WH -Secret Service agent: "So how long are you guys going to keep protesting?" - "Until he leaves."

@aravosis

So this just happened outside the White House at Day 12 of our never-ending anti-Trump protests:

Secret Service agent: “So how long are you guys going to keep protesting?”

One of our organizers, pointing to the White House: “Until he leaves.”

I should be so creative, but I'm not. I think i will buy a baby Trump ball on and be prepared when a demonstration is held here. That could hit the front page.

Maybe it’s just how my phone is showing this, but now it’s right-side up. It came out sideways when I posted it.

The artwork is a blow-up of a Der Spiegel cover from last year. They had several great ones.

Ask the next SS agent "Do you REALLY think HIS life is more valuable than yours?" I would not lay down my life for any member of the tRump disgusting, grifting, ugly family. All they are doing is draining the treasury, and for WHAT?

What a great way to spend the evening if you are in the DC area for a few days. We can keep it going from people all over the country!!
I'm sure a local Pub has a sign making event. Have a pint, make a sign and then go protest with fellow Patriots!!

So much for not having time for golf because he’d be working his ass off. Now that is rich, isn't It? And I bet the boobs that heard him say that have never given his frequent golf weekends a second thought.

to "work" that fat ass off? He has gained weight since he took office. He has also gotten even more repulsive in both looks and personality. Vile, useless ass.

The agent might want to do a bit of research. As written, no time limit was included.
