It looks like some are running in fear.

Seems like a lot of snowflakes are having trouble meeting with their constituents.

It's almost like people don't want their healthcare taken away, weird

petitioning the government for redress of grievances is sooooo last administration.

Petitioning, criminal harassment

Tomato, tomatoe

Liberals really want this to be the same grass roots uprising that occurred with the Tea Party in 2010. I don't think it is. Could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Was last night the time of death of the Tea Party BTW?

Let's hope it's not that. I kind of feel like it might be, though.

Why do you think that? These loons look like the same agitators and protestors that have always made up the professional left. That's not a groundswell of opposition - it's more of the same. The Tea Party brought a tidal wave of ordinarily disengaged folks to wipe out the Dem majorities in the midterms.

The tea party hijacked a party that used to consist of reasonable people who were easy to vote for and kicked them out for Ted Cruz types. The left doesn't need to become extremist as well.

google image search "tea party protests" really a stroll down memory lane...wow.

Isn't it ironic

What was that pre-bern protest movement called? Occupy? That one was grossest

Correct. Every sign I've seen at women's marches (and similar rallies) has had every word spelled correctly.

First, these summerbeaches would protest anything Trump and Republicans proposed even something that they want.  Second, Obamacare isn't health insurance for most people; it is catastrophic economic protection only as they have to pay thousands for healthcare because of high deductibles.  Third, the message we should be given our representatives is to grow up and work together to solve the problems.  Fourth, Democrats you lost and we are going to be ruthless about instituting sensible solutions that are not dependent on Auntie Maybell's federal teat to suckle.

Maybe you should go to the next protest. Whole lot of ordinary folk there. For instance I ran into coworkers and old college classmates. A girl I knew from high school that is now an elementary school teacher was there with fellow teachers. Saw a lot of local business owners that I recognized from shopping at their stores.

Or I suppose you could just stick your head further in the sand, call us all professional protesters (I never got my check from George btw  )

[Phil Titola]

There are at least weekly protests by my office....I don't know how to spot a paid protestor I guess but they don't seem very organized and I'd get my money back if I was paying them.
