On October 18 there will another protest against the reign of America’s aspiring authoritarian dictator, Donald Trump. He has the distinction of being the least popular U.S. president in modern times. Which makes it much easier to organize these protests. The last one drew more than five million people nationwide.

In addition to being profoundly unpopular, historians have ranked Trump dead last on their Presidential Greatness Project. And no wonder. He is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, a serial adulterer, an unrepentant con man, and a pathological liar. It remains a mystery how such a walking embodiment of embarrassment could have ever been elected president – twice.

As the upcoming date for the next “No Kings” rally approaches, Trump and his MAGA minions in Congress have the government shutdown. It’s a deliberate effort to deny the American people affordable healthcare, and to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files that undoubtedly contain numerous references to Trump. If they didn’t, he would have released them months ago.
So in order to deflect from all the bad news being generated by Trump and Republicans in Congress, the GOP leadership is lashing out the American people. During press avails Friday morning they uniformly attacked citizens seeking to exercise their constitutional rights by viciously maligning them as terrorists before the protests have even begun. That’s how House Majority Whip Tom Emmer framed the upcoming protests…
“This is about one thing and one thing alone. To score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week.”
Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone — to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."
Of course. Any expression of dissent from Dear Leader Trump is de facto terrorism. And the people who love their country enough to hit the streets to defend it are called haters. But Emmer was not alone. GOP House Speaker, Mike Johnson, said pretty much the same thing to the assembled media…
“This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The Antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they’re all gonna gather on the Mall. We’ve got some House Democrats are selling T-shirts for the event. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes.”
Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes … all this has gotta come to an end."
OH NOES! Not t-shirts! What’s next? Red caps, autographed bibles and $1,000 watches? Johnson’s insults to the millions of people who support the “No Kings” protests are beyond despicable. They are vile and anti-American and designed to incite attacks on the protesters. He knows very well that there are no pro-Hamas or Marxist members of the Democratic Party or the liberal movement. And he knows that there is no Antifa organization. But that there are fascists leading his conservative MAGA crusade.
Johnson went on to accuse Democrats of being “afraid of that crowd.” Never mind that many Democrats will be marching right along side them. And Johnson concluded by demanding that “All of this has gotta come to an end.” Is he demanding that the Constitution be suspended so that Trump can prohibit any protests against him?
On the Senate side, Sen. Roger Marshall joined in the assault on free speech and assembly. He ranted that…
“October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We’ll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it…This is all a political show. It’s all a political scam.”
Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
The Trumpian right continues to allege that protesters are paid by George Soros. But they have never offered any proof of it. And Marshall is threatening the protesters with the deployment of the National Guard. That’s the Trump regime’s way of trying to incite violence, or at least the perception of it for the media. His “hope” that the protests will be peaceful is a lie.
It’s funny that these MAGA-tists are suddenly so concerned about the potential for violence at a demonstration when they are still defending the deadly insurrection that Trump incited on January 6, 2021.
The previous “No Kings” events have all been totally peaceful. And they are pledging the same for the one next weekend. If there is any violence you can bet that it will be incited by Trump’s provocateurs. Just like what he has tried to do in all the cities to which he has sent troops to quell violence that doesn’t exist. He is hankering for a reason to declare martial law. But the people are not going to give it to him. Sadly, that doesn’t mean he won’t do it anyway.
