One begins to wonder if putting the dumbest motherfucker ever to live in charge was a mistake.

We were promised peace through strength and we got wars from incompetence.

Remember when we used to think Congress had to approve things?

ā€œTen years of lies ranked above law. Ten years of hate placed above humanity. Ten years where truth became treason and decency became weakness. Ten years of corruption and corrosion in the White House.ā€ -Rick Wilson therickwilson.substack.com/p/ten-years-...

This sums it up perfectly

Our mighty military hardware – revered and feared by nations all! – assembled in the capital, parading by the Mall. But the whole ā€œDear Leaderā€ vibe really casts a pitiful pall. It screams: His daddy didn’t love him and his d*ck is really small.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

One of the smartest decisions the ā€œNo Kingsā€ organizers made was not staging a counter-protest of Trump’s parade in DC. He wanted that confrontation. Instead, millions gathered around the country while Trump’s parade fell far short of attendance goals. It made Trump look small.

Brilliant! "Like I'm really smart"

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

'Where's everybody going?' Confusion as 'hordes' of people exit Trump talk early www.rawstory.com/trump-listle...

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

šŸ† to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

Back at the Capitol in Olympia, WA #NoKings

#OnMyWalk to a very long and hot walk to #NoKingsDay protest. We made our voices heard that we want #NoKings in America!

Donald Trump’s display of limp dickery. That’s what it was; a mirror image of himself. A button mushroom of a parade.

Trump is the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly. https://trib.al/2LTbbMT

ā€œNo Kings Day is about standing up for our democracy. Standing up for our rights, our liberties and making sure that we are sending a strong message that we are going to have a free and fair democracy,ā€ Deirdre Schifeling, the ACLU’s chief political and advocacy officer, told Democracy Docket.

Pentagon rules sharply limit US Marines and National Guard activity in Los Angeles, prohibiting arrests, surveillance, and other customary police work. Here's what federal troops can (and can't do) while deployed in LA as ICE protests ramp up.

Wow. She said everything I have been thinking. Hopefully it’s exactly what you are thinking too. Pass it on. ā¤ļø #fuckthegop

Let’s be clear: Nothing can erase the simple truth that Donald Trump should have been in handcuffs and on television—during the Biden administration—for any number of crimes he undeniably committed. But he wasn’t. 1/2

On the floor of the House, we observed a moment of silence in memory of Evan Anzoo, the first child to die at the hands of #DonaldTrump and #ElonMusk. Two of the richest men in the world cut off food and medicine for the poorest people in the world. 1/2 youtu.be/qf1rTY41f8Y

The people outside this country seem to know this country better than the people who live in this country...

The founding father’s thought of virtually everything with the exception of an uninformed and disengaged electorate.

Yep.

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Breaking news: The Trump administration is planning a major increase of deportations to GuantĆ”namo, including citizens of Britain, France and other allies. Officials said they are unlikely to inform the foreigners’ home governments about the transfers.

BREAKING: Miller reportedly engineered the raids that sparked the protests that have engulfed the city in recent days—likely because he wanted a pretext to send in federal troops. https://trib.al/oM1280f
