I recognize this group. I was there.

This is how our president answers our outcry.
I’ll be sure my grandchildren see this along side all the protest videos. They already know this man is vile but this really drives it home.
Teach your littles, they are the future generation of voters.

7 Million show up to protest how he’s running things & his reply is to show a video of himself unloading shit on all of us.
I’ll be showing this to my 4 grandchildren when I see them this week along side the the protest videos.
When they are old enough to vote, they’re gonna know what went down.

It takes more courage to show up in a small town when you know the number of people showing up will be small and you’ll stand out all the more.
Good on all of you!

True. I didn’t register either time and the people I came with didn’t either.

I’m no good at guessing crowd sizes but Lee’s Summit, Missouri had a good showing.

Lee’s Summit, Missouri showed up again for the second #NoKings rally. Auntie Fa was there with all her friends and relations.
I had a night of insomnia and wanted to roll over and go back to sleep, but not today. Today I make good trouble for the future generations.

My little corner of the world showed up for the second time.
Petitions against the gerrymandering in Missouri were circulated and signed so - 2 birds, 1 stone.

I was there. Across the street. A lovely day and great energy.

And as a bonus I got to sign the petition against gerrymandering and the ‘respect Missouri voters’ petition.

It sure looks like what conservatives are trying to conserve is the power of white men to control, subjugate & abuse those who they had become accustomed to having control over.
A return to the ‘good old days’ when women, children & ‘lower classes’ had no rights & only men with property could vote.

I used to have every phone number in my memory, now I don’t even know my own kids’ numbers.
When I attend protests without my phone, I write important phone numbers on my arm in case I need to contact someone.
I don’t know what I use that part of my memory for now but it isn’t phone numbers.

I‘m getting sick and tired of not getting my Soros paycheck.
I show up and show up but nothing.
And what is worse, nobody around me seems to be getting their check either.
I’m beginning to think this is a scam.
Gonna show up Saturday anyway because apparently this is what grandmothers are doing now.

The port has to remain an open intake for air. So I don’t imagine there is much you can do other than make sure they can’t come at you from behind.
I think the costumes are a brilliant way to mock their lies about violence but you do have to watch your back.

Also, the fan has to run continuously (it has a battery) in order for the suit to stay inflated. You only turn the fan off if you are removing the costume. Otherwise the costume just collapses and hangs off you.
So stay a safe distance from these sadists if you choose to protest in costume.

Be aware, they can and have sprayed pepper spray directly into the costume air port, then you‘re trapped in a costume full of pepper spray until you can get out.
Never underestimate a bully’s ability to be a bigger asshole than one would imagine.
Be safe out there and literally watch your back.

“The Lord’s work”

You just know that if there were a god he’d be saying, “Take my name out of your filthy, lying mouth.”

There is truly nothing more terrifying than someone who is willing to commit crimes against humanity while simultaneously claiming they are on a mission from god.

You’ve got to give them that one.

I wouldn’t dare to ask for a Queen but I would be content to be a 3 of any suit.

But since I still can’t find the building our local chapter meets in on alternate Sundays I don’t imagine I’ll make it in the deck.

Well, obviously he’s spending his time listening to & translating Bad Bunny’s music so as to be informed on what truly horrible music we are all going to be subjected to during the Super Bowl.
Therefore, no time to understand what is going on in the government or anything to do with his actual job.

There are many reasons to cut down on beef consumption but god help u if u dared to suggest that it is best for personal health & the planet to at least eat less beef.
Then I read about the spike in beef prices that was only going to get worse & thought, well, if you‘re priced out of buying beef…
