Portland Mayor Charlie Hales expressed his frustrations with the four nights of protests, which has seen plenty of vandalism and violence on the streets. “Going to the streets for another night is not going to keep Donald Trump from taking office. It isn’t going to change anything,” he said. Hales also those who are opposed to President-elect Trump shouldn’t be destroying the city or targeting law enforcement.” “Portland was just one city that saw another night of protests. Tens of thousands of people marched in streets across the U.S. – including in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, and the smaller cities such as Worcester, Mass and Iowa City, Iowa.() “Protesters rallied at New York's Union Square before taking their cause up Fifth Avenue toward Trump Tower, where they were held back by police barricades. “The Republican president-elect was holed up inside his tower apartment, working with aides on the transition to the White House.”(Notice how FoxNews had “Republican president-elect” Trump holed up rather than living inside his tower apartment?) “Demonstrators in Indianapolis on Saturday threw rocks at police, slightly injuring two officers, said Police Chief Troy Riggs. Some protesters began chanting threats including "Kill the Police," and officers moved in to arrest seven demonstrators. (AP, Nov. 13, 2016) (“Kill the police” is what is already happening in a number of American inner cities, courtesy of the anti-police call of Black Lives Matter.) “Police briefly fired pepper balls into the crowd during the confrontation. (AP) “In Los Angeles, an estimated 8,000 people marched through downtown streets Saturday to condemn what they saw as Trump's hate speech about Muslims, pledge to deport people in the country illegally and crude comments about women.” (Bloomberg, , Nov. 12, 2016) The media wants you to believe that “in other parts of the country, spirited demonstrations on college campuses and peaceful marches along downtown streets have taken place since Wednesday.” “Demonstrations also took place internationally. (Bloomberg)
“A group of Mexicans at statue representing independence in Mexico City expressed their concerns about a possible wave of deportations. One school teacher said it would add to the "unrest" that's already in Mexico. “About 300 people protested Trump's election as the next American president outside the U.S. Embassy near the landmark Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. “President Barack Obama meets in Berlin next week with Chancellor Angela Merkel and several other European leaders, and is expected to confront global concerns about Trump's election."So much for Obama’s phony call to “boost” Trump’s presidency at Thursday’s transition meeting at the White House. To get the full picture, ignore the ones showing Obama’s smile and look at the photograph at the staff including Valerie Jarrett taken the same day. Meanwhile Campaign 2016 didn’t end with Trump’s landslide election on Tuesday, it’s just beginning in order for progressives to find the most effective way to keep him from being inaugurated on January 20, 2017.
