“Brown liquid.” Really? Anyone can see that it’s excrement if you can’t say he’s shitting on protesting Americans. This from the media org that couldn’t bring itself to call Trump’s lies lies…facilitating his success by soft-pedaling the reality.

President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

Look, the Times was obviously unable to confirm at time of publication what the brown liquid that looked like diarrhea and that appeared to have been dumped from an AI-generated jet fighter by the president of United was intended to represent in his mind.

Perhaps it was mole sauce, as a belated acknowledgement of Hispanic heritage month. I suppose we'll never know.

I spoke to a man who said his relatives fought against the fascists in WWIi and this is now our turn. He was dressed in a dinosaur costume & sang for me Barney’s theme song about love and family.

So where are we at the morning after? Well, because Trump/Republicans/MAGA didn’t get ANY of the violence on the streets that they so DESPERATELY hoped for & encouraged, they’re now attacking #NoKings as just a bunch of old white people. Smh. This won’t work either.👇

So proud of everyone! The NYPD confirmed that rallies across the city have ended with no arrests. It’s getting harder and harder for Trump to sell his propaganda.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.

Here at our local No Kings.

I’d say turnout is perhaps 4X that of June.

Sorry to inform Mike Johnson, I haven’t run into anyone paid to be here, or “antifa,” or anti-American. Many veterans. Lots of attendees thanking the pair of Fairfax Country policeman strolling around keeping an eye on things.

I do as well.

A tweet from Alex Cole says: “My favorite No Kings protest sign.” The attached photo shows a protest crowd in front of a city building. One protester holds a large handmade sign in red and blue letters that reads: “NOT A PAID PROTESTER — I HATE TRUMP FOR FREE.” Other smaller protest signs and American flags are visible around them.
