I was deeply moved by the large crowd of young people who really, truly get it and are passionate for inclusivity.

"He's tweeting about us!" The crowd goes wild.

This isn't a diss on protesting at all. Just a realization of how The Stupid One will likely respond.

This ISN'T what he expected when he ran for POTUS. He loves attention, adoration, hobnobbing with celebs, etc. He'll get plenty of attention, but most of it will be negative. Considering how thin-skinned and narcissistic he is, he may not be able to withstand it for 4 years.

We know this because KellyAnne keeps talking about how he should get the respect he "deserves". Like all you have to do is take office and we all bow down, no matter what he does or doesn't do.

Well, that's how it is when you are a CEO. You are pretty much a dictator and only dependent on shareholders if you have any. But that is NOT what a President is. He/she is a public servant.

I haven't seen this much protest since the Johnson/Nixon days.

Selling it would help pay part of his no doubt colossal tax debt - after thoroughly sanitizing it of course.

...of thing up every weekend and we'll have the kind of coverage and clout the tea party had when it started. In other words, we'll be effective at last.

28. HIs property faces the ICW

Why there is certainly hundreds of bridges crossing the ICW, none run to the back of his property.

Until the election, you could arrive by boat on the ICW side, or anchor just offshore. But that area is blocked by a heavy coastguard force, and the coastguard has far more powers of detainment and harrassment than if you are standing out front on the street.

Pull up Mar-a-Lago on the Google Earth. It's a little more clear then.
