‘No Kings’ Has Republicans in Disarray

Why GOP lawmakers are spreading fear about the upcoming rally.

www.thebulwark.com

The utterly insipid demonstrations planned for Saturday are a great manifestation of U.S. Leftism in this, the era of Trump. They have no agenda, no plan, nothing to offer the American people other than a sophomoric hate for the President who roundly defeated them last November. To call their movement, "No Kings" is tantamount to saying, "Up with the Good; Down with the Bad." No one can argue with it, but it is meaningless.

The linked article tries to make the case that No Kings has the Republicans quaking in their figurative boots, but I don't see any of that. When your adversary is making an ass of itself speaking, the best strategy is simply to let it speak.

Our Beloved President, bringing a private-sector resume to the ultimate public sector executive position, is exploring the limits of Presidential powers, expecting to be shot down in some instances and successful in others. This is not "authoritarianism," it is good management - a strategy that will benefit everyone who succeeds him in the Presidency.

My older sister (86 and counting) participated with dozens of her bunkmates at an independent living facility in the last No Kings rally, and she was proud as punch for the experience. I figure she was a bit too old for the anti-war protests during Vietnam and she's finally finding a "cause" that she can protest about, even though nobody can articulate its meaning other than, "We are pissed off that we lost the last election."

I used to think that Leftists would never be able to surpass the stupidity of the Occupy protests, but I admit I was wrong. It is interesting that they didn't plan this for a Friday. Essentially none of them work for a living, and it would have been much more disruptive.

NO KINGS!!! NO KINGS!!! NO KINGS!!! NO KINSG!!! You always resort to unknown Reich Wing Conspiracy Theory. You are predisposed to believe their lies.

If you want one guy to be in charge of everything in government, you're an authoritarian.

 

[theHawk]

If Trump says someone is in MS13, then they're in MS13. Right?

If Democrats say a male can be a woman then they’re a woman, right?

 

[theHawk]

He's an authoritarian. He has authority over your reality

^^ Says the party of “transgenderism”.

Don’t think you should be lecturing anyone on “reality”.

Trump is trying to transform the presidency into something that our founders feared and he’s doing so by the complacency of the court and Congress.

Yes, it is authoritarianism. Trump is authoritarian.

Yep, and the mindless flock is with him, looking to him as their savior.

"No brains". How ironic.

Yes, it is authoritarianism. Trump is authoritarian.

And yet the govt is shut down by the dems and he can’t do a thing about it

So very authoritarian

[struth]

He's taking stakes in private industry.
He's using the FCC to regulate speech he doesn't like.
He's using the DoJ to go after his own personal enemies.
He's using tariffs to punish enemies and reward his friends.
He's using the treasury to prop up the currency of countries run by his buddies.
He's using the military to control cities.
He's declaring national emergencies to seize more power.
He's using national security to obscure his decisions.

Shall we go on?

1) so?
2)yeah that’s what the FCC does
3) well yeah criminals
4) um yeah, that’s what we always do with tariffs
5) sure we have always given foreign aid to our friends…that’s not new…I mean I get it’s not the leading state sponsor of terror and a traditional ally so that might have you confused
6) well yes, he’s not the first president to need to call up the guard to protect federal agents or put down rebellion. jFK, Eisenhower and Lincoln all had to
7) where?
8) what’s obscure about his decisions?

 

[struth]

You see whatever Trump tells you to see.

If he says someone is a terrorist, you think they're a terrorist.
If he says he won the election, you think he won the election.
If he says a judge is biased, you think the judge is biased.
If he says someone committed mortgage fraud, you think they committed mortgage fraud.
If he says prices are down, you think prices are down.
If he says the jobs numbers are wrong, you think jobs numbers are wrong.

You believe it all.

Well to be fair, most folks think Hamas is a terrorist organization, historically that actually crossed party lines in America.

But that changed…earlier this century,one oarty embraced Hamas, embraced iran, and its values and views.

Once that happened, you all became demafasict

So it’s less about Trump or what trump says, but more a radical difference in reality and what you all hold as values v the free world

You have divorced yourself from reality. So has Trump.

 

[TimFitz]

England has a King but we have a President. This is a stupid protest.

It is a demonstration against a President who clearly want to be a king or a dictator.

Which makes it as American as you can get.

“ more a radical difference in reality and what you all hold as values v the free world”

Explain.

 

[TimFitz]

I support their right to demonstrate, as long as they do it on a sidewalk, or in a field, anywhere other than on the roads

Hmm...so what youre telling me is, if people are protesting on the streets and places that they shouldn't be, that they should be arrested, put in jail for a year, without due process?

Don’t know what you’re talking about.

Although that is what the Trump regime is doing to Hispanics, whether they have criminal records or not.

Notice Marener can’t answer this question.

Link? Not sure what having a criminal record has to do with it. People get arrested for the first time all the time. Link us to showing they aren't getting due process
