Did you enjoy yourself last night, Donald?

You were booed by a large crowd. A crowd that was perhaps bigger than the one you imagined was there when you were sworn in. There were over forty thousand people at that ballgame last night. On live TV. Watched by millions. Was that "fake news?"

Donald, I know you won't understand this, but what happened last night was democracy in action. Human beings of all religions/and no religion; black people, white people, brown people and people of every shade imaginable; blue collar/white collar/retired/teens/ordinary people from diverse backgrounds; people who went to see a ball game.

No one organized your being booed. No one staged it. No one planned it. It just fucking happened. It was an outpouring of frustration from everyday people with no power to stop your insanity, or your ongoing destruction of decency.

This is what happened last night, Donald. You've probably already wiped it from your mind, or made up some crazed fantasy to explain it to yourself.

But every sane person knows that you are a danger to America and the world. And every sane person knows that you must be crushed in the upcoming election, no matter what you, your criminal Republican Party, and your pal Vladimir do to try to steal it. -- Again.

One said "Looks like the Yanks are back, booing tyrants".

Some gave him the double bird, too!

The orange beast didn't have a microphone to tell us that this was an organized gathering of Democrats and people paid to show up and boo him. Ain't it great to watch so many people publicly shouting "Lock him up?"
