Just handle it like a Kent State situation instead, that solves it.

Don Drump

Our constitution gives us the right for peaceful demonstration. MAGA wants to take your rights away and give them to Putin. Wake Up

Max DeYoung

Illegal aliens, do not have that right. The Constitution is for citizens, not invaders...

Zaos Gonzolez

The 14th Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,..." The Supreme Count needs to define personhood and jurisdiction to answer the question. More than likely, criminal aliens are not subject to the jurisdiction.

Bobbi Meyer

Protesting is an American right and protected by the first amendment of the United States Constitution. Every American has the right to address congress of their grievances.

Max DeYoung

Zaos Gonzolez

Actually, The 14th Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,..." The Supreme Count needs to define personhood and jurisdiction to answer the question. More than likely, criminal aliens are not subject to the jurisdiction.

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

Steve Baumann

Please provide specifics. Never mind, we already know you can't.

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.

Max

We don't have a democracy. We have a Constitutional Republic. Everyone knows that.

Fred

Don't confuse the maga lemmings with facts. Even now, they probably don't have a clue what Project 2025 is all about.

Steve Baumann

We want to fix what was broken by Obama. The Biden era was horrific for our country, it stuns me anyone can condone that, much less think Kamala is qualified for squat.

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.

John Rinck

Trump and his regime are breaking Constitutional rules like they're trying to set a record. They've set one. Most corrupt group of people in the history of America.

Tina Mann

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

Steve Baumann

He was ELECTED and stop whining, we put up with far worse, it's time to fix it.

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.

Zachary Haupt

These are the same people that would go out and smash out police cars windows and put them on fire if a police involved shooting happened here. Just like the people who are in the picture are no different than the rioters who destroyed many towns and cities in the United States.

Richard Winkel

I don't think these people know what they're protesting.

Max

It's not welfare, unless they want more.

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.

Kings are unfit to rule the US. We are not, nor do we ever want to be, a Monarchy. Obama was our best recent President, a real President who acted like one, and I would not have him King. No Kings. Never.

Steve Baumann

Obama, the President who gave an airplane full of pallets of American cash to Iran? Obama does not come up on any lists of great presidents.

Jasmine

Obama and Biden rule trump, always will, I can prove it. trump continually brings up Obama and Biden, as no other President has done, because they live in his head as his superiors, frustrating him. Most Presidents are too busy running the country to be bothered with talk about their predecessors.

Max DeYoung

Biden was the worst in history.

Max DeYoung

Obama was the second worst president in history, thanks to Biden. They both bailed Carter out.

Sara Kalinowski

We deserve to take a stand as long as it's not harmful to others. If MAGA could protest the way they did, then our peaceful protest should be just fine. We the People didn't agree to a king, who can just go out and do what he wants, no matter what.

Max DeYoung

If Trump was the King, he would not tolerate activist judges nor silly protests. Think about what you are claiming.

Kevin Reed

With the current administration willfully ignoring court rulings, and acting lawlessly, these protests are a necessary step in voicing discontent.

Max DeYoung

Trump obeys every simple activist judge, until an appeals court overturns their illegal decision.

If Trump was a King, he would not have allowed the protesters to assemble. But, that's too hard for the Left to understand, and it doesn't fit the narrative. LOL

Steve Baumann

I voted no because I am stunned anyone has the time to dedicate to such a seemingly petty concern in the real world of adult humans. Locally, yes, I have heard that we have a problem with what appears to be "Kings and Queens" running the city and infecting the country government.
