Hillary's book signings are getting big, happy crowds. A google search of "Hillary picket book signing" reveals NO incidents of people picketing her signings.
Even though no one here would outright lie to stir things up, implying that people are picketing her book signings when no one is makes it look as if someone IS trying to stir things up.
So no one should make up stories about people picketing Hillary's book signings. OK?

It seems to be getting worse, not better.
People can call them "Russian trolls", but I suspect they're not. At any rate, not "Russian".
Smh.

Remember the republican meme: "Russia is our friend."

(42,862 posts)But... as long as we're making a list of things that NOBODY should be doing:
Nobody should be River Dancing in line while waiting for Hillary to sign their book.
Nobody should spray "Silly String" at Hillary while she's signing books.
Nobody should start a group sing-along of Achy-Breaky-Heart at Hillary's signing events.
NOBODY should attend a Hillary signing event in the nude.
Those are the ones that come to mind right away... feel free to add others.

OK?

(5,811 posts)and reading yet another post about people dragging Hillary, I finally realized Hillary Clinton is a black woman. Nope, I'm not playing. I'm serious. Folks will believe the most ridiculous lies about her just because she's brilliant, speaks truth and has always lived her life out loud like a sista. Hillary's got that BlackGirlMagic and folksnare pissed and jealous and bitter and stupid. However, she and WE will not be silenced by other people's self-inflicted mediocrity.

That'd compared to thousands who come out for her and books selling out.
There were some things online to protest her but as somneone said about the pro trump rally, bots won't show up in person.
