He can’t be happy seeing cops dancing with demonstrators. Or “angry” protestors who look like they’re having a block party, with games, live music, and street dancing. Not to mention all the voter registration going on.

Somehow, I think he was looking for something a lot more clash-y, and violent.

The only "brain" running the WH/(r)epuglicon show is probably in Moscow/St.Petersburg with local offices (see Koch, Murdoch, Mercer, Thiel) in the US and everywhere.

Even when he says something halfway lucid, like "Look at the sun! It sure is bright today.", we know he is just being stupid.

But I'm sure compared to some of the chickens or mice in the stable, he might have a moment of genius. But probably not.

Even Barron told him,... and scientists told him a thousand times,.. it is an eclipse of the sun,... do not look directly at it. It will cause damage to your eyes.

So trDumpie glares at the sun,... stares at it for about 10 minutes. No filters no sunglasses.

He lies. All the time. There is no question or debate about this, not even among any of his own supporters if they have more than five functioning synapses and they are not or drugs or comatose.

If Mango Mussolini ever tells you the sky is blue, do not accept it as anything close to fact without a certified copy of a local NOAA weather report, a view of a live streaming camera from the area, and a set of Pantone color charts for the shades of blue.

Is this a duty the Secret Service signs on for?

Or did Hope Hicks take this on while licking his butt?

My recollection of the sewage system in DC is that the crap from Capitol Hill was flushed into the Anacostia.

Tiber Creek used to run through the middle of the Trump Swamp. Perhaps it'll back up all the way to his golden (plated) throne.

the street got painted. I'm not what sure excuse he used but I'm sure it had to do with his image.

When you have the whole planet pissed at you, it's a good idea to just stay in the house.

but it is a 1400 mile round trip to the south side of the Beltway and that pretty much means 3 days away. If I had a weeks worth of warning, I would have gone.

Some shit has to change in this country or this will not stop.

It isn't just that BLM, it is also that cops have no accountability for the most part, and they lobby and struggle all they can to KEEP IT THAT WAY!

The police in this country are out of fucking control, and if anyone thinks they aren't, and that the way they conduct themselves is the way it should be, then you aren't paying attention.

They most certainly kill Black People at a disproportionate rate, but they also harass and intimidate and violate the rights of ALL citizens on a regular basis, and they fucking lie through their teeth about such things as a matter of course.

We need a U4 style system for cops in this country

i've seen huge crowds in San Francisco, Chicago, Philly, DC - peaceful protests. These protests are not going away. This gives me the most hope of all.

I wish I could be there. I even wish I didn't feel so scared about how many of them will end up sick because they went there. But I so love that they are there.

Then if I get that message and press 'try again' it loads fine. It's so random and I can't figure it out either, but that's my workaround. I envy people who can see embedded tweets. I have the settings allowed in my browser, I've checked to make sure there's not a filter in my ad blocker and it's still an issue.

"Denauguration?"
"Disnauguration?"

Whatever it is, Trump's is bigger than Obama's (which was non-existent).
