THE RESISTANCE SPEAKS – AT 11:51 A.M. ET:  And what clowns they are.   Apparently inspired by the excesses of the sixties...which wound up putting Richard Nixon in the White House...the brave anti-Trump resisters are planning major disruptions.  From Daily Caller: 

Behind the mass protests, choreographed chants and acts of violence, leaders of anti-Trump “resistance” efforts are communicating the same simple but dark message: they want to make America “ungovernable” for the president of the United States.

These protesters say they will do whatever it takes to keep Trump from enacting his agenda, and many of them have shown a willingness to destroy public property, assault law enforcement officers and inflict violence upon their fellow citizens.

Inauguration Day provided a hint of what to expect from the far left during Trump’s presidency: well-organized protests that feature alarmist rhetoric and have a proclivity to devolve into anarchic violence. Rioters smashed storefront windows, assaulted innocent bystanders and torched a limo all in the name of opposing Trump.

D.C.’s inauguration weekend violence was believed to be mostly the work of a group calling themselves DisruptJ20, which began planning to disrupt the inauguration and destroy property weeks in advance.

COMMENT:  We saw the same in Berkeley last week.  Of course, they violate the law, and we'll be watching to see if the laws are actually enforced.  Many of these violent demonstrations occur in places where local authorities are sympathetic to the leftist cause, if not the leftist actions.  In Berkeley, only one arrest was made. 

Look for the possibility of the president using federal action – federalizing National Guard units or sending in troops, as happened a number of times in the fifties and sixties.   The president could count on widespread public support if violence gets out of control.
