WASHINGTON (AP) - The morning after President Donald Trump issued orders to delay environmental rules and restart pipeline projects, Greenpeace protesters climbed a 270-foot construction crane blocks from the White House and unfurled a massive orange and yellow banner with the word, "RESIST."
A spokesman for the environmental group, Travis Nichols, said the protesters are encouraging resistance to Trump and his agenda. A Greenpeace statement said the demonstration is "calling for those who want to resist Trump's attacks on environmental, social, economic, and educational justice to contribute to a better America."
Police closed three city blocks to traffic around the site Wednesday morning, but officers on the scene appeared to be doing little more than monitoring the activists, who were secured with ropes and harnesses as they hung from the crane.

Stupid me, I thought that cranes were protected species.
Trump Administration is barely a week old and liberals are already having a cow.
Love it!
making themselves TOTALLY and COMPLETELY irrelevant
Damn. You can never find a sniper when you need one.
They were having cows the minute he was sworn in!!
Does the Left realize they are providing material for the Trump campaign in 2020?
Reminds me of a joke I heard about 40 years ago...Lady stops a police officer, “officer, can you please get my cat out the tree?”
Police officer turns to the lady and says “sure” removes his revolver from his holster and shoots the cat.
There are rubber bullets that will go 300 feet, I’m sure.
Don’t tell them! No I don’t think they know. Just let them act like the retarded child in the class room and we have 2020 in the bag.
Target Practice?
Trump should’ve hired Blondie (Clint Eastwood) to shoot their ropes. Okay, that’s a bit severe. How about taking the crane down while they were on it (and making them pay for it)? I doubt they’d ever do it again.
When it comes to protesting a pipeline in the Dakota, nothing says it more than climbing a crane in Washington, D.C.
Resist We Much
Shoot at them with pellet guns. make them dance.
Certainly nice to know that any terrorist armed with a projectile weapon can scale such a structure this close to the White House. Nice.
WAIT FOR AN ICE STORM
Be prepared for many, many years of pathetic entertainment as the lefty lunatics “protest” in odd ways. Hopefully, enough of them will be arrested and spend time in prison such that there will be less crowding in the cities.
