The State of the Swamp was so much fun. I love the Portland Frog Army!

We're putting together photos from that night. Here's one.

I was watching from Hawaii. I’m so jealous of the people and frogs who got to be there in person!

Boy did I need this today! I was depressed about the Epstein victims, the refusal of ICE and CBP to obey the most obvious rules for a police force in a democracy … and then there was THIS marvelous tale.

Thank you! (And thanks to the participants.)

I’m so glad this helped, Mary. Those of us there really needed it too. It reminded me, so I’ll remind you: you are so very much not alone

I went to Woodstock. What has been so hard to explain was the joy we felt surrounded by folks just like us. The music was, of course, outstanding. But in a time when you could be suspended if you were a guy with hair below your collar, all these people with long hair was tremendous. We passed around doobies. And peace was important to us all.

I think people could understand that today.

I loved watching The State of the Swamp. It was exactly as you described, defiant and joyous. The frogs were the perfect touch. We need this energy to carry us through the elections. Viva la Resistance!!

Sounds and looks like a great event! I would have loved that. You are right about joyful protest and it always seems to be abundant at the rallies. And his ego is so overly inflated that it is very easily popped by mockery. I appreciate everyone who was there, famous and not famous, to stand in opposition to the complete failure and embarrassment of a SOTU.

Kermit would be in the vanguard of a resurgent army of frogs…for sure!

Outstanding reporting -- and I dig the humor and style!

For the records: it is certain toads one lick for hallucinatory secretions. Not frogs. But otherwise, touché!

I did not get to watch but it sure sounded like one monster blast. And you know what Cliff, you bet we will keep fighting.

I've reread the 54 miles and it is bringing back to an amazing, difficult, significant time in our history to being the backtrack to under the racist worse than gov Wallace. I'm glad people are expressing what's really going on how it affects us all.

Some severe TDS going on. There was no anger just pure truth that exposes how much the left hate Americans and will continue to support illegals, rapists and terrorists that have come in the country.

Tonnie Copper's avatar

What Americans do dems hate? Hate is your feelings, we want America to be for everyone. You just want your creepy pedos and Nazi buddies to thrive. That old line you use is getting worn out and very muddy. Try to think about what is really happening in these days. Your dear leader is getting worn and drying up. People want more than just to serve your idol and we will get there. We are Americans after all!

Wish I could have been there with you.

Apparently all poor people are living in perpetual Ramadhan. I don't think I've ever eaten more than two meals a day since I was 5 years old and my parents split up. 1 or 2 meals a day is normal.
