What are the odds Trump uses this as his excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807?

We're looking at what could be one of the biggest protests in US history, if not the biggest. And let's be honest, there is no way Trump just sits back and lets it happen. He's already declared open season on Americans, exactly as Harris warned he would. This sort of pressure is precisely what he's been itching for, because it gives him the justification to escalate.

I've predicted that the US will have its own Tiananmen Square type massacre one day under the Trump administration.

I hope I'm wrong.  I really hope I'm wrong.

However, this could be the setting he's looking for.

There's no way he'll do nothing.

I just hope he doesn't kill anyone, but sadly I think there will be many murders carried out by Trump's goons at these protests.

I stand by my claim that he'll go down in history as one of the biggest monsters of the 21st century.

The GOP (Guardians Of Paedophiles) is already lying and stoking violence.

Republican leadership, including House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), called the protest "a hate America rally."

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said the National Guard will need to respond to protesters. "Hopefully it will be peaceful — I doubt it," he said. The White House did not answer whether Trump plans to deploy National Guard troops to any protest sites Saturday.

Johnson (is he on the Epstein client list?), in a Fox "News" appearance, said the protests were being put on by "the pro-Hamas wing and the Antifa people."

Trump may invoke Insurrection Act during No Kings protest.

NEW ANTHEM - You Know Who is Hating No Kings?

Mr. Newberger's AI Funnies

Lyrics:

It’s wake up time in America
Not time to be all nice
Our cities under siege by fake Nazis
Masked thugs dressed up as ICE
It’s shake up time in our government
All his toadies have got to go
He will try to suppress and then depress
but we won’t ever let him though
It’s time to shout out No Kings
And make your voices be heard
They overreached, on our rights to free speech
But freedom gets the last word

Freedom lovers  (step on up!)
Powerful people (step on up!)
Dictator haters (step on up!)
Brothers and sisters (step on up!)

You know who is hating No Kings?
The people who are kissing his rings.
You know who is hating No Kings?
The people who he's pulling their strings.
You know who is hating No Kings?
The ones hiding his dirty things.
You know who is hating No Kings?
The people fearing liberty’s sting.

It’s pay back time in the USA
Reset our Democracy
No more of the lame, seekers of fame
We’re reclaiming it from his crazy
Tear gas has drifted momentum shifted
It’s time to stop the invasion
The wealthiest were gifted, Dear leader grifted
No Kings is the new occasion
We already fought this war once before
No need to go backwards again
It’s time for the people to take back the steeple
And stop catering to just one man

You know who who is hating No Kings?
The people who are kissing his rings
You know who is hating No Kings?
The people who he's pulling their strings
You know who is hating No Kings?
The ones hiding his dirty things
You know who is hating No Kings?
The people fearing liberty’s sting

It’s springtime for Liberation
Gotta do all this together
The mad king thinks his poo don’t stink
And we the people are way more clever
Our Peaceful protests are us at our best
Flattens fascists any day
Don’t let his surrogates, and paid puppets
Go on cable to ruin your day
He’s got stupids we got a movement
And the midterms will be our stand
We need to step up, to stop a despot
Cause No King's ever ruling in our land

First amendment  (step on up!)
Habeas corpus (step on up!)
Due Process (step on up!)
Voting rights (step on up!)

You know who who is hating No Kings?
The people who are kissing his rings.
You know who is hating No Kings?
The people who he's pulling their strings.
You know who is hating No Kings?
The ones hiding his dirty things.
You know who is hating No Kings?
The people fearing liberty’s sting.

No Kings, America
No damn kings!

:)

You know who is hating No Kings?
The people who are kissing his rings.
You know who is hating No Kings?
The people who he's pulling their strings.
You know who is hating No Kings?
The ones hiding his dirty things.
You know who is hating No Kings?

And then, there's the old boy.

WITCH HUNT !!!

I'm going to the one in Denvoid. Not because it'll do any good. I mean, America is already solidly f**ked we are already under authoritarian rule and the abolitionism of our government and the Constitution no, I'm going there because all the FREE WEED!


I shill out for anybody, hold any god damn sign you want if there is free weed in the deal.

You've deliberately wedged yourself behind those MAGA-tinted glasses you bought along with the rest of your merch, because acknowledging what's directly in front of you would mean admitting you were duped by a cheap conman. Rather than confront that, you've chosen to redefine fascism so that it conveniently excludes Trump.

Republicans are actively suspending House sessions to block any debate on reopening the government, terrified that a vote might accidentally the additional signature needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.  That's not governance, that's a criminal protection racket at the cost of the American people.

ICE agents have been killing people, arresting American citizens on "suspicion" of foreignness, and zip-tying children because they don't manufacture restraints small enough for the toddlers they're hauling away.

The National Guard is patrolling civilian streets. Trump is commissioning a monument to himself like some budget North Korean knock-off.

