It’s already become a cliché, but this is one reason why we have President Donald Trump. As Trump supporters celebrated the eve of the inauguration with a dance at the National Press Club (called “The DeploraBall” as a play on attacks on their character), Trump’s opponents gathered in the street outside to protest, and … events played out exactly as one would have guessed. NBC Washington’s Shomari Stone reported from the scene after smoke bombs got thrown by the crowd, which then complained that police used pepper spray to disperse them:

A weekend of protests over the inauguration and presidency of Donald Trump began Thursday night with police in Washington, D.C., using pepper spray on protesters demonstrating outside a pro-Trump event.
Hundreds rallied outside the National Press Club, where the event billed as DeploraBall, was being held, NBC Washington reported. Some demonstrators set off smoke devices in the middle of the crowd, and police in riot gear blocked entrance to the event.
Well, let’s get the sequence correct — and Stone himself did that on his Twitter feed. He was on scene when this broke out, and this clip shows pretty clearly that protesters had already become an unruly mob while police stayed in position outside the building. As the unrest grew, demonstrators started setting off smoke bombs well before police took any action (warning — language NSFW):

LIB lunatics gone wild. Hopefully, many of these lefty idiots will receive pepper spray and be arrested for their violence. I laugh at their uselessness.
When our side objects, it “undermines Democracy.”
Cultural marxists hired mercenaries.
Remember when Pewlosi and ilk tried to blame these tactics on the ‘tea party’? Note the silence and outrage from the seditious bitch....
Happy Tantrum Day!
Wonderful image. Wish I created it.
Nothing different then 8 years ago when we all took to the streets, burned things, blocked traffic, destroyed property, trashed neighborhoods. OH WAIT, that never happened. We complained because be knew what Obama was. We went about our normal lives, working if we had a job. Taking care of family, homes as best we could under in the Obamanation.
Anarchists don’t believe in a peaceful anything

"Hillary Clinton calls Trump a 'threat to democracy' during NC rally"

And at a different rally, she says essentially the same thing.
"That is a direct threat to our democracy. "
The sore loosers have been practicing various forms of light to medium terrorism since they lost a fair election.
Thanks. I created it in response to some pinhead democrat congress critter claiming the KKK was the party of the GOP.
Looney Libs helping Trump get off to a good start and making him stronger with every rock and obscenity they throw...
Yes, conservatives were unhappy when Obama was elected, but they went back to work, to support their families. They didn’t waste money on transportation, hotels, etc., to make a statement that is pretty much futile.
The man had been in office for less than a day. He’s done nothing that would warrant a protest. Nothing impeachable, et cetera.
No reason to protest except to get your face on television. That’s the only way Madonna could do that nowadays anyway.
That picture is priceless. :-)
