Susan Sarandon was one of the roughly 575 people arrested during a Capitol Hill protest of President Trump's immigration policies and family separations at the southern border on Thursday. The group, including Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington state, were charged with unlawfully demonstrating.

Sarandon tweeted from the rally, where she and other women carried banners that said, "We demand ... end all detention camps." They also declared, "We care," in response to the jacket first lady Melania Trump wore last week.

The protest took place in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building. According to U.S. Capitol Police, the individuals were processed on the scene and released. The demonstrators were there to protest the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy that treats all illegal border crossings as criminal offenses. Mr. Trump signed an executive order last week ending family separations, but up some 2,000 children remained separated. A federal judge has ordered that families separated at the border be reunited within 30 days.

Sarandon tweeted, "Arrested. Stay strong. Keep fighting. #WomenDisobey,"

Burn her at the stake?

Up here, “Colder than a witch’s tit” is still occasionally heard, but not in mixed company!

For me, it was funny how I remembered that saying “tits in a wringer”. I had not thought of it in decades, the saying was lost to the fog of time, and I was walking through a antique store, and there was a wringer. A real one with the rollers and big handle all attached to the top of a large tin bucket, and boom...it came right back to me!

I was 18 working my first job in a factory right out of high school before starting college and wasn’t used to women talking this way. Your comment triggered it again. :)

Hehehe...I can still see my mother, her dark Italian/Armenian face flashing with anger, her elbow pointing at the ground and her cigarette in her hand, with her left hand holding her right elbow as she said it!

My mom was a good woman, but when she got angry, she boiled quickly!

Thanks EdnaMode.

[snip] The one-time Bernie Sanders supporter also responded to the criticism she faced in choosing to support Sanders, and eventually Jill Stein, in the presidential election. “I think those people are just at a loss of really examining what happened,” she told New York. “And it’s easy to blame me. But I mean, seriously, there’s me and Viggo Mortensen against all the people that supported Hillary. That would mean that we outweighed Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Katy Perry, Julia Roberts, I mean every single person. Does that make sense to you? You know what I’m saying? I don’t think it’s rational, it’s not based in anything rational. It’s just a way to not deal with reality.” Sarandon continued with a call for unity, and compared the current divisiveness in American politics to being “in third grade and playing a blame game.” [/snip]
