The times they are a changing - once again we need the voices , the resistance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=90WD...

Pathetic is the wrong adjective. Pathetic means pitiable or pitiful. The parade was a grotesque waste of tax money, and Trump is a sorry excuse for a president, but neither deserves any pity.

Improving, but still far to go.

Her MAGA critics say she lacks courage. From the stands she has taken, she seems to have abundant courage backed by an equal abundance of empathy. Too bad for the MAGAhats!

Spoken by a person completely ignorant of scientific principles. Science does not deal in binary choices (for the uninitiated "right or wrong"). Climate science deals in trends and probabilities. One day could be 110 degrees farenheit on the Arctic Circle in Alaska, but its climate is still arctic.

Best rhetorical question I have seen, so far.

So public spaces and businesses will not be required to accommodate people with handicaps. Only mentally and physically able, white Europeans will be granted free, unimpeded access to work, shop, dine, and go to entertainments. What're disabled and folk of color to do? Die in misery?

Nothing funny about this. Trump is a serious threat to us and our Constitution. This political setback will become his incentive for more drastic, illegal executive orders.

They could neither predict the foolishness of a slim majority of voters, nor the apathy of a nearly equal number of non-voters.

NO KINGS vs Trump's parade parody: Who reported the truth? If you want to trust your reported news, then you should read the posts of all published and broadcast media. If you don't care, or you just refuse to change your mind, then don't bother.

Yesterday, June 14th, Market Square in Alexandria, VA was packed like a can of sardines. Long live the Resistance. No Kings forever.

I'll bet he tries to.

We were delivered from our mothers' wombs on American soil, So lay on MacTrump, and damned be him who first cries hold...

The rule of law lives or dies on our willingness to act—occasionally with grim resolve. It’s time for people who value justice to screw their courage to the sticking place. https://trib.al/8yrhf4O

Democrats don't hate America. We hate oligarchs who believe they deserve unlimited entitlements, including immunity from legal prosecution, and who think the poor do not deserve decent food, shelter, clothing, or health care. We abhor those who would make America into Amerika.

Because the parade was not about honoring the courageous veterans of our armed forces. It was about soothing the fragile ego of our cowardly POTUS Trump. Were I a veteran, I would be insulted by such a waste of taxpayers hard-earned money.

Crappy birthday to you...

There were clearly more people involved in setting up Trump’s birthday celebration than in attendance.

We've passed our "Kent State" moment. Now what? Last time the tragedy put the brakes on both conservative backlash and violent demonstrations. Trump's cult seems to believe in escalating tense situations until they have excuses to punish or execute demonstrators. Happy endings unlikely.

1970: Four dead in Ohio. 2025: Two dead in Minnesota. Thanks to FTR Woman.

Say no to appeasment. Show up! MAGA wants you to be afraid. Do not give in!

1970: "Four dead in Ohio." 2025: Two shot in Minneapolis. The coup is happening.

Dear Governor Newsom, Time for agressive moves. You and Atty. Gen. Bonta should arrest the ICE agents who've invaded your state. Possible charges, impersonating law officers, abduction, and false arrest. I'm sure you can think of more. Let's test their immunity from state prosecution.

Answers are not enough. Physical consequences are necessary. Trump, his MAGA supporters, and his ICEstapo are immune to shame. November 2026 is a long way off. The Republic could fall before we get another vote.

This is kidnapping, full stop. Aren't there state laws against abduction. Can't state law officers arrest the ICEstapo perpetrators. Federal officers should not be immune to prosecution for state crimes. How about charging "impersonating law officers," like the Minnesota assassin.

Pathetic? Pathetic implies worthy of sympathy. No! It's anything but pathetic. Outrageous is more descriptive, but still not strong enough condemnation of the intent behind Noem's words.

The first shots in Trump's armed, treasonous insurrection. The coup is upon us.

I'm sorry, but I cannot go to a rally with a grin on my face. The facts before us are grim. Too much power is already in Trump's hands. Cowed Republicans and feckless Democrats have failed us, and armed revolution would be a tragedy. Protest is all that's left for us, so God help us find a way.

Trump is the real traitor, breaking the oath of office he took, and rebelling against the Constitution and the law of the land. We need more than talk. We need a new political party, the Constitutionalist party, to codify the principles of the Constitution into enforceable laws.

Start as the FBI did with Capone. Jail his muscle, the ICEstapo, and work up.

ROFLMAO

Why can't these criminals, masquerading as officers of the law, be arrested and tried for kidnapping under state laws. Being Federal officers should not confer immunity for criminal acts.

It's obvious. The motive for these murders is political. I predict the FBI will not investigate. Minnesota law enforcement, including municipal police, state police, and sheriffs must coordinate with their counterparts in adjacent states to hunt down the perpetrator(s) and their accomplices.

There must be something else we can throw into the harbor. Maybe some guns?

Thank the Lord and let freedom ring.
