"Saturday’s national “No Kings” protests seem likely to be huge, and the Trump administration appears especially concerned and worried about the public backlash it’s facing this weekend. House Speaker Mike Johnson is railing against as them as a “hate America rally,” while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent bloviated this week, “No kings equals no paychecks,” a message so dumb, out-of-touch, and wrong that it almost sounds like a tweet from Chuck Schumer’s social media team. Even Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy got into the complaining-in-advance act, which for me only underscored that the inner circle of would-be King Donald’s administration is legitimately concerned about a real on-the-ground resistance movement. “The GOP’s desperation meter is at DEFCON 1,” Jill Lawrence wrote."

Just try not to shoot anyone again.
ReplyDeleteGood luck ... the rest of the world is depending on you.
ReplyDelete"“The GOP’s desperation meter is at DEFCON 1,” Lol. Yeah. Sure seems like it. <---that's sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteThe big question is if Trumplethinskin will use the protests as an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act. He's been itching for an excuse, and it won't take many planted agitators in the crowds - just like there were in the George Floyd protests - to give him one.
