No Kings Protests

Don’t forget not ending the Ukraine Russia war in one day and letting fucking WW3 start between Iran and Israel.

Actually, Trump's approval in the RCP average of polls--which correctly predicted the election--is -3.8. Could be better, but about the average of the last couple months, and a lot better than his first term.

But before you get all frisky over this, the same site shows the Right Track/Wrong Track better than it's been at any time over the last 15 years.

Views of Trump are also net positive on immigration, and the Republican party polls more positively than the Democratic party.

Yeah, we've all heard about the 5 million protesters this weekend. This will be forgotten like the last few "game changer" protests. Anyone remember Hands Off or Smash Oligarchy? Me neither. No one's gonna care in a month.

Why? It isn't that Trump isn't making mistakes. I share your views on freak show RFK, for one, and vaccines. (BTW no one gives a rip about climate change anymore. It polls near the bottom of issues for the American people, and even Greta "Doom Goblin" Thunberg has moved on to Gaza.)

It's that the Democratic party provides no alternative. It's race, sex, and LGBTQ grievance politics, literally blaming the American people for not embracing the worst presidential ticket of my lifetime (thanks for giving Walz such a platform, he's the gift that keeps on giving to the Republican party). It's pro-illegal (I notice you conflate illegal immigrants with all immigrants; we all see this). It's pro-thug in general, cashless bail, "equity," and all the grifts that have hollowed out inner cities. If you want to talk education, look at the big blue cities and the utter clusterfuck that are their public schools, despite some of the highest per-student spending in the nation.

If the Democratic party ran a 1992 Bill Clinton, they could clean house. I'd switch my registration too. He was tawdry but effective. But instead, they're in thrall to their worst.

Instead, who do they have?
Harris? A year ago, Dems were trying to cut her from the ticket because she was such a drag on it.
Walz? Scott Jennings described him best, a mixture of mean-spiritedness and buffonery. Nominated to code-speak to white males only to be a fatass soyboy.
Pritzker? Speaking of fatass! Billionaire by inheritance, governor of a failing blue state.
Newsom? The pictures of California, and fleeing residents, speak for themselves.
Buttigieg? LOL! Incompetence at every level. If he weren't gay he never would have gotten out of South Bend.
Moore? Another blue state governor rapidly declining.
Shapiro? Probably the Dems best choice, if only they could silence the Jew-hating caucus.
AOC? Don't make me laugh, what's she ever done besides clap back on social media?

Instead, it's Orange Man Bad 24/7.

You can't beat something with nothing.

It's very common to have the population so disgusted by the president that millions of people are protesting less than 6 months in. Trump doesn't have any interest in doing the job. He doesn't read. He doesn't read the daily briefings he gets. He's so narcissistic and selfish that literally everything is about him. What bribes can I take and how can I enrich myself? What scores can I settle? Everything is about himself. Nothing is about making people's lives better.

^ Same as the first term. Republicans have better outlets for their anger than waving signs and hyperbolic nonsense.

Don't like it, provide an alternative.

Republicans always leave the economy much worse off than when they took office and a Democrat always has to come in and clean up the mess. GDP and job creation have already taken a nosedive since Trump has taken office. Our economy was called the envy of the world when Biden left office. When Trump leaves office it will once again be a total shit show.

Yeah, 20% inflation is the envy of he world, especially when it was completely avoidable. If we had Harris' unrealized capital gains taxes, we'd really be fucked.

Again, provide an alternative, don't just barf back talking points. That already failed.

You do know that when Biden left office inflation was at a little over 2% right?

^ You do know point inflation means very little? Over 4 years the price level went up 20%.

chicagobooth.edu

That's one theory. But voters trusted Trump much more on the economy than Harris.

Actually a large amount of our country is racist and sexist. If Harris had done nothing different than be a white man she would've gotten many more votes.

She was the worst Democratic candidate in my lifetime. Farthest left Senator in office, nominated the farthest left governor. Their campaign website had how they're for this group or that group... except men. Now they're spending 20 million to find out how to get men back.

She could have looked like one of the Winkelvoss twins and gotten thwomped.

Harris was no leftist. She supported Biden who was just Trump with the corporate media behind him.

Trump won because he was able to mobilize enough bigots to vote for him.

Protests need to gain momentum. Oppose the regime by any means necessary

^ These protests will be forgotten like the last one. You're free to leave the country, bruh.

"Trump is wildly unpopular."
"Actually a large amount of our country is racist and sexist"
"Our economy was called the envy of the world when Biden left office. "

These are just comments and opinions not based on reality.

