squistion

Your so-called "sarcasm" is being repeated hundreds of time on social media by critics of the No Kings marches who don't seem to grasp what the purpose of the rallies were and it appears you don't either.

:sigh: AI Overview: No, the recent "No Kings" protests were not literally against a king. Instead, the name was used as a symbolic rejection of what protesters viewed as authoritarian tendencies and abuses of power by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. The name is a nod to the American Revolution and the founding principle that the U.S. government was created to be of the people, not ruled by a monarch.

The 100k tops number is absurd, are we supposed to believe that or our lying eyes.

Yeah, there was so much violence, death and destruction at the 2700+ No Kings rallies, it was hard to keep up with it all.

The organizers of any event always tend to overestimate the crowd size. That said, it was not 100,000 worldwide, which is the figure that is thrown around here by those who labeled it a "Hate America" rally.

That figures.

Since when have the MAGA folks cared about context?

This is where we are that in this country with this POTUS.

It's all a lie. He refers you to twitch where only he is seeing this in some fantasy world. Said the same thing before but twitch was his only source. And he wonders why no one takes him seriously.

Not on the planet I am living on.

Since Antifa doesn't exist as an organization, good luck in reporting members if they do set up a hotline.

The majority of protesters at the No Kings rallies today were paid?

I doubt this is real news, but, honesty, it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. https://www.thedailybeast.com/kristi-noem-wants-migrants-to-compete-for-citizenship-on-hunger-games-style-reality-show/ Kristi Noem reportedly wants the U.S. citizenship process to play out in front of the cameras. The Homeland Security secretary has been working with writer and producer Rob Worsoff to pitch a reality TV show—titled The American—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to the Daily Mail. Citing a copy of Worsoff’s 35-page program pitch, the Daily Mail reported that the Canadian-born producer aims to “celebrate what it means to be American and have a national conversation about what it means to be American, through the eyes of the people who want it most.” Worsoff is best known for producing the A&E reality show Duck Dynasty. Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Beast that the show’s concept is under consideration, though she denied that Noem had reviewed the pitch in question. The concept is “in the very beginning stages” of the vetting process, she added, and approval has not been given—or denied. “The Department of Homeland Security receives hundreds of television show pitches a year,” she said in a statement. “Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval.” McLaughlin denied Noem’s involvement in the project, though unnamed sources told the Daily Mail that the Homeland Security secretary supports it and wants it to proceed. The Daily Beast has also reached out to Worsoff’s representatives for comment.

Fun Fact: I have not done any reporting since I returned to this forum a few years back after being gone for over a decade. Not one person has been reported by me. Not one. Believe it or don't.
