Americans to Come Together in Hundreds Peaceful Gatherings of Solidarity, Resistance, and Resolve Following Election Results
Hundreds of Americans, dozens of organizations to gather peacefully outside the White House and in cities and towns nationwide to take a continued stand against misogyny, racism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia.

WHAT: Hundreds of peaceful gatherings of solidarity, resistance, and resolve nationwide
WHEN / WHERE: Find local gatherings here. Major gatherings include in New York City’s Columbus Circle and outside the White House in Washington, DC.

It seem a simpler explanation is required: Mrs. Clinton recieved a higher popular vote than Mr. Trump. People who voted for her are demonstrating & even rioting all over the country; Even Mr. Trump's residence has been surrounded by thousands of demonstrators, and in each public statement made by Mr. Trump he calls for unity an reconciliation. An orderly transfer of power is a hallmark of our Democracy. It is a major distinction of the United States from banana republics I think most knowledgeable people would agree that Mr Trump, or at least the United States, needs the goodwill and cooperation of Mrs. Clinton in carrying out these traditions which exist for so many imperitive reasons.

I am sorry I just do not see that we or Trump needs anything from Mrs. Clinton for any reason.
And tell those folks in prison for exposing classified info that Hillary should not be investigated for the same offense.

I and my brethren had to accept Obama as the leader of our nation. While we didn't like it, we accepted it. We suffered through it and survived it. Whether the nation is better off is a matter of perspective. But, these protests will pass and we will move forward knowing that SCOTUS has been saved and our nation is once again making it's way where no man has gone before.  Beats the hell out of where the where the witch was going to take us. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=ding+dong+the+witch+is+dead&view=detail&mid=588D70540AFA79E412AC588D70540AFA79E412AC&FORM=VIRE

To compare the conduct of the butthurt sore losers to the Tea Party is laughable. When Trump won, I decided I wasn't going to gloat about it, but gloat I will until the losers acknowledge his victory and end their juvenile behavior.

I'm sure that you'll correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall the Tea Party Protestors Looting or Blocking Interstate Highways. And the Tea Party cleaned up after themselves following all of their rallies. They didn't leave broken windows, damaged storefronts, and they sure as heck didn't chant for harm to come to police.

No, but they did call for harm to come to the president. These are some of the things said at a Tea Party Rally in front of the Whitehouse. “Hang the lying Kenyan traitor!” “Plenty of trees in the front yard. Wouldn’t be the first one hung on one of them trees.” “We’ve got rope.” “Don’t snap his neck, you pull him up watch him choke to death.”

I do not doubt that someone liberal and conservative has said them and worse about every president ever installed. EVERYONE give it rest, it is over. And nothing you say today will change that. Socialism lost and non socialism won. I do not expect everyone to accept any president as their president and I know the socialist will not. That is OK, many did not accept Obama or Clinton or Kennedy or Johnson as they were morally challenged liars and cheats. And many find those folks unacceptable company anywhere anytime. So be it, move on, there is another election in 4 years. Find a better candidate and support them.

These horrible things weren't chanted by the crowd, if they were said at all. And they didn't attack NYC police officers on a bridge (I think you walked that bridge) where help couldn't get to them. They ambushed cops on a bridge. Nothing you can "site" can be worse than that, except for the anti-cop atmosphere perpetuated by BLM that was directly related to cop killings across the country. Even the KKK didn't encourage violence against police and the TEA Party sure as hell didn't.

Wouldn’t be the first one hung on one of them trees.” “We’ve got rope.” “Don’t snap his neck, you pull him up watch him choke to death.” A quick google search shows that you copied and pasted that from the internet. Verbatim. I could not find a single news article saying this happened. Not saying it didn't happen, but with the amount of cell phone cameras out there, someone would have likely caught it on video. I call BS, I don't think it happened. Just like the picture that someone posted of the current president being lynched. That picture's origin was a facebook page with about 30 followers. More than likely it was made by someone on the left to incite people. There are thousands of fake facebook pages just like it, made to spread hate to the benefit of both sides. It spread like wildfire, as things on the internet do, but it's likely it was never made by anyone on the right. Now, some members of the BLM chanting about wanting dead cops. That was caught on camera from numerous sources... And we cannot forget that a member of the BLM movement did kill 5 cops in Dallas. All of the Hillary supporters need to keep this in mind: Trump won, in a fair election by the rules laid out by the Constitution. The GOP controls both the Senate and the House. Likely the Supreme Court will be leaning conservative in under a year. Hillary lost. You don't have to like it, but you have to deal with it. Try again in 4 years.

Even the KKK didn't encourage violence against police and the TEA Party sure as hell didn't. Gary, the first word I said was NO. I agree. But they have, or more accurately some of them have in the past promoted violence against certain people and groups. There was some uglieness involved. Just as there is some uglieness involved with these groups protesting.

You understand that "ONE PERSON". Since Nov 8th MANY anti Trumpers have said worse about Trump. Did you also notice that in the video NOT ONE person was destroying private or public property? Since Nov 8th many anti Trumpers have destroyed private and public property. You certainly have a very warped way of apportioning blame. Are you also aware that the quote you used was from a protest organized by a group named "Operation American Freedom" NOT the Tea Party. Let me repeat that for you so you can understand your duplicitous post reveals you are trying to stir crap up again.

I am against any violent protests.
I don't think most of those protesting are just "sore losers".
I think what they are mostly upset about, is that Trump voters cared more about sending a message to the political establishment than they did about the rights and welfare of human beings.
The democratic party is most to blame for running a flawed candidate.

