While the next Marie Antoinetteesque "let them eat cake-like" frivolous spending exercise for Trump's ego on his arch is said to resemble the Arc de Triomphe, I suggest it more closely resembles Speer's proposed (ahem) GERMAN arch. Even the birds are terrifyingly familiar.

Nancy was a badass in her day. She stepped back from leadership when she did & that was good. But she & the other old leaders in the party are screwing the Democrats over & she screwed over Katie Porter & she should do the right thing and leave. She can be an elder statesman outside of the Capitol.

Awwwww- remember 1975? When the average CEO-average employee compensation in the US was 26-1, and now it's 285-1?

Not 285%, 285X... 28,500%! Roughly $327,00 per week (like they work 52 wks/yr) YES! Over 5X per WEEK what their employees make on average in a year. Yeah- they need tax breaks.

Obviously the administration sucks for this and the courts that are allowing it. But I am most angry at Americans (especially the "Christians") who are cheering it on and think it is just awesome.

How much would you bet that the SCOTUS clerks have a hot-key set up for "in a 6 to 3 decision" in their word processing system for every time Trump gets a court order against him & files ANOTHER emergency petition? And that DB ACB acting like "well geewiz we can't do anything if they don't obey!"'

For reasons too long to explain, I'm unable to attend today. If you are able and willing, please share video and pictures for those of us stuck away. Particularly far away/panoramic pictures. Perhaps crowd sizes might be better than of individuals. But also SIGNS! We can take close ups of signs.

Hey now- I can't think of ANYTHING on earth scarier than Stephen Miller! I have an image of him in my head standing there with Satan, horns locked, petting each other with their tails, shaking their cloven hooves while they seal the pact for their next diabolical plan.

Oh- corrupt governments have been falling like dominos all summer, starting with Nepal. Gen Z has had enough! And the militaries are starting to join the people. I think that is why the administration is freaking out so much about this protest.

The best thing we have going for us is this administration is being run by incompetent boobs. I really wish we could normalize everyone referring to Trump as an incompetent boob. Of all of the insults we could throw at him, I truly believe that would hurt him the worst.

Fair. It actually should be no tyrants here in the US. Trump doesn't have to be King to be a tyrant. It's the whole system. Someone will come in to be the figurehead after Trump and it's a puppet masters behind the scenes doing the oppression.

My only point that last comment is that these crazy MFs are just dying to get violent so I agree that they are begging for an excuse. They are already getting violent without an excuse. And mainstream media isn't even covering the violence & killings unless there is a reason to blame the victims!

YES! And- the worst agitators are the Jan 6ers now employed by the US govt.
The idea they are wearing masks bc they are afraid of being doxxed etc. is BS- it's an order. The admin KNOWS they will eventually start shooting and will claim they are ICE impersonators. It's about plausible deniability.

My favorite thing is all of the global No Kings protests in solidarity with us taking place in countries with constitutional monarchies. It's just **chef's kiss** beautiful. Too bad the incompetent boobs in the administration won't get it.

Even if you're a full blown republican who might like much of what is happening, Americans are really kind of a$$holes in a good way. The WORST thing these incompetent boobs could've done is tell Americans they can't go out & do something they're allowed to do. What did they think would happen?

Okay- we were wrong. I propose a few amendments in the American tradition.
No Kings except:
1- Stephen or
2- Clyde. Clyde can be a king of some kind.

I mean- just LOOK at him!
