White House postpones Saturday garden tours due to anti-Trump demonstrations

If y'all don't hear from me by Sunday, I may be "detained" somewhere.
Doubtful, Rickey. COPD is acting up with a side of sciatica. Getting old is so much fun.

I made it back and didn't even need to raise bail. The organizers upped the original expected turnout from 12,000 to 20,000. This was more than that. Lots more.

Lots of pics if anyone's interested.

Nice. Reminds me of 1970 on the Mall with a touch more gray.

We seniors were indeed representing today. I spoke with one couple that came here all the way from Reno, NV. I just saw a report where the organizers said that there were 100,000 souls in attendance. It was literally a sea of people. Oh my poor tired feet.

Finally Trump gets the size crowd he always brags about and he runs away to hide on the golf course.

No building were breached, no cops were assaulted.

From The Midas Touch coverage they showed the sigh an elderly gray haired grandma(?) was holding. The sign read:

"I'd call tRump a cunt,
but he lacks depth and warmth"

Ladies & gents, we have a winner!

This is all well and good, but I remember all the uproar in 2017 with the pussy hats and years before that the occupy Wall Street nonsense. Amounted to nothing.

Instead, what it's going to take is for a red congressional district somewhere in the USA to allow an anti-Trump Republican to successfully primary a MAGA incumbent. When that can happen, the a true turning point will have been reached.

^^There are no anti-Trump Republicans anymore or they are all in hiding afraid of retribution. If a dozen or so Republican Senators will speak up against Trump's wrecking of the American economy it may start the ball rolling, but even that may not be enough since the POTUS can veto any bill.
