Great turnout in Redwood City today! One major flaw... all issues in our County were covered except the #1 issue...housing/displacement/evictions. What is up with that?

Fantastic turnout. Inspiring comments and songs by Joan Baez. Poetry was a unique addition to the rally. Drove all the way from Auburn.

Donald Trump says if all these fools had just voted, then they wouldn't have to waste their time on these pointless protests. Real Americans attended his inauguration instead.

"Donald Trump says if all these fools had just voted" What a silly, uninformed statement!

They did vote. The only 'fool' in the equation (other than Trump, of course) is one who weakly insults millions of Americans exercising their rights, is the author of that lame insult.

Trump got 62 million votes.
Clinton got 65 million votes.
Clinton got +3 million votes more than Trump.
72 million voted against Trump.

Yesterday, millions came out to protest, an action so important in our history it is guaranteed in The Constitution. Name a bigger protest than what occurred yesterday. Just because your network didn't cover it yesterday, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

But Fox watchers love their fact free world - in fact they revel in it. They have a name for it.

Senior Trump advisor/liar Kellyanne Conway on Trump spox Spicer's lies about crowd size:
"You're saying it's a falsehood, and they're giving Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that. But the point really is—"

"Wait a minute. Alternative facts? Alternative facts? Four of the five facts he uttered were just not true."

"Look, alternative facts are not facts"

Except for the weak 1/3rd of America that loves trump. They swallow all the lies. They swallow hard.

Alternative facts. That's golden, isn't it?

"Real Americans attended his inauguration instead" said in the best Charles Lindbergh/nazi sympathizer voice, as Trump did in his dark inaugural speech about American Carnage: "America First" Web Link

Beyond that, let's look at how many "Real Americans" attended the loser Trump's party versus other inaugurations attended by "Real Americans"

Trump got blown away - no one came to his short-fingered party, and he is really emotionally hurt by it. Ask Sean Spicer, who got the brunt of his anger.

Here come the "photos lie" arguments!

@ Donny - without taking a side - it is important to note that between 42-47% of women did not vote. Like Colin Kap., if you do not vote, you cannot expect a different outcome... So on voting day - outcries are wonderful, votes count.....where were the votes

@Roberto: Voter turnout in San Mateo County was 81.6 percent. Hilary Clinton won by a landslide.
