President Donald Trump’s campaign announced a “Pittsburgh, not Paris” rally across from the White House on Saturday to celebrate the United States’ withdrawal from a global climate agreement.

The Fairfax County Republican Committee and the Republican Party of Virginia are sponsoring the rally in Lafayette Square, which is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, according to an announcement from the Trump campaign.

“As you know, the President has been under siege from the mainstream media and the Democrats, especially now that he put American jobs first by withdrawing from the Paris Accord. Therefore, we are organizing a group to demonstrate our support for President Trump and his fearless leadership,” the invitation reads.

Tonight I will go to sleep and dream that 100,000 citizens who care about their grandchildren having a livable planet show up in Lafayette Square at the exact same time.

A woman can dream, can't she?

wistfully,

1. Oh. It's on!

The People Pick Paris: Action at Trump Rally

Tomorrow in front of the White House, Trump is hosting a celebration of his decision to fry the planet and leave the Paris Climate Agreement. Let’s show up in massive numbers to show the President that the people choose Paris, and we won't stand for his dangerous and shameful decision.

Join us for a counter-protest at 9:30 AM TOMORROW to send the message that a huge majority of Americans want the US in the Paris Agreement, and are fighting for more action, not less.

13. Watched a snippet of Andrea Mitchell

talking with Michael Steele about drumpf's withdrawal from the Paris Climate agreement. She was critical of the resident of the W.H.(believe it or not), while Steele was trying to say it had nothing to do with drumpf, but it was strictly about politics.
My bullshit meter pegged then.
It's ALL about drumpf!!
Any and every thing that Obama signed or promoted or agreed to, drumpf, in his ego-ridden mania, will negate by any means necessary.
This was just the latest of his "I'm president and I can do anythng I want" attitude. Heavy on the "I".

I've always been amazed that a pile of canine fecal matter can walk and talk and even grow orange-colored something on its "head."

FOr our frustrations I'd go if I could

3. You may be right

We need to do these every couple months

5. The people of Pittsburgh don't like his dropping their name. This stupid crap won't gain him

the love of it's people.

6. I notice that he's not going to Pittsburgh

With their LEED-certified Convention Center, and a bridge named after Rachel Carson. I double-dog dare him to go!

8. Are these particular republicans that fucking stupid, or.. are they just lying?

There is no longer a way to tell..

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Actually what's going on here

is Trump will steal the protest crowd and say it's his own crowd

At least that's what I foresee

[Blindingly apparent]

11. Truer words were never text

I think it would serve the resistance movement better for everyone to be out of town. maybe Pittsburgh would be the best place to hold a rally that night

10. Withdrawing from the Paris Accord is the job killer.

Pursuing the goals the Obama administration set for the U.S. under the Paris Accord would have modernized our energy industry and created hundreds of thousands of green energy jobs....not to mention help save the planet.

12. Why does the President have a campaign?

[riversedge]

16. I think Trump registered not soon after Nov election so he can get donations-right

from the start.

14. But watch how they will

use shots of any crowds coming as counter-protesters, to bulk up their fake "rally" so they can say "See!!!1!!! Look how many came out to support us!!11!!!!1".

15. Good con artist strategy

That's one thing the Trump people are good at - the con.