These aren't subtle warning signs, they're klaxons, and you're not just ignoring them, you're sneering at anyone who notices.

And all week long Trump's administration has been obsessed with calling the No King Protest anti-American, full of Antifa Terrorists and even talked about firing missiles as a distraction from it.

Even the most reasonable centrist is worried that there will be embedded ICE agents, National Guard in with the protesters to cause unrest and ensure the protests are anything but peaceful.

But you're upset that people are talking about, but not with you, because you've chosen to be part of the problem not the solution?

Please...

Probably a smart move by the big fella.

Hopefully he has a lot of agent provocations as the left did on Jan 6 to amp it up.

Maybe a cop will have a heart attack 3 days later and some of the leftie loons can be charged with murder.

It's all gravy for the big fella.

The only way the left could hurt Trump is to start a business and make cash competing with him
Something they could never do  :D

You can see how scared they are, how they're paving the way on state media to justify their next move,

No, they can't.

Hours before Trump announced his 100% tariffs on China on October 10, someone placed a multi-million dollar short on Bitcoin. As soon as the announcement hit, Bitcoin tanked and the trader reportedly walked away with somewhere between $160 and $200 million.

That's textbook insider trading, and it's exactly the sort of grift the Trump crime syndicate has perfected to line its own pockets.

Without cheating or breaking the law, no one can compete with that.

And now that Trump’s openly turned the DOJ into his personal attack dog and is neck-deep in Lawfare against his enemies, no one else can even risk playing by his rules. It’s too dangerous to be as brazenly criminal as he is when he’s the one deciding who gets prosecuted, has immunity himself, and the Republicans' spines dissolved and were absorbed by their bodies long ago.

But spare me this fantasy you keep peddling that Trump's corruption somehow proves he's a good businessman, let alone a good President. He's blatantly monetising the Presidency while hiding behind claims of immunity, using it as a personal cash machine at the expense of the country, the citizens he's trampling over and the rights he's stripping away.

Calling that "success" isn't just delusional, it's pure cope from someone who can't admit they were conned and are now emotionally invested in their own exploitation.

You've basically displayed some of the main reasons the No Kings Protest is even happening.

Huge crowds have gathered to protest against President Donald Trump's policies in cities across the US - among them New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles.

The rally in New York City's iconic Times Square drew thousands of people not long after it began on Saturday morning.

The streets and subway entrances were densely packed with people holding up signs with slogans like, "Democracy not Monarchy" and "The Constitution is not optional".

Ahead of the demonstrations, Trump allies accused the protesters of being linked with the far-left Antifa movement, and condemned what they called "the hate America rally".

Organisers and protesters out on Saturday said the events were peaceful.

(Raw Story)

Trump admin plans to ‘incite violence all day’ at No Kings protests: Ex-GOP Rep

Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh issued a grave warning that the Trump administration is planning to “incite” violence during Saturday’s “No Kings” protests, which he said he expected to be the “largest peaceful protest in American history.”

“Trump and his people, they want violence, and they're going to try to incite it all day,” Walsh said Saturday, appearing on MSNBC’s morning show “The Weekend.” “Ain't gonna happen!”

There are around 2,700 No Kings protests expected to take place Saturday all across the country, and are a follow up to the previous No Kings protests held last summer, attended by as many as 6 million people, and sparked by opposition to President Donald Trump.

“We are going to see the largest – I mean the largest – peaceful protest in American history,” Walsh said. “People from all over the country coming together. We may disagree on a lot of issues, but everybody today is united in no kings; not here, not in America.”

The No Kings protests reportedly have Trump “really, really worried,” according to journalist Greg Sargent, a fear he argued was made evident by his party’s “coordinated” effort to smear the protesters as “terrorists.” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has labeled the impending demonstration as a “hate America rally,” and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) called it a “Soros paid-for protest,” referencing the billionaire philanthropist George Soros, a common “bogeyman” for the GOP.

Walsh, who left Congress in 2013 and has since gone on to become a talk radio host, told MSNBC that the GOP’s smearing of the No King protests was a clear sign of the Trump administration’s growing fear of dissent among Americans, and the optics that such a large protest would have.

“What my former party is scared to death of – and some have told me this privately – is mammoth peaceful protests,” Walsh said. “That's what scares the heck out of them. What they want is violence, what they want is division – they don't want millions and millions of Americans united in defending democracy.”

A Shakespearian tragedy: Trump could implement UN res 181, earning him a place in history, or be remembered as the President who destroyed democracy in the US.

Millions Gather To Express Total Ignorance About Political System

U.S. — Millions of Americans took to the streets today in order to express to the world their total and absolute ignorance about the political system they live in.

Several major cities including Boston, New York City and Chicago saw over one hundred thousand residents show up to proclaim their abject incomprehension of governance.

