If David Dennison engineers the firing of Mueller he will be hoping for a violent response.

If David Dennison engineers the firing of Mueller he will be hoping for a violent response to distract from his perfidy and give him an excuse to crack down.

I can not say this with more clarity. We can absolutely not give it to him. Dennison and his minions couldn't care less about the rule of law. We do !

Our demonstrations must be large and peaceful with protesters from every walk of life, from suburban moms to urban hipsters, from inner city residents to rural dwellers, from members of the lgbtq community to the clergy...

I fear the day of reckoning is upon us.

we vote the enablers out of office, thats our victory

demonstrations in the streets don't matter unless it results with increased voter registration and votes cast

But America is not Syria. Massive peaceful protests will attract the gaze of the free world and harm our soft power. Even Republicans will have to take notice.

to get democrats elected.

What came out of the women's march? what impact on republicans in power in Congress. ZERO. We want action? We have to elect people who are not subservient to the Koch Brothers or installing Heritage Foundation polices in destroying our govt

But I see a nexus between large peaceful protests and voting. The former serves as a catalyst for the latter.

No, we have people more interested in marching and holding up a sign...then going door to door with voter registration drives, doing fund raising....
