If they did what they think it will sure, but it won't. It will cost money and prevent nothing. Growing government is bad mmmkay.

John Deakins

Will not change anything, a waste of taxpayer money. How long have we tried to prevent spousal abuse with counseling, arrests, etc and it does not stop.

Steve Baumann

We need less government. It's not working, it's not the answer. Defund the bureaucracy, not the police

Bill Douglas

The state needs a program to prevent UM engineering school techno-nerd graduates from getting jobs synchronizing stoplights and designing things like roundabouts etc And keep their flag burning anti-American “new innovative road designs” out of Republican counties in Missouri. LOCK THEM UP!!

Max

Columbia has a Police Department. If the prosecutor and the courts supported them, crime would decrease a great deal.

They don't want Kings, they want their authoritarianism back, which is what they didn't get when their failed appointed candidate who never got a single primary vote, was attempted to be installed as their continued fascist leader.

Chris Macy

Trump & his evil minions are shredding the constitution

Max

Millions protested, proving that there are No Kings in the USA. Thank you for protecting our President Donald J. Trump. We appreciate that so very, very much. Donald also thanks you. Bless all of your little hearts.

Jenny Mummert

The 2025 document, which took years to create, says it all. We are losing the rule of law and our rights under this administration. I believe Trump is a puppet for the far right conservatives who want to alter or destroy our democracy.

Republicans are trying to democracy.

Laura Cochran

Trump needs to go! Save Democracy!

Max

We have a Federation, Presidential system, Constitutional republic, Federal republic. We do not have a democracy, and we have never had a democracy. Go to school, and learn.

Max

Trump won the popular vote. That's democracy. LOL He also won all six swing states, and 95% of the counties in the USA.

Tina Mann

To protect the US Constitution and our Democracy from hostile takeover by our current administration.

Max

There is no democracy in the USA. Educate yourself.

The only thing being protested here is Trump's landslide victory- spoiled children throwing fits, because they didn't get their way.

Fat Guy Outdoors

I just take witness to who join these protests. I know very soon the majority will die of old age, the rest are lazy and allergic to responsibility and accountability. So they will tear each other apart. Let them expose themselves.

Steve Baumann

These people are progressive socialist aka communist. Also anti semitism seems to run deep with them. Some have laughed and joked about the death of Charlie Kirk, many of these people are flat out evil. Others, nothing more than useful idiots.I can never agree with them. The represent nothing good

Toasty

Where were these 'no kings' protests during the Obama/Biden admin? There was fascism and borderline dictatorship policies being pushed (green new deal, electric car mandates, gun confiscations, suppression of free speech, etc) and silence. Trump is not a king, so stop acting like a serf.

Zaos Gonzolez

Donald will be your King whether you like it or not.

Max

Donald is more powerful than a King, because he was elected, in a massive landslide vote, that was not fixed.
