| "The People's State Of The Union".... |
| 2018-01-28 |
| [FoxNews] A cabal of Hollywood elites, progressive groups and social activists are planning a "People’s State of the Union" as a "public alternative" on the eve of President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address. A 'public alternative' to a speech that won't be given until 24 hours later and whose content you are completely unaware of. Got it. Notable participants in Monday's scheduled event in New York City include filmmaker Michael Moore, whose last film. Michael Moore in Trumpland, made a whopping $149,090 which was probably just enough to cover his Hostess Twinkie tab actors Mark Ruffalo, best known for playing some green fella Alyssa Milano, who is no longer the boss, but does a mean weight control system infomercial Rosie Perez who may not be workin' but looks pretty darn good and Whoopi Goldberg who spends her afternoons on national television going on about something or another with no clear or direct connection to reality. They'll congregate at the Town Hall in Manhattan, the venue where suffragists met in the 1920s. Singer Andra Day and rapper Common will be performing the song, "Stand Up for Something," from the biopic film "Marshall," about the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Tickets were still available Saturday at $47 each. I'm guessing either demand isn't quite what they thought it was, or the 'people' they had in mind had a lot better things to do than blow a few hours' pay listening to these clowns tell them how bad they had it. The event, coordinated by unions, organizers of the Women’s March and Planned Parenthood, is being marketed as a celebration of the "resistance," closer to "the people’s point of view," USA Today reported. I wish it were possible to zap everyone who uses the word 'resistance' back in time to The Second Great Unpleasantness, so they could see what it was like to really try and resist two of the most brutal dictatorships in history. I suspect they'd last about five minutes before either curling up in a ball sobbing or ratting out everyone they knew in a desperate attempt to be killed last. Mike |

| #4 Sounds.... communist. And I didn't approve it. Therefore it is an elite class pretending to represent the will of the unwashed masses. |

| #2 The people's point of view? Excuse me but the people elected Donald Trump, not Whoopi Goldberg. |

| #1 Gad, these dim lightbulbs have no clue how the middle class live or how their progressive ideas are destroying the lives and dreams of thousands of hard working Americans. I'd like to see a use tax on private jets in California and see how that plays with these bloviated idiots |
