What’s REALLY sad is 77M ppl voted for a guy who NEVER PRODUCED ANY KIND OF HEALTHCARE PLAN - since 2015. Not even a couple scribbles on the back of a napkin. WTF is WRONG w/this picture y’all? Wait - let’s go back to criticizing KH for what she DIDN’T DO or say about (fill in the blank). I guess our ‘women issues’ are more powerfully distracting?🤔🤗 ask HRC

Well, the 'wimmen' press DID have something to say - where are THEY now? All 'magically' vanished from the air waves, with the exception of Rachel and Nicolle who are still hanging on because they're SO POPULAR/RESPECTED that these limp dicks wouldn't dare try to remove them 'at this point' in time. Who knows what tomorrow will bring, though? OR they're just hedging their bets IN CASE we actually DO take the House in 2026 and then they'll claim 'See? We DID care about having GOOD women anchor/reporters' (just not those uppity black/ethnic ones who make us uncomfortable/stepped out of line). Grrrr

“No King’s” days are an important way to protest.

No purchases (except food) for five days straight!

I think adopting the "No Kings" slogan was a big mistake. It conjures up goofy images of the Burger King mascot etc. -- Americans don't have much emotional resonance re kings.

What it should be called is "No Dictators" with photos of dead Hitler in his bunker and Mussolini hanging from a gas station roof as the standard imagery.

We have to stop being cutesy and frivolous. We are fast descending beyond the point of no return.

There should be an elected Democratic representative at every protest, if not fed, then state. Can the party just for fucking once mobilize itself in a coherent and strategic manner????

I don't care one way or the other. But, a word from the former other side: run with what you got. The Left's impulse to get all up in it's own head is a huge boat anchor that keeps it mired in status quo. Your 'words matter' fetishes leads you down rabbit holes and paralyses action. The Right doesn't have that problem, it's all id and impulse. And yeah, that's the problem too. I do not want to live under the Right.

"No Kings" alliterates. It's two syllables. There's no advanced concept or definition to process. The first I heard it, I thought King George, not the Burger King, but maybe that's just me. Point is, it doesn't matter. The Right doesn't moan about 'big mistakes', it adapts, and wins.

Yes.

Drastic action *is* being taken. By the government. Tearing apart apartment buildings, beating up old people, shoving around journalists, gutting health benefits, murdering foreign nationals on the high seas.

We got your drastic action right here! But not enough. Stephen Miller is now openly wishcasting for organized, armed insurrections that set cities ablaze and murder Federal agents. He wants it so bad he can taste it.

What's amazing to me is that, in spite of all the wailing by the Left and the Media about 'intimidation' and 'fear', there is remarkably little of that as a response to this shit. Governors are telling Trump to fuck himself. Tens of thousands of citizens come out and tell Trump to fuck himself. Comedians tell Trump to fuck himself.

Meanwhile children are dying in Texas of preventable and treatable diseases. Memaw will soon die since her dialysis will not be available anymore. More than three in four people enrolled in ACA plans live in states Trump won in 2024.

She is shrieking and insulting them, mocking the way they speak, interrupting, refusing to answer pretty much all Dem questions and instead spouting propaganda like "The dimocrats are responsible for the shutdown!" to create video clips to play before the ignorant masses.

She is armed with quips like (repeated mutliple times to Blumenthal) "you LIED about your military record to get elected! Do NOT question my ETHICS!" Screaming.

“Delegate” is probably the operative word.

Iirc, LBJ was sworn in twice after JFK was shot. First by a judge on AF1 before it left for DC. We’ve seen this picture. Jackie is standing there in shock in her blood-soaked suit. But I think the Chief Justice re-administered the oath of office once he was back in DC. Just to make double sure it was legal.

And now that my memory is working, didn’t Roberts screw up the oath during one of Obama’s inauguration, & so he re-administered it again at the WH?
