Not enough fingers for me. I thrive on their hatred, and all we got was a buttload of honks and waves and thumbs-up.

Where we had about 50 intrepid protesters turn out in 28 degree weather to let Joni Ernst know we want her to vote to impeach and remove tRump. We also would like to remove her while we are at it.

Haven’t seen any numbers, it’s just my estimate. It was heart warming to see so many people. Boisterous but not obnoxious. Didn’t see any confrontations or anything, didn’t even see any police.

They got shutdown quick and moved on...ended up with about 600 or so....my estimate.

Had some state reps and Denny Heck's district director

Looking at the stairs from the podium, they were up toward the top on the right hand side, yelled "where's the proof" a couple times and got shouted down and I thought they left but it's dark so was hard to tell

There were at least two rounds of "where's the proof?" one of which simply got ignored and the other shouted down.

There was also someone with a huge Tulsi sign. That's almost a counterprotest...
