Have to go around the world to get real news ....

[GnuThere]

I want Trump to keep moving so fast on his agenda that the paid protesters and useful idiots get tired and unfocused. Based on Watters’ World, many of them don’t even know what they’re protesting in the first place.

Yesterday was the “day without immigrants”?

Seriously. I never noticed. Perhaps a little less traffic? I don’t know.

They’re actually afraid of being arrested and now deported. That’s probably the nasty little secret to these “protests.”

Strike4Democracy

Strike4Democracy is a broad umbrella for coordinated national actions on Friday, 2/17, which will serve as an opening blow in a campaign to stand up for America’s democratic principles. As we witness expanded ICE raids, travel bans, Trump’s mobilization on the border wall, as well as attacks on the rights of workers, women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, and our environment, people across the country have begun to realize that we must diversify tactics, as protests and marches are only the first step. Strike4Democracy amplifies a new chapter of nonviolent resistance ushered in over the last six weeks by calling for strikes that grow in number and power.

Whether you do not work on February 17th or simply don’t make any purchases (see “How We Strike”), our hope is that you will use this as a day to stand in solidarity with other concerned friends, family and co-workers and organize for the future. February 17 is a day of strike actions and planning that preview an even larger mass strike on March 8, organized by International Women’s Day and The Women’s March. We also anticipate strikes on May Day and a heightening resistance throughout the summer.

Their media contact is listed as one Eric Williams.

I see their sign names their master.

These communists are getting whipped real bad.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

In nyc you can get 16,000 leftists out to protest when a cockroach does.

The word was die,kindle, not does.

...
Perhaps Trump is creating so many jobs even the soros-paid unemployed protesters are finding jobs.
I sure hope they shower before stating their jobs.

I didn’t notice anything different during yesterday’s “Day Without Immigrants.”

Then again, I did not visit a prison, emergency room or DMV yesterday.

[aces]

Yep and overload the liberal courts ...

[aces]

Lol..la cocaracha is morte..fire up the grill ...lol

[Jimmy The Snake]

Like that old adage...

suppose the gave a protest and nobody showed up?

[GailA]

I visited 2 places yesterday, Kroger’s ran as normal, DQ also ran as normal. Then again no hispanics. But the neighborhood is getting new houses, and the hammers could be heard, even with hearing aids. No work, no job, that is how day labor goes.

[omegabea]

Thanks for the coffee laden laugh. Good one!

[rochester_veteran]

Yup, Fedora, Satan is behind all of these leftist radical "one worlders". I've been doing some Internet searches on who is funding Strike4Democracy and even Discover the Networks doesn't have a listing for them. Taking an educated guess, Soros is a usual source for funding radical leftists.

[Fedora]

They seem to be a pretty new group--their website was set up February 2; they're probably more of a networking umbrella for existing groups. If you find anything interesting, please let me know; I'm looking into who's behind them, too. Their website's registrant contact is Oneandone Private Registration in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania, which doesn't tell me much apart from the likelihood of them having a local contact there--probably linked to the same groups who organized this: PHOTOS: Anti-Trump Protesters Flood Philly Streets. Probably the most efficient way to find out who's behind them is to see who's organizing the local rallies in their network.
