The good people of LA need to go home for a bit, to force Trump to look like an idiot for overreacting in a bizarre way. Then, when the military is gone, hit the streets in entirely PEACEFUL protests about EVERYTHING in this vile administration. It is not worth allowing Trump to turn your city into an armed hellhole.

I like the “tactic” of just sit down, shut up, stare straight ahead, don’t move….that makes a statement and is totally non-violent !

LFG! While I do not condone violence or destruction of property, I do believe that we must fight fire with fire. Be smart and be heard! We will not lose our democracy without a fight & they underestimate this! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

There are over 1500 protests planned for this Saturday all around the US outside of DC. Donnie-two-dolls doesn't want any competition for his birthday si he's trying to intimidate us so we stay home and watch his birthday parade. He also called in the Marines. Where did our right to assemble peacefully and our right of free speech go? We must show up and not rise to the bait.

Baby Donnie, needs to learn how to talk and act like a president. I know he thinks he is a king, but kings don't live in the US. He needs to get rid of the diapers, pull up his pants like a big boy and start doing what a president does. Of, course, we all know that he won't do that. He is not capable of being a real president, nor is he even capable of being a king. He's the most uncapable excuse for a human being that I have ever seen. He wants us all under his thumb, doing what he says, wiping his ass and being his slaves. I, for one, have no intention of ever doing that. I want to fight him, fight for our freedom and get him and all of his goonies out of the WH. They have given the WH such a bad name, along with our country. We are not those people. We are good, we don't destroy what is good and lie about it. We want all peoples as our neighbors and want everyone to have rights. We want to honor our Constitution and we want to live in peace with everyone protected. We want the world to know that we want this regime gone now. We want to rebuild and heal from what has been forced upon us. We want our country back. God Bless.

Don is incapable of growing up and acting like an adult. It is literally impossible for him to do that. Infantilism is in his DNA.

The orange fuck is a narcissist, pure and simple. Subscribe to Mary Trump’s Substack. She knows him as well as Michael does. I’ve had enough of this orange monster and we still have three years of his daily bullshit!

No, he can't. He always has to have someone else do his dirty work for him, except when it comes to money then he doesn't want anyone else touching it. All he sees out of his eyes, are $ signs, golf courses (they have balls and he should borrow some of them and borrow some for Johnson, too), and now, I suspect bloodshed. I hope I am wrong.

"We’re entering a very dark chapter in American history, one where the presidency is weaponized not just rhetorically, but militarily." We HAVE entered the dark chapter of the story. I'd like to tear this chapter out!

Our future will not be decided on subbstack . We need community based activism, where is the plan?

Thank You Michael .. You have put in writing what we all know is happening. One thing you wrote that helps me this a.m. is how important it is that it gets pushed back now .. I am afraid for all the protestors in LA .. Part of me wants them to go home because I don't want them to get hurt. You are right. I will be going to the No KIngs protest with my sign on Saturday .. I'm ready for what ever comes.

I know this crowd requires no convincing, but for those who need more clarity than Mr. C.'s observations & predictions. Please share with friends and family to watch these movies. The names have been changed to protect the incident:

Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace (1999)

Star Wars: Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones (2002)

Baron Von Shitsinpants stands on the shoulders of age-old tyranny, harnessing the good to do bad things. As it applies to our "real-time," thanks to the work of an American writer, Joseph Campbell, and others, humanity's greatest 250-year-old experiment in knowledge, self-governance, and coalescence, for the greater good of society, may once again fall in the name of religion. As it occurred in the loss of the Library of Alexandria, History (the truth) teaches that dictators (Cesar) and conflicts of religious interest (guess) were the final demise of the knowledge lost. May the force be with us all. (@)

You are absolutely correct on every thing. This, in my opinion, will backfire on him as everything else has. He's concerned over the protests this weekend coming, that his parade won't won't make him look like a strong and powerful leader, not only here in America but worldwide who covers these protests far more then are own media does. The opposite of what he's striving for is going to happen, more and more people will be out there. He can't stop them all.

Born in 1948, the same year as Israel, I very well remember Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan and the 6-Day War. I also realize we as a nation have debased and embarrassed ourselves many times over the years, but we always try to learn, to grow, to atone, and work to do better. You know that struggle, Michael, and you are inspiration to everyone one of us. In my opinion, the worst thing thing that ever happened to Israel is Netanyahu.

Thank you for the straight talk and for taking us on a trip through trumps brain and psyche. It's terrifying. And I'm angry.

I was able to do a year’s subscription to Michael’s substack and he very quickly sent me a signed and numbered copy of his book, Revenge. It’s so well written. With Trump back in office, there will be so many more Michael Cohen’s. Will there be enough lawyers and will our courts hold?

His allies will learn the hard way that, like Hitler, being his friend is as dangerous as being his enemy. You are the expert on that, Mikey.
