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.

You are talking only to each other again, deranged mongs.

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...

I'm posting about what is happening, so of course you're dismissing it, claiming it's emotional derangement.

You just reject reality left and right and you admitted to it, again.

Do better.

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.

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.

(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.
