Trump’s army parade was neither the totalitarian North Korean spectacle that critics had grimly predicted, nor the triumph of MAGA nationalism fans craved

    I had the misfortune of hearing the opinions of some conservative family on the matter on Father’s Day.

    It was the best thing since sliced bread, apparently, and Trump “deserved” it because “it’s his birthday”, while “no one” showed up for the No Kings protests.

    Don’t ever be fooled into thinking that a lackluster performance will disappoint his fans.

      That’s what the media is telling them. Fox in particular, but the networks have been downplaying No Kings.

        That and facebook and talk radio, I really wish there was a practical way to shut the bastards down without causing undue collateral. Sadly wiping out the talking heads wouldn’t amount to jack shit.

      June 4 from now on will be known as “NO KINGS” day .
      The delusional right might ignore the massive protests but the tide is turning, they will disavowal their allegiances to the orange Krasnov.