"The world needs to understand how incredibly little we know," said local man Roger McMahon, who had joined the march. "I really do not think the greater population appreciates how completely uneducated and illiterate we are when it comes to our own political system. That's why I'm here marching. We're going to join our voices together and let the message ring loud and clear that we are uneducated rubes in desperate need of a middle-school social studies class."

Rallygoers marched throughout the day on Saturday, chanting various slogans such as "Where do I live?" and "How does government work?"

"It's incredibly inspiring, seeing so many people walking arm in arm saying 'Hey, I don't know anything,'" said local woman Barbara Samson. "It feels incredible to be part of this movement of telling people that I'm a real dullard."

At publishing time, the rest of the world had politely told the rallygoers that the message had been received.

2. Didn't really care for black people; he just really enjoyed marching to get the exercise: He got so many steps in.

3. He had a dream about racial equality, but he also had a slightly less famous dream once that he was marrying a human-sized banana, but it couldn't talk, so when it was time to say ‘I do', the banana just kinda stood there silently, and all the guests were staring, and it was really embarrassing: And he was in his underwear.

4. He did not want to be assassinated: He was killed against his wishes.

5. While he didn't want people judged by race, he thought it was okay to judge people if they had funny ears: Those big-eared weirdos should have no place in society.

6. He had a secret drag persona named "Martin Luther Queen": You just never know what stuff people are into.

7. Dr. King invented the phrase "hubba hubba": Little-known fact.

8. He is considered a legendary dragon type and evolves into MLK Sr. when exposed to a moon stone: It's a rare, but amazing sight to see.

9. He loved and accepted all races, except those drunken, potato-licking Irish: Very understandable.

10. He was assassinated by the Vatican, who apparently got him mixed up with another Martin Luther: Also, there was something in there about Mossad and Israel, but we got bored and stopped reading.

Well, I got high.

America should definitely do more of these.

There are a lot of rapists, criminals, white supremacists, groomers of 10-year-old girls, creeps who want to have sex with their own daughters and neo-Nazis in the US.

Nobody is denying that fact for a second.

If you are a racist, you found your guy. If you are a misogynist, you found your guy. If all you care about is money, you found your guy. If you have an emotionally armored heart, you found your guy. If you make fun of disabled people, you found your guy. If you hate intelligent people, you found your guy. If you are a rapist, you found your guy. If you like golden showers with Russian sex-workers, you found your guy. If you have not done a stitch of work on your emotional issues, you found your guy. If you are a serial cheater, you found your guy. If you are a perpetual bankrupt, you found your guy. If you don’t pay people for their honest work, you found your guy.

If you are a hustler and a conman, you found your guy. If you mock people’s physical appearances, you found your guy. If you long for a toxic Daddy, you found your guy. If you are dissociated and disembodied, you found your guy. If you are unconscionable in all your economic dealings, you found your guy. If you lie day and night, you found your guy. If you have never eaten green vegetables, you found your guy. If you are a white supremacist, you found your guy. If you have a hole in your ego so big that not even the presidency could fill it, you found your guy. If you are a sociopath, and care not one iota about other humans, you found your guy.

What are the odds Trump uses this as his excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807? We're looking at what could be one of the biggest protests in US history, if not the biggest. And let's be honest, there is no way Trump just sits back and lets it happen. He's already declared open season on Americans, exactly as Harris warned he would. This sort of pressure is precisely what he's been itching for, because it gives him the justification to escalate.

Indeed.

Biden and Trump have both accomplished a lot.

I know, right? When we told you DL would turn America into an authoritarian fascist state, you said ooh noo, never ever, how very dare yoooou.

Today, right on cue, there he is sending US troops to invade US cities, blowing up foreign fishing boats, arresting the tinted races for turning up for their immigration hearings and threatening to ban erections altogether.

You stupid, Paki fool, America has guardrails, you said. A prez just can't invade states or arrest people for being tinted. The US has courts, a legislature, a separation of powers. How can he possibly ban erections? They're in the Constitution, you despicable Paki Bastard.

Is that so? We said. So you tell me this: what will you say when he cancels erections? We even gave you a multiple choice, do you recall?

a) Say how very dare he, abandon DL for good and say what a fool you've been.

b) Say look, it's a little bit complicated, the constitutional experts are undecided, we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Aparently about 7 Million turned up.

Thousands protest in dozens of Colorado "No Kings" rallies;

12 arrests made in Denver, police say


By Austen Erblat, Jasmine Arenas, Michael Abeyta

Updated on: October 19, 2025 / 11:35 AM MDT / CBS Colorado

Another round of "No Kings" protests took place around the country on Saturday to protest the Trump Administration, and Colorado saw rallies in dozens of locations, from downtown Denver and the broader Denver metro area to northern and southern parts of the state, throughout the mountains, and in some less densely populated communities across the Eastern Plains.

