Progressive groups vow to ‘obstruct, delay, and halt’ Donald Trump’s agenda

ACLU also fires warning shot, says ‘ready to fight’ his policies in court

 By Ben Wolfgang and S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - Wednesday, November 9, 2016

Despite bipartisan calls for healing and unity after a brutal presidential campaign, liberal activist groups vowed Wednesday to fight from the get-go to stop President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda.

Democracy for America, a leading liberal political action committee and dependable advocate for the Democratic Party, called for a “progressive political revolution” to stymie what it described as Mr. Trump’s racist and sexist agenda.

“So let’s be absolutely clear: Democracy for America will do everything in our power to obstruct, delay and halt the attacks on people of color, women and working families that will emerge from a Trump administration,” said Charles Chamberlain, the group’s executive director.

Sounds like they need investigations by IRS and FBI and any other alphabet agency we can throw at them.   


They've already indicated by acquiescence that they are okay with this sort of usage of government power,   so surely they wouldn't mind dealing with a taste of it themselves?   


Use the government against liberals.   Teach them why an all powerful government is a bad idea.

Oh how I wish we could somehow guarantee that would be stoppable once begun. I would absolutely love watching the screaming as they were forced to live under their own actions. For 8 years. I'd bet they would never want to try it again.

Give them a few bones ... keep them placated for awhile ... sing a couple of verses of Kumbaya.  (Isn't that what the Democrats do??)

‘obstruct, delay, and halt’

Hmmmm if memory serves that is exactly what McConnell said the day after Obama's election. That didn't work out very well either..
