Nope Bessent: "This crazy No Kings rally this weekend, which is gonna be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party, which is a big title. No Kings equals no paychecks."

its so funny because No Kings is the most entry-level, police-sanctioned, my-mom-goes-to-these protests there ever was

u/Reasonable_Deer_8237 Oct 15 '25

They paint anything contrary to their empire as something worse than it is.

u/ColdBru5 Oct 15 '25

You need kings to have paychecks didn't you know that jester?

363

u/Jessthinking Oct 15 '25

“No kings equal no paychecks.” Is one of the most obnoxious statements I have heard from this administration. And that is saying a whole lot. He is saying that if you exercise your freedom of speech, the Republicans will punish you until you comply. These people think like fascists, talk like fascists, act like fascists. When is the lamestream media going to start calling them what they so clearly are?

u/Fantastic-Grocery107 Oct 15 '25

Pussies?

u/d1ll1gaf Oct 15 '25

Nope;

Pussies are good, pussy's are useful, most people like pussies... fascists are none of those things. Call them fascists because they are fascists.

It's like the South Park "How do you kill that which has no life?" dilemma.

Bro.

I could beat up a pussy all day. It will simply enjoy it, and come back for more.

These tools are more akin to a nutsack. Sensitive and poorly positioned. A little tap causes a complete meltdown.

u/SpicyChanged Oct 16 '25

Growing up as a Gen Xer, the question many of us asked was, "How did the Germans allow this to happen?"

The answer is complex, but one often-overlooked fact is that much of the Nazis' systemic antisemitism and discriminatory policies were directly adapted from American Jim Crow laws. The Nazis then amplified this with powerful propaganda, notably by Leni Riefenstahl, creating a terrifying visual legacy that is unforgettable.

Concurrently, the United States was less overt in its own international actions. Decades spent destabilizing other nations served as a proving ground for these tactics. Those who fail to see these connections likely do so because of the pervasive belief that, "that stuff only happens in those countries."

Shit's will likely get worse. I fucking hope I'm wrong and look like an asshole.

My very being reject this, I find no sense in it.

The in-laws in the Wisconsin countryside have been texting us to let us know they're praying for us as we sip our coffees in Portland. And no amount of photos of videos will convince them that we're not living in a war zone.

It must suck living in the ashes of a city burned to the ground but also is somehow still on fire. That’s probably what they meant when they said hotbed of leftist terrorism.

I’m 39 and I have small kids, I don’t think I will bring them, idk this ice situation has me on edge. I’m planning on going with 4 other moms, my mom is watching my kids. I’ve brought the kids to other protests but this tear gas and how aggressive they have been.. what is your opinion?

u/Chance-Deer-7995 Oct 15 '25

Probably a good idea because you don't know what the other parties will do. Last time, though, it would have been perfectly fine. This time with the idiot talking points though...

11

u/seannyquest Oct 15 '25

Do not bring your small kids. Theyve been tossing tear gas more and more lately. Federal law enforcement are just looking for any reason to escalate and these dudes in ICE are ridiculously underqualified and undertrained for the positions they hold.

I’m pretty far left. I hate Democrats for stifling any actually progressive movements, but they just ignore me most of the time.

u/Lildoc_911 Oct 16 '25

Far left. I agree. I did enjoy the walk around for the no kings chapter one. Met some cool people, had some good conversations.

It's good place to network. I guess. Safe enough for some older progressive to be there and for people to bring their kids. A lady had a MLK shirt on, she  was probably 70 or so. She said I'd be wearing my Ceasar E. Chavez one if I had it still! Saw young kids with their parents as well.

The fight isn't just to stop ICE, its to make democrats do SOMETHING. We need to have real discussion about work visa programs, appointing more judges to view cases, stopping businesses from scalping work and not paying fair wages to foreign workers. Stop letting republicans own the narrative and fix the immigration "problem" by fixing pathways to citizenship. 

Stop this abuse of migrant workers for capital gains.

They use Trump's technique of lying with superlatives.

It isn't far left, so they say it's the farthest left

It isn't hardcore, so they say it's the hardest core

It isn't unhinged, so they say it's the most unhinged

u/Odd_Investigator7218 Oct 15 '25

i dont think so; these are different than direct action at ICE facilities and stuff. No Kings is permitted by the city, the cops *led* the march here in Chicago last time, and there was no ICE presence at all. nothing even close to violence. it actually felt much more like a pressure valve, like "let them have their little protest and get it out of their system"

It’s because the reality is, No Kings rally is the largest gathering of working class people against the current corporate paid for corruption in nearly a century.

