This is like nothing we've seen before in this country. America is awake now. I guess we have our fascist new president to thank for shaking us out of our stupor.

One thing is for certain, this is only the beginning of the resistance. It's only going to grow from here.
Not really, this is less than 1% of the mentally ill population that has been manipulated into thinking that socialism works. The other 99.99% of the country is on board.

Maybe you all can order funny hats to show solidarity with one another....perhaps in a shade of pink that has been popular as of late.

There were two types of things fought for in the '60s, those of a strong moral nature, and those of moving further left and fairytales.


Lefties today don't have it in them to fight for the former.

What are they going to do? Throw tantrums, have cry sessions, riot? Maybe you guys plan to bomb and kill people like Bill Ayers, you know.. one of Obama's buddies?

did you forget a huge number of the marchers last Sat arrived the day before. How could they have been working and still be able to travel to DC?

An Officer in the Resistance;


Donna Hylton
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Hylton


In 1985, Hylton and two accomplices drugged and kidnapped 62-year-old real-estate broker Thomas Vigliarolo and held him prisoner for 15-20 days. While imprisoned, Vigliarolo was starved, burned, beaten, sexually assaulted and tortured. Hylton delivered a ransom note and tape to a friend of Vigliarolo, leading to her capture. She was released after serving 27 years of her life sentence.

For each protestor wasting their time, I offer each of them taking in one refugee family to their home to do their part for what they believe in. Don't talk smack. Walk the talk like Trump is doing.
