Honestly? That kinda sounds like a formal invitation.
Honestly? That kinda sounds like a formal invitation.
It's a total invitation.
it’s just to boost his numbers. don’t fall for it.
Not if we bring the kazoos and big signs with pictures of Trump and Epstein.
No. Make like January 6 and don’t be there
Totally agree. Don’t play into that orange asshole’s plans.
Do not take his bait. Please discourage people from going to his vanity parade. Please.
Sure do
I'm accepting. With bells on!
THERE ARE PLANNED PROTESTS in DC ON June 14!“Multiple counter-protests of varying sizes are planned for Saturday, with the largest being a mass march to the White House”-AP [starting at noon][There is also an ongoing rally at Meridian Hill Park; Axios, reported May 15] www.wavy.com/news/politic...
Please don’t go to DC. Find another protest. Humiliate him with no protesters!
Stay away from it; pretend it doesn’t exist and let’s see what the attendance is…
He will have an audience which was ordered or paid to attend.
The best thing to do on Saturday is to stay local and stay away from his propaganda parade. Drop a sign from an overpass in your town. Go to the local "No Kings" event and bring some snacks and water. He's throwing himself a party and is afraid no one will come (so he's telling you not to).
This makes sense
Agree.
Can’t we just say no fascists? Australia, UK, Canada have a king and they are healthy democracies. Japan has an emperor, same. Trump is a fascist, more like Sadaam Hussein.
I dunno, donald loves optics and I just realized he's dumb enough to hold a parade in a town that voted 9:1 against him. I'm trying to imagine a more humiliating but incredibly peaceful sight than block after block of "trump's in the Epstein files" or "abolish ICE" signs at his own damned parade.
Or ... empty block after block with a few scattered groups of MAGA tourists trying to make it look like he is popular.
Yeah, he knows nobody else will be there and really wants to be able to pretend people love him. They’ll take pics of the protestors and talk about how large the parade crowd was. And if there is any “violence” he’ll use it to lock down DC (or establish an ongoing military policing force).
But also know this could make it easier for police to discover your secret identity. So, good trouble only, Spiderman!
Be Safe! Raise Heck!
You made me smile. Still not going, but I'll be looking for you all on Channel 4.
That would be amazing to see, and imagine how news broadcasters would cover it around the world. The colours of cosplay vs the black and khaki of ice and national guard
Exactly!!!
Charizard vs ICE
Brilliant. It's just brilliant. 👏 👏 👏
In these trying times, may I offer you a clown kissing a riot shield?
THIS. This is the original meaning of the Gadsden flag! It infuriates me that those douchey teabaggers stole it and I am damn well taking it back!
18.5 MILES of anti-scale portable fencing. 16 MILES of bike rack style barriers. MAGA critters everywhere you look. You convinced me, TACO.
I live close to a Metro station, and going would be no problem. I believe I'll go to Annapolis for this "No King" thing instead.
We stay home and protest locally so he can bask in the humiliation of no one showing up for his "hail to the king" parade.
It’s nothing if not a formal invitation.
AFAIK people are planning to be there anyway. What force is he gonna use? They’re all gonna be in the parade! I’ll be busy supporting my local LGBTQ+ community at Pride.
But seriously, I suspect he wants to have J6ers ambush the protesters. Because it's DC, he can have Jeanine Pirro decline to prosecute the ambushers.
The No Kings demonstrations are very specifically not in DC. Everyone needs to literally and symbolically turn their backs on his authoritarian wankfest.
Damn. Kinda wish I was in town.
Or, at the very least, a challenge
STRAIGHT UP
That's the last place I'd want to be.
Trump wants a fight to show how powerful he is!! Protesting his vanity parade is exactly what he wants! Ignoring his birthday bash is a better message!
He thinks he IS the country. He’s wrong.
He just wants to claim them all to boost his numbers, which is why the flagship No Kings event in s in Philadelphia rather than DC.
Decorate with fake chickens and bone spur signs everywhere!
Go and wave an American flag. The optics of arresting and shooting at the TRUE patriots who are fighting for constitutional rights….*chef’s kiss*
He wants to show off before he heads to the G7 on June 15. He needs cover in case no one shows up. He's competing against the Pope's event in Wrigley field the same day. The pole will be speaking remotely, it will be the Inauguration all over again. - who had the most people
Should I 24-year-old leave town
Yeah, it would be a shame to pass up an opportunity to rain on his parade
Rain is forecasted in D.C. on Saturday. Seriously. Also, I predict plagues and locusts as well.
We won't be watching or protesting at his fascist parade. We'll be protesting everywhere else. We'll tune in to the Pope and post pictures of Obama all over social media. We don't have to look at him.
It is the patriotic obligation of every citizen in DC this weekend to fill the streets and stop those tanks from moving
No Kings organizers are trying to keep folks away, but I really want to hold a sign that says, "US Army, Born to Resist Tyranny."
I'm hoping someone with the necessary savvy will find a way to post video of the countrywide protests on strategic buildings around DC (while the parade is going on).
