"DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION,
OUR BILL OF RIGHTS,
AND OUR FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS [...]."

That is item #7 in the 2024 GOP Platform "to Make America Great Again"

"Defend our Constitution."

In case you doubted that Congressional #Republicans are hypocrites.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

No Kings 1.0 in Concord NH was estimated to have 5k participants, but this latest one easily had 3 times that. I would guessimate 16k for #NoKings 2.0. And there were 22 other rallies in #NewHampshire!
