And the Marines! Talk about wasteful spending to give Dumpf the weakling a power boost so he feels like a strongman for all of 30 seconds before the next tirade/crsis pops into his empty head...

That is the most revolting and vile thing about this!! I don't know how I could NOT refuse to participate and just lay down my weapon because of his calling all military suckers and losers. Plus his comment about not seeing anything init for them! Disgusting and I feel sorry for these guys in uniform as they are probably scared

I was at Kent State on May 4, 1970, the last time a stupid fat old man thought it would be a good idea to bring in the National Guard to stop a protest. I watched them march up the hill, drop to their knees and start shooting. They killed four innocent students and wounded many others, not to mention the shattered plate glass windows everywhere.

The fat old man in 1970 also failed to make any provisions for the soldiers he ordered to the university campus, so they slept on the floors. they followed orders.

Trump and Hegseth are inflicting yet another round of PTSD on everyone who can remember May 4th in Kent, Ohio. God knows what else they will inflict upon us.

It's no coincidence that social and political events tend to happen in 50- to 60-year cycles, give or take. We think our grandparents don't really remember things the way they were, or that our grandparents are too old to understand what's going on now. Kent State is now in that cycle, and those of us who remember are the grandparents. But we do know.... What makes things worse is that the current events are unfolding to an audience that has grown up with social media, where almost nothing is the way it seems, and nothing (or everything) seems important or urgent. How do we engage with a generation that has not read 1984 (SparkNotes maybe), that hasn't had major political or social calls for change, and so forth?

Canadian here. ..the Trump clowns are taking the USA apart and nobody is actually rising up to stop it from happening...talk does not win battles...where's the honest judiciary, , the military that opposes all things trump? The world is watching and waiting for what? Podcasts?

We have some judiciary that are working hard for us, evidently, the military thinks that tRump's war on us is theirs to fight for tRump. He will have them turn their backs, on family, friends, neighbors, etc. I sure hope they wake up and realize that is not their job to do tRump's dirty work. We are doing what we can and will never rest until he is taken down and, hopefully, prosecuted for all his crimes. I am 83 years old and have lived a life under good governmentship, until now. I don't plan on dying with this regime turning our country into tRump's country. I will do all that I can to tell the truth to his lies and do honorable actions against his unlawful ones. We will fight to get the truth out and get him out of office. Thank you for paying attention to our plight. I hope that you will support those of us, that know what is really happening.

Ohio state 1970's. Remember that the drunk head of DOD fired all the top guys in the pentagon and also fired several other ranking officers so we have a skeleton crew that probably bent the knee to the drunk to get the job.

We're in a strange situation with a Supreme Court that has a supermajority and has interpreted the laws highly favorably to the president. So that's a guardrail that we can't count on, although lower courts have been pretty solid. Appeals will eventually end up in front of that supermajority... And the president appoints new judges and elevates judges to appeals courts, with the advice and consent of the Senate, which has backed him on some abysmal choices in other areas. The military can't get involved, constitutionally, and would be under the orders of the president. So right now, media, calls, e-mails, and peaceful protests are our tools. He just issued a statement that any protests against him on June 14 (we've never had this kind of military parade before) will be met with "very big force." Our founders didn't contemplate this kind of president, and our Democratic Party is hampered by lack of a strong, central, inspiring leader. So yeah, podcasts help with grassroots support that we try as hard as we can to make into something with force. We're working on it, trying very hard to act within the law to keep the action moving forward, although internationally, it doesn't look like it.

Orange Hitler has declared war on the citizens of the United States of America.

Resistance to the Orange Wehrmacht must be 24/7/365, round the clock with protest, boycotts, underground actions, national mobilation of counter anti-democratic armed insurectionists.

Back in the 60’s and 70’s I went to at least 100 demonstrations. Not one ever turned chaotic or violent until the cops came and started tossing tear gas at people.

Trump is full of bull and has nothing concrete and logical in any of his actions. His crazy idea of giving the super wealthy a tax break and paying for it by taking away Medicaid and food stamp benefits from low income families!

Thanks MeidasTouch, the current situation with the calling of National Guard & Marines in LA, is the most recent “smoke screen” by this regime to have the public temporarily forget about his “Big, Ugly Bill” sitting in the Senate-allowing senators to enhance cuts to needed Medicaid, SNAP, Medicare, Social Security and VETS benefits & provide tax benefits to the billionaires!

We The People NEED to keep our eyes on this bill in Congress!

Please on June 14th at the “No Kings” marches—BE SAFE!

Be PEACEFUL!

Don’t engage in violent behavior!

DT is just looking for any excuse to use these marches as an Insurrection and proclaim Martial Law across America!🇺🇸

And be aware that people are likely to try to rile up the peaceful protesters or insert themselves into a peaceful protest to incite violence -- just as an excuse to escalate. Pay attention and shut down any attempts to violate the law. Protests must stay completely peaceful and lawful or they will be tools for others.

I'm sadden what has happened. I grew up in Los Angeles and now live in Washington state. I moved because it's just so beautiful up here but also because I felt with this current administration life would change in LA. I predicted with my friends and family this would happen because of Trump. sadly...this day arrived.

He did the same thing in Portland in 2020. We had peaceful protests in a few blocks in downtown Portland with a few people being violent and causing problems. Then he got involved and inflamed the entire situation with his masked goons. It was horrible. And the media picked it up and made it look like the entire city was burning and lawless.

It appears those that displayed a peaceful was setup with Agent provocateurs. A recurring tactic throughout history, particularly in the suppression and disruption of social and political movements.

Sometimes when our government wants to provoke violence they use a "psy-op" of paid agitators who attempt to pour gasoline on a fire,just keep this in mind.

Let's Ruin the tRump's Birthday and join the largest Civil Rights Movement in history. Stay away from his Military/Birthday parade in DC and attend the next Global Anti-tRump Mass Protest next Saturday, June 14, 2025 instead.

We are currently losing the war against this criminal Dick Traitor. He's ended our democracy, is rapidly stealing our civil rights and is now threatening America citizens. We are no where near the numbers needed to save our democracy. We need just 3.5% (11 million American protesters and boycotters) of the US population to effectively end the reign of the tRump, his regime of Nazi Musk Rats and MAGAts,  the ICE Gestapo, the Billionaire Oligarchs who hog the money you earn and the Administration from Hell! We the People are the only ones with the power to restore our civil rights, rebuild our democracy and elect a real President!

The last two mass protests had an estimated 3-5 million participates each. That means we all need to encourage at least three more people to support the resistance and attend a protest with us. Check your social media or Mobilize.us for an event near you. Please forward, share and talk about this message with your family, friends, colleagues, strangers to if given the opportunity. Post and repost it on your social media accounts! It's going to take ALL of us woke Americans to end this nightmare! Show the world that good Americans far outnumber the un-woke, racist MAGAts!
