No Kings Oct 18. Who's going?

Where does Swizzle claim to be from?

California, offensively enough. He runs a regular thread on this forum listing all the things he hates about the place.

Ironic, isn't it?
He could immigrate here, to southern Indiana, and be surrounded by fellow teapartiers. But no, he wants to be Californian. He moved from UK to California, but all he can do is bitch about how terrible California is.
Typical immigrant...
He might as well be a Muslim in London.

He does seem to be experiencing a great deal of difficulty assimilating. Ironic, ain't it.

WeHo, no less! A notorious gay mecca, to hear pop culture tell it.

I know the Trumpaholics think the Pres. speaks boulders of truth about immigrants -- even though there is no subject on which he lies more extravagantly or frequently. I haven't yet heard a Trump supporter state how they feel about an American President posting a video of himself carpet-shitting on Americans who disagree with him. There really is no lowest limit to what they will accept from this repellent man.

Is there a paper called "The Daily Mail" in California? Are there no Murdock owned papers in California, for him to read? Dose he think the DM is more honest just because it's Btitish?

No, if I had to guess, I'd say he thinks it is more honest because their stories reinforce his worldview, and the distinction between news agency and tabloid is slightly better obscured across a culture boundary. The Daily Mail is the UK's New York Post more or less, but he seems to thinks it is more like the UK's Washington Post.

It’s quite amusing to read the “no kings” crowd on here standing up and protesting about something, it’s not clear exactly what but back in 2020 and 2021 when decrees from government arbitrarily closed businesses, schools, forced people to wear masks, hounded people out of their jobs for refusing to get “vaccinated”, not only were they silent but they were on the side of the authoritarian control freaks. No wonder you don’t get taken seriously.

The data is clear. Republican behavior carries at least twice the Covid risk as Democrat behavior. Therefore your behavior is causing at least 20,000 deaths/year.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

In 2020/2021, some 1.29 million Americans died of Covid and that was WITH all the restrictions that a certain someone objects to.

And that's certainly an undercount. The problem is excess deaths are statistical in a nature, small signals will not be detected. So it's 1.29 million plus the noise. And the deaths continue--Covid is officially in the 11th position now, but I have a very hard time believing the same forces that caused undercounting before aren't still at work.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

This very well might be "true". Think about it--we see the same accusations of black-clad trouble-making "protesters" that are often disowned by the actual protesters. What's the simplest explanation for the pattern? False flag. Maybe knowing, maybe unwitting dupes.

Antifa has uniforms?

Absolutely.

Yeah. Some idiot who thought it would be a fun spoof. The interviewer doesn't get the joke. I am worried for the idiot. We should nominate the guy for a Darwin award.

So if you are a Republican you can improve your risk profile simply by voting for the Democrat.

I am now a paid protester.

(I was reminded of this by a few posts about giving, in the 'rounded pennys' thread)

Back in Nov. on election day, I was out at my local poll, with my 4 signs.
One says "Republicans are killing me - I NEED medicare" (An exaggeration, and long story)
During the day, 3 different people each gave me $5. I tried to tell them 'I don't want money, I want your vote'.
But it's a small town. It would be rude to refuse a gift.
So there it is. I'm a paid protester. I made $15 for 8 hours of protesting. I've lost my amateur standing.

 

[unapologetic]

I have heard there is another rally planned for March 28, 2026.
Anybody have more info?

The minimum wage/hour is quite low in the US it seems.

At least people read the Daily Mail

Yesterday, the Washington Post’s executive editor, Matt Murray, informed more than 300 of the paper’s 800 journalists that their jobs were being cut. The decimation of the newsroom is the latest round of layoffs under the ownership of billionaire Jeff Bezos.

• In June 2025, WaPo’s circulation fell below 100,000 for the first time in 55 years.
