Someone posted info about a protest on DU and I fear

that it may be one that was organized by Russians and was posted on Facebook. I read it here a few days ago...a protest being organized to have a Black Lives Matter/ anti-North Carolina rally. I can't find it now though.

CNN has been running the story that Facebook has spotted several RUSSIAN CREATED PROTESTS to instigate more violence and division. If you know of this protest or others always double check the sources please. If you plan on attending a protest stay peaceful and safe! There are real groups like The Proud Boys who want to start fights...DO NOT FALL FOR IT!

Here is the post and the article.

MASS PROTEST TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S MILITARY PARADE IF IT OCCURS
Washington, DC – Leaders of major peace and anti-war organizations met on February 28, 2018 to collaborate on actions to bring hundreds of thousands of people to Washington, DC in November to protest President Trump’s military parade and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I.

What is the history of past presidents and their pets?

Most of them seem to have had a dog or a cat while in office. Does the current pseudo prez dislike animals or (most likely) do they dislike him? I am fairly certain any pet he has/had would try their best to run away or perhaps no one will allow him to adopt due to animal abuse/cruelty.

Ryan is not going to impeach Rosenstein but

it is tabled until Sept. Jordan plans on taking Ryan's seat when he designs after his term.

This guy STILL has to address his role in the issue of wrestlers who experienced sexual abuse. He denies being told about this while the wrestlers stand adamant.

CNN Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo

seem to having a difference of opinion lately. I have noticed that Lemon is not very positive about the level of progress against tRump overall while Cuomo seems to be "taking the sunny side of the street" during their handoff this week. Normally I watch MSNBC so I am not sure if this is new or not. Is anyone a regular viewer who can tell me if this is their normal position on all things tRump or not?

IF ROSENSTEIN IS FIRED WE HIT THE STREETS ASAP!

Chris Hayes just mentioned tonight that Jordan is at it again and is trying to Impeach Rosenstein. NO WAY WILL WE LET THAT HAPPEN!

We will respond within hours. This has been planned since Dec and we are mobilized and ready....

"Trump will create a constitutional crisis if he fires special counsel Robert Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees Mueller, or attempts to compromise the investigation by other means. (See The Plan for details.)

Our response in the hours following a potential power grab will dictate what happens next—whether Congress will stand up to Trump or allow him to move our democracy toward authoritarianism.

That's why we're preparing to hold emergency "Nobody Is Above the Law" rallies around the country, in the event they are needed—900+ of them and counting, in every state, with 350,000 RSVPs to date!
Join us."
Spread the word..RESIST...REMOVE...Peace.

Ha! NOW he is canceling special invitation to Putin.

This occurs AFTER Putin already turned the offer down. Now he says "next year" would be a better time to meet.
*At least a Putin and the moron meeting/visit won't screw up the midterms even more than they already have.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