• Dems just hate Trump. The DNC Machine has been is full throttle to Balkanize America. The "Summer of Love" V2 is being funded by haters of America. Biden sucked asses of CCP and did nothing to enforce trade agreements as the CCP worked to get around them. If rump is so unpopular, why is the Dems.

• So far in 2025, the favorability of Dems ranges from 21% to 39% depending on the poll; CNN and NBC have them in the low 20% range. "Peaceful" Protests, Palisades fire and idiotic behavior of Dems, hiding Biden's severe cognitive decline that really needs the 25thA, Harris was a fool of monstrous proportions, Waltz was chosen as a running mate, AFG withdrawal was the worse military disaster in American history with 13 dead soldiers using an airfield the Taliban was to "secure", Russia marched right into Ukraine, Hamas murder 1,300 Jews with Biden not giving Israel the supported need and so on destroyed them.

• So far this year, $2.5T in foreign investment has been committed. I certainly don't see this happening in other countries.

• The price of gas and oil has declined

• Inflation is slowly moving down and GDP will edge up in 2025

• Eggs" have recovered

• Year end GDP is looking at 3.0%-3.5%

• Racist? Seriously? Harris didn't get elected as she is a moron even with her handlers.

Trump will likely become less popular as time goes on. When things like natural disasters hit with Trump freezing funding to FEMA and once again showing that he could care less about the American people. He's certainly not going to get more popular. He's a self absorbed pile of shit who only cares about himself.

Harris could never be taken seriously with her first name being Cumela. Nobody on the right had a similarly embarrassing first name

If Trump invades Iran and sends Americans to die for Israel he'll be done with

I don’t get the name “No Kings”. Are you TDS sufferers now claiming he wasn’t elected?

I’m wondering if anyone noticed during the military parade they played this song while the soldiers were marching past the review station
youtube.com

So some professional organizers managed to leverage sympathy for immigrants to mobilize some of the malcontents in our population to riot, er, I mean protest. Yawn Hardly a great feat nowadays in this era of mass social media and never-ending angst among the self proclaimed victim class of our population.
.
Yet a couple of melodramatic dipshits on this board interpret that as some broader indictment of the mood of the nation. Alrighty then. 😉

For all of the Trump supporters on here, how do you justify Trump wanting tax cuts for the super rich while freezing funding for FEMA? Trump clearly doesn't give a fuck about the American people and you support this why?

Trump appeals to their bigotry and far right dogma. Look at the republitricks on here. Nothing they say is about the American people. Just their own ignorant dogmatism

@Dusty: Trump wants to cut taxes for everybody because he understands that the private sector spends money much more productively than the public sector. This is why tax cuts are seen as an economic stimulant while tax hikes are deemed to be restrictive.
.
Seriously, do schools no longer provide an education in basic economics? When I see a question like this it makes me wonder.

Sasha Stone said it best:

"The Left did what they always do: scream about their hatred of Trump. We get it. You hate the guy. You can think of nothing else. You can’t sleep, you can’t eat. All you see when you close your eyes is ORANGE MAN BAD, and you can’t stand that you threw everything you had at him, and here he still stands. What else can they do except show the rest of the country that they are as annoying as they ever were.

They could have used that protest for any reason other than to express their collective hatred of Trump and the military. But they didn’t. They didn’t fundraise for any cause. They did not push any specific issue. They didn’t protest the upcoming budget bill, nothing. It was just fodder for their social media. LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!!"

sashastone.substack.com

So again we have natural disasters on the way, how is Trump freezing funding for FEMA not a tremendously uncaring act?

You don't believe what you say. The protests were about Trumps abuses of power and anti people legislation. Opposition to right wing extremism.

@Dusty: Which FEMA funds did Trump specifically target? When you understand that, you'll understand why he chose that specific FEMA program. I know that emotional sound bites can be very satisfying to some weaker minded types, but if that's all you're capable of then your input doesn't hold much value.

My issue with MAGA is their psuedo conservative phoniness. You fellas are excusing all of his hypocrisy, meanwhile he’s running up a tab like a drunken sailor on liberty. Spending 45 million dollars on a dog and pony show. So far he’s spent close to two hundred million taxpayer dollars just playing golf, but it’s ok boys Trump has our best interest at heart, he’s making America great by kicking out the workers we need, he’s making America great by attacking our friends and allies, yet the best y’all can come up with is a Sec of Defense that discusses our military plans over an unsecured text network, a Sec of HHS, who’s an anti-vaccine advocate and an all around weirdo, the list goes on and on. What happened to him showing his tax returns, or his plan for a better health care reform?
Y’all keep deflecting to what the last guy did, well he’s not president of any country any more, demand that the leadership that you elected do their fucking jobs, or shut the fuck up.

