The Protest in Pagosa Springs, CO had about 200 ppl

It’s a small tourist town for those that don’t know it. I was surprised by the turnout given that almost everyone there only heard about it a day or 2 ago. 40+% of the cars honked or waved . The paint on my sign was still drying - I only heard about it yesterday.

don't know which one you are, but you all look great! I didn't hear of it at all, but couldn't have gone. Maybe the next one. Feels good, doesn't it?

Drive by 3-4 times - I hadn’t seen one for awhile and forgot how homoerotic it is 😳They had removed their front and back license plates. It was followed by a truck that ‘coal-rolled’ the protest.

There was much laughter. 😂

there were enough LEO's left with a spine that would arrest him. Treat him like the terrorist, spy and junkie that he is. It should have already happened for accessing the Treasury Dept.'s payment system. I'm sure there are some CIA, Secret Service and FBI agents that have grandmothers and grandfathers that are scared shitless that their SS and Medicare are going to be taken away from them.

Oh, and just like Dear Leader (TSF) said last go 'round, rough him up just a bit as they're putting him into the police vehicle.

Other ppl at the protest had flags, but I didn’t see any others that were upside down.

It’s the symbol of ‘dire distress’ according to US Flag Code.

I just googled it, and apparently the NRA is trying to flip it as being supportive of tRump !!!
🤨🤬
