We The People

The mad king and his regime is scared of No Kings Day.

They have good reason to be.

Tyrants fear the people they govern. They know that if enough of the people they govern rise up against them, they are on their way out.

That’s why tyrants lie to the people they govern.

That’s why tyrants want to take over and control the news media.

That’s why tyrants send troops into the cities that have opposed them in the past.

That’s why tyrants take control of their country’s “justice” departments and use it to selectively charge their opponents with false crimes and try to put them in prison.

That’s why tyrants want government-controlled religion. They want religion on a leash. They want religion like MAGA religion, that serves the tyrant and makes God out to be just another servile stooge in the tyrant’s regime.

Tyrants are liars.

Tyrants are corrupt.

Tyrants use the power of government to line their pockets and the pockets of their families and their stooges.

And tyrants are afraid — terribly afraid — of We the People.

Marching Against Tyranny on No Kings Day

The last No Kings Day demonstrations were massive. According to estimates, they were the largest single demonstrations we have ever held in this country on a single day. Not only that, but they were widespread, going from coast to coast, in red states and blue states both.

There is another No Kings Day demonstration scheduled for this Saturday, and the Mad King and his stooges are scared of it.

So, they are doing what they always do. They are lying and slandering and sliming the people who oppose them.

I believe the Speaker of the House is a Trump stooge.

Trying to Lock Up the Epstein Files

The Speaker of the House has kept the House out of session for almost all of the time since July. Why? Because he’s blocking a move to release the Epstein files.

He’s refusing to swear in a duly elected member of Congress from Arizona. Why? Because she would sign the petition to release the Epstein files and that would be enough signatures to actually release those files.

This has gone on so long that the Arizona attorney general is threatening legal action if Johnson continues to refuse to swear in the Congresswoman. Johnson is denying the people in her district representation in our government.

He tells all sorts of specious stories about why the House is not in session. These stories usually include blaming the Democrats, which is a stupid lie if you know anything about how the House works. He’s the Speaker. He calls the House in session. It’s. His. Job.

None of his excuses add up with reality. Truth is, Johnson is the Speaker. He can call the House into session any time he wants.

I think he’s shut the House down for months because he’s trying to lock up the Epstein files for the Mad King.

This same servant of the Mad King — who has kept the House out of session for almost the entirety of the last four months in what for sure looks like an attempt to protect Republican pedophiles in high office from public exposure — has told the press that the people who will march in No Kings Day marches this weekend are doing it because they “hate America.”

Patriots Standing Up To Tyranny

He and a couple of his fellow Republicans held a presser in which they claimed that No Kings Day marchers are “Hamas,” “Marxists” and “antifa types” (whatever that is.) Of course, they added their long-standing lie about everybody who disagrees with them about anything, that the marchers are all paid to march by George Soros.

The truth is, the people marching to stop this growing dictatorship are patriots. There is nothing more American than American citizens taking a stand against tyranny.

We are Americans.

We have the right to free speech.

We have the right to petition our government.

We have the right to disagree with the Mad King and what he is doing to our country.

Meanwhile, Trump’s cabinet members are getting into the act.

Suck-ups and Liars

Trump’s cabinet members are a special case in boot-licking servility. I don’t know if you’ve watched one of their cabinet meetings. If you haven’t, I don’t really advise it, unless you’ve got a strong stomach.

These guys and gals take turns flattering Trump. He goes around the room and each one of them makes a speech in turn about how wonderful Trump is, and how magnificent Trump is. It’s sickening to watch.

If Kim Jong Un, the North Korean King/dictator/tyrant/murderer of his own people held cabinet meetings, I imagine this is pretty much how they would go.

You can’t govern a democracy with suck-ups and liars. Governing a democracy requires people of character, morals and courage at every level, including We the People.

Tyrants Fear What No Kings Day Stands For

But it’s no surprise that the cabinet members are attacking No Kings Day. If one of them showed a single moment of integrity, they’d be out on their ear and the Mad King would be demanding that one of his stooge prosecutors indict them for something or other. These people serve the Mad King. America is nothing to them.

Here’s a couple of for-instances of their inane attacks against our right as Americans to demonstrate.

The Secretary of Transportation announced that No Kings Day protesters are “terrorists.”

I think what he is trying to tell us is that a fully-aroused American citizenry that wants to keep our democracy terrifies him, his Mad King, and all the rest of this tyrannical regime.

Scott Bissent, the Secretary of the Treasury, who is known for threatening to “punch” fellow cabinet members, proclaimed that the No Kings Day protestors were responsible for the government shut down. He said that “No Kings means no paychecks.”

That’s quite a reach, even for one of this regime’s fantastical liars. Is he trying to say that We the People directed the Republicans to deep-six our health insurance, kick us off Medicaid and close our rural hospitals, all so we could go out and demonstrate?

Frankly, I think if We the People could get Republicans in Congress to listen to us, we’d tell them to get back in there and do their jobs. We’d instruct them to take better care of our country than they’ve been doing these past six months and stop crawling around on their bellies in front of the Mad King.

I could go on with examples of the Mad King’s minions’ idiotic comments about the No Kings Day demonstrations. But why bother? It’s all just a bunch of hysterical whinging.

The bottom line here is that the Mad King and his no-character, spineless, little minions are scared of We the People.

And they’ve got good reason to be scared of us.

They are stripping our country down to the studs and putting the proceeds in their pockets. They are trying to destroy our democracy and make slaves of us.

But it’s not working.

Our corporations and institutions folded up in front of them like a bunch of wet wash rags. They practically knocked each other down in their haste to sell out our country to the Mad King.

We the People

We the People were stunned at first. But we’re rising to our feet. We’re beginning to stand. And we’re beginning to speak.

And when We the People speak, we roar.

They’ve sent troops, but they can’t cow us.

They’ve lied, but we don’t believe them.

We are free people.

America belongs to us.

That’s what No Kings Day is about.

This is America, and we have No Kings.

And that’s why all the little would-be dictators are scared.