Protests are important in undemocratic countries. They're the least violent way to cause a change in government, but are a major crap shoot. More likely to cause a change from bad to worse. Look at Iran.
.
The Selma march was a rare example of a protest that really accomplished something. Because the protesters were well disciplined Christian martyrs.
.
At the anti-Trump protests, most protesters leave when they are legally required to. The Luigi Mangione types stay, throw lethal projectiles at LE, and burn and vandalize property (that doesn't belong to Trump). The violence gets almost all the press coverage. Great way to win over the non-MAGA Trump voters.
.
People were naturally reluctant to vote for a politician who rose up in a very stupidly, wastefully run blue state. Instead of a Democrat governor who managed to win in a red state. Just doubling down on the stupidity to assume the issue was racism or sexism.

Its crazy watching republitricks proclaim the glories of government control and institutionalized bigotry 🤡💩

This is what people told me as well. These protests were full of old white folks.
Probably left early for the 4pm dinner specials on grilled liver and onions.

notthebee.com

@25: I agree with a lot of what you said regarding the spending and the immigration raids.
.
Frankly on the government spending side its not just Trump either. We're getting push back from Senate (so-called) Republicans on simple shit like building in a work requirement for grown able bodied men to receive Medicaid, a program that was never intended for them in the first place. It's fucking mind numbing how the paradigm has shifted.
.
As far as immigration, I've already shared my views on this site ad nauseum. It's asinine to believe that we can easily replace 8 million people in our work force doing the crappiest jobs we have.
.
I vote in every Republican primary, but I have not voted for Trump in a single one. I like some of the things that he's done for sure, but in too many other ways he behaves more like a populist Democrat.

@rick then who did you vote in 2024, 2020 and 2016, if not trump?

^ when it comes to spending and grift, these congressmen and senators are treated like the crown princes of the American Republic, fucking greediest group of pigs lining up at the spigot of taxpayer funded benefits, all of them, free flights to wherever they want to go, when they want, just look at the taxpayer funded junkets, they trade on inside information, they secure tremendous contracts from the US Treasury, subsidized housing both in D. C. And in their home districts, offices and staff paid for with taxpayer money, you name it and they probably receive it, let’s look at government officials, let’s take a look at judges, not just SCOTUS, all across America the money that goes to these pigs is disgraceful.
You think for one minute members of both parties aren’t robbing us blind

^who is that on the ground… that looks like one of the posters here lol

`1. The protests were BULLSHIT and the numbers are not accurate.

What I mean is that they "moved" from town to town in less populated areas and they double counted people. In my small town the event moved from a different town with the same people. In my town there was 30 people that showed up. I recognized 3. I talked to them afterwards and they said that out of the 30 only 6 were from my small town. Rest were out of towners. So let that sink in when they "count" numbers.

1. The protests are just people kicking and screaming and dont do shit. Sorry to burst anyones bubble. I fully support people right to protest.... good on you. But everyone is getting sick of it. Every week there is a different one all saying the same thing.... ORANGE MAN BAD. Seriously... look at it. Not helping the cause. Especially when people see them turn into riots like LA and vandalism like in other areas.

2. People are sick of the bull shit political rhetoric by all sides. Stop calling everyone a fucking nazi, racists, etc or a commie, socialist, etc. All it is doing is dividing a country. ESPECIALLY FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS. This make extremeist from all political parties do things. Murdered a Health insurance CEO, tried to kill Trump twice, Free Palestine mowed down people, etc. (see below)

What happened in MN with the murder of the two State Congress people. This was because of political rhetoric. Need more facts on this one. But crazies are on all sides of the political spectrum. Also before people point and say HE WAS MAGA..... here are some facts.

The two Congress people just voted to kill the law giving illegals state funded healthcare. Those two are also the two key Dem's that helped balance the budget and worked with Republicans and voted against Dem's on issues.

The Whackadoddle was appointed to two boards by Dem Governors Dayton and Walz. He was antiabortion. Lots of lies about his "political" affiliation floating around saying he is DEM or he was MAGA.... so dont believe either side yet.

But regaurdless all sides have fucking whackadoodles that take things to the extreme. see point 3.