The last time "No Kings" rallies were held on June 14 -- which coincided with President Trump's birthday and the anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army -- thousands of people came to the State Capitol in Denver, and countless more attended similar rallies across the state. Most were peaceful, although a few small clashes broke out between protesters and police in Denver, leading to multiple arrests.

Yes.

Release the Epstein files (right side of the picture).

I wonder how many more MAGA idiots are now having 'buyers regret' about voting for Trump?

Lots and lots I would imagine.

I can just hear the howls of "But... but... we didn't vote for this".

Yes, yes they did. They were warned about what would happen if Trump was elected President again.

Pretty much spot on. It was one of the largest protests in modern US history. The official verification isn't in yet, so no one is formally declaring it the biggest, but it's clearly the frontrunner.

It utterly dwarfed the estimated 1,200 who actually forced their way into the Capitol on January 6.

Trump publicly labelled Americans who didn't vote for him as "the enemy within", that isn't up for debate, it's documented.

Harris warned this is exactly where things were heading, and she was right.

And now we've got reports that agitators were embedded in the crowd attempting to provoke violence, but failed, so that checks out too.

So no, the warnings weren't hysteria. They were accurate predictions, and every one of them has landed.

But I suspect you already know that, given you immediately defaulted to insults without a shred of provocation.

Rough time to be an insecure Trump supporter. You holding up alright?

The farmers are the perfect example.

Trump wrecked them with his tariffs, twice. First time around, he slapped tariffs on China, China retaliated, US farmers copped it in the teeth, and Trump had to bail them out with tens of billions in subsidies just to stop them collapsing in his first term.

Then he did it again. Same tariffs, same retaliation. Meanwhile, Argentina gets a billion-dollar bailout from the US, removes taxes on its Soybean exports, then swoops in and signs fresh agriculture deals with China, taking over the market the US lost.

It is indistinguishable from the actions one would take if they were trying to destroy local agraculture deliberately.

Who could've seen that coming?

Every single farmer who lived through it the first time. They knew exactly what would happen, because it had already.

And yet, they still voted for him.

So yes, they voted for this. They just assumed the pain would land on someone else. They thought other people, brown people, black people, LGBTQ+ people, would suffer under Trump's policies, not them.

But now that it's their turn to bleed, suddenly it's "not what they voted for".

Except it is. Precisely.

So no, I've got no sympathy left to hand out. They ordered this meal. Now they can eat it.

May they have the exact day they voted for.

It's hard to have sympathy for people like this:

"I voted for Trump because I thought it would be funny to see liberals growl like dogs".

From the comments:

"How irresponsible do you have to be to vote for a criminal because you thought it would be funny to watch people suffer??"

Whitlam changed the role and office of prime minister, seeing it as a place of executive agency and initiative. Power and authority ­became more centralised in the PM’s orbit, ­accelerating a growing trend. Whitlam was so foremost that it often seemed like he was the government. It prompted journalist Laurie Oakes to ask: “What would happen to the Government if you fell under a bus tomorrow?”

He replied: “With the improvements my government has initiated in urban transport, that is unlikely to happen.”

SUCCESS: After Weekend Of 'No Kings' Protests, America Will Now Still Not Have Any Kings


"We did it!" cried rally organizer Jennie Richardson. "No one seized the throne and became king over the weekend. All of our marching and chanting has paid off. It just shows the power of the people that we made it to the end of the weekend and didn't become a monarchy."

America reportedly began the weekend as a democratic republic, and due to a lot of people walking around with posters, will end the weekend as a democratic republic. "No, the government did not collapse over the weekend and get replaced by a self-proclaimed king," said American historian Marshall Timpton. "After a weekend of ‘No Kings' protests, there are still no monarchs. It's a massive success."

At publishing time, leftists had also declared their "No Rule By Alien Overlords" protests to be a roaring success.

SUCCESS: After Weekend Of 'No Kings' Protests, America Will Now Still Not Have Any Kings "We did it!" cried rally organizer Jennie Richardson. "No one seized the throne and became king over the weekend. All of our marching and chanting has paid off. It just shows the power of the people that we made it to the end of the weekend and didn't become a monarchy." America reportedly began the weekend as a democratic republic, and due to a lot of people walking around with posters, will end the weekend as a democratic republic. "No, the government did not collapse over the weekend and get replaced by a self-proclaimed king," said American historian Marshall Timpton. "After a weekend of ‘No Kings' protests, there are still no monarchs. It's a massive success." At publishing time, leftists had also declared their "No Rule By Alien Overlords" protests to be a roaring success.

“King Trump - I Like The Sound Of That,” Says Trump After Hearing About 'No Kings' Protest

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Trump stated that he actually kind of liked the ring of "King Trump" after hearing the term for the first time at Saturday's "No Kings" protest.

Though he had not previously considered declaring himself the ruling monarch of America, Trump stated that the protest had gotten him mulling the idea.

