In just one day Donal Trump will be the president of the United States. Even though the president-elect was accused by Republican primary opponent Ted Cruz of having "New York values," it appears that New Yorkers are ready to resist "Trump values."

Mayor Bill de Blasio and a host of activism organizations and celebrities will hold an inauguration eve protest in front of the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Columbus Circle. The protest is expected to be attended by stars such as Sally Field, Mark Ruffalo, Rosie Perez, Alec Baldwin, Marisa Tomei, Julianne Moore, Cynthia Nixon, Natalie Merchant, Michael Moore and Shailene Woodley and activists such as Al Sharpton and members of Planned Parenthood of New York City, the Working Families Party, Families USA, Greenpeace US and New York Communities for Change, according to a news release.

Robert DeNiro will also apparently speak at the rally, according to Michael Moore.

Just drag a 5 dollar bill through New York City and you can reel in all kinds of scum suckers.

(a tip of the hat to James Carville)

What MAYOR of any city, town or burg would INVITE trouble? And how do the Taxpayers (who pay his salary!) not counter-protest?

It’s insanity - but keep showing us who you are!

[originalbuckeye]

Is that a picture of the embarrassing de Blasio family’s ‘Smack Down Dance’? I saw them do their smack down dance when he was elected.......I figured New York City was getting exactly what they had voted for.......

Nuke it from space, it’s the only way to be sure.

[PSUGOP]

I hope someone is feeding the pigeons today.

[bgill]

It’d be funny if the Trump sons move all interests out of NYC.

[wardamneagle]

YAWN !!!!!

[Cobra64]

How do you expect them to be arrested when the MAYOR is there? This is not a complicated concept.

[Rome2000]

Good plan.

This is basically a communist party USA rally.

The enemy within needs to be destroyed

[b4me]

He/it will only turn more people against him and the dems.

OOOOOooooooo, I'm SOOOOO impressed. Not. If a bunch of complete a@@es want to publicly demonstrate their unfortunate state of a@@hood, don't let me stop you. That the mayor, DeDumDum, would denigrate the office of mayor by participating in this shanda just goes to show what a complete moron he, just like I've frequently been saying here at FR. He is a commie, a complete loser, and a disgrace. And, he's being investigated on a number of corruption charges lately. Good! I hope they jail him on corruption convictions for a good long time.

I spit on him!

“I hope they keep this up, it will just make Trump stronger and stronger.”

Yup, 2018 is right around the corner, then 2020....

I think that they are planning to march in DC. Da mayor, Debby is not the mayor of DC

Why would they march in NYC, when Trump is DC for his inauguration?

If they block traffic in DC, hopefully they will be arrested.

[Grampa Dave]

Excellent question! I added a couple of words: liberal elites

The left whines about the rich, calls the middle class deplorable, but then listen to only what the rich liberal elites have to say. Got it.

[sphinx]

I assume this protest is in NYC. Is there a Columbus Circle at or near the Trump Tower?

[Cobra64]

Columbus Circle in New York City, not D.C. DeBlasio is mayor of NYC.

[RegulatorCountry]

What? It’s in front of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC.

[sphinx]

Trump’s hotel in DC is not on Columbus Circle.

[Grampa Dave]

I know who, the idiot mayor of NYC is.

Why are he and his over the hill gang picketing a Trump hotel in NYC, when Trump and his family aren’t there?

[Dawgreg]

ROTFL!!!
