Democrats are planning an all out effort of mayhem and disruption to undermine the results of the 2016 elections. They've put together a training handbook for protestors with detailed instructions to harass and intimidate. They are targeting Republican members of Congress for defeat in 2018.
The WSRP is shining a light on the Democrats' hypocrisy and we've posted their manual on our website. We want you to know what the American people are up against. To view the protesters' training handbook, click here.
The handbook is deceptively entitled "Indivisible," but the Democrats' plan is just the opposite – their modus operandi is dividing the American people. The handbook bears the names of former Democrat congressional staffers, but is clearly the work of hard core agitators who have taken Alinksy's "Rules for Radicals" to new levels of disruption against the democratic process.
This effort is a disrespectful slap in the face of the American people. Donald Trump is the duly-elected president. And the GOP members of our state's congressional delegation – Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Dave Reichert, Jaime Herrera Beutler, and Dan Newhouse – were all re-elected by huge margins, defeating Democrat candidates who supported Obamacare and the rest of the progressive agenda.

A Word From the Chairman
Susan Sez:
As a mother, I thought the triumph of Donald J. Trump would be a precious moment for America, a time when we sent our children away to sing patriotic anthems and beat off the ethnic hordes menacing our borders.
But so many protests have happened since the inauguration, so many attempts from within to threaten all that Mr. Trump believes in.
Today the cult of extreme liberalism is spreading across our nation, and no one is safe from it—not you, not me, and certainly not our children, because this so-called “Resistance” is directly targeting the vulnerable with hardcore sex and marijuana and the allure of socialist revolution.
These degenerates gather on our nation’s darkened edges, cavorting in reckless animal abandon. The young and passionate are drawn to that flame of human desire. Shoulder to shoulder these ruffians stand. They chant wildly and sing raunchy songs. Some wave explicit sings. A heady musk emerges from the protest crowd, the lust for power and change.
Later, they channel that fury into a writhing sexual congress, men on men, women on women, threesomes, groups, furries, leather and Latins. Wine flows eternal. Moral decency is lost in a cloud of reefer smoke. And the sweat will drip down the hairy chest of an illegal named Manuel as he tongues deeper and deeper into our country’s hidden crevices and then mounts us, owns us, completely, utterly, undeniably violates us!
Each of us has to put forth a blind obedience to Trump Nation, whether in social settings or in the workplace, and to denounce those who flirt with that socialist dystopia. There’s no moral middle ground. Indifference is not an option. We want you to help us create a nuclear atmosphere for any hint of dissent. For the sake of our children, I implore each of you to be brutal in your opposition to the Resistance.
So, to my young friends out there: America can be great, but not when it’s overrun by unions and illegals and civil rights. Open your eyes to the national community President Trump is offering. See the fires and wars only he promises to bring! He will make America thrilling for white men again! Even the dull ones! So say yes to the coming purges! And when it comes to the Resistance, just say no!

@2 I don’t see what we can offer to the people who voted for Trump. We don’t want their votes if we have to get them on their terms. If they come back to us, and vote for what we represent, that’s fine. If they don’t, and it turns out there are more of them than us, and it’s goodbye America, well shit happens and sometimes you can’t do anything about it. It’s their funeral as much as ours, in fact probably more so, because as the educated elite we’re better positioned than they are. Take me, for example. I don’t need Obamacare, a higher minimum wage, or a job. As a greedy capitalist, I’ll do just fine living on their low-wage labor. It isn’t fair to them, but I didn’t tell them to eat this shit sandwich. It is what it is, and I merely take the path of least resistance, like water flowing downhill. For example, I made $1800 in the stock market today without lifting a paw, while the toothless sister-fucking hillbillies made $58 apiece in their $7.25-an-hour jobs. They’re welcome to vote for Trump, against unions, etc. All I ask is that I get to be me than them.

as I see it the hillbillies have had more than 50 years to grow the fuck up about it. If they are still feeling “uncertain” about participating in a tolerant, egalitarian, multi-cultural, educated and informed modern free society then let them remain rooted in the 17th century living like animals, burning witches, and “pleasing” his lordship. I guess that’s why Jesus invented trailer parks.
Meanwhile the few true conservatives left out there will just have a tough choice. They either abandon their principles to follow these idiots on their glorious journey to authoritarian hell, go their own way and face irrelevancy, or let go of their orthodoxies and compromise with the left for a change.

