While Trump saluted empty grandstands and cut birthday cake with generals, millions of Americans hit the streets to remind him this isn’t a monarchy; yet.
I wanted to make a comment about the military parade. I know we’ve seen the videos where they’re just walking and not marching and not in exact formation and that was on purpose. A grandmother of a army soldier said that they did that on purpose because of their opposition of the reason for the parade. It was their defiance to show that they do not serve a king! Well done service members well done.💙❤️🤍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes I saw something about that too. I am so happy for that..no goose stepping which is what the shithead wanted. Of course he will lie about it ..I caught the very end of his speech it was horifying .. It should be the lead story ..
I was so relieved by it as it is a strong indication that the military is not solidly supporting him. I just about spit out what I was drinking when I saw the soldiers saunter-marching to, and singing along with CCR‘s Fortunate Son - holy shit, HOLY SHIT!!!!
After reading that Donald Chump is going to target the core democratic cities and saying that we hate our country I’m sickened once more. I knew it would get bad, but the absolute fiction he spews must stop. This man has no soul. Go fuck your self you two pump chump. I mean Trump. I’m sickened that we allowed this to happen. We need everyone who protested to also vote and register or encourage your friends to do the same. We still have a participatory democracy, but to keep it, we must participate 😊. Thank you Michael for being a great voice of reason and although you don’t have to , thank you for waking up every day and fighting this madman.
I really wish that soassasime of our wonderful insiders like you Michael and Lev and others would talk about the fact that the news media keeps stating that there were 2 assassination attacks on Trump when they report the killing of Democrats in office. We all know they were fake and pre-rehursed. Why not report the truth. He's not a martyr and I'm getting sick every time I hear that nonsense when real Senators and Congress members are murdered, attacked and threatened.
Every day I start to loose more faith in our news media and my countries government.
I agree three word slogans will work. What I don't want to see is democrats fighting with each other ..that will be a quick road to another loss. The idea that we should push people out of blue seats that are safe seats because they are not messaging properly is stupid. It feels like a long way to the 2026 election now.. but I will do my best to support candidates and hope for the best.
I believe that Trump sent the Marines and Nat'l Guard to LA, to overtake our state, get rid of Governor Newsom and our elected officials and replace them with his Billionaires, who are already Silicon Valley guys .for the most part He has pretty much declared war on the Democrats and will try to crush each blue state, which by the way support his red states. I think it's time to bring Stephen Miller to the forefront. He's the brains, or lack of, behind all this. Trump isn't intelligent enough to execute all of this but that sicko Miller is. Do to him what was done to Musk, keep the news attention on him and make him enemy #1. We already know what a fool Trump is so let the Americans know who the real danger is and destroy him.
Watched your chats this weekend, you looked so down. I hope you’re past all that crap, for now. I was heartened to learn - no news to some- from those from the military who knew best- that the soldiers’ shuffling gait was no misstep but a protest. They drilled for days earlier and nailed it, so at showtime they showed us how they felt about the whole thing.
Right on, Michael. I do not listen to media news nor do I watch any tv stations that don't support the truth. I think if all of us refused to turn the tv to these stations for one month and told them why we were not watching their channel, then we might make a difference in their ratings. Maybe then we might get some real news. It's summertime, turn off the tv, go outside and enjoy the weather. I do not have cable, but a small antenna that brings in local stations, which don't tell the truth, so if I want (need) to watch something I use firestick to bring in channels that are not news stations. YouTube has a lot to watch.
I do not own a TV. I get my news on my laptop: Michael, Lev, Kathleen, Wendy, Jack, and many other sane people. The Guardian, Reuters and, occasionally, NYT and WAPO, just for grins and giggles. And NPR. Watching TV gives me a headache. Michael, you are a constant inspiration. Thank you.
I didn't watch it either. What I did see was on Meidas+ I won't add to his ratings, either and don't want to add ratings to the stations that won't tell the truth.
That's the spirit Michael. No Kings protests were so uplifting. The one that we participated in was just great. Over 2000 in Gettysburg. People looked happy, proud and prepared to continue with protests as long as necessary. We didn't want it to end! Onward! ✌️❤️
I'm concerned. Why are we trying to motivate voters when we don't have anything to vote on yet? Can we sustain this for a year & a half? Shouldn't we be doing some real work?Contacting our reps, demanding they do their jobs & stand up for us on the media? Writing letters to the remaining newspapers? Commenting on all federal rule proposals? These protests are starting to look like parties for seeing who has the cutest costumes & the cleverest signs.
Michael Cohen, you say: "The question is: Will we follow it up with action? Or will we post a few selfies and go back to sleep, while the other side keeps organizing, donating, voting?"
You are spot on to warn that after millions have peacefully demonstrated against fascism, and have shown strength ready for use, we'll wait for "someone to do something" as a follow up. It won't just happen by itself, but the fascists will surely get on with lying and coercion to build more power. To avoid this, the follow-up has to be strong, and probably risky, legal action to stop fascism, and you're the man to recruit people to help you put together such a solid plan of action.

Happy Father's Day, Mr. C. Excellent three-word slogans. Four words too:
Tariffs Are Taxes.
Consumers Pay Tariffs.
We Deserve Better.
Respect Our Veterans.
Protect Our Kids.
(My favorite) No Kings. No Lies.

(I couldn't even find the right words).
Minor phone using wrong word supposed to say someone
No one talks about our dismal situation as eloquently or insightfully as Michael Cohen.
Michael,
With the multitudes of lies the President produces, what liability does he take on? Can he be sued? significantly?

IT was a Beautiful Thing, Michael. History was made, Onward and Upwards 💪 Thank you, and will reStack ASAP 🙏

Yes.
Here’s what we need to do: 3 word slogans like;
Tariffs Are Taxes.
Consumers Pay Tariffs.
We Deserve Better.
Respect Our Veterans.
Protect Our Kids.
No Kings. No Lies.

I wouldn't even watch the parade because I didn't want to add to his ratings. I caught video segments later.

So how do we get the DNC and Corporate Media to listen? Put them on our contact list?
Tell Hegseth? 😆
