Thousands Set To Protest Minneapolis Trump Rally, as President is Warned It's 'Just Another Stop Along The Road To Impeachment'

.
City officials in Minneapolis appear to be anticipating chaotic scenes to unfold around President Donald Trump's Minnesota rally on Thursday, with thousands of protesters expected to flood the streets.
In a statement this week, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said officers would be out in full force to ensure "everyone's safety and security" while allowing "people to exercise their Constitutional rights."
According to local reports, the rally could see as many as 10,000 demonstrators taking to the streets to do just that, with a "Trump baby" balloon also expected to make an appearance outside the event.
Meanwhile, Minnesota Democrats are also sending out a clear message to the president that he is not welcome in their state, with Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum telling Newsweek Trump's Thursday rally is just "another stop along the road to impeachment."

Antifa! They throw CONCRETE MILKSHAKES AT INNOCENT JOURNALISTS! Just ask my Dad, he saw it on Fox.

(1,414 posts)if they show up, which I expect they will, their presence will be less about defending against the imaginary bogeyman they have made the opposition to be as it is to make sure the faithful continue to toe the line. Without fear their whole raison d'etre fails

(86,643 posts)what oath are they keeping? Their hero doesn't honor the one he took when entering office, so..? They would be betraying not only his oath of office by supporting him and any other regarding their responsibilities as citizens. I think they need to get themselves some learnin'.

A 100,000-person protest is more than justified, at this point. I hope something big goes down.

(421 posts)I think there will be fascists there that wanna mess with and intimidate the 10-20,000 peaceful resisters. I worry for people's safety. I hope the protest size is bigger than drumpf's crowd size, but that nothing violent "goes down" instigated by the righties.

(8,746 posts)All 10,000 should bring whistles and just blow the hell out of them. No shouting or arguing with these trumpladytes, just blow the hell out of the whistles in their face. Media should do the same at every chopper talk staged rally and in every interview at every lie. Blow the GOP into oblivion with Chinese made whistles. Whistle blowers unit, save our country not with guns, with Patriot whistles.

(8,746 posts)WHISTLE BLOWERS have more of a detrimental meaning to trump and his parasites now. They may be our only way to end this hell. Blow whistle blow! Maybe bring bags of BEANS too, and spill em everywhere.

If that's how you really feel, then the government should take your weapons.
You all are mentally suspect and a danger to the community!

(32 posts)I believe it is critical for these states to look carefully at what's happening as far as their voting machines, voter roles and planned voter suppression. Russia and complicit GOP are likely actively working to corrupt the vote in these states. If/when the votes go to a republican, Trump can say, "I visited and they love me in Minnesota." It only took 70,000 votes to sway the 2016 election through this type of manipulation.
O/T, but how long before Ivanka's voting machines are purchased and implemented?

(146,317 posts)Of course, that will happen inside the venue, where all the fearful Republicans will be, assuming large numbers show up to hear Trump. That is far from certain, though.
