I agree with John Stoehr about many things, and my disagreements are usually pretty minor. He is almost entirely right in this thread, and his view of Biden is spot-on. The points I disagree on have to do with John's tendency to flirt with leftist populism, which is no better than rightist populism.

Elites hated Biden. Newsom wants their hate, too.

Is the No Kings movement the new Tea Party movement?

A THREAD.
Public Service Announcement:

We're coming off Daylight Savings Time. Since this is the Trump era, remember tomorrow morning to turn your clocks back three centuries.
Precisely. This is Trump being desperate to make a mark )or more than one) on DC that he thinks can't be erased.

But he will be erased.
I did find Robert, and I also followed him. I think about you often, and I'm really glad to find you're still doing well. How's that lovely wife of yours?
Here's a picture off my back deck, of dawn this morning, to help motivate you to come for a visit!

(And yes, the Camaro still runs like new. No way I'm selling that!)

Thread about the upcoming Arc de Trump
The Ballroom he destroyed the East Wing for will take until early 2029 to complete. This ugly self-aggrandizing arch is slated to be finished by next summer, for the 250th anniversary of America.

Just in time for Trump's 80th birthday party.

He is such an insecure and petty little "man".

On October 30, 1974, 32-year-old Muhammad Ali knocks out 25-year old champ George Foreman to reclaim the title of heavyweight champion of the world. Seven years earlier Ali lost his title b/c he refused to be drafted into the Vietnam War. The “Rumble in the Jungle” was held in Kinshasa, Zaire.

On October 30, 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. + Rev. Ralph Abernathy were arrested + forced to begin serving sentences in Birmingham jail because they led peaceful protests against unconstitutional bans on "race mixing" in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. This is after King won the Nobel Peace Prize.

On October 31, 1977 Violet Palmer, a Black woman, became the first woman to officiate an NBA game between the Dallas Mavericks and the then-Vancouver Grizzlies. She was also the first woman at any level to officiate an All-Star game in any sport. #History #BlackSky
I bet all y'all have forgotten one year ago, on the campaign trail, when Trump debuted the prototype for his new business venture, Trump Limos. He never followed through. Another campaign promise broken.
I'd put up any money that Trump is on the side of Rio cops. and is looking for an excuse to do this ASAP in, say, Chicago. And not because he gives a shit about drug gangs. He just wants his brownshirts to kill Americans.

Prove me wrong.

And note that the Lincoln Memorial is not positioned correctly in the model in the first tweet. You'll see that in the Google image in the second tweet. Trump had the Lincoln Memorial model rotated a bit to have it pointing directly at the Trump Arch across the river. His ego demanded that.

Here's an arial view from Google Maps, with the site of the Trump Arch circled in red. Yes, it's at the entrance to the Arlington National Cemetery. After vandalizing the White House, he plans to desecrate America's most sacred burial grounds.

The Marie Antoinette ballroom wasn't enough. Trump plans to order up a triumphant arch in honor of himself. Here's a model he was displaying in the Oval Office less than ten days ago. That's the Lincoln Memorial in the foreground, and the Arc de Trump across the Potomac.

Followed you back! Great to see you again!
If a foreign nation did this, or any person or power who wasn't Trump--

-- we would be at war right now.

If it was any president other than Trump, impeachment articles would already be enacted.

Benedict Donald owns the Republifascist Party.

White House East Wing demolished, new images appear to show
Trump first said the project wouldn't interfere with the existing White House, but on Thursday satellite images appeared to show the entire East Wing reduced to rubble.

What's to keep Trump from demolishing the Lincoln Memorial? The Washington Monument? The Smithsonian? The Vietnam, WW2, and Korean War memorials? Really, why shouldn't he? And pave Washington DC to make the parking lot for a Trump DC Golf Resort? Whythefuk not?
On this No Kings Day, remember that Benedict Donald is a 34-times convicted felon, a serial rapist, and a pedophile.
I want to remind you all, Donny Diapers is a 34-times convicted felon, and a serial rapist and pedophile.
Oh, I don't think Republicans will ever act in good faith. No deal should ever be made of the sort, "We will make <this> concession now, if you Republicans will agree to do <that> later."
Daily reminder: Benedict Donald is a 34-times convicted felon, and a serial rapist and pedophile.
