Any evidence that this is so?

Women! Shouting! Goodness how uncivil! Haven’t they read the WaPo editorial page?

Also - what was Jayapal charged with? She’s a congresswoman in a congressional office building.

”…hundreds of loudly chanting women…”

Trump’s. Worst. Nightmare.

In every city, and every state, across one fully-woke and royally pissed-off America.

And all headed for the ballot box in November.

Tick tock, GOP, tick tock…

The First Amendment protects your right to free speech, your right to lawfully assemble and your right to petition your Congressman for a redress of grievances. Exercise those rights in front of your Congressman in Washington, DC and you get arrested.

Chris Matthews starts his segment with, “What kind of a country do you want to live in?”

I know we wouldn’t be in this mess if you didn’t help push the needle just a bit, Tweety.

Real Americans, every one. Having flag mudflaps doesn’t make you a real American. Knowing and exercising your rights and building a better society is what makes you a real American.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was also there, apparently not arrested. Maybe because it was a Senate office building? They were both wearing their pins.

Here’s more evidence of fighting back:

Basically, Illinois unions have vowed to take down Rauner and have got another GOPer on the ballot to split his vote. Those are the kind of innovative, aggressive tactics that should be used at every opportunity.

Jayapal, who was born in India, tweeted a video of herself in which she said she was proud to be arrested to protest Trump’s zero-tolerance policy.

And I am proud of and glad to have her as a member of Congress :heart:

Maybe it’ll be picked up with Saturday’s news on the Familes Belong Together rallies happening across the nation, if not today.

Shades of Erdogan’s Turkey, soon he will arrest select people and then, while in Helsinki with his saviour he will fake a coup so Putin can protect him.
I wish him nightmares of Hillary smothering him with her thunder thighs while whipping him with a riding crop while attractive anchor women with blood coming out of their eyes report in real time on life TV.

This comes to mind when I think of Matthews:

Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.
