Two former advisers to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, Philippe Reines and Adam Parkhomenko, staged an emergency protest near the White House last night after the Trump/Putin press conference. Nice to see they’re handing Clinton’s loss — and it was a loss — so maturely:
If someone flew home from Helsinki they’d get back to DC around 9pm. Probably jet lagged. You know what I’d hate if I just got back & needed to sleep? A bunch of people outside my home with bullhorns & air horns.
I’ve never started a protest. How does one do that @MoveOn? pic.twitter.com/HuuWpRIQeG

We have whistles for the 1st 50 to arrive (whistles for recreational use…) and 128 sets of ear plugs.
I’m the one on the right in the phone, on the left is Ian. Come find us.
And folks this is makeshift. Don’t expect a lot of organization. Definitely in need of chants. pic.twitter.com/PZRDF6Jicr

“Definitely in need of chants”?
How about “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Hillary should have gone to Wisconsin, no?”
Hey @realDonaldTrump I’m the guy outside your window blaring this at your window.
I’m gonna wait I a bit to let you start dozing off. Then the air horns come out. I’ve got two canisters. That’s 24 1-second bursts or 8 3-second bursts. Any preference? pic.twitter.com/ZNVfnCNCyq

Thank you to everyone who came out tonight and to everyone who couldn’t but continued to spread the word. Tuesday 7 PM at the White House it gets bigger. #OccupyLafayettePark pic.twitter.com/tzvJFf11BA

And they’re planning more for tonight. What I find most fascinating about these ongoing snit fits is the number of people who have so much f***ing free time. But I guess it beats these guys being busy working in the White House — and those pictures are as close to the inside as they’ll get.

Also, if you’re keeping score at home update your talking points accordingly…
Out: He colluded with Russia so IMPEACH!
In: Help us buy a big balloon:
Chip in to efforts to get our very own Trump Baby Blimp here in the U.S. and help piss off Donald Trump! Pass it on #OccupyLafayettePark https://t.co/WAqEIWgYkD

The average pre-school class behaves more maturely.
