Menace to United States.

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 23d

Let this sink in: A president can apparently now order lethal force outside of congressionally declared wars, in international waters, without oversight, and face no personal criminal or civil liability—even if the action was blatantly illegal.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

I wonder why the Trump family and their friends hate America so much that they need to lie and grift and drive the country into the dust.

The country has given them so much and in return, they are taking the piss at every level and disgracing themselves globally.

Would love to see Israel complying with the phase 1 cease fire. Return the hostages and deceased of Palestinians as Hamas has continued to do. I’m not taking sides here but Israel is starting to look like a shitty bully boy in all of this!

Stop praising Donald Trump for the ceasefire. He allowed the last 7 months’ of slaughter to continue … Trump and Netanyahu are playing an interesting game here, including putting the US in harm’s way of terrorists.

So, FIFA and IOC … have you decided to pull the World Cup and the games from the US yet? So many athletes will be in danger, don’t allow your events to place people in harm’s way.

Are you participating in a nokings.org rally on Saturday, 10/18? Here are some helpful tips to get your messages across in safe, peaceful, and joyous ways.

NO KINGS
Top 10 Rally Reminders
Lead with Love, Not Anger.
Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades;
compassion lasts.
Look Out for One Another.
Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs.
Smile and Greet Others.
Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension.
Celebrate Families and Kids.
Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride.
Lift Your Voice with Positivity.
Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels.
Keep It Clean and Respectful.
Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace.
Make Your Sign Speak Peace.
Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity.
Be Mindful of Words & Tone.
Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others.
Model Nonviolence in Every Action.
If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest.
Carry Joy Beyond the Rally.
After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

Sitting in my GP's office, the receptionist called a person to advise, we received your referral from the BC Healthlink would you like to be accepted as a new patient? Note this clinic has grown from six GP's to over 12 from all parts of Canada/USA/EU in past 2 years.
