The gravity of the situation we are in, Chump deflecting his involvement in child sex trafficking by bombing fishing boats, kidnapping Venezuela's president, threatening war with Iran, and the continuing lies about immigrants in America and the fact that his fucking ICE murdered two American citizens in cold blood in Minneapolis, and pretty much all of Wall Street And Main Street agree he has fucked our economy...

And a DU member worries it will be raining or snowing outside?

It will be cold, in the low- to mid-thirties, enough so that turnout won't be what it might have been. Would it have killed the organizers to have found someplace indoors where they could hold this?

And good evening.
