Gee, I’m having a tough time deciding which exciting anti-Trump demonstration to attend this weekend. Fortunately the Huffington Post published a helpful list:
And there’s this, the HuffPo informs us:
Settle for watching a protest on Facebook? I want the real thing. And here it is:
Sure enough, Moore not only tweeted a photo of the DisruptJ20 logo but made it clear “Disrupt the inauguration. … Silence is not an option.” Any friend of Michael Moore is a friend of mine. And the DisruptJ20 website promises nothing but excitement this weekend:
The DisruptJ20 website also includes a page of legal advice about what to do if the “direct action” gets out of hand and the police start making arrests.
Furthermore, you won’t even have to wait until Inauguration Day itself to start making that noise and good trouble. A major DisruptJ20 target is the “DeploraBall,” a party to be thrown by Trump’s media supporters from Breitbart News and elsewhere this very night at the National Press Club in downtown Washington:
Sadly, though, it appears that some of DisruptJ20’s most fun-filled alleged plans for the DeploraBall won’t be taking place after all.
On Jan. 15 Project Veritas, the group that made the undercover videos suggesting Democratic party operatives had hired protesters to incite violence at Trump rallies last summer, released another undercover video in which activists from the D.C. Coalition Against Fascism, a DisruptJ20 partner, discussed planting butyric-acid stink bombs in the National Press Club’s HVAC system—with the intent of driving DeploraBall attendees out into the January night. One activist was quoted on the tape saying:
In a second tape released by Project Veritas on Jan. 17 members of the coalition discussed paralyzing the D.C. Metro subway system on Jan. 20 by chaining rail cars to the edges of platforms.
After the second video surfaced on YouTube, triggering the possibility of criminal charges under anti-terrorism laws, the coalition claimed—ha ha!—that all that anarchist smack talk had been merely a little false-flag joke they’d played on Project Veritas, whose founder and president, James O’Keefe, they accused of being a Trump agent. They promised that their sole DeploraBall activities tonight would consist of peaceful if raucous demonstrations outside the doors of the Press Club.
Drat! Why bother protesting something Trump-related if you can’t lob at least a stink bomb or two?
