Aside from the fact that you got a bunch of fancy pictures from helicopters that look impressive but really represent less than 1%... Some signs that say hands off..... And a few people saying that democracy is being dismantled.

Like the rest of the Democratic party there's no message. There's only anger and shouting.

Are they marching against honesty?
Are they angry that fraud is being exposed?
Exactly what is it that they are protesting?
Does anybody even know?

Now maybe some of them have taken hits to their 401k accounts in the past few days...that I can understand.
But but the stock market goes up and down all the time.
You don't lose anything unless you sell. Anyone who uses the stock market understands that it goes up and down and sometimes you're better off to wait. The increase curve/vector for the market over the past 50 years is almost 45°. Warren Buffett doesn't seem nervous at all...

So now we have the Democrats with no message except orange man bad... And a couple million protesters stuck in the same unmessaged rage. I mean honestly it's like an empty billboard.

It would be a lot more effective if they actually had something to say. Don't you think?

Another thread started on the subject... by you.
 
The usual. Billionaires giving money to communists to make some noise so that they can squeeze the government into changing, taking on enough debt to go bankrupt and lose the U.S currency as the standard so that they can short it, make tens of billions while controlling the pursestrings and your citizens.

Didn't someone do that to the British pound a few years ago?
 
Actually this is my first thread about the protests.
really?

 
really?


The best crowd money can buy.

It's called elections. Seems some don't like elections and would prefer a different system
 
really?




Hmmmm....
I'll have the moderators combine them...

Wouldn't the *administration have to be honest first?
Are they angry that fraud is being exposed?
What fraud? None has been "exposed". You guys found and cancelled a buncha programs you didn't like. Mostly ones that help people. tRumplings hate those.
Exactly what is it that they are protesting?

Of course we know. The destruction of our government, our international standing, and our country in general.

What Destruction of government? You mean agencies?
How do you not see Fraud and misappropriation?

Money being sent to terror groups? Federal employees on the clock but not even at work? That's payroll fraud.

I didn't see any signs about the department of Education in yesterday's marches. All I saw was...." Hands off"....
Has anyone lost any social security money? Has anyone been kicked off of Medicare? What are they talking about?

our government is made up of agencies. There is a reason for that. These agencies are set up to keep things running without constant attention from congress or the president because they have to handle the bigger picture.

feel free to show me some.

None of that has been found.

Why would we wait until it's too late?

Sure we have some core Agencies and a cabinet..DOE was never truly one of them frankly and has presided over the most precipitous drop in academic abilities of the average American student the foundation of the school system.

UASID was and is a quasi-rogue agency misrepresenting its mission which had become politically corrupt and anti-American. That's Fraud on a grand scale.

Federal workers not verifying their hours and being paid of paycheck anyway? Massive fraud.

Wait until it's too late? Anything can happen at any time.
These people are out there running around with their hair on fire for nothing. Nobody has been denied their benefits.
When that happens I suppose maybe they'll have a reason to scream unless of course they're collecting undeservingly.

I still see no message. Unless of course the message is they want the nation to continue to march into decline like it has been for the past five decades. Nobody wants to be uncomfortable even for a moment while we seek a correction?
The boiling frog comes to mind.

I think they must be protesting the end of taxes on tips and social security?
