They want Trump gone. Two dozen protesters are hoping Marco Rubio will lead the way
Miami Herald ^ | 1/31/17 | Monique O. Madan

With posters that read “Remove the POTUS,” about two dozen protesters gathered outside U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio’s office in Doral Tuesday and chanted “Stop Trump’s Swamp’s Cabinet,” as cars honked along Northwest 36th Street.

“To see a person of such little intellect in a leadership role and failing badly makes me sick; it makes us all fail,” said Palmetto Bay’s John Taylor, 73. “I am asking that Rubio make moves to remove [Trump]. Somebody has to step up and save this nation, save this democracy.”

Some posters read “How about appointees that actually qualified?” while others sported signs with the names “Rick Perry, Steve Mnuchin, Jeff Sessions, Scott Pruitt and Betsy DeVos” with a giant “X” crossed through them. All were nominated for cabinet positions by Trump.

Other signs said #NoWall #NoBan.

“We are here to hold our senator accountable, and to call him out to vote for his conscience before party and his personal interests,” said organizer Roberta Alba, who works with the local community organization Move Forward South Florida.

Rubio did not return phone calls from the Miami Herald on Tuesday. A Rubio spokesman emailed a statement to a Herald reporter later in the day: “The leftwing [sic] extremists at Move.On org and their paid protestors are entitled to express their opinions, and like all presidents, Trump is entitled to nominate his cabinet.’’

Also at the protest were about five Trump supporters.

“I am hoping to remind our senator to support our president and whatever endeavors he may have, to not become an obstructionist like the rest, for him to put our priorities in line,” said Alida Rivero of Miami. “Let’s get on with things.”

So in other words, a few baby boomers from The Villages decided to hop on the AARP/Soros bus for a day.

“Qualified” to the left means being well versed in left-wing slogans and ideologically committed to government dominance.

These ####suckers dont like the pick so they want him overthrown.

We didn’t act like bitches when that @#$#$ @#$@ @#$@ was in office.

My advice to each and every one of those that want a coup, go #### your mothers. They’re probably all whores anyway.

Nobody’s get overthrown.

Stop crying like faggots.

Remember the ##### your voted for said “elections have consequences”

Anyway, if anyone tries a coup or whatever I can promise their DEATH.

Trump isn’t a faggot like rubio or mccain or linda or whoever.

Only GOP I can think of that is just as tough is Rudy, and though I LOVE RUDY and always will, Trump is a lot more conservative.

I am pleasantly shocked. Thought he was a populist, not a conservative.

Rudy still rocks in my NYC book though :)

We may yet have a mini civil war coming.

Save democracy by overturning the election results they don't like. What an intellect!

At the very least, wholesale regional insurrection.

Yeah but this time the national guard and the military answer to the president.

I don’t know what situations that military can be used in but I think the NG answers ultimately to the president, right?

####ing crybaby bitches.

I’m sure Trump already has full control over the traitors in the military or they are already gone.

“Stop Trump’s Swamp’s Cabinet.” That just rolls off the tongue. Marco should take them up on this. First step: switch parties.

73 years old and he has no idea how things work. Impeachment begins in the House. They should be at a Democrat congressperson’s office.

Law and order will be restored and will most probably be extremely painful and even deadly to the anarchists - something they aren’t accustomed to.

Two dozen protestors? The line is longer for Cuban coffee and pastelitos at Versailles in the morning. Next.
