Photos from the Protect Mueller Rally (De La Guerra Plaza) and march in Santa Barbara on November 8.
It was part of the 1000 rallies across the country. The feelings expressed were to let Robert Mueller finish his investigation, that firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions and putting Whitaker in as the new AG looks like obstruction of justice.

Today is a work day and you commented at 9:45 so by your logic you must not have a job.
I imagine Trump supporters will scurry under the rocks after every thing comes out of the Mueller investigation, just like Nixon supporters did.
You have to wonder at how blinded people are by their fringe politics if they equate Obama with the antichrist and Trump with the carpenter himself. Gaslighting 101… good is bad, up is down, greed is caring, evil is saintly.
Trumpists don’t want folks with opposing views to have any of the freedoms that come from citizenship in this country. That’s why joking about wanting to be in the front row to a lynching or suppressing the votes of democrats is considered funny.
The faces of Santa Barbara-White-guilt-rich-progressive-democrats that don’t have any “homeless” living on THEIR streets or Riviera neighborhoods…!
Wow the self awareness of trumpists is about as lacking as that of a 5 year old… or even Trump himself. “Do as I say not as I do”.
You too will one day reach the venerable age of 60+ and might consider retiring. Or you may be more industrious and not have a job but own your own business by then and be successful enough to take time off to exercise the freedoms that come from citizenship in this here nation since you’re no longer beholden to any other person, especially one who’d censure your right to demonstrate.
Oh yes, label, denigrate and chastise that don’t agree with you.
Help us out here Factonium, “who is always behind this”? And please spare us any Infowars fantasies.
You are spot on that! No deductive reasoning all guilt and nothing really affects them that they fight for like homelessness.
So by your logic every person with a job only works 9-5? Hmm…
It is amazing how so many comments here got deleted. There must be at least a few Trump cultists as paying Edhat subscribers. Trump is a criminal. Jesus was a good man nothing like the president.
Uh read your bible. Jesus was found guilty of heresy by the Sanhedrin and of treason by Pontius Pilate. Christian theology hold that every sinner, that is everybody, is responsible for his death. Favorably comparing Trump to Christ is an idea that only a MAGA cultist would have. The president is more like the Antichrist.
I guess saying that the pictures look like White-Guilt-Progressive-Democrats, which happen to represent how Santa Barbara represents itself politically, will get your comment deleted… 🙂
@ All knowing:There is nothing emotional about the Mueller investigation. Four of Trump’s people have been charged. His campaign manager and personal lawyer are both cooperating and both will be going to prison. Your ad hominem comment about the protesters show that your arguments are weak at best.

Gee I guess that saying the fact that the president is a criminal will get your comment deleted as well
Some of those so called burned out Hippies have more than you ever dreamed of Laugh it up Bozo!
Why protect him? Prior to this he was a dirty prosecutor who framed innocent people after wasting millions of taxpayer $. If he had anything solid it would have happened by now. Let the down vote clock start.
If you are innocent why continue to harp about firing Mueller? Something rotten in the White House.
November 8 was a Thursday. Don’t these people have jobs?
I am constantly amazed by these ‘ protesters ‘ in Santa Barbara who deal cards from the hand of emotion…….I see pictures of these self-described ‘ democracy protesters ‘ and I can’t help but see burned out ex-hippies who have nothing else to do…….
Flicka, Jesus was innocent and look what the group thinkers did to him. Stop being group thinkers people, and please get a grip on your emotions. Group thinkers who think how they are told to think.
Only the Democrats are talking about Trump allegedly firing Mueller. Keep your players straight. It is good fund-raising material for them and their special interest groups that do the “protect” organizing, so they trot out their predictable rank and file to keep the pot stirring. Look a little deeper who is always behind this; not the good ladies who keep showing up for this dog and pony show.
What will these people do with all their free time when they find out there was no collusion and trump is re-elected for a second term…:the horror!!!
LOL!
I was wondering what happened to the Flower Children…!
How sad.
I like that drawing of Trump. It looks just like him, with his histrionic, hamming-it-up theatrics. It is amazing to me how anyone thinks he is even slightly sane.
how sad? that people are exercising their rights and protesting a crook of a ‘president’? maybe you also said the same for Nixon? there is nothing sad about protest. this is how things get accomplished in the US, vs other countries.
so you were present during the biblical times and knew first hand accounts of Jesus? Wow…you must be REALLY old.
Group thinkers? you mean a group of people that share the same ideology and same points of views? Kinda like religion eh? Yeah….
ok so you’re a Trump supporter I suppose. That’s just weird and sad. Telling others they should not share the same thoughts as others is a way to just control people, and frankly, i doubt you’re that good. bravo to all that showed up to protest and exercise their right to do so.
Only a Trump worshipper would favorably compare him to Jesus. The president’s character is the complete opposite of Christ. He is more on the lines of Beelzebub or the Antichrist. Uh, re read your bible, Jesus was found guilty by the Sanhedrin of blasphemy and by Pilate of treason.
Hilarious.. The Trump cultists have the memory of a slug. The Whitewater investigation lasted four years. It started with a real estate deal gone bad and ended with a consensual sex act. The current president has more skeletons in his closet than the catacombs and Mueller is only been at it for a year and half. Give it time. An orange jumpsuit is in Trump’s future.
I always thought that the Russians wanted Hillary to win. How did that go wrong? When she was Secretary of State, she and Putin seemed to get along quite well.
Sarcasm? if not you need your eyes checked or start paying attention to something beyond Alex Jones. Putin and Clinton did not get along well.
A-154, Jesus was innocent so are you suggesting a man in power (President) who lies and, like a dictator, is trying to screw with a free press is in any way comparable to Christ? The Pres loves and admires Putin, anyone who thinks there was absolutely no collusion is delirious.
What was Jesus innocent of? The record is pretty vague. Best interpretation seems to be that he allegedly claimed to be King of the Jews. Was he innocent of that? Didn’t he claim to be the son of the Jewish god? Sounds like King of the Jews to me. More to the point is the idea that one should not be executed for such claims. He did not pose a political threat but did pose a reform threat.

Silly hippies. Protests are about as effective as a classified ad in the News Press… The world has moved on! You’re supposed to take your anger to social media and post Memes while sipping your Kuerig coffee in your $350 Patagonia puffy coat while typing on your $1500 Mac. Duh!
Both Jesus and Trump followers suffer from the very same thing. Blind allegiance and selective reason…
Godwin’s law…
Many people are justly worried that the Mueller investigation will be impeded and the truth about the Russian involvement will not be available until after Trump leaves office. We are fortunate to have the few speak out, whether or not we agree. Luckily we have freedom of speech AND religion.
Why can’t these people face reality and accept the fact that Hillary lost because she was a lousy candidate with an entitlement complex? I guess holding on to a false Russian collusion narrative soothes their wounds.
Good memory regarding Nixon supporters GeneralTree. The same thing happened with the Iraq invasion. Supporters sure got quiet after we spent over $1 Trillion dollars, many soldiers’ lives, and got a ruined country and destabilized Middle East for all the trouble.
Patagonia puffs can be had for $130 now and are a sensible investment because they’re not throw away clothing and can be worn for years. Cabela’s has more expensive and lower quality jackets.
But, we already have a delusional lying idiot as prez.
This thread is like a cage match. People get knocked out only to be let back in for more!
