My thoughts on leadership.
“Who cares?”
The New York Times reported today that President Trump’s official response to the millions of people protesting yesterday was simply, “Who cares?” And I can’t think of a more succinct way to encapsula...

Tell me again why we marched yesterday. We cannot let this continue.

Also, “50%” have “almost” used that? Boy, he really does love the uneducated.

Trump: "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power."

Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

People have power.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

The GOP called protestors "terrorists" and "Marxists" and that didn't stop retired moderates in small towns from coming out today dressed in frog costumes because they're tired of this obvious bullshit.

Two million more than in June. Seven million total.

The GOP should be very worried.

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings
(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

So we don’t have a functioning government right now, but a racist podcaster gets a meaningless award after his death. Okay.

Can Trump be removed under the 25th Amendment?
It’s not the first time Trump has faced calls to step down since he returned to the White House in January

I have two observations after watching the video: the screen wasn’t frozen, so that wasn’t the technical issue (he was seen blinking, for goodness’ sake); and he was clearly reading a teleprompter—this gives a lot of weight to conjecture that he realized too late what he’d just said.
Stephen Miller ‘Plenary Authority’ Remark Sparks Controversy
The Trump aide sparked suspicion when he stopped speaking after he mentioned the President’s “plenary authority,” though CNN blamed a technical issue.

Also, I was surprised at how well I remembered a poem that featured prominently in this movie. I distinctly remember studying this in my first English Lit class in high school. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46560/...
Dulce et Decorum Est
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge.

Watching THE KING’S MAN in these trying times definitely made me feel things. Couldn’t the Kingsman organization be a real thing?

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is one of the few rollercoasters I will always ride—and not just because I love Aerosmith. A little Muppet chaos may be just what this coaster needs!
