Considering Trump's the only president to so blatantly weaponize the criminal justice system so far, there's no need to "both sides" this yet. You cant be serious now? How many court cases he faced since he started running for president? You get that he did the things, right? You do understand that, don’t you? Like the court found that he did rape that woman. He is, legally speaking, a rapist. That’s why he was in court for it. It’s not political, he just raped a woman and that’s illegal to do. "In March 2024, George Stephanopoulos of ABC News repeatedly made false statements that the jury found Trump liable for rape."

Have you read your own link to find out why they were false yet? Patiently waiting for an update.

Feels sorta quaint compared to the AI slop her boss has been posting lately.
Trump on Saturday evening posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social showing him wearing a crown at the stick of a warplane emblazoned with “King Trump.” It is shown bombarding liberal protesters with a poop-like substance in an apparent reference to the “No Kings” rallies that took place in numerous American cities earlier in the day.
“The president uses social media to make the point. You can argue he’s probably the most effective person who’s ever used social media for that,” Johnson said at a news conference Monday. “He is using satire to make a point. He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents.”
Johnson did not elaborate on what Trump’s point might have been.

Embarassing but par for the course. If you go back even 4 years it would be unimaginable for people in high level positions in government to speak like that. Its full idiocracy.
Uhm... Trump 1 was allready done 4 years ago.

Sean Spicer at least had the decency to hide from reporters in the bushes. Better times. More dignified.

yes.
here's him interning during the Bush years for his Trump job years later.

only by the time he worked for the Orange One the need for a costume to make a clown out of himself was gone. *cough*BiggestInaugurationCrowdInHistory*cough*

Two things that these protest are missing are being on normal business day and lasting several weeks at least. Maybe match the government shutdown in length.
|
Can normal americans afford to stay away from work? Or are they already poor enough so that they - theoreticly - could protest, but wouldn't .. since they need that weekly pay?
I try to stay up to date on what the Admin does:
And it doesn't look good.
- One call from Putin, and Ukraine is, again, asked to just give up.
- Random Boats get bombed by US military
- Shut Down ongoing - ICE and Ballrooms not affected
- Argentina bailout with ties to Investors/Businesspartners of Trump and Besset
- Epstein files lingering ... Prince Andrew lost the game of chicken
- Pardons for Fascists... DOJ on the hunt for "Trump enemies"
- New Tariffs?!!
- No new "Deals".

If they can't afford to protest, then I suppose they can afford fascism.

And the lack of worker rights in the US means you may get fired if you go out to protest.
I don't think its unreasonable to say there is a decently sized group of Americans who cannot afford to protest/strike.
