There have been more than a dozen "mass protests" against Trump since 2016, all over the world.

What have they accomplished?

Were any of the attendees under the age of 75? :ROFLMAO: The news has been talking about that all day. Such a high percentage being nursing home age. Maybe that's why most of the protests were only a couple of hours long? Elderly people couldn't be out there much longer than that,...too damn old.

Under what "circumstances"?






A U.S. president can send troops to address domestic disturbances under specific legal frameworks, primarily the Insurrection Act of 1807 and related statutes. Here are the key circumstances:
  1. Insurrection or Rebellion: The president can deploy federal troops if a state faces an insurrection, rebellion, or domestic violence that prevents the enforcement of federal or state laws, and the state government requests assistance or is unable to maintain order. This is outlined in 10 U.S.C. § 251-255:
    • State Request: A state governor or legislature may request federal assistance to suppress an insurrection (10 U.S.C. § 251).
    • Federal Authority Without State Request: If an insurrection obstructs federal law enforcement or deprives citizens of constitutional rights, the president can act unilaterally to restore order (10 U.S.C. § 252-253).
  2. Domestic Violence or Unlawful Obstruction: The president may deploy troops if domestic violence or unlawful activities hinder the execution of federal laws or judicial proceedings in a state, particularly if local authorities cannot or will not address the issue (10 U.S.C. § 253).
  3. Protection of Civil Rights: If a disturbance prevents citizens from exercising their constitutional rights (e.g., voting or equal protection under the law) and local authorities fail to protect those rights, the president can intervene to enforce them (10 U.S.C. § 253).
  4. National Emergencies or Martial Law: In extreme cases, a president may declare a national emergency or martial law to deploy troops, though this is rare and controversial. Martial law typically requires a complete breakdown of civil governance, as seen in historical examples like the Civil War.
  5. Posse Comitatus Act Limitations: The Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385) generally prohibits federal troops from engaging in domestic law enforcement without specific legal authorization, such as the Insurrection Act. The president must justify troop deployment under these exceptions to avoid violating this law.
Process and Requirements:
  • The president typically issues a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse before deploying troops (10 U.S.C. § 254).
  • Congressional notification is required within 24 hours of deployment, though the Insurrection Act grants the president broad discretion without prior congressional approval.
  • Historical examples include President Eisenhower’s use of federal troops to enforce desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas (1957), and President George H.W. Bush’s deployment during the Los Angeles riots (1992), both following state requests or significant federal interest.
Courts have generally upheld the president’s authority under the Insurrection Act.






No U.S. president has directly ordered the prosecution of specific individuals in a way that’s been definitively proven or widely accepted as fact. The U.S. Constitution and legal framework place criminal prosecutions under the purview of the Department of Justice (DOJ), which operates with a degree of independence to avoid political interference. There have been historical instances where presidents or their administrations have been accused of influencing or pressuring the DOJ to target specific individuals, often political opponents, though these cases are typically murky and lack clear evidence of direct orders.

A huge one in West Palm Beach and another in Palm Beach Gardens, the latter spilled into the street and blocked traffic.

Proud of my community.


I also saw ICE at the place where Hispanic people congregate looking for work, about 20 of them ran, the others lined up next to o the truck to show their papers.

For what?

What do you actually think you are doing?

I watched college football until 2:30 then headed out to the golf course and squeezed in 9 holes with the frau. The high temperature was 46°. Beautiful sunny day.
Shot a 40 which isn’t all that bad being bundled up and wearing winter gloves on both hands. Plus I had to club up by two in these temperatures. Ball doesn’t fly as far and we’re stiffer.
Most of my teams lost today.😢

We watched all day long... Our teams had better luck... sorry about yours...( That's good golfing weather.... Better here though...It was eighty yesterday... More great weather this AM for the marathon... But they need to run fast.. bad storms are rolling in...;))
 
Want the simple truth? A truth that deep down everyone in here already KNOWS is the truth when it comes to No kings. Its a low cost / free outing for boomers on the older end of boomership. Its more a meet and greet for older boomers living on fixed income and wanting a little something to do that doesn't cost much if anything at all. It beats sitting at home AGAIN for them re watching reruns of Gunsmoke and the Andy Griffith show for the millionth time. That's why there were all the silly and outlandish costumes there. Stupid unserious getups.

Hey,...it happens on both sides. Take it from me,......I was pretty involved with the Tea Party movement back in the day. I watched as the same dumb shit happened and it pissed me off. I finally let our local group have it and I didn't really care who it offended. At the time we were working on the FLIP THIS HOUSE project,....which we ultimately were successful at. I basically told our members that this was SERIOUS BUSINESS,....this wasn't some damn costume party or a meet and greet for retired couples that were lonely and looking for a cheap activity to fill their time. This is frikkin WAR,...and NO TIME FOR NONSENSE like that. Now the left gets to go thru the very same thing,....You cant correct it though,.....not when most of your people are off the chain loopy to begin with. :ROFLMAO: Mark my words,......the Antifa types among you will end up absolutely DESPISING most of the No Kings attendees for all the same reasons I listed above. In fact Im POSITIVE they do already. They, like myself back then look at this as WAR,..........not the absolute nonsense we saw yesterday.

tic tic tic tic.....;)

Shapiro's home was burned by a liberal Free Palestine nut. Paul Pelosi was attacked by a liberal crazy nudist. A Tim Walz political appointee killed the Hortmans,

The MEME failed to mention Tyler Robinson who assassinated Charlie Kirk or Joshua Jahn tried to assassinate ICE officers in Dallas in a 2025 attack, though his shots accidentally hit and killed three detainees or Crooks that shot Trump in nButler Pa. or Ryan Routh was convicted of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. And the MEME failed to mention the hundreds of BLM riots . But hey other than that it was a great MEME. :laugh:

A celebration of our right to free speech - to assemble and express ourselves.

MAGA's seem so upset about this. Hardly "amused."

Has someone prevented you from assembling?

Has someone put tape over your mouth?

Did you find any kings?

Less than 1% of Americans were looking for kings yesterday

President Trump won 77 million plus votes.

He won by more than 2 million votes.

Elections have consequences.
