Protestors may be late, takes some time to pick out the right bandana, get into the ninja outfits, ballet tights or whatever they're wearing these days to protest.

LOL I was there yesterday. The people walking around didnt seem threatening to me. I didnt see any firearms or assault rifles. Looked more like a country\western music convention or hunting\fishing convention. That was the vibe I got when leaving Taco Mac. THIS IS Atlanta though the the LEFT Liberal (All GAYS, WOMEN & BLACKS are GOD) crowd has a huge presence here. I wonder if their will be unneeded conflict.

I noticed an exponential uptick in the amount of pickup trucks in my downtown parking deck this morning.

As someone who completely tuned out all politics until my 40s, when suddenly I had nothing else to do but "tune into the sporting event that is politics", where partisan rivalry trumps all else. Hopefully congress will be replaced with online voting by the public on each issue one day.

When you step back and look at the inefficient, ridiculousness of grown men and women not ever acknowledge or give credit to anyone in other party for years/decades, it's childishness,
that would have 12 yr olds shaking their heads if they were paying attention.

So I think it's a waste of time to get upset over, because I've concluded that the public enjoys the rivalry, which is also their top priority. Talk about wasting taxpayer's money.

Why can't Trump and Paul Ryan go on tv and explain biggest hurtles of healthcare and be open to ideas from public and other party? Thinking out loud with the public for 60 to 120 minutes on tv would gain public's trust, and also where are the physicians, nurses, insurance CEOs and hospital CEO with their suggestions to lower costs or their biggest frustrations?

It's unfortunate that Americans after the "Mexican rapists" comment early on, never listened to Trump's position on anything ever again. Who wouldn't be thrilled by his questioning the obscene costs for Air Force One and F35s , that take funding from our crumbling infrastructure and crummy roads.

Renee Elmers lost reelection due to working with Obama Admin for compromise. Doesn't that say it all?

They're marching to GWCC. Woodruff was the assembly point.

On a different note, anyone want to take a guess as to the number of guns that will be stolen out of attendees' cars this weened?

Can you point out what exactly is ignorant about bringing to everyone's attention that a disgusting group of people are coming to the city? Let's get guns out of our society.

Since you seem to have a low opinion of gun owners...yes or no: Do you believe that the 2nd Amendment should be repealed, that gun ownership should be prohibited in the United States, and that the federal government should (by gunpoint) confiscate all private firearms?
