Anti-Trump Activists Plan Road-Blocking 'Clusterf--k' for Inauguration

The last time a Republican was elected president after losing the popular vote, George W. Bush’s inaugural parade turned into a tunnel of boos and rude signs, as eggs – and some protesters – flew over security fences toward the motorcade.

Organizers anticipate even more visible dissent when Donald Trump rolls down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the White House on Jan. 20.

One major faction plans an orderly but large demonstration along the parade route. But a more radical effort operating under the tagline “no peaceful transition” seeks to block major roads into the nation’s capital and prevent foot traffic from reaching security checkpoints along the route.

I applaud any and all efforts to ruin Donald J Trump's Inauguration day. However, also think we need to come up with a 50 state strategy to draw media attention away from the event...do that end I and a few others are trying to get some traction on a 50 State Inauguration "Day of Mourning Protest" where we take to the streets across the nation dressed in black to protest this vile and detestable man.