@29 Apparently that doesn’t stop you from telling us we should suck up to those who did. Personally I don’t care if they all go to hell in a hot air balloon.
Elijah Dominic McDotCom spews:
29,
you’re free to make that claim. And I have no doubt you’ll have lots of company in the years ahead.
But whatever the fuck you did on November 8th of last year is irrelevant now. What matters is what you are doing today. Which as far as I can see is pleading the case for a dangerously terrified bunch of authoritarian reactionaries. And the last time we were graced with a concentrated dose of such pleading America followed Preznit Mountainbike McFlightsuit into a thoroughly meaningless and unnecessary war that our children our still dying over almost fifteen years later.
Again, no fucking sale.
So if you picture yourself as one of the “conscientious” true conservative “Never Trumpers” then like I said, you’ve got some tough choices ahead.
-Collaborate, and maybe for a couple of years you can see one or two of your most cherished political ideals advanced. But it comes at a significant cost. You’ll have to abandon forever any ambition for free markets, limited government, balanced budgets, individual responsibility, or moral authority. And watch in mute impotence as The Party of Lincoln becomes the party of self-promoting pussy grabbing kleptocratic pederasts.
-Splinter off as the loyal opposition by vocally opposing Trump, his Congressional authoritarian collaborators, and offering a clear, unambiguous “true” conservative alternative. Reverse the Tea Party tide and maybe elect a small handful of House members, win some local races and even a few Governorships. Limit the hillbilly damage and start rebuilding. Give up competing on a national level for the next thirty years.
-Compromise on some of your conservative orthodoxies and work with Democrats where you can. Yes, taxes on the very wealthy will go up. Yes, lots of special tax treatment for huge multi-national corporations will be eliminated. And you’ll have to accept that most Americans really and truly like the New Deal and Great Society social programs that you’ve sworn to destroy. But as the experience with Obamacare should have taught you if you could see through the fog bank of Birfer lunacy, you can get a lot of what you really want. Provided you can live in a world where Democrats get a lot of what they want (let’s face it – that’s always been the real hangup).
Thing is, were going to get it eventually anyway. We always have.
Queen of Diamonds spews:

The future of work:
“Boeing (BA +1.7%) is taking steps to build satellites more quickly through new production practices that will rely more on 3-D printing and involve fewer workers, which eventually could transform its traditional way of turning out high-end commercial and military spacecraft, according to Paul Rusnock, who leads the company’s satellite business.”

Of course, the dumbfuck doctor (yes, it’s possible for a doctor to be a dumbfuck, as Boob proves over and over) completely misses the point, which is, how many jobs pay $1,800 a day? And I don’t even work for it. The stock market GIVES it to me! For doing nothing!
I’m simply pointing out what a racket capitalism is. That “work ethic” Republicans love to tout? Their ethic, your work. That’s how THAT works. Well, all I’m doing is horning in on that racket.
By the way, Boob, could you explain how many Treasuries you’d have to own to collect $1,800 a day of interest? The current rate on the 10-year is 2.442%. Even if we assume interest is paid only for days the stock market is open, you’d have to own $18,574,938.57 of 10-year Treasuries to make that happen. So, I think it’s reasonable to argue that what I made in the stock market today is equivalent to an $18.5 million Treasury portfolio.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@38 Well, goody for you, then your portfolios underperformed the averages today, too, didn’t they? Unless your Unilever holdings are the size of four fingernails.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@35 Using Boob’s math, a $300,000 portfolio earning 0.6% a day would return 151.2% a year:
300,000 x .006 x 252 days = 453,600/300,000 = 1.512 x 100 = 151.2%
I don’t know about Boob, but I’ll take a 150%/yr return any day, whether it’s on $1, $20, $100, $1,000, $300,000, or $1 million. So he can squawk and flap his wings and eat rats all he wants to, but a wiser owl than him says my $1,800 beats the wages Republicans want to pay. And I can manage to live on $1,800 a day, which is what really matters.
@godwinha spews:
@ 39
how many jobs pay $1,800 a day?
How many jobs take that much per day out of your checking account when the market’s down, Dumbfuck?
Roger Rabbit spews:
@32 I don’t plan to beat Trump in 2020. I can’t fix stupid. So I’m planning to profit from his re-election instead, which means being a capitalist instead of a worker.
Roger Rabbit spews:
At some point, Trump’s plan to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. has to mean paying Chinese wages to American workers. Either that or make consumers pay a lot more for everything they buy by slapping tariffs on most of the goods sold in our country. And either way, Walmart is going to shed a lot of those lovely right-to-work jobs. So instead of working for Walmart at $7.25/hr, all those blue collars who voted for Trump will be working for ABC Plastics Molding Co. for $7.25/hr. At least under Obama they had Obamacare, but they won’t have that anymore, or their food stamps either. The latter will be redirected to buying more F-18s from Boeing.
(Full disclosure: Roger Rabbit owns Boeing stock and will personally profit from this clusterfuck, but as Roger Rabbit holds no public office, this is legal and he’s not responsible for this mess.)

