Thousands of people nationwide have vowed to spend their Presidents Day Weekend protesting President Donald Trump and his policies at "Not My President's Day" rallies scheduled to take place in at least 25 cities across the country.

"President's Day Weekend March and Rally - In support of all Immigrants and Refugees," Dallas

In Dallas, nearly 1,000 protesters flooded the streets chanting, "Immigrants are welcome here," and waving placards that read, "She persisted, and so shall we," in reference to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and the line, "Immigrants, we get the job done," from the Broadway musical "Hamilton."

Re your flow chart:

In all fairness, I started out with a similar flow chart for both Clinton and Obama—but it didn’t last.

Liberals always “vow” and “pledge” according to the press, as if either from a liberal means squat.

My HS had rallies for our football team in the gym.

That was over 1000 students.

We could all be walking around the same place and it would hardly be a “flood” of people

TALKING POINTS: Obama-linked anti-Trump activists get a ‘training manual’ to protest Trump By Paul Sperry, NY POST

An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.

Organizing for Action, a group founded by Obama and featured prominently on his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to anti-Trump activists that advises them to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off support for repealing ObamaCare, curbing immigration from high-risk Islamic nations, and building a border wall.

In a new Facebook post, OFA calls on activists to mobilize against Republicans from now until Feb. 26, when “representatives are going to be in their home districts.”

The protesters disrupted town halls earlier this month, including one held in Utah by House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz, who was confronted by hundreds of angry demonstrators claiming to be his constituents.

The manual, published with OFA partner “Indivisible,” advises protesters to go into halls quietly so as not to raise alarms, and “grab seats at the front of the room but do not all sit together.” Rather, spread out in pairs to make it seem like the whole room opposes the Republican host’s positions. “This will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus.” It also urges them to ask “hostile” questions — while keeping “a firm hold on the mic” — and loudly boo the the GOP politician if he isn’t “giving you real answers.”

“Express your concern [to the event’s hosts] they are giving a platform to pro-Trump authoritarianism, racism, and corruption,” it says.

The goal is to make Republicans, even from safe districts, second-guess their support for the Trump agenda, and to prime “the ground for the 2018 midterms when Democrats retake power.”

“Even the safest [Republican] will be deeply alarmed by signs of organized opposition,” the Obama document states, “because these actions create the impression that they’re not connected to their district and not listening to their constituents.”

“Unfavorable exchanges caught on video can be devastating” for Republican lawmakers, it says, when “shared through social media and picked up by local and national media.” After protesters gave MSNBC, CNN and the networks footage of their dust-up with Chaffetz, for example, the outlets ran them continuously, forcing Chaffetz to issue statements defending himself.

--SNIP-- Michelle and I are going to be with you. I’ve got all kinds of thoughts and ideas about it, but this isn’t the best time to share them. “Point is," Obama says, " I’m still fired up and ready to go, and I hope that all of you are, as well.”

We need ships and planes in all the cities with protests. But big signs up “FREE WEED INSIDE”, then it’s off to Antarctica where they can whine about global warming while freezing their butts off and eating penguin droppings. Problem solved.

Apparently that's happening. Normal people elected Trump and seem to remain in his support. This was a miracle, from my viewpoint, because I thought the USA lost until Trump was elected. Then I realized that there was a reservoir of sanity sufficient to save America.

The rest of America is decadent and delusional.

The future of America and her children depends upon the spread of sanity and the conquest of the delusion. Pray for America and her children.

Perpetuation of the delusion is in the interests of the jerks in the Media. They probably truly don't understand the Trump Revolution or the accusations of dishonesty because they are so suffused themselves with the decadence and delusion that sanity appears to be madness.

On the other hand, maybe I'm giving them too much credit. They are about as capable as anyone else of recognizing truth, and they obviously choose not to.

Wait until Trump economy heats up. Then there will be no time to protest.

They try to anything and they will simply ask for trouble. Remember a number of Trump supporters are armed.
