Funny thing: None of Trump's sycophants will say the name "No Kings" because they know how apropos it is.

I'll bet there are currently discussions in some blue cities and states about forming specialized units to monitor and investigate violations of state law by the Feds. It would look kind of like a local agency's internal affairs unit.

The state authorities lean to supporting MAGA. (I know. I'm a retired LEO). Any such investigations will probably only occur in the most extreme cases and only if initiated from the very top of the local government.

That is objectively unlawful conduct in every state. Just the actions of the driver of the van constitute a clear felony violation of assault with a deadly weapon or force likely to produce great bodily injury.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

It's going to cause some fist fights as well.

Welp...The only aggressive behavior in all of those videos is from ISP.

Still waiting for my check. That Soros guy may have good intentions, but he does NOT pay his bills.

Gary Gifford @garygifford.bsky.social · 1d

Ha ha ha! WRONG! I'm STILL waiting for my Soros check from the last No Kings protest. George Soros does not pay his bills!

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
