Shut DC this country down, folks! (With the notable exception of José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen, of course.)

Definitely time to break out the pitchforks and torches.

A riot is an ugly thing, and I think that it is just about time that we had one!

Good.

A rather international-type occurrence.

Even in “oppressed” countries.

Be surprised how much people listen to masses of folks.

the protesters plan to head to the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

Like AOC last week they will be running all over the place. My take, look for the nearest shitter to the leaders office where you’ll find The Turtle.

I sincerely hope Republican Senators who vote tomorrow on reopening the government understand the level of frustration, anger, and suffering that’s out there all across America. If they don’t do their jobs, they may well be inviting an uprising.

What I’d really like to see is for the torch-and-pitchfork crowd to descend on every Toadglans property in the country. We all know how the rich and worthless hate to be inconvenienced by the hoi polloi.

Excellent. This is exactly what needs to happen. We’re in a DEMOCRACY for pity’s sake – and us PEOPLE need to FLEX our collective muscles.

It has to be non-violent. But numbers…LOTS of numbers, are a key.

One of the requirements of anchor duty used to be FIELD REPORTING. As an example of the cream-puffs inhabiting the “news” these days, I laughed almost to the point of tears when I saw the contrast between the calm demeanor of Richard Engel and the man standing beside him (Brian Williams, who was scared out of his MIND) on site in Cairo some years back.

Those old journalists back in the day would have been giving non-stop anchor editorials of the what, who and how of the Drumpf-Coulter-Limbaugh-McConnell con-job**

** Known as “The Shutdown”

Wonder if the protesters will also go to the White House and gather outside it, too. Maybe they can drown out the teevee.

It’s a short walk to the White House.

McConnell and his enablement should be the proper target of our anger. Toadglans never would have held the government hostage for this long without his help.

If you miss one month’s premiums, you are no longer insured. Trump continues to do incredible harm through stupidity
