Pissbaby Republicans Freaking Out Over Upcoming No Kings Rallies

[Zorro]

Soros! Paid protesters! And other cliches.

Gosh, everyone, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is so upset. What’s got our nation’s most powerful Keebler elf’s nards in a vise? Did his phone alert his kid that he was watching jackalope porn? (As a side note, those two might want to consider a different app for monitoring each other’s masturbation habits.) Did someone outlaw buttermilk biscuits and ham? Is he sad because he is three feet tall, and standing next to John Thune makes it look as if it is “Take Your Nephew to Work Day” on Capitol Hill?

No, no, none of that, so far as we know. What Johnson is mad about — blood-boilingly, cheeks-reddeningly, steam visibly emanating from his ears like Butch the dog in an old Tom and Jerry cartoon mad about — is that the Democrats won’t reopen the government before the No Kings rallies next weekend. Or, as Johnson calls them, the Democrats’ “Hate America” rallies on October 18, for which they are selling T-shirts. That last part seems to particularly offend the Keebler elf.

Why, he’s so mad he marched right over to his office on his stubby little legs and cancelled all House business for next week so legislators can take a few more days off. Also, in what we’re sure is a giant coincidence, it delays any sort of vote to release all the Epstein files. That’ll show ‘em.

Here in reality, there are a couple of points to make. The first is that, as Mike Johnson damn well knows, the Republicans don’t need the Democrats to reopen the government. The Senate GOP is welcome to nuke the filibuster anytime it wants, thereby lowering the threshold for passage from 60 to 50 votes, and pass the House continuing resolution. Presto, the government is funded for at least the next few weeks.

Republicans don’t have the stones to nuke the filibuster on funding bills. Or they are perfectly fine with this shutdown, which they continue to think is going to eventually sink the Democrats’ approval ratings so low that they will cave. Or some combination of all of that.

Of course the Republicans could also sit down and negotiate with the Democrats … ha ha ha ha ha ha oh we have fun. They don’t want a deal. Besides, with them having decided that rescissions by the president are totally fine, what would be the point? The Democrats are going to sit down, negotiate a compromise, and then watch as the Republicans ignore the deal and let the president cut whatever funding he wants? Even Democrats don’t seem interested in letting Republicans step all over them.

We know, it’s weird to us too.

1. There is an agenda behind their talking point to label Oct 18th

as "Hate America" rallies.

They refuse to refer to the protests as NO KINGS.

But more importantly they are trying to frame a narrative that depicts us as hating America, rather than loving our Democracy and loving the Constitution and loving the Rule of Law.

The RepugniCONS are delivering the same kind of dangerous propaganda that faux and notnewsmax have been spewing for years. They are inciting anger and violence toward Dems and what they call "the libs". I expect the propaganda feedback loop on RW media to be especially amped up this week.

2. When they see numbers in the streets they will be scared

I’m just nervous they will bring out ICE Gestapo to terrorizeus. My husband will be out of town and I’m going by myself and going to be a little nervous.

3. Gotta love the fine use of words coming out of Wonkette!

Not only filling us in on the repuglicon shenanigans, but having fun doing it!

6. "...and everyone make sure to track your hours and email your timecards...

in immediately upon completion of the rally if you want Mr. Soros to pay you in a timely manner.”
Love Wonkette and DU.

btw,
RESIST!
Also, btw:
I AM NOT DISTRACTED
WHERE ARE THE
EPSTEIN FILES!

4. I've always had strong disagreements with Republicans, but I never thought I'd see the day when they

would declare that being against fascism and absolute monarchy is "anti-american." Unbelievable. Even for Republicans.

5. He doesn't want to open up the Government because then he would have to

swear in Vote #218 and displease his Master.. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

7. I'm attending our No Kings rally in my town anyway, but we should be on the lookout for the crazies.

Especially the ones who would use their monster trucks to run us down or whatever. If they get riled up enough, one or more of them will do something like this against us.

Be safe out there!

8. I believe the republican rhetoric is intended

to incite violence against the demonstrators. This is truly despicable.

I will be there anyway.

[FakeNoose]

9. I don't understand why they should be freaking out over this

Don't they believe in Freedom of Speech, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution?

Those are the things they love to discuss when they talk about how they're the "Party of Law and Order."

10. Be Safe 10/18/25

I'll be at the one in San Diego. The one before was quite peaceful and lots of smiles in the crowd. But as time passes with more lawless actions taken by the Trump regime, we must be more vigilant for agents provocateurs and false flag ops used to discredit all protestors. We know this must be their next move because they have already labeled us as anti-American. Trump needs to manufacture a reason for use of force against all who protest against his regime. If you notice the threat of such action building among unusually aggressive people, try to document this as you leave the area at the earliest possible moment. Do not engage or interact with them in any way. Be particularly watchful around any masked people dressed all in black cosplaying as "antifa soldiers" because genuine anti-fascists would know not to do this. They would know it is counterproductive to the cause because of previous negative press reports calling people wearing that costume, "violent anarchists." And don't overlook the strong possibility that there may be paid agitators funded by right wing nuts. Trump and his supporters often repeat lies about George Soros paying protestors and this may actually be an admission by projection of what they would do. Cheers...

11. Remember back in the old days, when Jesus was Johnson's lord and savior?

Instead of Donald Trump?
