The Liberal Outrage Of The Week

[Primemuscle]

I think that's generally true.  Those rules don't apply to Trump.  He's different.  A lot of the traditional rules don't apply to him.

That traditional (he thinks) rules don't apply to him is another reason I dislike Trump. This is interesting because I generally like things that are different from the norm because I often find them more interesting. But then, I believe in following the rules whenever possible.

That's part of his appeal.  And that whole "norms" thing is dead, particularly after the lawfare, what the left tried to do to Trump and his family, and what they let The Biden Crime Family get away with. 

Also, the internet and social media was a game changer.  Without it, the mainstream media controlled narratives.  They no longer do.  And and they cannot control Trump, which infuriates them.

Well, Trump's rule breaking does not appeal to me. It appeals to many of his supporters.

I really don't care about the "rules."  Nobody follows them anyway.

Define your scope of nobody and of the rules.

Yep all politicians are cheaters and liars Trump included.

[Dos Equis]

Define your scope of nobody and of the rules.

You first.

[Primemuscle]

You first.

Okay. To me the word nobody means not one single person and rules are guidelines with consequences, either good or bad depending on the rule.

[Dos Equis]

When I say "nobody" I don't mean that literally.  Figure of speech.  More accurately:  the overwhelming majority of people in positions of power who abuse that power or don't follow the "norms" face no real consequences. 

I'm not clear on what you mean (either specifically or generally) about rules.  I'm not really referring to laws.  I'm talking about expected standards of conduct for public officials.  Not using the law to attack political opponents.  Unwritten rules about what politicians should or should not say.  Trump doesn't follow those.

Another "No Kings" rally.  President Trump is still your president.

Did you expect otherwise? I didn't. IMO, this is not the main purpose of these rallies/protests. They are aimed at opposing the policies and actions of Donald Trump. One hopes they will get congress off its asses and vote in policy and action limitations and changes.

These rallies are designed to keep people who didn't vote for Trump and will never vote for a Republican nominee angry and motivated to vote in the midterms.  It's a ridiculous, nonsensical movement that will accomplish nothing outside of keeping the Zombies in line and getting them to the polls. 

They will not convince Republicans and independents that we have a wannabe "king."  The whole thing is pretty stupid.

The Republican Party sucks.  They are just fortunate that their opposition has lost their collective minds and repeatedly embraces stupid stuff like this.

Midterms are only seven months from now.  I guess come November 3rd, we will find out whether No Kings protests and rallies were stupid. I agree with you in that the Republican Party sucks.

I don't need seven months to determine that having a rally to protest a king in the U.S. is friggin stupid.  Or that that these rallies are not going to convince independents and Republicans that we have a king.  This stuff is comical.

Let's see if you get the last laugh or not, then we can talk about what is or isn't stupid. Even if these rallies don't succeed in convincing independents and Republicans, they may motivate more Democrats to vote.

FFS just look at the state of that Fucking idiotic 🤡

Yes that's what I said:

What they cannot do is rely on actual public policy issues, because their public policy positions suck.  They have to rely on emotion and dishonesty to keep their base engaged and hope that independents and Republicans don't show up on election day.

[illuminati]

Absolutely retarded.

Yep & we have equally stupid / retards on here who back & agree with this
Utter 🤡 Stupidity  - Unbelievable  -
Supposedly Grown Adults
Saying No Kings -  No shit you Daft Khvnts - You don't have a Monarchy 
This is the level of how Fucking stupid they are, How on Earth could anyone  have a

Well, there are more registered democrats than republicans. It is independents that each side needs sway to win the vote. Currently there are more left leaning than right leaning independents, but it is close.

I don't know if that's true.  And it's sort of meaningless without context.  In terms of numbers, what matters are the number of registered and likely voters in each state.

All we have to do is look at who funded these rallies to see who leftists support.

The "No Kings" protests were funded by a combination of progressive foundations, unions, grassroots donations, and networks of socialist and communist organizations, with major contributions from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations and tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham.
Key Funders and Organizations
George Soros and Open Society Foundations (OSF): The Open Society Foundations, founded by billionaire philanthropist George Soros, provided significant funding to support the protests. Millions in grants were channeled to key organizations like Indivisible, which coordinated data and communications for the rallies. From 2017 to 2023, OSF awarded nearly $8 million to Indivisible, including a $3 million two-year grant in 2023 to support social welfare activities.


Neville Roy Singham and Socialist/Communist Networks: American tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, an avowed communist living in China, funded a network of about 500 activist groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenue. These include the Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER Coalition, CodePink, and the People’s Forum, which actively participated in the protests and promoted revolutionary socialist messaging.

Coalitions and Progressive Organizations: A coalition of over 200 organizations helped organize the nationwide demonstrations. Key participants included Indivisible, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), 50501 Movement, Public Citizen, and unions such as the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Additional partners included MoveOn, Human Rights Campaign, United We Dream, Common Defense, League of Conservation Voters, National Nurses United, and Reproductive Freedom for All.

Grassroots Donations: Smaller contributions from volunteers and grassroots supporters also played a role, particularly for local chapters and regional coordination, such as the American Opposition group in Colorado, which raised nearly $13,000 through online donations.

Summary
The funding behind the "No Kings" rallies is a multi-layered network combining billionaire philanthropy, large activist organizations, unions, and grassroots support. Soros’s foundations provided structured grants to lead organizers like Indivisible, while Singham’s network of socialist and communist groups contributed both financial resources and mobilization capacity. Together, these sources enabled nationwide coordination across thousands of locations in the United States.

You don't need seven months to determine this because you hope for a different outcome than these protestors do.

Explain what you mean in the second sentence? Are the rallies going to convince or not going to convince anyone of we have a king?

Some people think that a president is not above the law and cannot act as a monarch. Trump acts like a king. Legal Standing: Presidents must follow a constitution, whereas absolute monarchs are typically above the law.
