Post any information and updates about them in this thread. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/13/us/military-parade-protests-trump Millions of protesters are expected at ‘No Kings’ rallies nationwide as President Trump’s military parade takes place on his 79th birthday As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January. More than 2,000 protests across all 50 states are planned through the No Kings movement, which organizers say seeks to reject “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.” The mobilization is a direct response to Trump’s military parade in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the US Army – which coincides with his 79th birthday. -
Trump's World is trending on Twitter and I thought it be nice to have a Trump general discussion thread that doesn't call him "Father" Here's the hastag: https://x.com/search?q="TRUMP'S WORLD"&src=trend_click&vertical=trends And I'll do the first post:

It is one thing to remodel The Rose Garden. It is quite another to take a wrecking ball to The East Wing and change the basic structure of this historic building.

Strike on Alleged Drug Boat Off Colombia Expands U.S. Campaign to Pacific
squistion posted a topic in The Geek Club
The MAGA crowd are cheering Trump directing the military to blow up a tiny Venezuelan boat that barely had enough cocaine for a bachelor party (if it had drugs at all) without any proof of guilt or a trial. So, civilians from other countries allegedly brining drugs to the US in international waters now merits the death penalty? https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/us-military-kills-11-people-strike-alleged-drug-boat-venezuela-trump-says-2025-09-03/ US military kills 11 people in strike on alleged drug boat from Venezuela, Trump says WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. military killed 11 people on Tuesday in a strike on a vessel from Venezuela allegedly carrying illegal narcotics, President Donald Trump said, in the first known operation since his administration's recent deployment of warships to the southern Caribbean. "We just, over the last few minutes, literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat," Trump told reporters at the White House. "And there's more where that came from. We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country, coming in for a long time ... These came out of Venezuela." He later shared a video on his Truth Social platform that appeared to show footage from overhead drones of a speedboat at sea exploding and then on fire. "The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike," Trump said. He added that the U.S. military had identified the crew as members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which the U.S. designated a terrorist group in February. He repeated allegations that Tren de Aragua is being controlled by Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, accusations that Caracas denies. -

She is starting to get it about a lot of things. Who would have thought, that among Republicans, Marjorie Taylor Greene would be one speaking up like this? -

Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody
squistion replied to Maximum Overkill's topic in The Geek Club
Surprised the OP started a new thread rather than post it in the Feel Good Deportation Stories thread. Don't think there is much sympathy for these women when the OP says: -
And defendants are never reimbursed for legal costs incurred for prosecutions that are dropped or otherwise not otherwise successful, that is not how the legal system works in this country (an exception being a "not jury" verdict at the conclusion of the trial in which the judge rules that the prosecution was frivolous and compels plaintiffs to pay defendant's attorneys fees).

https://x.com/SenRandPaul/status/1980778628305625589 (video at link) Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong. We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida. We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution! Everyone gets a trial because sometimes, the system gets it wrong. Even the worst of the worst in our country get due process. The bottom line is that execution without process is not justice, and blowing up foreign ships is a recipe for chaos. -

https://www.nydailynews.com/2011/06/01/use-your-hands-new-yorkers-respond-to-sarah-palin-donald-trump-pizza-eating-faux-pas/ Use your hands! New Yorkers respond to Sarah Palin, Donald Trump pizza-eating faux pas Sarah Palin, New Yorkers have a message for you: You’re doing it wrong! The Tea Party favorite and fellow GOP media-monger, Donald Trump, committed the cardinal sin of pizza-eating on Tuesday when they shared a pie at Famiglia Pizzeria in Times Square during a stop on her “One Nation” bus tour. They used forks. “She doesn’t know any better,” Darrell Carter, 50, an exterminator from the Bronx says. “Only Sarah Palin would eat pizza with a fork in New York.” Adama Tourray, 25, a clothing store employee from the Bronx, says he has never seen anyone eat pizza with a fork in the Big Apple before. “It’s not New York style,” he says. “You got to grab it.” -
Lining his own pockets again, as he controls the DOJ. Shameful and corrupt. Does anything think they won't rubber stamp his request for reimbursement?

Again the protests were not against the "perceived threat" of an actual king and your repeated attempts to mischaracterize it doesn't change the facts as to what the marches were about. -
