Below are some headlines we may have missed. Please feel free to share your finds or talk among yourselves. Sunday’s blog has always consisted of missed headlines and a free chat! Enjoy what’s left of the weekend.
Obviously, this Sunday’s blog will focus on yesterday’s numerous No Kings Day rallies that happened all across the world. Personally, MAGAts and other far right extremists have entertained me by twisting themselves into a Nazi flavored pretzel trying to make the protests into one, big nothingburger. Lordy, lordy, lordy, these people give a whole new meaning to the words, IGNORANT AF!
Remember, folks, our country was founded on dissent and we 86’d a king back then; we can do it again.
No Kings Day Events:
One of the biggest days of protest against the Trump administration’s policies happened on Saturday in cities around the U.S. The overriding theme of the marches was the accusation that President Trump is behaving more like a monarch than an elected official.
It marked the second massive wave of protests organized by No Kings — a network of progressive organizations fighting against Trump’s agenda.
Organizers said about 2,600 No Kings events were planned across nearly every state, and that it projected a bigger turnout than the 5 million it said attended its previous nationwide action in June.

KARL: You talked about anarchists, antifa advocates, the pro-Hamas wing. I mean, 'Hate America Rally' sounds like enemies. MIKE JOHNSON: Well, there were a lot of hateful messages yesterday. We have video & photos of pretty violent rhetoric calling out the president. I don't think it's pro-American

Mike Johnson: "We congratulate them on an apparently violent-free speech exercise … but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open right now … by the way, the Mall was open because President Trump hasn't closed it."

The Fascist Felon and His Brownshirts:
Trump: "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power."

Sure, Don:
Trump: "We're in Chicago now … Beautiful Black woman wearing MAGA caps all over the city. It's the most incredible thing. I love it."

Dumbfuck Doesn’t Remember the ‘Summer of Love,’ I Guess:
TRUMP: If I were a Democrat, I'd say, 'Come on it.' What do you have to lose? BARTIROMO: And you're going to San Francisco next TRUMP: We're gonna go to San Francisco. The difference is I think they want us in San Francisco. 15 year ago, it went woke.

Pudding Time!:
Trump: "It started with Obama. With Comey going up and giving me a briefing in 2015." (Trump in fact was elected president in 2016.)

Broken Clock Alert:
Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."
