No one is above the law rally in Kalispell

Yesterday, 92 local residents gathered at noon on the west side of Kalispell’s Depot Park to show, in advance of today’s vote on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, their support for the principle that no one is above the law. It was one of hundreds of similar rallies across the nation. They were joined on the sidewalk by 10 pro-Trump counterprotesters.

The event was peaceful and civil, but some of the signs waved by Trump’s supporters were over the top, and one sign was just weird.

Pro-impeachment ralliers civilly debate pro-Trump counter-ralliers.

Old Glory waving, Old Sol trying to break through the overcast.

Putin matters in context.

A subject not mastered by everyone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

OK, wackadoodle.

The wielder of these signs graciously put them against the tree so I could photograph them. But he didn’t want to be photographed with them.

But photographed he was, for he deserves credit for his handiwork.