1. CONGRESS is the fucking issue. Sorry to burst anyones bubble. You can say it is Trump or it was Biden... etc. Congress doesn't do shit but point fingers and collect pay checks. All the while fucking over everyone.

2. The 2025 Tax code which Trump wants to keep helps everyone. It isn't just for the "rich". See my attachment.

The issue is a revenue problem... the budget was predicated on the tax code expiring and going back to 2017 code. With that not happening in this current bill CONGRESS needs to cut spending. We dont have the "revenue" coming in.

The whole "fraud" being found by DOGE. Well it didn't find "fraud" perse it exposed waste and abuse, with little bit or possible fraud. Take NGO's... an NGO can ask for $100M in federal aid to "FEED PEOPLE". Then show they need it by reveiling who they will help with SS#'s. It gets approved. Now the NGO pays $50M to its 10 board members, $10M in rent to a board members realtive for "Rental spaces", $15M to another board members realtive to deliver/serve the food... that leaves $25M for FOOD to feed the people. SEE THE ABUSE. Now the possible "fraud" is if they use "DEAD" SS# numbers found by DOGE that just shows a "body". They dont directly get a check but show someone "living" because that number isn't indicated as "dead" in all the systems. SEE THE PROBLEMS.

Anyways I can go on and on with both sides and things being found.

But moral of the story is both political parties are FUCKED and need to stop pointing fingers. Both need to float back towards center. Both need to understand that no matter what issue that their political party is in the minority most of the time. (40% float left, 40% float right, 20% middle).

@crsm - Pretty well said. The latest Orange Man Bad protest (AARP division) are just social events at this point.

Congress, knowing it can't get anything done, has willingly ceded a lot of power to the other branches. I love how the left wasn't complaining about an overpowered judicial branch when it found rights to gay marriage and abortion. Now, the right complains about judge-shopping for nationwide injunctions when they've been doing that for years as well. Self-awareness isn't great on either side.

And it's always the party out of power that sees the need to get the deficit handled. When they get into power, the GOP wants to cut taxes and the Dems want to add more entitlements. The Trump tax cuts didn't generate the return to the public treasuries we were promised. Under Trump, our national debt jumped even before COVID. The bond market isn't fucking around. If we don't get it handled, we could be looking at more downgrades, even defaults.

But as far as "waste, fraud, and abuse," it goes hand in hand with the amount of government. Government might be the only enterprise where "it didn't work, therefore, we need to spend more money on it!" doesn't get you laughed right the fuck out of the room. Dems are screaming bloody murder now that that whole NGO racket is getting shut down. Taxpayer money to NGOs, NGOs use that money to elect more Democrats. It all needs to get ground to a halt, then the machinery destroyed so it can't happen again.

Meanwhile magatards are assassinating democrat politicians and bragging about the virtues of right wing dictatorship on a strip club forum. Cant make this shit up

^ Trump got you with quite a right hook there, Icey!

Orange man is a complete scumbag who is kidnapping working people and sending them off to who knows where. This looks more like Nazi Germany than our country and it also hurts our economy badly but hey racism is expensive.

Those of you saying what a shitty candidate Harris was are right. And you can blame Biden and DNC for allowing that fucked up situation to come to life in the first place. Biden was more centrist that Maga wants to admit. So great, you use Harris being a bad candidate as a reason to elect Hitler Jr (or Putin Jr, take your pick) and fuck the entire country including our veterans and seniors - literally your own people.

^ Biden ran centrist, governed hard left. Word out of the WH was that he was obsessed with becoming a transformative progressive.

If Trump really gives you a weed up your ass, don't count on an 11th year of yelling Orange Man Bad to do what the first 10 didn't.

Try showing that you (and the government) can get things done.
Kick the race nonsense to the curb; it's not racist to want law and order so your business isn't vandalized and your kids not shot on the way to school.
Actually stop holding men (particularly white working class men) in contempt. You don't need a $20 million consulting project to realize that's why you lost them.
Stop treating Pride Month like Ramadan.
Ignore the radical greens, end EV mandates, make shit in America (this is where Biden was actually on to something, I prefer his approach to Trump's sloppy ass tariffs).
Actually look to make America stronger and more respected in the world, rather than getting into every little regional conflict, or apologizing for the sins of white settler intersectionalist colonialism or whatever the lefty academic buzzword bingo of the day is.

Provide an alternative and quit yer whinin', boy.

This is what you sound like

youtube.com

@dustyj "This looks more like Nazi Germany". What were/are seeing during the Summer of Love, No Kings, Anti-ICE Raids, Mexican Flags in LA, Tesla vandalism is what Russian Bolshevik Revolution 1917, 1930s Germany/Italy looked like, and we can see what happened.

