When will someone point out that Trump himself has referred to "paid agitators" in the crowds? He's admitting that those rioters dressed in black with masks are not part of the peaceful protest but are there to cause trouble and get attention away from the peaceful and on to the violence. So who would be paying those "paid agitators"? The guy who wants to justify sending in the troops? And he's even admitted it. Even if they are not all plants by this regime to stir up violence, it's a very good chance that they are MAGA vigilantes and J6 and Proud Boy types that want to make the peaceful protesters look bad. Let's magnify that message please!

Yes, KL Thank you for pointing this out. An old CIA, FBI tactic.

Exactly. There was a Craigslist post for people to be seat fillers for his June 14 homage to himself parade. I and others posted his desperation on BlueSky & elsewhere. Here in LA we’ve noted he’s got paid rioters as well.

Is the dear leader’s military ass smooch parade really scheduled for after six o’clock? What time is the pope speaking? I was hoping he would draw some of the crowd. Are Trump and Miller waiting until someone is killed at a protest on Saturday so that Trump’s rambling, incoherent parade speech will have more focus? Are they planning something or just hoping?

I suspect they are planning something. I believe the Pope's address is around 2:30 - 3:00. Not entirely sure, but it is in the afternoon. Someone posted that there was supposed to be rain that day. I hope it starts as he starts speaking and is a violent thunderstorm.

I read that "the troops" for trump's speech were selected because they said they support trump. So as with everything, he has to rig the game to make it appear that he has support. And yeah, it's scary AF that they are so gleeful about doing his bidding.

And I also read that only 300 of the first 2000 national guard troops deployed even have orders. The remainder are just sitting around.

The willing t-rump troops were probably paid- and who can fault them with the disgraceful pay they receive!

They probably are getting promotions.

And pardons at the ready, just in case.

You are so right. Just think if we ever get the chance to get trump in jail there will be no pardons for his corruptions and crimes. I wonder who would even visit him. He would be a has-been and a vile beast of society.

If Donnie gets tried, convicted, sentenced, and incarcerated during his term, either the SCOTUS will vacate all of it, or JD will take over. JD will pardon him.

JD might not pardon him because he might be afraid of what would happen to him if he did that. SCOTUS might be another story. We, unfortunately, have to wait until this all plays out. I wish we were the writers of the story.

Fetterman needs to get out of Congress. I think the stoke that he had is seriously affecting his brain and now doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. First he meets with tRump at Mar-a-logo and then sides with the Republicans. I suspect that he doesn't know what he is doing and should be boosted out on medical reasons. You should do a post on the devil talking to tRump, since he has sold his soul to him. Watch for the horns to sprout. I read somewhere that there will only be about 200,000 people at the parade. tTump will say that there were millions and millions - no more room for all those that wanted to come. The protest rallies will have a lot more people that are against trump than trump will have that are for him. I want to say to the military that I am sorry that this idiot has tried to take your day away from you. This should be your day - not his and he should be respectful of that, but we all know that he doesn't understand what respect is. If I were you, I would contact cities across the country and have your own parades thru out the summer. You will be respected and will, most likely, draw large crowds. We should be honoring our military for what they have done for our country and peoples - not turning it into a birthday party for the countries worst president that is trying to rip apart our Constitution.

Hello SP's...Here's one for you. We "had" a friend in law enforcement and a few years back he told us that the Police were training in... How to Put down protests and insurrections in all the US States.

We thought that this was very, very Fucked up. Hence the word "had". This was way back in 2017.

Coincidence? I think not.

Stay safe out there...And remember Selma. AL. I'm guessing that they won't hesitate to reuse those tactics....How fucked up is all this shit.

Thanks for keeping it real S & A.

I’m pretty sure “Tar and Feathering Newsome” is just the name of a gay porn flick Mike Johnson and his son are dying to watch together.

It’s all a stage show and until someone says they want it to stop ( like the supremes are supposed to be non biased but like tumpys butt) we are in for more turmoil!!

I still belief we are smarter and better than them

An idea I gave is to

STOP BUYING ANYTHING !!

As consumers we are all the decision makers for the rich …

Look at some of the places closing for lack of customers

It’s about the money!!

If we could just stop 🛑 completely for about 3-4 days there would be trouble for those who think they “ own us” ‘b

Canada has a boycott on US goods and produce. There’s no US liquor in the liquor stores.

Fox Noise has always been allowed to play 24/7 on military bases for reasons of free speech. Apparently this right does not extend to peaceful protesters at home. I wonder why the soldiers at Ft. Bragg cheered Trump instead of taking umbrage at being called "suckers and losers" by a 5-time draft dodger.

Surprisingly, Fox Noise isn't played as much as people think. Most of the time it's very non-controversial stuff, like HGTV or Food Network.

Note: Probably an unwelcome fine point, but Robert E Lee was not a "loser." As in team sports, where it's essentially impossible to identify a GOAT, it was the South, not Lee, that lost the Civil war. Lee was heavily lobbied to command Union forces, but he came from VA, and he thought he should represent his "home." Although that wouldn't stop Donnie from calling him a "loser and a sucker," so I don't know why Donnie wants Lee's name or representation anywhere.

Note two: "TACO" and "MACO," huh?

Note six: Think it over. You can come up with way more than that.

Note 10: I knew Fox existed for a reason.

Note 11: Watch the tense. Not "are wrecking." "Have wrecked."

Note 12: I think he already did.

Note 13: Don't worry about Donnie's feelings. What won't be there is people. He'll make that up later. What will be there is tanks, etc. Ah, to be four again.

Note 14: No, I don't remember when Republicans cared about small businesses and free speech. I remember when they claimed to.

"Absolute Bitch Cowards:" Apparently, Fetterman isn't the only one who knows how annoying Democrats are. Tapper knows, too.

"Fucking Scary:" Oh, come on. They follow the "Commander-in-Chief." If Biden had told them to boo some Republican governor, they would have followed him, too. No? And don't start with that "yeah, but Biden would never have done that" stuff.

"Git His Ass:" Good speech.

"Today's clips," paragraph one: We're about to learn something about the voters in NJ.

Today's clips," paragraph three: He's the occupant of the White House. He can do what he likes. He can increase his already impressive legacy with a move like that.

"Today's clips," paragraph four: The frustrating thing is that we can't watch them suffer and kill themselves. They just can't call for help. Whose idea of fun is that?
