I went to the rally for the People’s March for Climate in Fargo. I guess 200,000 people attended the march in Washington, DC. That’s more than attended his inauguration! People are protesting all around the world.
Meanwhile, Trump has fled the capitol and all the contempt for his presidency to try and restore his confidence with another of his silly, itty-bitty rallies in Pennsylvania. Afterwards, he’ll stare into a mirror and struggle to reassure himself that he really is loved, as tears stream down his cheeks.
He is pathetic.
He also just ditched a contract the Alaskan Native Americans wrote to protect the Bering Strait from climate change. Essentially just tore it up.
While claiming the News MEdia is refusing to publish all his accomplishments to make him look bad.

100 days? Who cares?
We are currently waiting on his mad ideas about international trade. Someone seems to have shown a New Yorker what a cow look like.
Just finished working for the day. So, no celebrations of any kind.
Meanwhile in Portland, OR a different more pathetic march:

“Afterwards, he’ll stare into a mirror and struggle to reassure himself that he really is loved, as tears stream down his cheeks.” – I really doubt that. He has a tremendous gift for convincing himself that he’s the best and brightest that the world has ever seen. He’ll have a twitter fit, claim that the protests are fake news, his entourage of sycophants will agree that everyone loves him, and everything will be back to “normal” by Monday…
Laughed at his lies…
Russian flags made an appearance at the Trump rally:

People march and the Republicans win the elections. Maybe people should vote. I have yet to see what marches and protests that the left finds so captivating accomplish other than make the people who march feel good about themselves and satisfy some need to feel that they are doing something. I get it that people feel the need to express themselves, but I also think the Republicans just laugh at this. They don’t mind at all that the left spends effort on marches. And who gives a shit about how may people attended Trump’s inauguration (besides Trump)? He was being inaugurated while Hilary sat at home pouting. Look how many people marched! Yippee. No body wanted to attend or perform at the inauguration. Who cares? Meanwhile Trump starts his dismantling of science-based policy.
Chuck Stanley @ # 8: He was being inaugurated while Hilary sat at home pouting.
Actually, she was on the stand with him, keeping a very straight face.
You wanna lecture the readers here, first get your facts straight. Spelling too, why not…
How did I celebrate Trump’s first 100 days?
I went to the bathroom and took a dump.
….I didn’t realize Trump cast a reflection.
Then set an example for the country by flushing and wiping?
Afterwards, he’ll stare into a mirror and struggle to reassure himself that he really is loved, as tears stream down his cheeks.
Why? There were 200.000 people marching for him in Washington. Many more went out for him all over the world! He is the bigliest president evah!^111
Ups, quote failure…
Chuck Stanley, #8
I agree that those on the left of American politics (and the overton window over there is so far to the right that most of what you call the left most people would think of as centrists and mainstream right-wingers) should get out and vote in greater numbers. There aren’t exactly all that many votes to participate in right now though. And participation in democratic government does not begin or end with voting in elections.
Marches set the tone for the public debates. Marches show the politicians the mood of the people. Politiicians can and do respond to them – why do you think Trump has no successes to crow about today? A fair bit of it is do to with others people in power reading the mood of the country and not wanting to have to go back to their electors in a few years’ time and explain their complicity in some very unpopular things. Marches show people that they are not alone in their opposition to Trumpish tyranny and vileness, and let people who might otherwise keep quiet speak out and make a difference. There are plenty of political marches in history that helped to make a real difference in this way. I would think immediately of Jarrow, but for the US context perhaps Selma is the one you would bear in mind.
One wonders what your proposed course of action instead of marching would be? Rioting? Nothing?
Trump Flees has almost the same ring to it as King Zog Flees.
All of these marches and protests are great and inspiring but I wonder if Trump and his ilk even notice them. They seem to live in a world where alternative facts rule and their opposition barely exists.
Sorry I guess I left out the /endblockquote tag.
Chuck Stanley, most of us here at this blog vote. I’ve voted in every election since ’72. We encourage everybody to vote. We can’t force them to vote.
Do you have an actual plan, other than just saying vote?
More people protested than attended the inauguration?
Not according to alternative math.
@ Chuck Stanley (#8):
I realize that this is very common in the media, but it annoys the hell out of me. If you write “Trump”, please write “Clinton”. Alternatively, if you absolutely must write “Hilary”, then please write “Donald”. I know the sexism you are showing is culturally ingrained, but all it takes is a little awareness and willingness to show equal respect.
“Meanwhile, Trump has fled the capitol and all the contempt for his presidency to try and restore his confidence with another of his silly, itty-bitty rallies in Pennsylvania.

It has been reported that Trump’s staff has to carefully select and present Drumpf with “news” stories from sources such as Faux News and Breitbart, to protect his fragile ego and keep his mood easier for them all to deal with. I also made the mistake of listening to BBC news recently, where the blind loyalty often associated with leaders such as Kim Jun-Il, Kim Jun-Un, and Vladimir Putin were on full display, with the reporter talking to the “Vote for Trump” rally attendees saying how Drumpf kept all of his promises and has proven himself to be highly reliable and trustworthy as president. They obviously still believe that their income and economy will dramatically increase any day now. Should be interesting to see how long it lasts, and when that support will start to wake up.
Bernie Sanders says it all. (You Tube)
