I like these too, from the Trib:


' "“How's Joe Paterno? We're gonna bring that back? Right?” Trump said, referring to the late Penn State football coach. Many in the crowd groaned. '


' “I don't know much about NATO, but I have a lot of common sense. A lot, a lot, a lot,” Trump said. '

Such actions just make me scratch my head; even if you find Trump vile, blocking people from entering a venue to listen to any candidate speak is a special kind of stupid as such chicanery only adds support to said candidate & makes the protestors look like children.
