IMHO the women's march was timed well to give political cover to Mueller: Pressure potus

While I totally know that nothing gets through to the idiot in chief, the fact that we all showed up again does matter to his henchmen/women who prop him up.

It's posturing with real impact: We will do it again and again all over the country if congress doesn't act, or if it ignores Mueller's findings of treason.

We're on the precipice of finding that the potus launders money for russia and is being blackmailed by russia. When the moron blathers on about some other HRC b.s. instead of admitting his crimes, we'll all be right back in the streets. We're ready. We have the expertise. We're already pissed. I can be right back in the street every saturday, and I will be.

Aside from passive polling, the interwebs are also fully able to move information, and the press is engaged, and no longer afraid.

This gop leadership simply lacks the influence to stop all the forces that oppose them.

We. The. People.

We. Show. Up.

The phrase, "I don't pay attention to politics" is no longer operational. Bush et. al. counted on political lethargy and ignorance. That is over. We're engaged, we're confident, we're prepared, we're mobilized.

I actually heard this sung on the march saturday:

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men? (and women!)
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!

When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
