#TownHall

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Today one of #USRepresentative Brian Mast's district offices turned its landscape sprinkler system on about 40 #SeniorCitizens gathered to demand he schedule a #TownHall, something he has not offered constituents of any age since 2017.

The good natured crowd was undeterred & heard to say:

"OK Brian, we'll get wet

But you ain't had

A Town Hall yet!"

Imagine spraying old ladies rather than answering their questions. Some fecking hero.

I currently live in Michigan's 10th district, our US Rep is Republican John James, who refuses to hold a town hall, so the Dems are holding one instead.

Despite scheduling it for the same day and time as the Tesla Takedown protest today, all 644 seats are full.

Disclaimer: I do not think the Democratic party can get us out of this mess.

At a Republican town hall in Nebraska, attendees unexpectedly chanted ‘tax the rich,’ catching Rep. Mike Flood off guard — but it’s a policy we should all get behind if we're serious about uplifting the middle class"

Crowd jeers Hageman at tense Laramie town hall. She calls them ‘hysterical.’

Wyoming’s lone congresswoman faced tough questions and angry constituents Wednesday night.

"Her constituents, however, made one thing clear — they want answers. And many of them are angry...

But before Hageman even reached the spotlit podium, she was greeted with a roaring “boo” as she walked across the stage."

"Iowans’ anger over funding cuts & mass firings of federal employees led by billionaire #ElonMusk ’s #DOGE ... boiled over during a raucous #TownHall ...hosted by #Republican Iowa #US Sen. Chuck Grassley."

On Thursday night my husband and I attended this town hall meeting hosted by Democratic Senator Andy Kim. It was our first one ever. We decided it was important to hear from our Senator, and to learn what we can do to fight for democracy and our rights. It was great!

Trump gets STUNNED by More #TownHall BACKLASH

#FIGHTBACK #FASCISTUSA

2min. mark, Spokane: Regarding Trump, one lady said, '...How does this person qualify as sane!? Why isn't he being impeached right NOW?!!!'

#ClassWar #ClassUnity #TaxTheRich

At approx. 7.35 min. mark: For a TOWN...HALL! Republicans REFUSED TO ALLOW CITIZENS INTO A TOWN...HALL. PEOPLE WERE SCREENED AND BANNED IF THEY ARE REGISTERED DEMOCRATS OR INDEPENDENT.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE FASCISTS. THERE'S NO HYPERBOLE HERE.

#GOP #Rage factory reps claim they are adept at dealing with and accustomed to ignoring #Voter rage at #Townhall meetings with constituents.

Newly enriched #CNN commentator SCOTT JENNINGS tells #CNN cohosts : “ you don't think we knew about unhinged liberal mobs? We‘ve been dealing with this since Donald Trump won in 2016.”

John Cornyn has refused to hold an actual #TownHall in years, only holding phone town halls where he has total control. He doesn't even have anyone to answer his phones, all you can do is leave messages. Who knows if anyone even listens to them before deleting them.

Here in #Texas, he's known as Cornyn the Coward. He is too cowardly to even talk to his constituents. I don't know why such a coward keeps getting re-elected. Then again, our other senator is Ted Cruz. 😩

"I name as my #Patriots of the Week those activists who have been leading the growing #protest movement we are seeing in cities—and every state, apparently—across the country.

Like the #TownHall meetings that have garnered so much attention, these #protests are having the same effect. Hundreds and/or thousands are showing up—so much so, those trying to tear our #democracy apart are also taking notice."
