But OF COURSE someone paid her! No one would protest a lunatic, know-nothing, Psychopathic, Sociopathic jerkwad excuse of a “president” all on their own, would they? WOULD THEY???
Considering our crumbling infrastructure, perhaps it’s time for a WPA type of program and get those collecting unemployment working on the roads and bridges.

An oft-cited history of “black bloc” tactics by Daniel Dylan Young of A-Infos, a multilingual anarchist news and information service, suggests that the practice has its roots in Germany in the late 1970s. At the time, hordes of young people had taken residence in vacant buildings in inner cities, setting up cooperative houses in the bowels of abandoned warehouses and tenements. Similar communities cropped up in the Netherlands, Denmark and elsewhere in Northern Europe.
In 1980, however, the city governments began to crack down. German authorities evicted and arrested thousands of squatters that winter, triggering protests across the country, one of which turned violent in Berlin, with rioters destroying an upscale shopping area, according to Young.
“In response to violent state oppression radical activists developed the tactic of the Black Bloc,” Young wrote in 2001. By masking up in black, he wrote, activists “could more effectively fend off police attacks, without being singled out as individuals for arrest and harassment later on.”
I always wonder about the limited insight someone like interventor has into the African American experience. Such willful blindness demonstrates a difficulty in the capacity for empathy with others. In this case, the essential toxicity has a name. It’s called racism. Now we are all racists to some degree. Tribalism grew because of its overriding importance to evolution of our species. In our increasingly interdependent world, however, the more intelligent and insightful humans know that wider paradigm of inclusion and tolerance is called for to ensure human success. Actively working for inclusion is an advanced approach for the species, in direct contrast to tribal instincts. Reflexive, knee-jerk racism (such as that directed towards President Obama by republicans for over eight years) is a palpable threat to the continued success of the human experiment in consciousness. Of course, poor deluded folks like some who post here have much darker, more hateful, and far less enlightened viewpoints. That’s why they were referred to as deplorables. Just as crazy is as crazy does (think trumpy, the pathetic sociopathic narcissist), so too, deplorable is as deplorable does.
I’m an archetype of who the trumpy tribe hates. Well educated. Successful in running my business. Well traveled and lived all over the world (my goodness, even fluent in two languages and competent in a third). Well read. Thoughtful. Empathetic. And of course I have racist impulses—but unlike the right wing, I work against those impulses.
Are you paying attention interventor. Does this post get you upset?
Of course Trump is going to accuse protestors of being paid. Remember the $50.00 per head for the cheering background when he deigned to descend to announce his candidacy. Remember the hired thugs beating up reporters at the campaign rallies. He doesn’t know any other tactic, so naturally assumes his opponents know no other either. Whatever he accuses others are doing, you can logically suspect he is doing the same.
he is probably upset that woman’s face hurt one of his last supporter’s fist. He’ll sue her biggly for interrupting golf and cake time. Someone must have hired her, because according to everyone around him, he is the most loved president of all time with bigger crowds than anyone. Is is great yet? Why won’t Trump do anything for the middle class voters who put him in office?
Donald Trump is going to be the most expensive president in American history. Protection of his family is draining the budget for the Secret Service. Since we’re paying for his protection at the White House, Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, and for each of his children, it’s only fair that he show us what he’s kicking in and where he made his money.
Trump needs to release his taxes, stop keeping it a secret on who’s visiting the White House, and call on his Nazis to stop punching women.
This is the caliber of man so many wanted or excused for his and his minions’ crimes.
I wonder who is paying all those people who took this poll?

Only 36 percent of American voters say Republicans in Congress should try again to repeal and replace Obamacare, the 2010 Affordable Care Act, while 60 percent say the Republicans should “move on.”
Voters disapprove 65 – 29 percent of the way President Donald Trump is handling health care and say 54 – 22 percent that he is handling health care worse than former President Barack Obama. Another 19 percent say he is handling it about the same as President Obama.
American voters are opposed to several proposals supported by President Trump and Republicans in Congress:
Oppose 75 – 21 percent lowering taxes on the wealthy;
What the media isn’t telling anyone is that the woman in question made a post on social media vowing to bring back scalps as proof of her efforts. In other words, she went there looking for a fight… and got one.

Who ever is paying protesters is creating more jobs than the Republican Congress who are on vacation.
