Protesters set fires and hurled bricks in a daylong assault on the city hosting Donald Trump’s inauguration, registering their rage against the new president in a series of clashes that led to more than 200 arrests. Police used pepper spray and stun grenades to prevent the chaos from spilling into Trump’s formal procession and evening balls.
Several spirited demonstrations unfolded peacefully at various security checkpoints near the Capitol as police helped ticket-holders get through to the inaugural ceremony. Signs read, “Resist Trump Climate Justice Now,” ″Let Freedom Ring” and “Free Palestine.”

Good for those protestors. More power to them. They follow President Adams words about a government that does not do the will of the people.

DeleteJeez, never in my wildest dreams, back in college in the '70s, did I think that the Grateful Dead's "What a long strange trip it's been" lyrics would play out in today's real-life version of Orwell's "1984" that we are currently watching play out in the liberal politician's pig sty known as Washington, D.C.
ReplyDeleteAmericans are screwed. All that's left is to screw up our courage, and re-perform the actions of the founders as we strive to take our nation back.
Let's get on with it.
Mind boggling. :(