“Your excuse about Unilever? Weak-ass excuse. As if the S&P 500 didn’t have any losers to lower its overall gains today.”
Yeah, well, a -7.5% drop in Unilever caused my portfolio to underperform the averages today, which as it happens throws off your $300,000 calculation by quite a bit. I’ll bet your Unilever dropped -7.5% today, too, so you can’t possibly have overlooked this skewing effect unintentionally when you performed your little calculation.
“You crow about being a capitalist and not having to work.”
Not really. I’m mocking the capitalist system and bemoaning the lack of reward for honest labor under that system for the workers who produce ALL of the wealth. What I’m really saying is that I shouldn’t be getting away with this, because unlike you, I have a conscience.
“Ya know what work lets you do, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit? It lets you cover the risk of selling naked puts.”
To each his own. If you want to hold down a job for the purpose of putting money in other people’s pockets, that’s your business.
“I’ll miss not working.”
Going back to work? Wow, that didn’t take long. Fortunately for me, my personal money management is better than yours. Also, I don’t screw around with naked puts.
“Living off of dividends is boring.”
It certainly is. No commuter traffic jams, no bosses yelling at you, no coworkers stabbing you in the back, no customers getting in your face. I’m fucking bored to death, which is perfect for me, being the fat and lazy rabbit that I am. If you crave adventure, send me your address, and I’ll send you brochures on Mt. Everest climbs and Nile crocodile hunts, or I can line you up with a mercenary gig in a remote country.

However, the fact someone else made $1 million in the stock market today doesn’t mean I “lost” by making only $1,800 on the same day. I came out ahead, too, simply not by as much. If you want to look at this as “losing,” then I’m willing to “lose” every day!

I like Democrats chances in a two way against a guy who sold the 2016 election for oil leases, spends $3 million taxpayer dollars every weekend to avoid feeling lonely, and appears utterly incapable of expanding the base. Won’t come easy. But I figure the Dems start from about where things were left on Nov. 9th. Which in case you didn’t notice came down to about 70,000 votes spread out over a few dozen counties. That’s just about how many people spent Monday yelling at Republicans in town halls.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@52 “until you learn how not to wail … about how one stock dragged down your daily return”
Unilever was up 14% on Friday, down 7.5% today, so that’s up 6.5% in 4 days, which is almost a 600% annual return, and you think I’m wailing? Are you drunk or high on drugs?
Roger Rabbit spews:
@53 Not to be overlooked is that he’s already pissed off nearly every female and minority voter in the USA. I won’t say I like our chances in 2020 at his point — it’s too early to tell. The bottom line is Trump promised an economic miracle, and if he doesn’t deliver, about half of his voters could prove to be quite fickle.
If history is any guide, like other new presidents, he has a window of a few months to get his main accomplishments done. But the biggest pieces of his agenda are in danger of going nowhere because of all the controversies bogging him down.
The D.C. chatter now is that “tax reform” won’t get done this year, and if it doesn’t, the stock market’s “Trump rally” will collapse, and then – boom – before he knows it, the midterms are just around the corner, and absolutely nothing will get done because all the congressmen will be busy running for re-election.
And then, if the midterms put the Democrats back in power because he didn’t get anything done in his first year, that will shut him down for the next two years, and he’ll have to run for re-election in 2020 on a record as a failed president.
That is, if he’s still around. He’s 70, and lots of people with stressful jobs aren’t still working at 74. I don’t get the impression he’s having fun.

