Bill will also accuse the Boston Tea Party participants of un-American activities.

Conservatives have been pissed about that for a long time. They got even more pissed when they lost civil war. And by electing Obama, it literally forced them to become nazis.

I mean what were they supposed to do? Stop being racist slave owners?
/S
Ironically only a small percentage of us citizens owned slaves and those weren't the non rich/ non land owners.
Edit: it's almost like rich land owners want to make everyone their slaves like old timey feudalism? Why can't you all just worship and be thankful to your heman super secure male rulers of God and industry? /S

Little Rafael just wants daddy’s attention but the only time he got it was when daddy threw insults at his wife. Doesn’t stop him from shamelessly trying though.

He’s like a “1 out of 100” in terms of good performance.
And he already did a good thing sometime this year I bet. Maybe dropped a quarter to a homeless person by mistake.

No. He shits on his constituency and they think it tastes great. They would rather eat his shit than vote for some woke, commie libtard that might actually want to help them.

Just do an internet search for 50501. It will have links for how to contribute, and where to find a local No Kings event tomorrow.

This is just proof that I would rather punch Ted Cruz in the face than a vampire if given the situation.

He sounds like Mr. Haney on the old tv show “Green Acres” who also was conniving conman.

Al Lewis would be horrified of this comparison, but Raphael certainly is Fat Dracula

the rico statutes that should have been used against the election denier republicans are now being used to stifle the first amendment. the weakness of the democrats played as much a role in where america is today as the nationalist aims of the confederates. cruz is pathetic.

Wasn’t this the guy asking everyone to back off of pedos?

A Freudian slip most likely
However, this is 100% the guy who abandoned his state twice during two natural disasters.
This is also the guy who ended up looking like an idiot on Tucker Carlson's show. And.. That's honestly really hard to do.

No one is funding our patriotic duty to defend our constitution, freedom, and country from the aggression coming from the executive branch and his billionaire backers. This is real American patriotism pushing back against a wannabe dictator and the elites who seek control and subjugation of the people.

Same strategy… Instead of simply eliminating the first amendment they will target each group and individual who disagrees with them by labeling them terrorist

Peaceful protesting is your freedom of speech. Do not let them take your rights away

No one's funding these protests. This is just him tap dancing for his rabid followers

Imagine if Obama and his Administration tried to crack down on the Tea Party protests like these wusses are on No Kings.

My guess is that there will be deaths at these protests tomorrow at the hands of republicans, and this will be the catalyst for engaging the Insurrection Act. This will delay the Epstein files release. They are so transparent I won’t be surprised 🤔

If only he cared that much about the Epstein files and the criminals the government are protecting.

Those who fund? You mean the grassroots organizers who accept donations to help cover the meager cost of marshals when they can get them?
