A No Kings Rally in London is a bit humorous.

No Kings protests: millions rally in cities around the world against Trump and his administration – as it happened

This liveblog is now closed.

They can't possibly be holding a "no kings" rally in England, can they?!?

Oh, the irony and utter incompetence of the left.

 

[Hogpatrol]

There's a good business opportunity at these No Kings Rallies, peddling Xanax.

Hegseth needs to read his history books. Nothing virtuous about the Crusades. Those guys were land-grabbing thugs waving crosses. The Muslims were fine with making Jerusalem free to all pilgrims ... as long as they behaved themselves. But that wasn't good enough for the Popes (who were also big into the land grabbing business). When the Crusaders finally took the city the first thing they did was round up all the Jews in town and burn them alive. Probably the folks who suffered most at the hands of the Crusaders were other Christians, particularly the Eastern Orthodox. Hegseth spouting his fanatic Crusader "kill em all" hate rhetoric is the last thing this administration needs. Like trying to rename the Dept of Defense the War Dept. Very stupid. Talk about sending all the wrong messages! But it's exactly what I would expect from an idiot ... in clown show full of idiots. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

They had about 50 people show up in the Dallas suburb of Allen today… the collection of out of state tags in the nearby parking lot I think is probably an indicator of how successful they have been at getting support in the north DFW area lol…

It’s pretty sad honestly when a billionaire that’s never held a job in her life funds your protest.. and the best you can do is show up with a few dozen people that shake signs and shout at people while they’re shopping and largely get ignored by the thousands having a nice Saturday afternoon checking out the nice shops at Waters Creek lol.

The news indicated 200,000 in Minneapolis at the no kings rally today. Portland Oregon also had a large turn out.

 

[mdwest]

I don’t think anyone is surprised about either Minneapolis or Portland…

I would have expected no less from those two cities.

 

[mdwest]

I would have expected no less from those two cities.

To be truthful, I would have expected more…

Those are easy.. between the locals and the imports it’s not hard to hit those numbers… and they know those are cities where the mayor and local law enforcement will let them get away with whatever behavior they want to display…

When they manage to get even 20,000 in Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Miami, Orlando, or even Indianapolis, I’ll be impressed..

Until then it’s just the same bunch of people that will be wearing pink pussy hats raising hell about roe v wade again once they get bored with no kings..

Theatrics… not much more..

The world is going to get interesting fast if teenagers start 3D printing MANPADS for $100. Think of the fun Charlie Wilson would have had with these.

The thought about a visit from creepy folk in black suits may be pretty close to what will or already has taken place.

Whew! An intelligent nerd with time, money and a knack for selling his ego driven BS on the net. He uses a lot of the correct lingo for such a project, but also a huge volume of misrepresentation, wishful fantasy, and false rhetoric. Nonetheless, enough truth in the sales pitch to beg a visit from G men with badges. There is a very wide gap between the prototype that was shown in the short and edited launch clip in the video and a working model that really would be capable of doing all or any of the BS he was claiming.

That gap from reality may actually save him from the most serious legal consequence and some significant prison time, with a fall back alibi going something like, “shucks, it was all just a joke, a video spoof from the beginning”. He may find the authorities are not much into such jokes at the moment.

In the past, Ive seen a couple hundred people off Preston & Parker in Plano for various anti-Trump propaganda. I did not go by there today, and could not care less whether they were or were not.

As you noted, In past instances when I've rolled through the parking lot, it seems like a lot of out of town plates.

I had no idea they were going to be there today… I pay that little attention… I find the whole “movement” to be a bunch of clowns and paid protestors…

Did find it funny that thousands were going about their day, having lunch, shopping, playing in the little park in the center of the shopping center, and none of them gave so much as a damn about the tiny little “protest” group..

It must be a frustrating and miserable experience to drive all the way from California and Colorado only to figure out hardly anyone else is joining you, and none of the locals could give a shit about what you’re so angry about lol..

Didn't get a count on how many had blue/purple hair, did you? lol

There is more to it then just bored people.

I find this interview very interesting.
But unlike many similar political interviews and "experts" - this guy has a sense of humor.

Never heard of him before.
Had to search on google and AI, to see his background.

It will take 1 and a half hour of your time.
