Democrats plot protest for Trump’s speech to Congress
By Mike Lillis and Rafael Bernal - 02/02/17 06:00 AM EST

House Democrats are rallying behind a plan to make President Trump’s first speech to Congress as uncomfortable as possible by inviting guests they say will suffer under new White House policies.

The strategy means Trump will likely face a crowd including ethnic minorities, LGBT people, undocumented immigrants, the disabled and others when he addresses a joint session on Feb. 28.

It’s a shift in tactics for Democrats, some of whom skipped Trump’s inauguration last month in protest.

Democrats appear committed to a strategy of doubling down on their promotion of angry, group identity politics, by which they will continue to alienate people in the American heartland, especially the white working class voters who abandoned them in significant numbers this past November.

I might well hope they continue down this road, as it will accrue to the benefit of Republicans, but it also risks inciting open social unrest (as we saw last night in Berkeley), which may very well be their ultimate goal.   
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Usually you shift your tactics when you a failing miserably.

I seriously doubt this would make President the Donald the least bit uncomfortable.  He should just put all the people who suffered under the Bamster in the audience.  That would be the actual taxpayers.

Wait...so let me get this straight...the same people that have spent the last 8 years complaining about how utterly disrespectful Joe Wilson and the left and right head movements from a Supreme Court Justice were during Big Ears State of The Union addresses now wants to show how much classier they are than the Republicans...by doing worse than what the Republicans did?

"Undocumented immigrants," eh?  I believe there should be ICE agents on all the entrances, to take these folks into custody.
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!

This should be good. The Dems will have Trump interrupted by protests, in an address to Congress, and we'll have a President lose his cool on live TV, and act like a moron. Can't wait.


 :shrug:  Upside, maybe we'll turn into the UK and the House of Commons?

Remember the Weather Underground?  I suspect that, thanks to George Soros' $$$, they have reorganized and regrouped.... under another name, of course.  But still the same violent, anti-capitalist, anti-American anarchists.   And still a group of dangerous aholes.  There will be an ongoing riot during ANY Republican administration by these people.  Count on it.

If I were Trump, I would count on all of that great spy tech and would find out where they're going to be rioting ahead of time.  I would have the National Guard on standby .... and I would arrest each and every one of them if/when they show up to cause mayhem.  I would also make it illegal to wear a mask or conceal your identity in those "peaceful protests".  If you want to protest peacefully and legally, you shouldn't be afraid to or refuse to show your face.  But that's just me....

   Just goes to show you, You just can't make that miserable bunch of LGBT happy no matter what.                   
   Pres. Trump expended considerable political capital with the Christian Community keeping obummer's EO for these deviants and they still want his head on a platter.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
