I hate republicans more than ever after seeing their smug faces up close.

6. Not really good at estimating crowds,
Lots of boos and no cheers when the limos went by.

2. Do you have any idea why Rethugs support him?
Did they look like people who had been absorbed by the "Borg?" Or Stepford people, or whatever?

9. No but a 50 y/o rehtug grabbed by friend (30ish female)
Talk about irrationality. We were 3 women walking on a sidewalk and this guy wanted to start some shit. I'm not one to take it, so I got up in his face. He backed off. He'd have been stupid to hit me in front of 100s of cops. But then again he was a rethug. I put nothing past them

10. A lot of smug face and "Four more years"
That's all they seem to know how to say. Also, a lot of "sheeple" Generally, they seemed nervous to be around the protesters as if we're the war mongers or something. We got called "communists" a lot.

5. How'd you stand it?
I thought I could watch the coverage, but I turned it off early this morning.

I thought I could watch the evening news, but the first thing I saw when I turned it on was a closeup of Mr. and Mrs. Smuggest Faces ever, Junior and Pickles. I have never seen the Mrs. look quite that self-satisfied and self-important. I had to turn that right off too.

13. We didn't see any of them up close.
They didn't dare step out of the limo near the protesters.

I am happy to report that there was a lot of booing and jeering at the 4 media trucks.

11. No I wish we had thought of that. Some kids had made a snowman by us.
Would have been great to hurl the whole thing his way.

15. Yeah. We wanted to be counted and we wanted to show * and the world that
there is no mandate, damn it. A friend told me "well it won't do any good." She's wrong. It will and we are going to keep protesting and holding this admin to task.
