I’m 70, semi-retired and looking for a job because I can’t survive on Social Security alone. If Kamala Harris were president, I think my job prospects would be pretty good. Not with Trump.

I have been joining the protests all year and will be on the National Mall this Saturday, with bells on.

Considering that Stephen Miller, aka Pee Wee German, is now the unofficial POTUS, it’s not surprising that the Young Republicans thought they could get away with this vile nonsense:

Among the things that Mike Johnson doesn’t consider serious you may include:

Pedophilia
Domestic abuse
Money laundering
Bribery
Abuse of force, ie. shooting priests in the head with pepper balls

Peaceful protests, however, he considers to be domestic terrorism.

I see people wearing swim trunks in that clip but I guess what is disturbing about it to Trump’s little Johnson is that ICE can’t pretend that they are armed, since they aren’t wearing clothes.

Why would the offer bounties on incompetent goons?

ICE agents are absolutely no threat to actual criminals; only to innocent people who just want to work and live their lives without bothering anyone else.

ICE are too cowardly and incompetent to go after actual criminals.

Rachel Maddow is undeniably a great journalist who has broken many important stories, and, if anyone deserves this award, it’s her. Congratulations to an amazing woman.

I have a crush on Ted Danson, who is more in my age range. Never thought he was attractive until his hair turned white.

They are all losers who can’t compete in a diverse society, are too cowardly to face themselves in the mirror, and too lazy to try to better themselves through hard work. And to physically unfit to join the military.

A place where he can only eat healthy food, especially green vegetables, there are no mirrors or pictures of him, and no one ever says his name.

He can watch movies, but only those starring Robert De Niro.

He’s never satisfied. You can’t please a narcissist.

They are worried that Saturday will be the biggest peaceful protest in American history, and are also trying to establish the basis for declaring martial law.

FilmAlicia @filmalicia.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, he did. Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham are spinning in their graves.

At least John Banner was funny. Trump’s little Johnson isn’t in the least amusing.

one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.