"I have to admit, I like what they're saying out there, King Trump. It sounds nice, doesn't it?" said Trump. "It really rolls off the tongue, King Trump. Then I could have a real crown, not like the tiny crown that TIME magazine put on me in that cover they did. There must be a million people out there yelling about King Trump. It's so nice to hear, I'm already their favorite President, now I could be their favorite King. It's a beautiful idea these people have given me, really terrific."

President Trump quickly gathered his aides to announce his decision to transition America into a dynastic monarchy. "I also want to commission a great monument to these people rallying today, the people who gave me the idea," said Trump. "I want them to know that without their chants of 'King Trump', I never would have done this. They should be congratulated, really terrific people who helped make this happen."

At publishing time, protesters had reportedly canceled next week's "No Emperors" rally.

Lots and lots I would imagine. I can just hear the howls of "But... but... we didn't vote for this". Yes, yes they did. They were warned about what would happen if Trump was elected President again. The farmers are the perfect example. Trump wrecked them with his tariffs, twice. First time around, he slapped tariffs on China, China retaliated, US farmers copped it in the teeth, and Trump had to bail them out with tens of billions in subsidies just to stop them collapsing in his first term. Then he did it again. Same tariffs, same retaliation. Meanwhile, Argentina gets a billion-dollar bailout from the US, removes taxes on its Soybean exports, then swoops in and signs fresh agriculture deals with China, taking over the market the US lost. It is indistinguishable from the actions one would take if they were trying to destroy local agraculture deliberately. Who could've seen that coming? Every single farmer who lived through it the first time. They knew exactly what would happen, because it had already. And yet, they still voted for him. So yes, they voted for this. They just assumed the pain would land on someone else. They thought other people, brown people, black people, LGBTQ+ people, would suffer under Trump's policies, not them. But now that it's their turn to bleed, suddenly it's "not what they voted for". Except it is. Precisely. So no, I've got no sympathy left to hand out. They ordered this meal. Now they can eat it. May they have the exact day they voted for. It's hard to have sympathy for people like this: "I voted for Trump because I thought it would be funny to see liberals growl like dogs". From the comments: "How irresponsible do you have to be to vote for a criminal because you thought it would be funny to watch people suffer??" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFqYKO9oc44

Here's a bit of help for you. Two possibilites come to mind:

1. He posted it but deleted it later.

When we told you DL would turn America into an authoritarian fascist state, you said ooh noo, never ever, how very dare yoooou. Today, right on cue, there he is sending US troops to invade US cities, blowing up foreign fishing boats, arresting the tinted races for turning up for their immigration hearings and threatening to ban erections altogether. You stupid, Paki fool, America has guardrails, you said. A prez just can't invade states or arrest people for being tinted. The US has courts, a legislature, a separation of powers. How can he possibly ban erections? They're in the Constitution, you despicable Paki Bastard. Is that so? We said. So you tell me this: what will you say when he cancels erections? We even gave you a multiple choice, do you recall? a) Say how very dare he, abandon DL for good and say what a fool you've been. b) Say look, it's a little bit complicated, the constitutional experts are undecided, we'll have to wait and see what happens. c) Jump for joy and demand we install a dictator and cancel them here too. You refused to say. When we pressed, you said you said you disagwee with the very pwemise. SO UNFAIR !!! You do sound like a maniac and a moron. Nobody is arrested for being tinted,  No state is invaded, no election is banned. Do you have any other moronic, manual questions? Of course you do. You are overflowing with moronic, grimacing mania.

Oh, no?

DL's favourite Nazi Stephen Miller met with ICE officials and gave the order himself, dear. He's hardly targeting European visa overstayers, now is he?

You hacks can't find me 3000 beaners a day? He said. Rock up to any Home Depot in the country. Demand papers.
Arrest on sight.

Now get outta here, he said, trying to sound like DL on the Apprentice. He fired two officials who tried to ask a question.

No US state is being invaded? Come come. US troops from Texas, North Carolina and other states were first sent in to occupy the streets of LA. There, they stood around looking butch while the LAPD carried on the work of policing the streets. Your DL followed up this act by invading Chicago and, any day now, Portland.

Courts have ruled all his invasions illegal, forcing your DL to appeal to his friends in SCOTUS. His occupation of Washington DC is not technically an invasion as it's a federal territory, but troops there are equally useless. They have no power to make arrests, investigate crime, indict anybody or issue court attendance notices. If they even raise a hand to prevent someone from commiting a crime, they face criminal and/or civil action.

Now, no election has yet been banned as every schoolboy knows. So I do indeed have another question, and here it is.

If your DL gives the order to suspend elections or stay in power for a third term, will you support it?

To date, you've supported the illegal invasion of US cities, having masked guards round up the tinted races and even send legal ones to maximum security  prisons in El Salvador, without charge, and presumably for life. We've discussed all this, so we know.

