The battle escalates, looks like Al is gonna go to Washington and rub Donald's nose in a little shit, right on Rev. Al knows how to fight social fights, he learned from an expert, look for democratic politicians to be in attendance. Maybe he and a few other folks might want to go to church and be welcomed as fellow Christians by those who own the the fucking place! Maybe Barack will want to go with him?
It's gonna be a real bad fucking day for Donald and a worse one for the staff.

Al Sharpton announces new March on Washington led by families of black people killed by police
Washington (CNN)The Rev. Al Sharpton announced Thursday that he's organizing a
March on Washington in late August to mark the 57th anniversary of the
historic demonstration for civil rights as
protests over the death of George Floyd sweep the nation.
Sharpton said the event will be led by the families of black people who have died at the hands of police officers, including Floyd's family. Sharpton made the announcement while speaking at Floyd's memorial service on Thursday.
"On August 28, the 57th anniversary of the March on Washington, we're going back to Washington," Sharpton said as he delivered a eulogy for Floyd, a black man who was killed last week by a white police officer in Minneapolis,
during the memorial service.
"We're going back this August 28 to restore and recommit that dream (of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) ... We need to go back to Washington and stand up, black, white, Latino, Arab, in the shadows of Lincoln and tell them this is the time to stop this," Sharpton said.
Sharpton said the march is going to be led by the families that "know the pain" and know what it's like to be "neglected," including the families of Floyd and
Eric Garner, a black man who was choked to death in 2014 by a police officer in New York.
The reverend also said the march is "going to be getting us ready to vote, not just for who's going to be in the White House, but the statehouse and the city councils that allow these policing measures to go unquestioned."
"We are going to change the time," he declared to mourners present at Floyd's memorial service.
