I wonder, after today's NO KINGS protest, if you could write about how many on the right think the idea of Trump being king is a great idea, and maybe how right-wing pundits seek to delegitimize the passion of the protests because of how many older Americans participated.
The left isn't the problem.

That's not what happened though.
Hard to imagine any of the early songs becoming iconic without Garfunkel's leads & harmonies, BOTW, esp.

I was a 15 y.o. girl and I LOVED Garfunkel's remake - bought the album.

I love our allies in countries with monarchies. Whatever branding changes they make, we share a common goal for the US.
Friends are a BEAUTIFUL thing.

She doesn't decide these things. She make think spontaneity is req'd, but honestly, who cares what she thinks?
The reason people choose to gather determines whether they are protesting. Saturday, people are coming together to show solidarity in OPPOSING the abuses & corruption of the Trump admin.

OH, wow. So you're the person who defines things? Huh.

"This is a “feel good about yourself” event, not a protest."
Well, your definition on this is complete BS, so YOU'RE FIRED.

Saturday's PROTESTS are a show of solidarity in opposition to the current GOP administration.

Bye, Karen.

Elected Republicans are wildly out of touch with reality.

OMG, or maybe they're just LIARS!

Vance referred to adult men as "young boys" in his efforts to excuse their vileness.
He's an embarrassment

The only saving grace of my mother's death in 2023 is that she isn't here to express her opinion about the current political climate. She loathed Trump & in the lucid moments as dementia took over, she could get damn salty. I can't imagine how bad it would have gotten.

Did she say anything about skipping trials? Or that all Republicans deserve it? I mean, she had particular people/crimes in mind, correct?
The president of the US is basically trying to sell the lie that anyone who protests on Saturday is a terrorist & he's ordering murders on int'l waters & more..

Does today's right-wing want to drop the age of consent, the age to be prosecuted as an adult, and minimum age to get married, but 18-40 y.o.s are "a bunch of kids?"

My fellow senior women, the ones who've accepted gray & white hair gracefully, should break out the blue Fanci-full color rinse for Saturday