I think we can all predict your answer, dear boy, but I do think we should give you the opportunity to speak for yourself, don't you?

Say it.

The sad part about the protests is Trump DOES have a point about crime in the US.

But like the Dems, he doesn't have a clue how to address the causes of crime; in a well-functioning economy which delivers the essentials for all, people would not resort to crime as a lifestyle. 

So we see the world's richest man - formerly DOGE director -  taking food stamps from the poor in the US, because he thinks the government must 'balance its budget'.

Displaying hopeless ignorance of the real choices available to (national) fiat currency-issuing governments.

Soros foundations helping fund anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests nationwide

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was the first to sound the alarm on ties between Soros and the "No Kings" protest during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday, saying "There's considerable evidence that George Soros and his network are behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots all across the country."

Cruz introduced the Financial Underwriting of Nefarious Demonstrations and Extremist Riots (STOP FUNDERs) Act in July that would allow for the Department of Justice to impose Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges against individuals behind the funding of "violent" and "extreme" protests.

"This politicized march is being organized by Soros operatives and funded by Soros money. No one denies these basic facts," Cruz told Fox News Digital. "The Trump administration and the Republican Congress are committed to countering this network of left-wing violence."

Per the Indivisible website, "On October 18, millions of us are rising again" to protest in an effort to paint President Donald Trump as a tyrant and an authoritarian king.

Oh? Is that so?

Is that why Obama, a constitutional scholar from Harvard, kept telling them how presidents were constitutionally constrained from being kings?

This was, after all,  the very reason he was erected. GW started all those endless wars you supported and the Real Americans voted for hope in their system of governance.

Right on cue, Republicans in Congress stopped nearly every action Obama took as prez. Legislation, Supreme Court nominations, the lot.

But that was then. Today, you support an American king and even more endless wars.

Oh well, you can't say Obama didn't try, no?

He's right, Marla. We have Medicare for all, a social safety net, independently decided electoral districts, publicly funded elections and, for the most part, representative government.

A felon like your DL wouldn't even be eligible to run in our jolly country.

So sure, it's about time your Dems started aiming for what the rest of the developed world takes for granted. They've got an uphill battle on their hands with the Retards, as Hillary and Obama found out, but at least it's worth going down fighting.

What are the odds Trump uses this as his excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807? We're looking at what could be one of the biggest protests in US history, if not the biggest. And let's be honest, there is no way Trump just sits back and lets it happen. He's already declared open season on Americans, exactly as Harris warned he would. This sort of pressure is precisely what he's been itching for, because it gives him the justification to escalate.

Kings and Queens are Masters of Ceremony (entertainment) aka Pomp & Pageantry. Emperor's and Empress's are Military (Empire).
Just ask any Court Jester.

So just how retarded are these No Kings protests by Lefties?
Well as retarded as Australian Republicans (mostly pushed by pro Media celebrities here) wanting a 'political' change because of the United Kingdom's Monarchy, rather than because of Great Britain's Politics.

Why should Americans work 2 jobs to pay for fat Europeans security  who want to work a 30 hour week ?

That's a tough one, dear. Why did Aquascoot support the Americans backing the "noble Israelis" in their Six Day war, the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur war?

Those disagreements led to the oil shocks of the 1970s, two recessions and the loss of America's gold standard - all that gold they seized in WWII and used to pay for another war Aquascoot supported, the invasion of Nam and the bombing of Cambodia.

The invasion of Iraq? You supported that one too. Not only did it fail to secure the Middle East as planned, it facilitated the rise of ISIS, raised global terrorism and tanked the US budget. This left nothing in the coffers for when the global financial crisis inevitably hit and America was forced to bail out its banks to stave off total economic collapse.

And why does Aquascoot support the Americans propping up the "noble Bibi" to conduct a genocide in Gaza, drone attacks on civilians in Lebanon and Syria and the bunker-bombing of Iran?

Not only has your DL facilitated Israel's weapons shipments and funding in full, he ordered Congress to increase the military budget. To help make a few savings, he had his team write a big, beautiful bill that cuts Medicaid and food assistance for all those Americans forced to work two jobs to get by.

It's most peculiar. For all your Dorothy Dixers about fat Europeans, you supported every one of those wars and interventions. The Europeans?

Not so much. While they scrambled to vote them down in the UN, the Americans used their veto power on the Security Council, but do you know?

Historically, Americans have done okay out of the deal. Global trade, you see, is paid in US dollars, not Euros. This gives the Americans the ability to sell US bonds to other countries to pay for all of its wars, including Israel's. In return for having to work two jobs, Americans are able to get cheap loans, based on America's high credit rating: the quid pro quo America has with its citizen-consumers.

