They wouldn't have to be so upset and scared if their cult leader wasn't so insane and overextending his power. There are over 2500 public demonstrations planned for today to show that Americans don't support Trump's overreach of executive powers, the ICE raids, the use of the National Guard in cities, etc. Republicans are scared and are trying to reframe the demonstrations as "hate America". Um no. They are showing up because they love America and are sickened at what Trump and his stooges are trying to do. Trump wants to be an autocrat and we cannot allow that to happen. There are reports that losers Proud Boys and Trump supporting incels will show up to events and attack police to make them look violent. I saw a meme that said "if you are there and see violence SIT DOWN". Make it clear who is being violent. Trump wants to use the Insurrection Act but he can't if it is just his people being idiots. I certainly will be watching the news today.

AP his approval rating is 37 percent 61 percent disapprove and I hate polls myself, but thats devastating, but it does not matter in his world because he can thug. I just hope people willing to go the whole way because these no kings does nothing if you coward out. He is going to send the military, the ice, he is going to send everything he as at you, that the price of freedom. Not today, he could just be gathering info, are you ready for that? Be prepared because there is not many looking out for constitution or you and even if they do, Trumps thugs get to over ride it. Be careful and be smart and learn to fight another day if need be.

This sounds like it would be a good day to stay home and hopefully out of harm's way.

Can those in the inflatable costumes actually sit down? Maybe fall down? What would happen if the members of the National Guard sat down, too?

It seems that Trump is doing worse things as time goes by.