Republicans are not taking to the streets to "burn it all." This is Left is with financing by radical Leftist non-profits, Soros, SEIU, Frankfurt School, ANTIFA, Globalists and Marxists.

One man’s riot is another man’s protest

You can watch the iq of TUSCL libs dropping post by post. The incoherency at the end is laughable.

You bitches don't even believe what you say. Youre bigots who support any action against civil rights or minorities. You come on here pretending to be moral and support law and order. As long as it doesnt involve you cheating on wives or soliciting prostitution.

Mogul youre the most out of touch bitch here. Magatards just killed politicians.

@rickdugan "It's asinine to believe that we can easily replace 8 million people in our work force doing the crappiest jobs we have."

This is so true assuming technology will remain stagnant. HOWEVER, a transition is on the horizon in the very near future.

AI will have a serious effect on "office jobs" and decisions/plans requiring fewer people aside from those to develop AI/robotic hardware/software. Example: Look what GE and Carrier did with refrigeration/cooling to ice producers, or cars to the horse/buggy industry, and airline to trains. Even war is rapidly changing to "Drones not Bones" with AI analysis and planning - what took 1-2 weeks to plan, Palantir can do it in less than a day with better accuracy and current information.

In 5 years Optimus Robots & Boston Robotics will be able to do will be stunning. In 10 years, you won't recognize the low-end workforce.

Get the violent illegals out. It'll take a long time. We'll probably keep a lot of illegals who have been here for a long time 5+ years. A special case will be needed for them as probably non-voters who can qualify for gov't bennies. The 14thA needs to end Birth Right Citizenship if the parents aren't US Citizens - especially no more Birthing Vacas by foreigners. That'll be a wicked mess to fix.

As robots become practicable, the illegal alien workforce will not be needed as they are used today in hotels, construction, ag, trucking and other jobs American citizen don't want to do. Then, you have a problem of where will these people (uneducated illegals and under-educated Americans) find work to support themselves beside 100% dependency on Welfare Wards of the State the Dems want to much more of.

Clinton supported getting people to work to get them on Welfare, and the Welfare ranks fell. Obama reversed all that in a major way. Amazing what the quest for power and control can do to people. And how naive voters can be.

Neonazis using a strip club site as a soap box

Change is best down bottom to the top rather than top to bottom. Now back to naked women!

The neonazis want to use the site as a soap box fpr right wing extremism.

The shooter was a right wing extremist. We have classless Republican senator Mike Lee posting jokes about the shooting. Which party do most of these evangelical nutballs seem to be in? We didn't know who the shooter was initially but it was a pretty safe assumption that he was exactly the type of man he turned out to be.

LOL to the shooter in MN being a right wing extremist - if that is true, release the manifesto. Until then STFU.

By wednesday, the world will have forgotten about the NO KINGS protest

until the dems can find a true leader and turn the american population against trump, the fight is going nowhere. the latest polls have more americans supporting trump than not - GO TO REAL CLEAR POLITICS (unbiased site)

The too dumb to realize that Trump could care less whether you live or die squad.

You support a man who if he saw you bleeding to death on the side of the road would just keep walking and wouldn't even think about helping you. That isn't derangement. Sorry you're too dumb to be able to judge his character.

^ Hyperbolic self-pity is for shrill liberal women.

^ I thought that was the date rape drug
🤣

Puddy interesting that you were dumb enough to believe all of the misinformation that was put out about the shooter which you shared like it was certain facts which turned out to be dead wrong. Your sources of news info blatantly lie to you and you gobble it up.

Icey made a comment about the shooter being a Trump supporter which Puddy responded "Does it hurt to be this stupid?" Puddy gullibly assumed that the shooter was a Democrat believing his poor news sources which claimed he was a Democrat when he obviously wasn't and called Icey stupid. The shooter turned out to be a staunch Trump supporter so who was stupid?

^ You two started blaming Trump before the bodies hit room temperature. Doesn't speak volumes of your judgment. You're completely immune to data, occasionally right by random chance.

Why won't they publish his manifesto? We know what happened the last time law enforcement hid it. When it's a conservative, that manifesto is on the evening news that night.

BTW speaking of stupid, you predicted Harris would get 400 EVs.

Hamas destroyed, Iran smashed, illegals on the run, democrats cutting their political throat supporting the enemy and thugs rioting in the streets and I was offered $200 fs at night in cheetah by a young white blonde. Life is fucking good.