I’ve got this vuvuzela that’s been collecting dust for years. I feel like it might get some use this Saturday…
Is that contagious?
I have no idea how to read your tone or respond to this… If you’re serious, then no. A vuvuzela is a noise maker. If you’re joking then…heh…it does sound like it would be, doesn’t it?
I am totally joking! Thank you for explaining
Good to know! Tone in text is always a tough one for me 😅
The parade will be boring. Or leave it alone in those grounds, have a party someplace, play music 🎶 DC
Exactly. This would have been a great opportunity for some of our music giants (Bruce and Taylor) to host a concert nearby to draw attention away from marching MAGATs.
Don't go to Trump's parade. It is an invitation - to violence - Trump would LOVE to shoot protesters on his special day. There are other protest events to attend at a safer distance.
If I stand there peacefully protesting and die, so be it. More problems for him.
Eventually, people will start shooting back.
Rather quickly once the shooting starts, I'd imagine.
FINALLY!!!
Could it be, this 2nd amendment we keep hearing about will finally be put to use?
My buddy said, "Sounds like a dare"! 86 34F 47
I wonder what would happen if the throngs of people expected to show up for this spectacle of a military parade, as the tanks roll by, turn their backs so as to ruin the spectacle. What if they didn’t cheer and show adoration, but laughed instead?
Here is the information and location of every protest on Saturday. None of them are in DC so find one close to you and be there! www.nokings.org
Are his ticket still available so we can get them and then not show up? Wouldn't that be great if a ton of people got his tickets and no one showed.
I believe its indivisible who is saying to stay away. That the plan has always been to have mass turnout all over the US. If you're in the DC area then find another event and specifically said philly as an alternative.
(sings) Taco, Taco Man He's gonna be a taco man...
I hope the woman's march stays safe.
I have plans elsewhere that day (No Kings). But I hope others will represent.
💯
"DC" - Don't Come #NoKings ❌👑
Be there. Will be wild!
And it’s exactly what it is.
Lol yes it does!
I didn’t think there were protests planned in DC??!!
Let the Republicans in Congress go to his parade. Trump has an itchy trigger finger to use the military to shoot someone.
Do not protest at the parade. Don't risk it. It's what he wants. Humiliate him everywhere else. Trump baby balloons everywhere else, pride flages, taco balloons, and taco trucks. Have fun, stay safe and stay the fuck away from the tanks. No need to make his dictator massacre wet dreams come true.
Please read👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
Yes a small crowd is what he deserves and what will hurt his ego the most 😆
Wouldn’t it be fitting if his big parade were as poorly-attended as his inauguration?
C'mon, they'll use terrible AI videos, badly doctored photos and/or just steal videos/pics from other parades to show how the "very big, the biggest crowd ever, probably the biggest in the world" attended his bad dictator cosplay. I would not be surprised if we see t-square doctored photos.
And they’ll be readily discredited.
It's going to be that either way
It is an invitation. Trump would love protesters to show up so he could show off his power. Don’t fall for it. Attend a No Kings rally and protest outside of D.C.
He doesn't have to worry--no one is going to DC on Saturday.
Don't go. We can all mock Taco Tank Boy from a distance, and in great numbers out in the streets.
YES!!! Give 'em HELL!!!
Exactly! It makes me want to show up with a BIG fucking sign with a big fucking middle finger on it!
Seriously, bring flag bedecked signs listing our rights under the constitution: freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, habeas corpus. No antis - just the rights we fought for in 1776. What will they do?
If you want to be mean, it would be so cool if someone could manage to broadcast that classic circus music (FYI it’s called Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik)
There are several lovely calliope renditions available on line. Just saying.
It totally is. The man is on a deadline to prevent the mid-term elections and will use all powers he has to stop them, starting with using the Insurraction Act. There us a reason has posted "Insurrection" to try and label events in LA.
Please don’t take as an invitation to go to it, everyone should take it as an invitation to make the protests around it as big as possible so his event looks even more sad in comparison. Not that I could go anyway but I wouldn’t give him what he wants
Go to a No King's rally instead. Do good trouble and don't put yourself in danger.
Heather Cox Richardson says it’s a show of weakness. I agree with her. If they really had the people behind them, they wouldn’t have to threaten us.
🤣🤣🤣✌🏼
It does sound like an invite/taunt to go to DC. Sounds like baiting. I say add your voice and presence elsewhere. Boycott the big baby’s bday bash.
Everyone should bring TACOs to eat on Saturday.
One demographic, highly concentrated, for miles. Like it’s Burning Man.
Of course they want people to show up. Just like they wanted the left to show up on January 6th.
An invitation to stay away.
made a facebook group thats PUBLIC..... basically..... well, the world will be watching
I got my ticket. get yours here events.america250.org/events/250th...
That's fantastic! My cat got a ticket. She heard there's be a lot of rats.
i used this www.bestrandoms.com/random-address to get a random address - i'm in europe.
Yes, closest historical match.
😂😂😂😂😂
😎
This parade will be the "Fuck around" stage. "Find out" comes next.
I had no intention of dignifying the event with my presence. But after this…
