Fascist assholes.

They're going out of their way to provoke.

Project 2025 strikes again.

They're really wanting to invoke the Insurrection Act.

LOL

He's our favorite president and the most popular president EVAH! (It must be true. He tells us that all the time!)

You'd think he'd want to stick around and embrace his adoring masses.

Easy for leftists to cowardly mock someone from an anonymous forum board when in real life dumbass leftists walk around in public dressed as aliens.

Asheville 'No Kings'

Like he would even look out the WH window. Dementia Don can throw ketchup at the TV in any state.

There are demos in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens.

Not sure how close either is to Mar-a-Lardo.

Not close enough.

He can stick his head in the sand (trap) and tell himself he's beloved.

A good day.

Nice homepage pic, though:

Article:
Dire warnings and 'tactical frivolity': Hendersonville No Kings protest exceeds June crowd
Not sure if it's good for the movement, but I like that headline.
(cool drone video, Main St is closed for the rally!)

Key Points

... Attendees, including military veterans, voiced concerns over the deployment of the National Guard in U.S. cities and healthcare access.

Some protesters used "tactical frivolity," wearing costumes and blowing bubbles to demonstrate a peaceful approach....

“No, Mike Johnson, we love America, that’s why we’re out here!” one sign said, a response to a Republican attempt to brand the movement as un-American.

“We will never bend the knee,” said another.

“To have military people coming in with guns, facing off with people, that’s not right,” Vietnam veteran Lowell Swindler Jr., 78, told the Times-News, referring to recent National Guard deployments in American cities including Memphis, Portland, Oregon, and Chicago.

“The military is not supposed to be against its own citizens,” he said.

(Great gallery, better than the earlier 2 demos)

Not political, just a cool pic:

The golden dome of the Henderson County Courthouse reflects in a window during the “No Kings 2.0” rally in downtown Hendersonville on Oct. 18, 2025. The event was part of a nationwide day of action organized by Indivisible.

Your favorite/s? Back to the article:

... While many people expressed similar serious thoughts, others throughout the protest wore inflatable costumes of dinosaurs and frogs.

Alyssa Finocchiaro, wearing a frog hat, said that’s a nod to a protester in Portland, Oregon, who went viral after being pepper sprayed in an inflatable frog suit by police.

Others in Finocchiaro’s group wore plush jumpsuits and blew clouds of bubbles.

“We’re just going to dress up and show everybody that we’re not violent and we’re just here to peacefully protest,” she told the Times-News.

“Mockery takes away power,” Sharon Kershner, also wearing a frog hat, told the Times-News, calling the lighthearted approach part of a strategy of “tactical frivolity.”

Did someone here say that Portland would inspire others?

... The crowd seemed to significantly exceed the estimated 2,500 people who attended the last No Kings protest in June, organizer Sue Hall told the Times-News.

From her vantage point on the speaking platform, she saw attendees spilling onto side streets, which she hadn’t noticed at the last event, she said.

“A lot of people don’t get involved until until things affect them directly, but more and more people are being affected by all the destructive policies that we’re seeing,” she said.

“I consider this a warmup for 2026” and the many protests she expects to be necessary over the coming months, she said.

Hooterville Proud!

'No Kings': At least 2,600 protests underway in cities across US

... Several Republicans lawmakers on Capitol Hill said they believe that Democrats are purposely keeping the government shut down because of the “No Kings” rallies, with plans to reopen it afterward.

“That’s what we hear,” New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, a Republican who represents New York, said during a one-on-one interview with The National News Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat on Thursday. “I think it’s a foolish decision." ...

Speaker Mike Johnson is among the Republicans who have called the protests "Hate America" rallies.

It turns out the 'Hate America" Rallies tomorrow are being funded by the billionaire who hates America the MOST. Anyone surprised?" Johnson wrote on social media on Friday.

His post included a link to a Fox News report, which noted that George Soros' foundations are helping to finance the "No Kings" protests.

All the GQP has is whining and fearmongering.

They estimated the marchers on Michigan Avenue was 250,00 people and two miles long.

Over 7 million people in the states.
