....when antiwar protestors were at war with the police? How about massive crowds around the White House, both pro-Trump Magas and bikers, and peaceful anti-Trump protestors being dispersed by para-military government agents, as tear gas swirls around Washington, DC? Think that's a good visual for the Republicans? Add a few Moms dressed in yellow and D.C. police on horseback and it will be quite a spectacle.

Really, it's the only way he can get anyone to pay attention to him. So pathetic and corrupt.

But I was only six years old when it happened.