Let's talk welfare. It's not that Trump voters do not care about the welfare of human beings. To the contrary. We are also concerned that the welfare the free crap army receives is hurting the economic welfare of our country. Wouldn't a thriving economy with more jobs be better welfare for the people than government welfare?

anyone else out there who truly does not see the problem with the rioting
Free speech is dandy, rioting is just an excuse for anarchy and theft
There are always those predisposed to anarchy, looting, beating people up and these folks scum are never going to clean up after themselves, or avoid causing harm, or avoid baiting law enforcement
There is an element of depravity in any society just below the surface, whether hate crimes or whatever
The Democratic party (your party) will do nothing to stave off the rioting N O T H I N G
Show me Hillary, or that piece of crap DeBlasio, or Cuomo or any other Democratic leader in a big city stepping into the breach and I will say bully for him or her
Violent protest and looting is criminal and must be put down, without force if possible, but with such as is needed to protect the public not looting or blocking roads
What I would like to see is the 3 Obama Trump Clinton on a joint press conference to state we need to accept the orderly change of power and to peaceably help heal the country, not further divide it

As I see it it's a completely different set of circumstances for the democratic changing of our leaders than a common crime. I'm not saying its perfect, but when we start imprisoning the losers of the election we are no longer a functioning democracy. If corruption was not everywhere in the matter she would have been in prison before the election and you might have someone in the WH that you liked. I'll bet the dems would have tossed her aside long ago if they could only see into the crystal ball.

I think what they are mostly upset about, is that Trump voters cared more about sending a message to the political establishment than they did about the rights and welfare of human beings. Quote by Therapist
The Rights and Welfare of guntotin' Bible carrying Christians (in Obama's words) , LEO's, and others were and are involved. The working class has been taken for a ride while the 'free sh**' people and the entrenched politicians.are enjoying it. Too much interfering government with no input from citizens.
So you are partially right. By the way, a noted psychiatrist has disagreed with your diagnosis of Trump.

The rights and welfare of human beings? For what it's worth statistically conservatives give significantly more than do liberals to charitable organizations. The country would be a better place if liberals chose to put the money where their mouths are instead of pretending they are concerned by voting to give away other people's money. If you're buying that the Democrat party is more concerned about the welfare of human beings you have either been sold or are selling a bill of goods.

I see Willow's point. However, alleged illegal acts no matter when, who, how, where, should be subjected to investigations and charges brought, judged, and final determination. we are not a banana republic and it's not revenge, it's the rule of law and it should be applied equally.
Every administration could be CHARGED with an illegal act. Reagan's Iran/contra affair, Cheney's secret meetings with the Energy companies, etc. It's not a way I want our changing of leadership to happen. Short memory, missed it or did you buy into the DNC talking points? Iran contra WAS prosecuted, people WERE charged, and people went to jail. Ollie North was charged and convicted, but it was later overturned in the court system on appeal. One guy did go to jail, a lot of people paid for the wrongdoing. There just wasnt as much illegal in running black ops as the libs want there to be when they arent the ones running them.

One of the things we voted for with Trump ...... is the rule of law. Law and order. Right and wrong.
We are a nation of laws, not of people and how they FEEL.
I see little difference between these assholes and the occupiers. Rebels without a (legitimate) cause or clue. All about self, nothing about their fellow man, nothing for their country, nothing for their city, disrespect for the policeman, nothing for the rule of law.
I say let them eat cake, and tear gas and batons. Start arresting them and put them on road gangs in orange suits (first, to clean up their own messes). Like with all unruly children (and that is all they are) you correct behavior with the carrot and the stick. The carrot is unmolested peaceful protest, but if you degenerate into riot, violence and property destruction, then you go to the stick.
Mommy and daddy and school and church (if any) taught them nothing... so let the criminal justice system teach them something.
Law abiding citizen's lives matter. Hoodlum's lives matter somewhat less.
This is for any violence or property destruction beyond peaceful protest.
Also.... follow the money. If funds or materials are being paid or provided to drive these lawbreakers, arrest and charge the funders/enablers with conspiracy to riot, insurrect, destroy property, and fine them the costs of the entire cleanup, and jail. Extradite Soros.
If the Democrat city fathers and mayors hold their police back for fear of offending their voter base and allow their cities to be damaged and burned, the State capitols should withhold any state (general tax) funding to cover cleanup, equipment loss and all damages resulting from giving them a free hand. If you allow your cities to get wasted, live with the waste on your own dime.
Any FSA member caught rioting should be immediately removed from all all Govt assistance.

I am against any violent protests.
I don't think most of those protesting are just "sore losers".
I think what they are mostly upset about, is that Trump voters cared more about sending a message to the political establishment than they did about the rights and welfare of human beings.
The democratic party is most to blame for running a flawed candidate.
I assume you are not a Trump voter so I can assure you that you have no idea what a Trump voter cared about more. You, being the enlightened liberal who knows what everybody needs and has no problem stuffing it down peoples throats, are correct about your candidate. I am a Trump voting Democrat that hasn't voted for a democrat since Clintons first term. What's most offensive about your statement is that Trump supporters care more about a message than the rights and welfare of human beings. The democratic party and specifically Hilliary, have no problem killing a baby just because it's still in the womb, and you have the audacity to point at us for having our priorities out of order. What I cared about most was the future for my grandsons which in my view was preserving the Constitution and the appointments to the Supreme court. That is why I voted for Trump, it was the only reason I needed.
