From Palo Alto to D.C.: Residents plan to protest inauguration
Mercury News ^ | 01/05/2017 | By JACQUELINE LEE

Some Palo Alto residents are headed to Washington, D.C. while others are organizing locally to protest the inauguration of president-elect Donald Trump later this month.

Holly Brady, a Palo Alto writer, will be in the nation’s capital for the Women’s March on Washington on Jan. 21.

The protest takes place the day after Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

Brady said she’s offended by Trump’s comments about women, especially his reference to grabbing women in the genitals. She’s also concerned that he will roll back women’s rights to abortion and follow through with plans to deport immigrants.

“Every time I hear Trump on TV making outrageous statements that somehow draw people to him, I feel a visceral kick,” Brady said.

The high cost of hotels in D.C. during the inauguration was a drawback and Brady made the decision to protest there only after she managed to find housing and travel with a group from St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Palo Alto.

“I guess I can give the money I’m using for my airfare to the Southern Poverty Law Center,” Brady said, “but it feels really important right now to stand up and be counted.”

Other Palo Alto residents plan to attend marches on the same day in San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento, among other Northern California locations.

The Peninsula Peace and Justice Center has organized a #NotOurPresident protest on the day of the inauguration, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Jan. 20. Protesters will hold signs to form a “human billboard” picket at the corner of El Camino Real and Embarcadero Road.

Paul George, the center’s director, said the roadside protest is a reaction to the mean-spirited nature of Trump’s campaign.

Here’s the story
Of a gal named Brady
Who was walking round with
Many ugly girls

All wore woven p*ssy caps
On their noggins
To hide their
Unwashed curls

Oh Goody. Just when the metro is lousy, delayed, or just not working.

I get really cranky when I can’t get to where I need to go.

The wymyn are very mad and sad about Trumps sexism but sad that Bill Clinton won’t be their next First Lady

They are mad that Melania stands by her husband for some vulgar joke he made in private to one guy before he was married to her... But defensive about why Hillary stayed married to Bill after a marriage full of adultery, rape and he lied to Congress and repeatedly fellated and sodomized an intern in the Oval Office

They are mad that Ivanka loves her Dad
But silent about how Chelsea had to be a pho op walking between her parents after the blue dress, and how Chelsea sat beside daddy while his rape victims were in the audience at the debate

So they are planning an Inaugural Bawl!

follow through with plans to deport immigrants.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No immigrants will be deported.

Only illegal aliens.

Immigrants are people who applied in their home country to be Americans, paid their fees, waited their turn, learned the language and complied with the laws.

Illegal aliens did none of these and they will be deported.

Good one...maybe she was one of the Brady Bunch!??

I’ll bet that only 2% of the wymyn marching have ever had their genitals touched by any man.

The Never-Trumpers are all members or supporters of groups that receive some sort of special government treatment.

Or they are supporters of some sort of leftist government program.

And they all sense the end of their free ride or special access is near.

It might be welfare or other handouts, tax breaks, subsidized medical, invites to the White House, Affirmative Action, special treatment due to sexual perversion, anti-Jewish or pro-muslim government programs, support for Black Lives matter, open borders, government grants, etc.

One way or another they know that President Trump is going to change their world.

“I feel a visceral kick” “but it feels really important” - If she ever stops feeling, maybe she can start thinking.
