I’m ready for Saturday bring it. I will never back down nor will I ever stop protesting for my democracy and to stop fascism. I will continue to stay strong and not be silent. I will not be bullied and nobody in Washington or anywhere else will tell me what I can and cannot do. So trump and your regime can kiss my ass. Ice can also go F themselves.

An ad on Craig's list is asking for people to fill the empty seats at the parade. These will be people that are paid (probably with bitcoin), have to wear red, white and blue and will be given red hats to wear. tRump has to pay for his crowds now. I absolutely love it. I hope no one is desperate enough to answer the ad.

I don't want people who were forced to take part in this farce to have to march through storms or even a soaking rain. Seems doubtful that Donald will be in the parade himself; he'll be sitting on a covered grandstand (possibly on a throne), trying to look like Kim Jong Un as he watches "his" soldiers pass by

Hey, maybe that would be a good day for the Which Dictator Has the Worst Hair contest! If only we could get him to cancel it because he's afraid of being seen with wet hair.

I don't want the people that are taking part in the parade to be in the violent storm, either. I want it in just one location. I know he will be protected, but it was just wishful thinking. If his hair gets soaked, he won't be able to cover up the horns.

How exactly are they going to get paid? Walk around with cash handing out $100 bills and putting a red stamp on your hand just like a nightclub pass? It IS a club, a club of night, a club of darkness, a club of brain washed MAGA’s. Again, manipulating & conning the people who are in the most need… that $100 would go a long ways to help pay the rent and food! So even though people lost their jobs because of him/doge - he’s going to yank them back with the promise of money. Disgusting.🤮 And then there’s those military personnel he deployed to LA… I’m guessing that some of them felt they had to go because it was orders. Or maybe because they didn’t want to risk losing their jobs because they too have a family to feed. Or because them speaking up would mean being separated from their brothers and sisters in uniform. They might have felt that that would be a betrayal to service. Again, it’s t-RUMP’s playbook. Just how he wants it. Don’t forget the Big Mac, supersize fries and Didt Coke for his birthday parade. (Oh! But he sent troops to LA with no water, food, or beds to sleep in?! Oh I get it! His “happy birthday to me, from me, love me and me only” parade is more important than their needs. According to him, hey should be happy to sleep on the floor. In their own country. This is not disaster relief from a tornado or flood… in which most able bodied people would do the same. But this… utterly disturbing and maddening.

I agree with you 100% So many of us feel that way. So here’s my list (in no particular order) of A-Z as to why we don’t want him here in our country:

a) he’s Orange

b) he’s a convicted sex offender

c) he’s 34 count convicted fraudster/felon

d) we don’t allow criminals to cross into our country

e) he has threatened our sovereignty with his 51st state bullS41T against our clear and loud NO

f) he’s a serial liar

g) he’s a serial con man

h) he is the stupidest person I know of when it comes to anything important

i) the only thing he is “smart” about is how to manipulate people to get whatever he wants

j)a dictator-wanna-be

k) he sows division, fear & chaos wherever he goes

l) he has the biggest ego in the room. Any room. Always. (Other people in the room or not.)

m) he always plays the “poor me” victim card…

n) he’s always “being chased on a big witch hunt”

o) his ugly orange-ness does not deserve to set his feet on our soil and breathe our pristine air in our portion of the wild and beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains

p) he’s a racist

q) He has called those who honourably served their country and made the ultimate sacrifice “suckers & losers!” He does not honour veterans and their families. He made a mockery of Arlington. Shameful. Disgraceful.

r) he is bought & paid for by Putin (and others like him)

s) he doesn’t have basic human decency. none. empty.

t) he’s a glutton

u) because of how he treats women

v) because of how he has no respect for other world leaders except the dictators. For example, Zelensky

w) he doesn’t have an ounce of shame. Not one. He can sleep with a porn star and cheat on his wife (no disrespect to Stormy Daniels - she’s not the one who took his marriage vows)

x) he thinks he can buy, cheat, wheel, and deal anything - even when it’s not his in the first place

y) he’s claims to love God & the Bible when he loves himself and the white nationalists who support him

z)…did I forget to say because he’s orange? 🍊

There’s oh so many reasons not to let him cross our border. because he gets away with everything… the buck has gotta stop here, Canada!). 🇨🇦 ♥️ 🇨🇦

Oh! One extra thing… do we really want to allow in a foreign world leader who is not our ally, and who gives himself a Military Birthday Parade in his OWN honour?

That foul harridan Noem is now claiming that Padilla did not identify himself and that he "lunged" toward Noem. What a crock of shit. He was forcibly removed for asking a question, by at least two people who were not clearly identified as law enforcement and then turned over to the FBI. Padilla should sue the hell out of all of them. This is a blatant stormtrooper assault. I will refer to Noem from now on as the Irma Griese of DHS. Griese was a vicious, sadistic guard at Auschwitz (where she was known as the Hyena), Ravensbruck and Belsen who was executed in 1945 for her crimes. Looks like the Puppykiller is striving to emulate her.

Too many people rely on Fox Lies for news, don't read past the misleading headlines, or only listen to rumors.