Having a powerful currency allows the Americans to import cheaper goods. So, in return for playing global cop, Americans get cheaper oil, cheaper loans and cheaper stuff than anybody else in the world, based on the post-war agreement with Europe to trade in US dollars.

If the American economy enters a downturn, its leaders look for endless wars to stimulate the economy. War creates jobs. Representatives from both parties have weapons factories in their districts, and manufacturers are largely secular when it comes to political donations. The 2000 recession led to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the recession in the 90s to the first Gulf War, and I guarantee you your DL will find his own endless war to start when the economic going gets tough.

Pete refuses to say whether he's got invasion plans for Iran, Venezuela, Panama or Greenland, but who can say? Maybe DL will pick Canada or Mexico, his number one trade enemies. He renegotiated their free trade agreement himself, so who knows?

Back in the good old days, you used to lecture us on worshipping the Fridge, free trade and America Inc. The "Superior Man" bounces out of bed with a five year plan, you said. Fixed, unwavering, steady in his resolve - like an Israeli tank commander slicing through the Sinai Desert, etc, etc, etc.

Then, all of a sudden, you changed you mind. The Superior Man suddenly became unsteady, wavering and all over the shop. No more endless wars, you said - apart from the ones DL starts. No more free trade - apart from the trade DL does in Trumpcoin. No more American-led NATO and USAID, the stick and carrot America has used to stay number one since WWII.

Today, you want the bulk of American revenue put into tax cuts for American billionaires. They can use their savings to buy million dollar dinners with DL, the cost of doing business. If they play nice, DL promises to approve their mergers, sling them a nice government contract or pardon them if they get into any hot water.

Free trade? Bad. Corruption? Good. Endless wars? It depends...

You think it's a smart move. A real "win/win", no?

Just killing it.

Xi is actually fighting corruption, but his real enemy is Neoclassical economic othodoxy; the collapse in the Chinese property market and high unemployment - all products of obsolete economic orthodoxy - encourage corruption, money-laundering and other crime, as is the case everywhere in the world.      America's DL said that. Turns out he was lining his pockets the whole time. The economy's following suit, as you'd expect. Confucius say fish rots from the head, no? So, do you think China's DL is succeeding?

Xi is making headway with fighting the corrosive effects of corruption, but not  saving the Chinese people from the catastrophes caused by mainstream economics.

Re "rotting" economies: China actually benefitted from WTO mainstream Neoclassical free trade rules, but the US didn't, so now Trump has slapped tariffs on the whole world; China hasn't yet worked out how to deal with the new reality as Trump is determined to  maintain US global hegemony - WTO free trade rules be damned.   

I think you need to stop focusing on the faults (whether real or perceived) of both Trump and Xi, and understand the errors in your own beliefs re the current economic orthodoxy. 

To help disabuse you of your erroneous beliefs re money creation - beliefs which are the ultimate cause of the current crises of democracy around the world -
here is an easy to follow summary:   

1. Money is created out of thin air.

2. A currency-issuer doesn't need to earn or borrow money;
you could prove it yourself.....but don't get caught.....

3. Therefore a legal currency-ISSUING government doesn't NEED
to tax or borrow from the private sector, or balance a budget (like you and I
must do - we are USERS of the currency); rather it needs to limit spending to what is available for purchase, to avoid inflation and devaluing the currency. 

4. It's time for currency-issuing governments to assume control of the privilege of money creation from the private banks.

Over to you.... I see you persisting with slugging it out re the economy with the other equally indoctrinated  posters on this board.

Next 'No Kings' Protest To End By 4 P.M. So Everyone Can Get Home In Time For 'Matlock'

https://media.babylonbee.com/articles/68f923c439d9568f923c439d96.jpg


The "No Kings" movement, which is primarily comprised of elderly caucasian men and women, is reportedly focused on resisting what they perceive as increasingly authoritarian moves by President Donald Trump at any cost — well, any cost but Matlock.

"I want to watch Matlock!" said Andy Wilson, a boomer. "What's the point of saving American democracy if we lose Matlock?"

Matlock, currently in its 30th year of syndication, is about a defense lawyer with a folksy old-world charm who doesn't just defend his client -- he finds the real killer. Played by Andy Griffith, the character of Ben Matlock is a down-to-earth attorney rooted in traditional values, unlike the protestors who like his show.

"He charges a $100,000 retainer but he's worth it," Lillian Gates, president of the Official Matlock Fan Club, said. "He once tried a case where the judge turned out to be the real killer. That's the very definition of must-see TV!"

An elderly woman, clad in a shirt proclaiming "I'm Here To Kill Trump And Watch Matlock... And I'm All Out Of Matlock," said, "Donald Trump is an existential threat to our very existence as a nation and we must do whatever we can to stop him, but not if Matlock is on."

"No king but Matlock!" she added.

You make that sound like a bad thing, dear. In our country, banks create money. They check out your income and savings, create money on their computer and sell you a loan.

