Trump is pretty much a symptom of a country that has been corrupt for a very long time. If America wasn’t corrupt Trump would not be president, he would be in prison.
You don’t have to be out in the streets protesting because peaceful protest are a waste of time at least the way they’re done now.
You can get on the phone and call the enemies and the enemies are not just the lackeys and flunkies in Washington. The enemies are the people who buy themselves judges, politicians and heads of government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration. It saddens and angers me that someone in this day and age has ALS, cancer and other curable maladies of the body and mind. The global medical industrial complex has cured anything since polio. Why do you suppose that is? Greed?
Fight and fight smart. Spend your days fighting anyway you can. Fight the corporate propaganda that oppresses everyone on earth. Come up with a plan for you and other disabled people and work the plan. Pick a corporate company like Apple that uses slave labor to make their products and call flood them or send them plain old snail mail from all over the country. Let everybody know that that company uses slave labor and our country the United States of fascist corporate America allows the importation of products made in China by slaves. If that motivates people to break plate glass windows on Apple stores, so what?
Excellent post. I have been saying since the pig was reelected for a second time that he and his corrupt enablers are a reflection of most of this country. I’m going Saturday to show support, however propaganda news will NOT show it. Do you agree?
At this point Trump is being manipulated because he is so senile. He got bullshitted into this attack around which was done for Israel. When he sends a military to break stuff and kill people it makes them feel like a big man.
The enemy of all humanity is corporate billionaires And billionaires in general. The people who are supposed to serve us the American people Are influenced by big money But more than that a billionaire ruling class can get anybody in office that they want. If they see a congressman of Senator working on behalf of the American people They will cut off campaign funding and throw it to the flunky who will work for them.
Campaign contributions are bribes. When there is a fine levied against a criminal corporation, that fine is nothing more than a bribe. It has no effect on the people in the corporation that did unlawful things to the American people.
I agree and deeply believe our presence at the rallies matter and are a strong piece of what’s needed for change. My boyfriend and I will be taking my 84 year old mother (with a camp stool ) to the protest - I’ve watched them so far on media and now I know our presence is critical.
For the record, I also no longer order from Amazon, do not shop at Whole Foods, and will not watch prime videos. Also I will not watch paramount or cbs. And my primary source of media has become substack, YouTube and Apple Podcasts.
I’m always looking for something else I’m buying or purchasing or subscribing to unawares -
I am done with these crooked oligarchs and what has become our government of kleptocrats.
I said horrible things about orange in 2015 and I remember many people looking at me sideways I think of that often- an now wish I had said what I said even louder.
Thank you David for your work. You’re an inspiring writer and a strong leader of thought. We need you and our other independent journalists and writers and bloggers and streamers now more than ever!!!!
"Hello, I'm a Constituent in the USA. I want you to to know YOU DON'T CHOOSE YOUR VOTERS, THE VOTERS CHOOSE YOU. Either you STAND UP TO TRUMP or We will VOTE YOU OUT"
Watch a livestream of the celebration in Minnesota. It’s the flagship event and will feature Baez, Springsteen and Bernie! Begins at noon central time. Be there in spirit! 😊
And to think he blamed Obama for golfing too much. We now have T who owns golf courses and spends a lot more time golfing, watching Fox praising him and isolating the USA from the rest of the world.
I never liked George W. Bush and never voted for him, but I recalled that Dubya refrained from golf (which he loves) during the Iraq War. I asked Google's AI Gemini, and she returned these facts, bearing in mind the AI can make errors:
GEMINI: Yes, President George W. Bush stopped playing golf in August 2003, shortly after the Iraq War began, to show solidarity with the families of fallen soldiers. He stated that playing golf during a war sent the wrong signal, saying, "I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf".
NPR NPR +2
Final Round: His last round of golf was in August 2003, which he cut short after being told a truck bomb had killed 22 people at the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad.
Decision Rationale: Reuters and NPR reported that Bush felt it was not worth continuing the sport, explaining, "I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them".
Context: While he continued to visit troops and participate in other activities, he did not return to the golf course for the remainder of his presidency.
Respect for the troops, seriously?... suckers and losers. Just tools and props to be used for his ego. Both Bush's were men of integrity, T does not know what the word means. Both served as pilots and elder Bush flew and fought in WWII. Trump never wore a uniform except in military boarding school and skipped out on the draft during Vietnam. None of his sons have served. Truth be told, service does not pay enough and they look down on the troops as riff raff. Not ball room material.
Trump pulled that trick (use military for political support) on General Milley in 2020 when he lured him to a walk to St Johns Church. Military is apolitical and not used to support any political positions. General Milley had to apologize for the incident for which he had no control.
I don’t think the orange menace will be spending much time on the golf course. After taking out the Iranian leadership he has a big target on his back and so do the people who associate with him.
Americans are relatively stupid people and they’re thinking in terms of bullets when it comes to assassinations. I don’t think Trump is too worried about bullets even though he might’ve gotten nicked in the ear by one.
If he gets assassinated it probably won’t be an American that does it because I think most Americans who would like to see that happen realize that they don’t wanna see him turn into a martyr. If it happens it’ll probably be an Iranian or a Venezuelan.
I don’t think his stupid enough to go out in public. The Secret Service is probably telling him it would be a stupid thing to do because he’s made so many enemies that have the capability of getting rid of him. He probably won’t see him getting on Air Force One anytime soon.
I think it would be a mistake if he were to be assassinated. On the other hand, his boyfriend Putin is in hiding and it probably would not be a mistake if a Russian who’s been screwed over by Putin were to take Putin out in a drone swarm.
Well I would like to see her a lot of people who are the enemies from within arrested and kept in small dark prison cells for life.
The organizers in Tucson are hoping to stage an eight mile long protest from River Road to Oro Valley. I can't physically protest. 87 years old, on a walker, and record high temps. BUT I will be hanging out the window of our car, banging a very large metal spoon and a very large metal kettle. My son will be honking the horn along with all the other cars. I anticipate that I will be able to hear the cheers over the noise, just like in the past. (bang bang bang honk honk honk yell yell yell)
Too little too bloody late. The fact you think your mid terms are safe, is sad but laughable. Your democracy has fallen. Your constitution is useless. The USA.as you have known it, is dead. Its just got muscle twitches going on right now. You would be hard pressed to find a political analyst on earth who thinks these elections are going to be run fairly. I write that with a heavy heart.
Be safe everyone! And if someone can think of a funny sign that involves Alan Cummings, LaLa and The Traitors, it would be much appreciated! I have too many ideas.
I am fairly certain that Trump's nursemaids are not going to let him see any of the No Kings rallies. They've probably already prepared special videos for him.
I hope that the protestors don't carry signage to the effect of liberals or democrats against trump. It needs to become Americans against trump. We need to reach a hand across the divide and say, "Join us." Drop the rhetoric against trump supporters. Many of them realize that they were badly fooled. Don't insult them. Invite them.
Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow from 4a to 4p I dont think Ill make any protests but I will definitely be there in spirit. Use 5 calls or resistbot both are excellent tools for registering dissent. I dont remember what the text is you send to resistbot but im sure its easily googled and 5 calls is an easy to use app
Now that I lay here with my twisted joints and now a new case of the flu know that I will be on the phone the whole time your protesting. Thank you for going the distance to all the 50501 protesters they diligent and safe. PS for those of you who are not going please get on the phone to Congress and wake them up.
To all Americans — let tomorrow numbers show the most important voice you all have — and let it confirm in solidarity and beyond any doubt how the election results cannot be anything other than Blue taking it back !! 💙
I wish I could David. I have ALS.

