Democrats kick off anti-Trump 'Resistance Summer'
The Washington Examiner ^ | June 1, 2017 | Susan Ferrechio

Democrats are hoping to capitalize on the anti-Trump excitement in their base by staging a coordinated "Summer of Resistance" across the country that's aimed at countering the agenda of President Trump and the GOP-led Congress.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi kicked off the effort Wednesday at a rally in Dallas, where she told attendees Democrats would work to stop the GOP agenda and Trump.

Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Texas, told the crowd, "You have to take a stand now," and "Now is the time to help make a difference. There are so many things you can do."

Democratic activists have been working almost since Trump's election to coordinate opposition to the Republican agenda, which is focused primarily on overhauling the tax code and repealing and replacing Obamacare....

If a Republican gave such a speech in DALLAS, near JFK’s birthday, he would be attacked as advocating assassination—on the basis that he spoke in DALLAS.

Remember when the Democrats accused Reagan of ENDORSING NAZISM because he gave a speech in Bitburg, where some German soldiers were buried? Remember when Carter attacked Reagan because Reagan gave a speech in a town that had some connection with the Democrat organization, the Klan?

They've created a wild beast and they have to feed it constantly.
THERE was a young lady of Niger,
Who smiled as she rode on a Tiger;

They came back from the ride
With the lady inside,

And the smile on the face of the Tiger.

Maybe it’s time for an Anti-Democrat Counterrevolution Summer to answer them.

Nothing original about these democrats. They might as well be a plague of ‘frogs’ playing this resistance meme. Here we have our liberals on the side of Merkel the socialist, pretending they are resisting a ‘hitler’, and yet it is Russia's fault that a hitler replica beat them in an election.. Talk about a bunch of psychos.

countering the agenda of President Trump and the GOP-led Congress

As if Trump and Congress somehow forced their way into authority without anybody voting for them.

I hope this goes as well as their “Recovery Summer”, which turned out to be “Recovery Bummer”.

Maybe. Once President Trump's policies start to bear fruit, these losers are going to feel awfully isolated.

So what is it they're going to resist?

Bringing manufacturing back to the US?

Rebuilding our infrastructure?

Rebuilding our military?

Taking action against human trafficking?

Would that be like the “Recovery Summer” where Dopey Joe was going to do a magic act and “produce” 250,000 jobs a month? This is just as laughable. Oh they will get lots of out of work recent grads with degrees in Peruvian prayer Mat Making Black and Womyn’s studies to join them (they will have lots of free time), but it will come to ought.
