Roundups Might Not Stop At Undocumented Workers. Protesters Could Be Next.

Anything is possible with this insane dingbat. We are entering an era the US has never seen. With a GOP dictatorship at our door step after watching the hearings. Trump is their man really you have to wonder. Rumblings about 2nd amendment solutions to protest and the false reality that protesters are paid or are domestic terrorists I am afraid that we are facing some really nasty times.

I know GOP reps are furious that any even questions them in any way. And I know that the GOP in Colorado is very secretive. And if you try to make what they are doing public they will have you thrown out or arrested when they have their meeting. In some cases ALL their town halls are at friendly churches.

We are in a new era that leads to a black hole.

I realize that I may be over reacting. But seeing how Warren was treated is a warning. SHE WAS DELIBERATELY TARGETED because she is an effective voice against the GOP agenda. The fact that people are listening to her scares them. They will do other things to silence her. We are dealing with a party that is growing more vicious by the day. They are snakes in the grass.

When I hear 'turtle" speaking he is a power mad psychopath. He speaks toward Democrats with enraged hatred. He demands they roll over. And he will find a way to punish them. Ryan is no different. The GOP is a murderous party politically. They are as bad as the Nazi party in some ways.

When you look at how they treated the representative in Hawaii you should get the message. The will enforce "the collective" mind at all costs. Of course they have not murdered anyone yet like Putin. But they do everything possible next to it.

we will lay down for these fucking people, but I truly think we are the only ones who can stop this.

Question: would you give your life to save your country on your own home soil????
You would have to dig deep down to answer that.

But I won't give in to their fear-mongering. I've already been to 3 protests in 2017 and I'm going to another tomorrow.

And my asshole senator Bill Cassidy is holding a town hall in a few weeks in a little city just outside of New Orleans. I'm going to that too.

FUCK THEM ALL!

Yesterday 100's of protesters gathered to halt a single "illegal immigrant"* from being deported.

PHOENIX - Protesters took to Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters Wednesday to block the deportation of a Mesa mom who was ordered deported during an immigration check-in earlier in the day.

* term used here because she had been found guilty of Felony Identity Theft in 2009 due to Sheriff Apiro.


1000s responded immediately to the Travel Ban, including lawyers, the ACLU etc.


They can not get away with "rounding up" undocumented immigrants, so no one will get away with doing anything so crazy as rounding up protesters.

Take care of yourself. You are with friends. We are here for you.

Senator Warren's actions made the Coretta King letter go viral. The letter used the direct words of a civil rights icon to categorize the dangers of Sessions to our liberties. Drip, drip, drip...more voters and apolitical people get energized.

Trump tries to bully a retailer into bad business practices. The company's stock goes up... Smart financial managers are betting on the grassroots. Drip, drip, drip...

Those of us who protested Vietnam and during the 60s and 70s see this coming, already.

From the guy who begged for a "new Kent state" to the Republicans who are suddenly terrified of protestors and looking to up their security.

This is all going down a VERY familiar road........
