If you get a metro card, you can drive to one of the stops (either Greenbelt or New Carlton is probably closest) and ride until L' Enfant Plaza. That is about a block south of the Mall and I think about 5 blocks from the start of the March. That is my plan. The trains start running at 5AM and they are standing up 12 extra trains tomorrow.

In addition, though pricier, you could catch a MARC train from BWI to New Carlton and then hop on the Metro there.

nice! appreciate it man - any idea if parking is good around there? just hoping it'd not be too full, i know here in maimi the piss-poor transit has small lots

also can you get a metro card online? was thinking that'd save some time

This.

He has been democratically elected, Americans have to respect that and try to win back in four years if they're not happy with him.


I wonder what the reaction would have been, had Ms. Clinton won the election and republicans decided to protest.

No he wasn't. The election was stolen through Russian tampering and voter suppression. Trump is an illegitimate president and frankly deserves to be forcibly removed from office and tried for treason.

agreed.

Seems hypocritical to protest this. If he does a poor job he will get impeached. People just need to chill

Protesting is a constitutional right.

Republicans could have protested her shoe choice for all I give a fuck.

Surprising the party of "partiotism" are the ones chomping to impinge our hard won rights.

Unsure, actually. This will be my first protest. WedgeX's post seems to have the best chance at attaining parking easily.

As for a metro card, you can get them online, but they mail them to you. So we both missed the cut off date on that one.

That's essentially advocating a violent revolution, you realize that?

No. There wasn't a single patronising comment made. Violence is unacceptable over a situation like this.

Am not a fan of the new president, however your a grown up society. If he fucks it up time will tell and it will be fixed. If he works and gets re-elected, there you go. Violence now is childish and wrong. Much like your comment.

Don't be blind and condescending. The man already spawned hate crimes and is installing personnel that can barely govern their way out of a paper bag. The only way you're not seeing patronizing comments is if you choose not to see it, and by the way you comment for the people protesting to appeal to their maturity shows your utter lack of empathy.

Boy, good thing you're not Judge Dredd.
 
My friend, watching this unfold live, commented - completely seriously mind you - "i wonder how many of those are paid protesters..."


After picking my jaw off the floor i said "i think i have an idea how many" and left it at that.

Yikes
 
the CBC footage has this juxtaposition of the former foreign minister trying to say what he thinks Trump means for America-Canada trade, with riot footage on the right side of the screen.

You guys really need to start challenging these answers instead of side-stepping them
 
The "paid protesters" shit becoming mainstream is fucking terrifying. It's like the ultimate denial. "Could they be mad that we elected a horrible human being? No no they must be paid by the liberal elites!"

I agree. Democracy is a double edged sword. You run the risk of electing someone that represents your interests or someone that doesn't. When you let everyone choose, sometimes they make a choice that hurts them. A huge protest won't make him and his cabinet just say "okay, you guys don't like us so let's just call this a mulligan and do another election" that's not how this works. Are the people marching going to be pooling their money together to form a new political party or fundraise for a party they want to win? What are they doing on the municipal and state level? A protest is great, you get to go out, walk with people and let everyone know how angry you are, but anger that isn't attached to a detailed plan is just pointless. People who were angry with Obama didn't go out and organize huge marches and protests, they went out and knocked on doors and got people to vote republican in local elections. I'm not a fan of trump, but it's childish to think that "resisting" begins and ends with going out for a march. Donations to local human service agencies that fight poverty, provide free legal services, and otherwise take substantial ACTION to address inequality in a community is how you resist. A march/protest just makes you a giant target. Take them by surprise, don't announce what you're doing so you can get put on some sort of watch list.

People will do things as they see fit. They will protest, they will knock on doors, they will write politicians, donate, get active in the community and more.

whats my main acxount?? youre the second person to say this to me. this is my only account.

and yes the tea party stuff is a 100% valid point. also a valid point, tossing that tea because of taxation without representation.

the protestors are doing well, i agree. but nobody here wants to ever acknowledge these idiot rioters. theyre criminal oppurtunists; just like the people who started taring and feathering people. theres always the bad apples standing by to get away with anything.
 
If only there were Starbucks in the 18th century. Probably wouldn't have gotten the Articles of Confederation if the founding fathers had a nice pumpkin spice latte to calm the nerves

To all those protesting, be safe and don't do stupid shit

I mean TACPhilly, if he is an American, is a prime example of our failure at educating our citizens. He's ignorant enough to post that shit and has no intention of accepting his failings and trying to improve himself, which would therefore make him a better citizen and contributor to society at large. I feel sorry for him but also don't really respect him for his obvious failings and lack of initiative to fix it.

Wise words, a world where Dredd is needed would be a terrible place. I can say that as the world we live in watches... We see folks rioting. What a shame. There is time for the nonsense to become totally obvious. We might even get to watch as you impeach a president. However right now we're watching crime. And crime from the "liberal sensible folks"
