Hoping to ride the coattails of the massive Women’s March on Washington, a liberal organization is riding the momentum for a wave of demonstrations against the cabinet appointees of President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
There are over 100 “Stop Trump’s #SwampCabinet” events planned by the billionaire global financier George Soros-funded group MoveOn.org.
“Republicans are trying push through some of the most problematic, troubling nominees ever. He must be stopped,” MoveOn wrote in their protest announcement. “That’s why, on Tuesday, January 24th, MoveOn members are joining with Working Families Party, People's Action, and other allies across the country to rally Democratic and Republican senators with a clear message: ‘Stop the #SwampCabinet.’”
The rallies will be taking place at local district Senator offices, urging a delay in confirmation or cancellation of Trump’s cabinet choices. The three cabinet appointees that the organization is most vociferously protesting are philanthropist Betsy DeVos, for Secretary of Education; Georgia Representative Tom Price, for Secretary of Health and Human Services; and Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions for Attorney General.
“Ever wonder what you would have done during the civil rights movement? Or anti-war protests? We're in a historic struggle right now for the future of this country, and we need to demand our Senators stand with us,” the hosts of the protest at Maryland Senator Ben Cardin’s office wrote.
It is highly unlikely that President Trump’s cabinet nominees will be blocked, as three years ago the Democrats forced through controversial new rules, called the “nuclear option,” allowing all presidential appointments to the executive or judiciary branches (with an exception for Supreme Court Justices), to be conformed by a simple majority.
In order for any of Trump’s appointees to be turned down, it would require Republicans to vote against them, which currently appears to be a lost cause for Democrats.
Nuclear Option. Dumbasses. :)
These “demonstrations” are getting so repetitive that they’re just going to bore the public—and Congress—to tears!
Once that happens, all the “MoveOns” of the world will fail miserably!! Good!!!!
I agree.
Use it up in the first week, assholes!
President Trump needs to cut welfare so these parasites will have to find something useful to do. Mooching off productive Americans and then complaining is both undignified and ungrateful.
MoveOn.org=George Soros.
Trump’s cabinet picks must be even better than I thought.
The usual “Death to America” mobs.
If it wasn’t this phony ‘cause’ it would be some other.
Shall we hope for more arrests on Tuesday?
It’s kinda cool that they just show up on the D.C. street, all together and out in the open. Fish in a barrel.
And ONE incident of violence DJT better bring the hammer down. So sick of these “demonstrators” setting property on fire and smashing windows, assaulting people.
Demonstrators on Tuesday. Gee why don’t I do that too. Oh Oh, I know, I have a JOB. Perhaps if we kicked these parasites off whatever public support they are getting, including school loans, they would get the message: I am tired of listening to you run your mouths while doing not a f..k..g thing to make your own way. ENOUGH.
At least now they’re getting arrested and charged. I’m not thrilled with these no bail releases, though.
It won’t stop until their funders are locked up. Start with Soros.
Many if not most of these are probably paid agitators and their money source needs to exposed and the free buses need to go away.
Follow the money and then see to it that any illicit funding is dried up.
Why don’t these people have to go to work? This needs to be investigated and then the truth exposed by real journalists.
This is it. He’s going to quit now.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
