WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Tens of thousands of nationalists marched in a demonstration organized by far-right groups in Warsaw Saturday, as Poles celebrated their country's Independence Day.
The far-right march was one of many events marking Poland's rebirth as a nation in 1918 after being wiped off the map for 123 years. Earlier in the day, President Andrzej Duda presided over state ceremonies also attended by European Union president Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister.
But the march has become the largest Independence Day event in recent years, overshadowing official state observances and other patriotic events. Some participants expressed sympathy for xenophobic or white supremacist ideas, with one banner reading, "White Europe of brotherly nations."

If you have Amazon Prime and/or Fire you should watch this movie. It's made by a Danish man, about age 35, who returns to Denmark after 15 years living in America to see what has changed. His time away makes the huge impact of the Muslim influx that much more obvious to him.
A simple but excellent film, very much showing what Poland is seeking to avoid.

It’s standard procedure for AP: anything not deemed “progressive” is “far-right”.
Uh, rules? Nothing from AP posted here, correct?

“Its not enough yet to cause a rebellion, but if they dont back off, which they wont and cant, it will become one as a matter of mere survival. Thats my prediction...”
Agreed. That is why I feel it's crucial that we have Poland style demonstrations in D.C. to show the Deep State that we have Trump's back, that we won't just sit back and watch an extra judicial coup d'etat take place. As long as we appear passive and apathetic, they will continue to push forward. They have to be made aware that there will be consequences for their actions. The Deep State isn't afraid of us and up to this point, they have no reason to be.

(The above is not a statement of fact. It is either satire or opinion. Or both.)
To: Hugh the Scot
I wish I could answer that. I believe it has to be truly organic, it has to be driven by a deep desire within the people that “this is last thing available to us” short of open rebellion. Sadly, I'm afraid too few people have that sense of urgency right now. American conservatives, by temperament, tend to be the last group inclined to get involved in protest type of movements.

We need to start planning for the next eventualities. I don't know which event will happen first, but I am sure one of these will be happening soon:
- Dems win the House, Trump is impeached.
- Mueller arrests Trump or his family.
It will be interesting to see if the Right rises up to protest either of those extra-electoral coup methods that the Left is clearly going to use.
To: Jack Black
Well said. I believe that Steve Bannon is doing as much as he can on the grass roots level; any type of true populist, America first (Trump) movement will have to follow his blue print or work with him. I agree that one of your two scenarios is definitely what the deep state is planning; if people will not protest against those potential outcomes, then I have serious doubts as to whether they will take the final steps that our Founding Fathers did. These are very dangerous times.

Would have been better without an antisemitic minority wishing to finish the communist job of the 1960s by expelling Jews. There were even mentally-ill traitors using Nazi symbols.

If two Caucasians stand next to each other and enjoy anything they instantly become antisemitic Nazis. Everyone knows that.

Anyone who doesn’t support the mass murderers Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot are right-wingers to the execrable beasts and insects at the AP.

“Mueller arrests Trump or his family.”
With what? His Cracker Box badge?
Mueller is toast and that has been made clear to him.
To: Jack Black
you are correct. The 60K were NOT "far right, white racists"
There WERE about 50 to 55 neo-nazi idiots of the ONR
BUT, but, the majority were patriotic families with kids. There were many black, Asian, South Asian etc. marchers (foreigners or nativised) who were marching along with Poles - everyone was friendly and welcomed these non-Poles
The media smeared all of Poland with their coverage -- I was in the march and I saw no "white racists" and I marched alongside a filipina and an Indian Catholic friend.
