I went out to dinner tonight with a dear friend. Someone who is my elder, at the ripe age of 88 I would wish to be as active and spry as she. She had spent her day at a ‘No Kings’ protest which I actually think is just about one of the most ridiculous and pointless things I’ve ever heard of.
At one point during dinner, I asked which kings she was protesting and she said there was only one, ‘my favorite guy’ as she put it. And I actually laughed and said that was ridiculous which I think surprised her a bit. I didn’t pursue it any further but the fact was I wasn’t at all angry and my reaction if anything was totally dismissive which I think threw her off quite a bit.
You see, if people had gone out and said they had a ‘I HATE TRUMP’ demonstration that would be one thing. I mean, that’s what the whole thing is but calling it a ‘NO KINGS’ protest is farcical and here are a few reasons why…
In the last eighteen months, Democrats have shut down the government no less than three times. They haven’t accomplished anything at all with a single one of these shutdowns, instead they’ve made people’s lives harder. They have put benefits they rely on, or paychecks they need into question really only to try and make a President look bad.
Now, that’s not on the President, that’s on them.
Better still, the same people who are doing this? They and the staffs they have working for them all continue to keep getting paid. The latest stunt with this bullshit at airports? Well, members of Congress BYPASS SECURITY so let’s just add insult to injury as they not only get their paychecks but they aren’t inconvenienced in the slightest by their own actions.
It takes a special kind of scumbag to pull a stunt like that.
And what is it they are actually against?
Oh, that’s right… they don’t like the fact that ICE agents are wearing masks.
Aren’t these the same people that were outraged and forcing everyone to wear masks just a few short years ago? Aren’t they the same ones defending people who are out there wearing masks at these >cough, cough< ‘peaceful’ protests when they are throwing rocks and other objects, setting fires and destroying property.
Or better still, they talk about wanting to hold ICE accountable to the law. This is even though Federal officers are not beholding to state laws beholding to them:
Federal law enforcement officers are generally immune from state law prosecution under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution when they are acting within the scope of their duties and their actions are "necessary and proper" to their federal functions. However, they are not exempt from state law, and can be prosecuted if they act outside their authority or commit crimes.
Yet, these are the same folks who ignore Federal Laws in the creation of ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions and not cooperating with ICE retainers. Oh and by the way? Just because you’re a citizen doesn’t mean you get to run over a Federal officer or be armed and fight with them when they stop you. Contrary to what people on the Left would like to use as their cause celebre.
Now, if Trump were a king I’d think he would be able to do what he wanted and just open and fund DHS but that isn’t the case at all.
The same people now will point to Iran and say Trump is acting like a KING but what’s funny is you can go back and see none other than Nancy Pelosi telling the world that Barack Obama didn’t need any Congressional Approval when he was doing the exact same thing in Libya:
President Barack Obama did not receive formal Congressional authorization for the 2011 military intervention in Libya. The Obama administration argued that authorization was not constitutionally required because the limited “kinetic” actions did not constitute a full-scale war or “hostilities” under the War Powers Resolution.
Funny how those same people have a different story today.
In the case of my friend, I didn’t press the matter and I didn’t even press a bunch of other things because really what’s the point. The thing here is I’m like a lot of people who feel the way I do and know you can’t have a discussion of any type with someone on the Left because of the meltdown that will ensue.
These folks that are out there with the whole ‘No Kings’ thing?
Bullshit.
Why?
THEY LOVE KINGS!!!!

Sure seems as if Democrats have absolutely no problem with any kings as long as they’re pumping money at Democrats.
So, when you call a protest ‘No Kings’ I call you out for lying. Just call it what it is, you’re an unhappy clown that is upset you didn’t get your way when the majority of the country voted against your candidate after four years of really crappy performance.
