No Kings protest Oct 18th

[lith leo]

We don't have a king. The founding fathers conceived of a republic. Every one of them despised democracy. The people pretending to push against kings are pushing for queens.

No he didn't, thanks to his communist/fascist buddy.

Gee, another thread making light of the protests expected to draw millions of Americans expressing their utter contempt and dissatisfaction with things like this.

​

Meh, it would be something if it were grassroots. Paid protests are meaningless, sugar pie.

It's about to double in size...... for 2 hours..... guess they can only $$$ that far.......~S~

Folks over 70 don't have the energy to be out there all day. Plus, Murder, She Wrote comes on at 3.

I need to do some grocery shopping in Sioux Falls today, but I'll be home well before the 4PM to 6PM "protest", which will be a mile away from my destination anyway.

Funny thinking about the people I went to high school with who will likely be there, in their wheelchairs, all 75 of them. The ones who haven't died.

Not true. They were concerned about a direct democracy and designed a representative one. The irony, in contemporary terms, being they were concerned about the majority subjugating the minority and what we have now is the opposite.

You just keep telling yourself that, cupcake.

Prosecutor Who Rejected Trump’s Pressure to Charge James Is Fired​

Santos Is Released After Trump Commutes His Sentence​

Teapot Dome. Watergate. They’re Nothing Compared to This.​

If you were an authoritarian seeking to influence another head of state, you might offer him a luxuriously appointed Boeing 747 airplane. You might spend big at his hotels or invest in one of the many companies owned by him and his children. You might buy his sneakers, NFTs and other branded products. In the case of President Trump, a potential influence peddler has a vast menu of choices.

But why bother with all that? While campaigning, Mr. Trump announced his cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial, and, just days before his inauguration, his namesake memecoin. Anyone can indirectly deliver money to a Trump family entity simply by buying World Liberty’s tokens. Mr. Trump and his family have accrued billions of dollars in paper wealth through crypto ventures owned by the president, his sons and family friends.

Nopes, but you got the part right about minority subjugation. Which is why these devised the electoral college so urbanites would not take over with their "democracy."

Everyone knows it.

It's 4-6pm? Really? I thought these Saturday things started mid-morning. Or maybe these unemployed losers need to sleep off their Friday weed high.

Of course, being in a cult is easy.
Just follow and defend your dear leader.

Remember, this is the cult that believes that a "woman" has a "constitutional right" to murder her unborn baby.