You then go and invest in something nice, like a house. You pay the bank back, and in 20 years or so, the money's finally real, with extra cash for interest.

We have an independent Reserve Bank that handles all the money creation. One of its jobs is to create money on their computer to pay all the government's wonderful employees and programs. In turn, they use the cash to pay off their loans to the bank, and there you have it, the economy in action - a vast spiral of activity, promises to pay, and time.

The march of compound interest, as Walt Rostow called it. It's how our economy works, interest adding to economic growth and more money, always on the up and up. Once economies get into the swing of this, there's no going back - until you get a financial crisis, but by then, you should have the savings to weather it out.

To keep the whole thing going, you need an ever-increasing population, so we import people. Those people get in on the loan thing, the banks create more money to buy houses, and Australia stays afloat through the price of real estate.

Now, far be it from I to lecture the Chinese on population, but you need to get the fundamentals right. If you people can't get the same trick happening in your country, don't blame us. You can't trust the government and their friends in big business to plan everything. They're hopeless.

In Australia, you need to convince people first. You do this by creating desire. People have to want to buy in. You create desire by finding sneaky ways to get them to want things.

Back in my day, the real estate part of the newspaper was always the biggest. The old print stalwart, Domain, was once a form of property porn. It's now online, of course, and it's equally pornographic. Nearly every home auction I've been to had a journalist lurking around. When I bought my house, they put the story on Domain, can you believe it? Guy buys house. It was a boring story, so they sugared it up with how it was the best time to buy property.

Real estate ads were the print media's "rivers of gold". They were when the colony was first established, and still are today. The allegory of gold refers to the gold rush days, Australia's first population boom. Back then, anybody who wanted to come to Australia could - until the British racists kicked out the Chinese and established the White Australia Policy, but that's all by the by. Today, racists like that only exist online, so it's all good.

So, banks don't just create money out of thin air, dear, there's a bit of an art to it.

Even if that's yet another example of the terminal brainrot you've suffered, given it's another Babylon Bee post, no less, even the elderly are now protesting Trump!

Is there any demographic outside the proudly uneducated still clinging to him?

He's lost the farmers and ranchers, the working class and the manufacturing base, small business owners, and now even the moderate Christians are bleeding away.

All that remains are the bitter dregs, those who still idolise the tiny man with the tiny moustache, people like Frank.

An intelligent comment at last (unlike the rest of the slug fest on this board).

Correct: in fact we can say the sovereign government  ie, the nation's legal currency-issuer, 'delegates'  money creation powers to the private banks.

Therein lies the problem:  governments need  'taxpayer money' to fund public services.  See points #3 and #4 above.


Quote:

A vague statement: the borrower must pay the interest on the bank loan - which is certainly not "extra cash" for the borrower. 

I will consider the rest of your post in the MMT thread later today, you have addressed many important issues from the viewpoint of mainstream economic orthodoxy  - which as I say is the cause of the many crises of democracy (and indeed in China also) manifesting around the world.

Once economies get into the swing of this, there's no going back - until you get a financial crisis, but by then, you should have the savings to weather it out. To keep the whole thing going, you need an ever-increasing population, so we import people. Those people get in on the loan thing, the banks create more money to buy houses, and Australia stays afloat through the price of real estate. Now, far be it from I to lecture the Chinese on population, but you need to get the fundamentals right. If you people can't get the same trick happening in your country, don't blame us. You can't trust the government and their friends in big business to plan everything. They're hopeless. In Australia, you need to convince people first. You do this by creating desire. People have to want to buy in. You create desire by finding sneaky ways to get them to want things. Back in my day, the real estate part of the newspaper was always the biggest. The old print stalwart, Domain, was once a form of property porn. It's now online, of course, and it's equally pornographic. Nearly every home auction I've been to had a journalist lurking around. When I bought my house, they put the story on Domain, can you believe it? Guy buys house. It was a boring story, so they sugared it up with how it was the best time to buy property. Real estate ads were the print media's "rivers of gold". They were when the colony was first established, and still are today. The allegory of gold refers to the gold rush days, Australia's first population boom. Back then, anybody who wanted to come to Australia could - until the British racists kicked out the Chinese and established the White Australia Policy, but that's all by the by. Today, racists like that only exist online, so it's all good. So, banks don't just create money out of thin air, dear, there's a bit of an art to it.

That's nice, Great, but you can't expect to have one solution (or one problem) for everything.

Things are complicated. Comrade Mao tried a cultural revolution, remember? In a decade's time, everybody would be capitalist roaders again.

Beware of universal solutions. Before any progress, one must destroy the imperialist within, no?

I hit the wrong key, my reply disappeared - I'll try again Saturday.

Meantime if you want to debate my reply to your previous  fullsome post re money creation, it can be found here:

Ah so.

So protesting no kings is really a validation that Trump is King.
