Nunes’ appearance in Fresno likely won’t be without dissent, as a grassroots demonstration is planned on Blackstone Avenue north of Shaw Avenue in front of TorNino’s Banquets, where the meeting is taking place. Nunes is slated to address the lenders at 1 p.m., according to the ALSC website. The demonstration is planned for noon to 2 p.m.

“We’re basically going to be there as a peaceful vigil,” said Nancy Griesser, a local activist. “The congressman has not held town hall meetings in years, and that is particularly apparent now with the concerns raised by the (Trump) administration and his role in the new administration.”

Griesser said five local ad hoc groups – Speak Up CD22 (named for Nunes’ 22nd Congressional District), Together We Will, Every Tuesday Vigil, Fresno Indivisible and Central Valley Indivisible – will gather on the sidewalk with signs expressing disappointment with Nunes. She said it will include some of the same people who demonstrated near Nunes’ office in Old Town Clovis last month. They will also have a cardboard cutout of Nunes to complain about his lack of public meetings with constituents.

1. I hope they made signs showing Nunes is in collusion with Russia also.

2. A heartfelt thank you to grassroots resistors.

Can't beat bottom-up peaceful, principled resistance.

3. Food for signage, TPM's "The Gravity is Strong Part #2."

...the inability to give even remotely straight answers, the need for deflections and subterfuges that are demonstrably preposterous (Manafort was a marginal figure in the campaign) keeps coming up again and again. - TPM

4. Methinks he will catch a little 'stink eye' for some of the 'good old boys' he'll be addressing too

Nunes is toxic

FRESNO- Several hundred protesters are greeting Rep. Devin Nunes back home in the Valley as his congressional committee continues investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

(Snip)

Organizers declined to allow reporters inside the event, and Nunes ducked inside through a back door and left the same way.

7. Cool!

We'll have to wait for the gossip to leak out in the next few days.

The Fresno Bee (one of those left leaning MSM outlets owned by McClatchy) is totally slamming Nunes :
