“No Kings”

We’re lucky to live in a country where we can do things like this.

Nationwide. 2000+ plus locations.

America just did it again on Saturday.

In June, she did so while the President was throwing himself a birthday party; underwhelming in comparison, low turnout despite the tanks and whistles. The whole thing oddly reminiscent of a chubby Korean guy with a shitty bowl cut.

This time around he was busy posting slop A.I., designing a ballroom, promoting his niece’s t-shirts, and watching a ceasefire get blown to smithereens only days after it began.

Those who marched did so in anger and frustration, in sadness and hopelessness… in fear.

Of a President who loves to sow political unrest and stoke turmoil at every opportunity possible.

Of a guy who was probably never punched in the face who is now proudly signing off on the snatching people in broad daylight if their skin is brown in certain cities across our country.

Taking Mothers and Fathers out of immigration offices and back-to-school nights. Community members off farms and away from Home Depot’s. Chaining and detaining immigrants (often times at bare minimum immigrants, not even criminals beyond their attempt at a better life) at breakneck pace, while upstanding citizens, family members, and children get their lives thrown around by a government that outwardly hates them.

It’s awful.

A President that’s violating our freedom of speech and bordering McCarthy-ism with recent opinionated firings surrounding Charlie Kirk’s horrible assassination and used it to further Israel’s dick up his ass with an A.I. image of the two of them hugging beneath the two flags.

It all reeks.

Of a President who signed a bill. A once in a lifetime kinda bill. The first of its kind. The first blatant outright tax bill to actually take more money away from the poor and give it to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

Of a President who said he’d end Russia/Ukraine & Israel/Palestine and in a day. An invasion and an ethnic cleansing.

Of a President who swore he wouldn’t touch Medicaid and that he’d end the wars, but who is indebted to the tune of $230 million and change to Israel — so much so he jokes on stage with Bibi about how well he used the floodgate of cash and ammunition to wipe out a civilization.

A President who, while he WASN’T President, shouted for all to hear from his Twitter rooftop that Obama’s waning approval numbers would force him to lie about a nuclear arms program and senselessly perform a military strike on Iran …

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A President who we all know is a bonafide star… in the Epstein files.

And a sleezeball on TV. He’s more a reality TV star, then he is a businessman, who’s long list of failures, all bare his name and likeness… let alone a President.

A guy who has been accused of sexual misconduct by 25 women. By misconduct, I don’t mean creepy old guy jokes — I mean harassment, assault, and rape — and is being protected by a party that will do anything to stay in power (as are the Democrats).

Aware of the fact that having a strong united front as a country is a beautiful and important thing to have. To have a President that looks to unify us as American brothers and sisters. That when raising generations on good foundations of growing up to be decent people, it’s a good thing to have a President who upholds those values. Part of the sale on “Make America Great Again” was that wholesome christian upbringing, but it became clear pretty early on that also meant back to a time that also had more hate in it.

Like there isn’t enough out there already.

Of a President who loves to sow political unrest and turmoil at every opportunity possible. His latest worst being another crude use of Kirk’s murder where he blamed the radical left for all political violence… like a democratic Minnesota statesmen and her husband weren’t killed by a radical right-wing fanatic… like Governor Shapiro’s home wasn’t set on fire while he and his family were inside, like January 6th never happened…

Of a President who rules with an iron fist, stroking his own ego with a kung fu grip.

Letting his ooze of lies, chaos, and corruption go drip, drip, drip

All over his own batshit cons—errr close to the chest, constituents.

And Donnie said ugghhhh,

JD, Carress Me Down…

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...

A President who is driven by his overblown, never-to-be-satisfied ego and not much more beyond that; besides doing right by his rich friends, and, above all else, doing wrong by anyone who opposes him.

A President who is upholding Project 2025 at a rapid pace…

especially for someone who disavowed any personal connection to it.

A President who looks to be steered, with two hands on the wheel, by Steve Bannon and the rest of his creepy cronies.

Guy gives me chills.

That Economist interview?

He’s really the evil emperor from Star Wars.

If Lizard people exist. He’s one of them. Dude is grimey, slime personified.


Of a President who is clearly and obviously setting his sights on a government overhaul in 2028 and openly jokes of dictatorship, while quite clearly letting the world know he intends to run in 2028 and break the 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Those who once fancied themselves patriots look the other way and laugh it off, calling those worried about such a thing pussies and idiots and other simple outs. We’ll see where they lie as Americans three years from now.

A President who’s most gruesome and leaned-into joke may have been his dyed eyebrows perking at the idea of an election year without an election because there’s a domestic war going on.

One can only hope this is hyperbole, but it doesn’t strike me as such from a man who lives to create the loudest life and presidency that he can. With an ego incapable of deflating, there’s truly no stretch to the lengths he will go to stamp his name on more pages of the history book he’s writing about himself… by himself, for his people, not the people, but above all, for, guess who, you guessed it — HIMSELF.

Brought to you the day he leaves office for a low monthly subscription of $19.99 on Truth Social.

Feel free to fact check this entire thing, except for the last line, that’s something you have to ask a crystal ball.


“NO KINGS” is not a stretch.


It’s scary.

Thousands and thousands and THOUSANDS marched and rallied for the “No Kings” protest, one that I think Ben Franklin and his revolutionary cohorts would have attended in full force.

Get back to work.