Hi Lorri, are you able to get on the phone to Congress members with those of us not able to go and protest to wake them up.
I don't talk so well.
Lori, I understand here's my line today
"Hello, I'm a Constituent in the USA. I want you to to know YOU DON'T CHOOSE YOUR VOTERS, THE VOTERS CHOOSE YOU. Either you STAND UP TO TRUMP or We will VOTE YOU OUT"
Watch a livestream of the celebration in Minnesota. It’s the flagship event and will feature Baez, Springsteen and Bernie! Begins at noon central time. Be there in spirit! 😊
And Orange Idiot will be in FL GOLFING!!!!!!!! While Iran burns, airports are overrun, gas, food, everything is costing MORE! IDIOT!

Americans do not support the fake weak president. We will show it tomorrow. We will show it in November. 💙💙💙

I just hope videos are all over the news for hours!!

I've always said humpty trumpty he's a Real IDIOT!!!!! DON'T YOU AGREE
Trump is so weak right now, and Republicans are starting to realize it.
I hope that the protestors don't carry signage to the effect of liberals or democrats against trump. It needs to become Americans against trump.

I attended in Napa, California and the number of people attending is estimated to be 4000! It was great!
I live in a small town in New Jersey, and we had a great turnout, even more than last time. 💙💙💙
Have you seen the amount of people protesting in Michigan? Truly amazing.
