George Soros did such a great job of busing people into Boston for the protest today. How much does he pay each person for their appearance? I want in on that. Guy must be a gigagazillionaire to afford all this. Glad he's on our side.

Ironically it's THAT side of the aisle that features, boasts, and generates all the "Fake News". They have the biggest monopoly of machinery to push that crap by now.

I don't want Dems to turn into the RW, but I do think we need to amp up our R&D Department to find new and better ways to combat the RW Ministry of Propaganda.

rallies and counter protesting in other locations and other ways. But, when we've got numbers like this willing and able to show up, it seems to be the way to go. So grateful to Boston!

WERE big crowds of people. It's just that they were all there wearing their white sheets and hoods.

Believe me. Lotta people are saying. This I can tell you.

They're actually siding with the resisters. The Boston police are not Trump's buddies.

With him plugged directly in to Reich Wing media and the "Who's a good boy? You're a good boy! Yes you are, Donnie!!" twice daily "briefings" his lackeys bestow upon him, he has no fucking clue what's true in the country and world today.

Pretty much exactly like his belligerently ignorant supporters.

America was great yesterday, still today and will remain tomorrow.