He cannot read a single word. He is literally, completely illiterate. He will not run in 2020, because he won’t even be in office to run. He’s morbidly obese, he’s lived a life of abject luxury and sloth, he has never had to actually do any work as he has never had anything resembling a job. This Job he now apparently holds will either kill him or destroy him utterly. He does not have the physical strength nor the psychological wherewithal or the intelligence to support this sort of position.
If he is still in office in 2018 I’ll eat my hat.
A Job being defined as, a place where one is required to show up every day, perform acts of labor or decision-making that complete or compliment tasks set by other people. Donald Trump has never once had to do any of that in his entire life. He hires people to hire people that make decisions in his favor and make him money. That is all he cares about. This relieves him of any responsibility for his own decisions, it indemnifies him from the consequences of those decisions, and permits him to remain aloof in the decision-making process while still making enough to support his lifestyle of pure luxury and absolute protection from the Law no matter what he does.
He is the first President in the history of this country that cannot read a single word, does not care to, and doesn’t give a rats ass about what the people around him put down on paper because he can hire people to hire people to manage the people that read things and make the decisions for him. When he himself is required to make a decision, he merely has to make a phone call to the person he knows is in the right position to advise him on what that decision should be and runs with that. He knows his lawyers will protect him, he knows the Attorney’s General of the various States where he has some financial interest will protect him by refusing to look too hard at what he’s doing because he has them all in his pocket. He’s spent his entire life manipulating and buying people, and when someone won’t be bought, he replaces them with someone who can. He has never once at any time in his life, ever been subjected to the Law.
He is DONALD TRUMP. Dumb as a STUMP. But he has money, and money is enough.

Speaking of precious snowflakes, I give you the WSRP.
“Those America Hating Democrats are going to devide the country (“I hope he fails”) by spreading vicious lies about the President (“The birth certificate is fake!”) and storm the Town hall meetings (Taxed Enough Already!) and make up lies about Republican policy (Obamacare Death Panel)
When that doesn’t work they’ll turn to activist courts (Judicial Watch ) and George Soros, did a know he’s a Jew?, will fund it all.

The general twitter condenses….
It would have been nice if Milo was shunned for showing ID photos of trans students at each university speech or for sending his minions on doxing harassment missions against any woman who had the audacity to say sexual harassment and rape culture are real or just for the fascist position that women deserve equality or for the Islam bashing…
But Pedophilia? I guess whatever it takes to end him…

@ 62
If he is still in office in 2018 I’ll eat my hat.
If he’s still in office then, benefits for the permanently unemployable may be tightened enough that you’ll need to, ‘froggy.

I guess a girl can dream. And it does make for a nice pun.
But what evidence is there that your Hillbilly Jesus is really going to support any kind of shrinking of the “hated” welfare state?
I see absolutely none. When he speaks to these issues at all, he clearly means to put the brakes on Zombie-Eyed Granny Starver. And so far it’s working.
Let’s face it, you traded about exactly what you would have gotten from a Democratic President in exchange for the Alt-Right Authoritarian Revolution via Hillbilly Jesus.
Trump is Obama, but with a gutted EPA, a vastly expanded and militarized ICE roaming our communities, a foreign policy carnival of atrocities, slowing economic expansion, virulently hostile trade policy, overtly white supremacist Justice Department, and very poor taste in decor.
The welfare state, expanding entitlements and soaring deficits are here to stay. And you have yourself to thank for it.