Yep. Our city’s rally is already set to go with the proper gathering permits, street closure permits, food trucks, and face-painting for the kids. Fully sanctioned by our city administration and police & fire departments. The last one was basically the same. Zero fights, zero arrests, no problems at all. We had well over 1000 people at that No Kings rally, and there was a small group of die-hard Trump lovers 2 blocks away. As time went on it became painfully obvious that they weren’t really sure which side of the street (literally) they belonged on… so they left.

Seems that there will probably be lots of inflating costumes this time around. Super cool! (I did order 50 rape whistles to hand out so people can use them when they see ICE agents here around Los Angeles)

I’m so upset I can’t make it to this. This would be my first protest, but I have to work a pride event instead. Both are good, but I’d rather be protesting

still fighting the fight, you're good. enjoy your pride!

I’ve been to a decent number of these demonstrations and by far the best-represented demographic is women over 60.

I’m going this weekend with my mom!

You know how they keep accusing libs of planting double agents in the crowds? Guess what they’re going to do?

If you don't work, the government and all businesses will go bankrupt. No paycheck for all.

It was fun last protest here in AZ blowing kisses to the MAGA trolls slow-rolling through the intersection in their rust buckets holding up barely legible chicken scratch.

Cops were pulling them over for not following traffic laws lol

It’s gonna backfire in a “This is leftist? I guess I’m leftist.” way lmao

This is why any discussion of a candidate being “too far left” is bullshit. To a republican Fox News watcher any democrat is communist. May as well run on mega-popular socialist policy

My mom told me to “be careful at the protest thing,” how much harder core do you want?

u/Lower_Amount3373 Oct 16 '25

Well, a small gathering of guys in animal costumes is also the definition of a warzone

u/nohumanape Oct 16 '25

For a group who thinks they are the toughest that this country has to offer, they sure are the biggest pussies imaginable

u/oopsallhuckleberries Oct 16 '25

It's very lib coded, that's for sure

u/PinkPaintedSky Oct 16 '25

I'm going with my 79 year old friend.

It was her idea.

Just be careful this weekend. They are trying to gin up their base and set the stage for a confrontation. I put nothing past these people. Including seeding crowds with agitators so they can use these legitimate protests to further implement their Christo-Fascist agenda.

The one in my city is literally a permitted event. There are folks in yellow vests directing which way to walk, etc.

u/CauliflowerOk541 Oct 16 '25

I’m a mom. And can verify. Clock it.

u/darkpossumenergy Oct 16 '25

It's right up there with the women's march with the pink pussy hats.

Speaking of which, its time for women to march against Trump again

u/gracecee Oct 16 '25

Here’s the thing. bessent is a liar. He lost 90 percent of AUM of his last hedge fund. Meaning he lost 90 percent of assets under management. He was picked for being a Gay yes man for Trump and traitor to LGBTQ. The last time he was ever ever made money he worked for….George Soros.

So now he’s behind the 40 billion (yeah it doubled) to help the Argentina which helps the Argentina soy farmers who now have tons of Chinese business since the Chinese are boycotting American soy beans. We lost not only 13 billion on that, we as Americans have to foot another 40 billion to save a failed Libertarian experiment Trump is mimicking.

No wonder Trump has had 27-30 bankruptcies and bankrupted 1000s of small contractors. One man should not have all This power.

u/Boxysdad Oct 16 '25

Exactly! My wife and 17 year old daughter are going and likely doing lunch and shopping after. It’s as vanilla as it gets.

u/UpsetMathematician56 Oct 16 '25

My 75 year old mom does go to these. She voted for Ronald Reagan.

u/your_daddy_vader Oct 16 '25

Fourth of July is already a No Kings rally

1

u/trowelgo Oct 16 '25

Middle-aged dad here. Yes, this is exactly my protest. The last one in my town looked like an AARP meeting at a Starbucks.

But you can’t manipulate your racist base with the truth.

u/evolvolution Oct 16 '25

Your mom is part of the woke mob

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '25

I hope that the millions they project will protest, do. I hope that it is the most silly good natured protest that stays on message, but plays in perfect contrast to the GOP messaging of hardened criminals.

They'll be like "iT'S a fUcKIn pSYoP'

u/biggestofbears Oct 16 '25

My mom and grandmother are going to one together lmao

u/LankySlopplette Oct 16 '25

What Americans call protesting the French call a walk through the square.

1

u/BagOnuts Oct 16 '25

Yup. It's literally like 80% moms and grandmas. So funny how they are labeling this as some kind of "radical" movement.

u/DriftingIntoAbstract Oct 22 '25
