Let's be fair now. This wasn't all about Donald Trump. We turned out Saturday to rebuke a whole Reich full of dicks and dickesses.

When is the regime next going to send in the national guard to protect their hoodlums from state and local police arrest? The only difference between ICE and these guys seems to be that the 22 arrested were not wearing masks.

Realize that the same two-party vetting machine that gave us George Santos to elect gave us everyone else to elect too.

Your Pics From Yesterday’s Massive Protests

What a powerful incredible day it was yesterday all across the U.S. (and the world)! Early estimates are that over 7 million protesters in all 50 states came out to take a stand against dictatorial ru...

How about impeachment for bad behavior and abrogation of oaths to defend the Constitution?

Democrats should NEVER have allowed those who openly supported the Insurrection to be seated in CONgress. Both parties seem unfit and too corrupt to create a government that isn't corrupt.

My observation too where I joined the march. The turnout was huge, and the traffic driving by honked in overwhelming support.

I didn't even see police on the corners--just one cop car driving down Main Street over the two hour assemblage. Probably the safest place & time to be anywhere in town.

A winner! No only was the protest larger than any in recent history, but the signs created were definitely first-rate.Credit this to "inspiration."

The people I'm met over the years at USAFA have had an ethical code better than that I've seen out of either cartel now referred to as a "political party."

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 10h

One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to be a moral person. If you understand ethics, you have to be depressed about this government and the cartels that control it misnamed as "parties." The term "looters" and "vandals" wou;ld be more honest.

How about a class action lawsuit?

Both were willing to let Netanyahu shadow govern the American citizens and try to enlist their party members to cheer lead for a genocide. Only partisan stooges try to hold up either one as a role model.

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 11h

And what about Trump's prediction of "a very small turnout?" How about addressing that, Mike??

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 14h

They don't because their personal egos vested in their positions and money mean a lot more to them than their country or its people.

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 14h

Yeah. Now it's done without courts, warrants, and with two cartel parties DOING NOTHING about it.

The people don't deserve the bought parties or substandard politicians that have captured their government.

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 14h

Corruption paid better than conservatism. Apparently pays better than serving the people too. That's a sad way for a democracy to end.

"It was joyful. It was peaceful....The Trump regime tried to paint No Kings Day as a “hate America” protest, but what we saw on display was the best of what this country is meant to be -- a nation that refuses to succumb to intimidation, a people that fiercely defends our freedoms... from Invisible.

Sorry, but the installation of the corrupt justices was the work of many more players than just Trump. The entire government of partisan players we get the "choice" to elect, with few exceptions, is rife with corruption. All you need to find them is OPEN SECRETS list of major AIPAC takers.

He was responsible for Citizens United that legalized bribery and corruption. I can bet he would be down with it.

I refer to it as the "court" of the Supremely Corrupt. None of the six are role models for anyone except aspiring dictators.

Nothing "slow" about it. The man seems to hate democracy and empowered citizens who maintain a "government by the people." He has no use for "the people.".

Thankful for The Guardian. Not seeing it reported tonight on the LG news or live channels/
