NBC- Protests against President-elect Donald Trump took a chaotic turn on the eve of his inauguration as demonstrators set off smoke devices and lit Trump merchandise on fire in downtown Washington, D.C.
D.C. police officers wearing riot gear formed a wall near 13th and F streets NW Thursday night.
Protesters with the group Refuse Fascism converged on the street in front of the nearby National Press Club, where some Trump supporters are attending an event called the DeploraBall.
Demonstrators accused Trump of being a racist who emboldened white supremacists.
I thought all these folks moved to Canada!
One of these things is not like the others, One of these things just doesn’t belong, Can you tell which thing is not like the others. By the time I finish my song?
Work boots?
Would that be workboots?
Oh, dear, oh my, oh what shall the snowflakes do, when Trump is sworn in and the world DOES NOT END?
Oh dear, oh my, what SHALL they do?
“Protesters with the group Refuse Fascism” … “Demonstrators accused Trump of being a racist who emboldened white supremacists.”
Oh, the irony when the white racists and fascists come to town to protest!
If he wasn’t wearing the hat when he lit it, he’s a pussy.
