K “Rarely have as many citizens peaceably assembled – most sporting pink knit caps with ears – and confronted an equally peaceful assemblage of police.”
J “By my best wild ass guess, at the Coronation on Friday, there was about one (1) security person from the Metropolitan Police Department / U.S. Marshal’s Service / Capitol Hill Police / Transportation Security Administration / National Guard / Coast Guard / National Park Service Police / Secret Service / Uniformed Secret Service / Supreme Court Police / Federal Bureau of Investigation and National Security Administration per twenty-five (25) attendees. At the community gathering on Saturday, there was about one (1) traffic division cop per two hundred fifty (250) attendees. The vibe changed radically in twenty-four hours.”
K “The authorities only expected 100,000 to 200,000 participants to wander by and then over 500,000 citizens decided something had to be done. Because of budgetary concerns and sequestration, someone said they may be required to cancel the public sector Coronation in 2020 and allow the private sector to organize and orchestrate a ‘People’s March 2020’ in its stead.”
J “The people can do it. I watched a Black female police officer and a White female police officer surrounded by and talking to participants who took group pictures under a hand-lettered sign that ventured the notion: ‘The future is female’.”
K “I don’t believe there were any arrests at the March.”
. . .
K “The Metro ridership statistics are revealing. O’Bama 2009 took gold, O’Bama 2013 took silver, Women’s March 2017 took bronze, Bushy 2005 took honorable mention and Trumpi 2017 also ran.”[1]
J “What were Andrew Jackson’s numbers?”
. . .
K “The crass and coarse missive delivered at the Trumpi Show on Friday continued the campaign. The commentators almost uniformly dismissed the speech as ‘dark’ and ‘dystopian’, yet for most of the Trump supporters life is indeed accurately depicted as dark and dystopic. Trumpi revealed a kernel of truth about the desperate lives of mostly rural folk, but it was not the pretty city talk the journalists and pundits wanted to hear.”
J “For most journalists, the system is working for them, so they report that the system works.”
K “The system is not working. Ordinary folks are not working.”
J “Trumpi is threatening and challenging many individuals and institutions that do not know kindness and do not take kindly to a threat or a challenge.”
K “For both terms, I was concerned that O’Bama would be dispatched like Kennedy.”
J “When it comes down to policy, however, Trumpi’s band of bankers and billionaires will do little if anything to improve the plight of the little people. He’s safe from enhanced retribution.”
K “Some of the riders rolling with the ‘Bikers for Trump’ articulated some of the real economic problems plaguing America. Yet they don’t realize they are being played for chumps by Trumps.”
J “Trumpi is ditching the ‘Bikers for Trump’ and riding off into the sunset with ‘Bankers for Trump’ and ‘Trillionaires for Trump.’ Both the latter two gangs sport the same colors – Green – and the same logo – $.”
. . .
K “A Trumpi supporter said he did not understand what they wanted. Dignity, parity, equality, etc. I suggested that he read and reflect on the signs as a start. The patriot-participants collectively championed the single greatest challenge of our time – saving the Planet – and the single greatest plan – planning parenthood and allowing women to control their biological and economic destiny.”
J “They are right, there is no PLANet B, there is no other planet to plunder. The March was akin to and will be regarded as a ‘Woodstock’ event.”
K “The patriot-participants undertook a peaceful and powerful pilgrimage for the people.”
J “Now the hard work. They must stay focused, organize locally and work hard.”
