- IT HAS BEGUN: Wonkette Operative “Danielle R.” says there’s a riot going on, outside the Homeland Security Reichstag: “Few hundred people are outside the DHS/ICE building on 12th and D SW with a huge American flag, protesting immigration policy … ‘Reform Not Raids’ is their mantra, I think. The guy on the bullhorn sounds like Jimmy Smits, but maybe that’s just because i watched too much West Wing yesterday. Cops are starting to swarm, traffic is backing up a bit. Ooh sirens, yay.”
Aren’t they at least a day late in their protests?
Is this it? This is when Obama finally starts taking the white people’s guns and giving them to rioters and looters?! I’m ready. Praise Oprah, I’m ready.
Hopey should take a lesson from Mikhail Gorbachev — once you pull the glasnost switch, things take on a momentum of their own.
The honeymoon is over before it got started.
Oh please. They’ve been rioting and protesting the BART shooting and Israel’s occupation of Gaza (read: Gisele) for weeks now here. You people don’t know the first thing about protest. I think I will protest that.
“DOWN WITH PROTESTERS.
SCREW THE FIRST AMENDMENT.”
See, the PUMAs tried to warn you fools about what would happen if you put one of ‘those’ people (Mexicans) in the White House, but you didn’t listen, did you?
Could just as easily be “Cuneiform nut aids”. Just saying.
Now that’s deranged we can believe in.
Blackwater, under contract with the DHS to raid offices suspected of employing undocumented workers, hired a bunch of undocumented workers to raid the DHS. When protesters arrived to protest the raid, Blackwater guards served them tea and cookies and encouraged them to protest as long and hard as possible because it’s all billable.
Immigration reform? Shouldn’t they be in Arizona, picketing in front of one of Walnuts’s 7 houses?
Aren’t they doing this for the wrong Prez? I feel for you my fellow immigrants, some days I feel like I’m surrounded by rednecks Today I’m trying to get a plumber and every one I call laughs at my name,”what kind of name is that?”. I’m an immigrant you dipshit, “how come yall don’t have no accent”.Just give me the damn estimate so I can reject you. I’m 2/3 today.
To top it off at my cousin’s wedding this weekend, the groom’s family asked if we were pagan and kept calling me Juanita. Who the fuck is Juanita? I’m not even Hispanic nor do I look one bit Hispanic. Fucking Assholes, maybe I should just move to Canada with my mom and her husband. Protest on people.
Well, I just hope they don’t let the flag touch the ground, because the Freepers will have an aneurism. On second thought…
Wake me up when that flag is a smoldering ash pile.
I miss the days when white cops could simply set dissenters on fire.
Life was so much simpler in the 80’s.
Goddamn, talk about DAY ONE…
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. Go ahead, feel me.
I am sad. I went to NOAA in Silver Spring- no portraits of Obama and Bidenup yet but Bush and Cheney were gone and it looked like the hooks on one side were ripped from the wall. I didn’t have the nerve to ask security if they burned the pictures or just stomped on them.
Stuff happens, as Rummy said.
“Humanity’s children are returning home.”
The government had better capitulate before they bring in the big guns (Edward James Olmos, Maria Conchita Alonso, and Ruben Blades).
Latinos have to overcome extra hurdles when it comes to instigating civil disobedience over a long period of hours. The spicy food and genetic predisposition for long drunken afternoon naps are definite obstacles to maintaining organizational discipline.
@norbizness
Are you aware that Edward James Olmos was partially invited to a party that I was thinking of giving? He didn’t actually turn me down, because HE COULDN’T.
