Anti-Trump Activists Plan Road-Blocking 'Cluster****' for Inauguration
U.S. News & World Report ^ | Dec. 15, 2016 | Steven Nelson

The last time a Republican was elected president after losing the popular vote, George W. Bush’s inaugural parade turned into a tunnel of boos and rude signs, as eggs – and some protesters – flew over security fences toward the motorcade.

Organizers anticipate even more visible dissent when Donald Trump rolls down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the White House on Jan. 20.

One major faction plans an orderly but large demonstration along the parade route. But a more radical effort operating under the tagline “no peaceful transition” seeks to block major roads into the nation’s capital and prevent foot traffic from reaching security checkpoints along the route.

“So, we’re going for what I’d generally term a clusterf--k,” says Legba Carrefour, a local anarchist handling press for the more radical protest-organizing network DisruptJ20, which has more than 1,700 Facebook group members.

“We are planning to shut down the inauguration, that’s the short of it,” he says. “We’re pretty literal about that, we are trying to create citywide paralysis on a level that I don’t think has been seen in D.C. before. We’re trying to shut down pretty much every ingress into the city as well as every checkpoint around the actual inauguration parade route.”

I thought about this last week. We remember how they blocked a major road, I think in Arizona, during the primaries. They could block major roads from the airport and other strategic locations to really screw it up. They could cause hours and hours of delays.

I hope that the FBI and the SS after being treated like dogs by the Marxist Administration will once again take their oaths of office seriously and remove, with extreme prejudice, all those loonies who commit acts of violence at the inaugural.

Something tells me that they are not considering the fact that, next time a dummycrat gets elected, we ain’t gonna be so nice about it, and our side has most the...well, brains at least.

Trump should be sworn in private first and then have the public ceremony

To be fair - if anyone knows about Cluster effs - it's Legba and her (his?) ilk.

They're worried there ain't gonna be no next time. I think they have reason to worry. More every day, in fact.

I’d rather see a couple of columns of Abrams tanks.

I haven’t driven one since the mid 90s but if they needed volunteer crew members, I’d go.
