There already was an “I Hate America” rally. It was on January 6th, 2021. The President spoke at it.

Biden didn't start the war. And Crimea has been occupied by Russia since 2014, so Trump already had four years to get Putin out of Ukraine in his first term.

A dictator and two wanna-be dictators will meet so the dictator can embarrass one of the wanna be dictators, while the other wanna be dictator blows smoke up their butts and begs for global attention.

Big bold ideas like term limits for Congress, anti-gerrymandering and voters protections, complete Supreme Court reform, and restrictions on Presidential power, and a new bill of rights.

Karoline Leavitt should resign.

They try to make us hate each other to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind.

It's sick.

Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Donald tried to make an example out of Portland & Portland replied with peaceful, joyful, naked protests that fully disarmed Donald's fascism. Portland showed us how to protest & we should carry that forward on Saturday. Well, maybe not the naked part.

New in PN: Scenes from Portland's imaginary insurrection

If funding the govt was actually important to Republicans, they could nuke the filibuster and pass this CR without Dems. Rs are in charge, and cannot blame Ds for any of this.

Voted absentee by #mail today! All those living abroad, don't forget the most important way to help our friends and family at home out of this nightmare is to #vote, even if its only local #elections!

We’re just days away from #NoKings Day and the world is about to roar.

Over 2,500 protests in all 50 states.

One message: we will not kneel to wannabe kings.

October 18 will be the largest day of peaceful defiance in American history, because when tyranny rises, courage catches fire.

So, openly admitting there is actually NO reason for Democrats to negotiate with Trump or the MAGA party because they won't keep there word on anything.

Some of what those "kids" said WAS inciting political violence. Suggesting killing people via the gas chamber if people did not vote a certain way is politically violent rhetoric. Vance calls the leaker a scumbag, but condones the "kids" who wrote the messages.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Like Napolean retrained the puppies to be his personal attack dogs when taking away the rights of the other animals in Animal Farm. It always comes back to Orwell.

Just because US citizens are disgusted with the current government leadership does not mean they hate the US; quite the opposite. People who love the US will protest to make it better, and Mr. Johnson seems to forget that protest IS the foundation of this republic.
