As American as protest, as American as fighting the redcoats, as American as throwing as throwing tea in the harbor to protest tax cuts for corporations. Speak your mind, America.

Many local free speech events TONIGHT. Make you voice heard, whatever side you may be 'on'.

It’s going to be enjoyable watching the two wings of the Democrat party — the Liberal wing and the Hard Left one — go after each other for the next two years competing to see who can do the most unhinged things!

>> who can do the most unhinged things!

How is protesting Obstruction of Justice an "unhinged thing"?

re: wings... we've seen how the GOP's wings fared. The economic conservatives got trounced (largest Democratic house pickups since Watergate) when saddled with the nationalist/immigration wing. Notice how Fox suddenly stopped reporting on the so-called 'caravan' as of Tuesday night?

How is it Obstruction of Justice? He's doing his job in appointing an acting AG. The acting AG has his own opinions. So did Sessions, so does Rosenstein. So what?

God bless our President Trump!!

A page out of the Trump playbook...

New York Times Article, Nov. 9:
"Acting Attorney General Sat on Board of Company Accused of Bilking Customers"

"The trade commission complaint said that consumers were told they had to spend about $3,000 for a “Global Invention Royalty Analysis” to begin the process of examining an invention with the goal of getting a patent. After making the payment, the company’s clients were then pitched various packages ranging from approximately $8,000 to about $65,000.

After the company took the money, it typically began ignoring customers, who became frustrated that they were left in the dark..."

Y’all have fun protesting! Maybe the Almanac will cover your event, but I doubt that anyone wants to hear about it. I am going to use my time trying to remove the Hillary and Obama bumper stickers from my Prius. Ashamed to admit I’m a Democrat anymore.

"Ashamed to admit I’m a Democrat anymore."

Ahhh, the ol' "I'm leaving the party" concern troll meme. Sure, we believe you. Alas, many Americans do not. Total votes for the senate this week:

Democratic - 47,636,458 votes (57.3%)
Republican - 34,204,091 votes (41.1%)

We'll miss ya...

Democratics for Senate got 13 million more votes than Republicans?

What's wrong with this picture?
