Sure, they're saying there will be protests while making sure to cover the Republican "spin" that it will be an ANTIFA sponsored "Hate America" protest by Hama sympathisers consisting of paid protesters but let's see if they cover any main protests while they're happening. The last big rally that I attended in DC had over 120,000 people attend and the only coverage you could find on it was on Reuters. Oh CNN actually showed some video of the protest, at twelve midnight.

Going down with the Gandsons to have a look see later. Our sons will be there walking and not wanting to walk with them until seeing the mood and crowd there. With them being with us and their father and mother worried a little.

That's not consistent with the coverage I've seen. Are you saying that CNN and MSNBC are part of a ... Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy?

Should be interesting ... I'm guessing that the slightest whiff of violence (which there will undoubtedly be) will be employed as a pretext for the admin to send in the UAV's to quash the "Soros-funded Hate America Insurrection".

Anyone wanna bet against me?

At the Y the other day one of the MAGA crowd asked "what was our problem with the guard patrolling the streets fighting unrest?"

I responded with, Governor's or cities and Republican's never got upset when Obama and Biden sent in California's or New York's guard for Tea Party marches.

He said they never did that...did they?


Bingo!

Point made...

Okay, I'm watching MSNBC right now -- pretty much wall-to-wall No Kings coverage to the exclusion of all else. Multiple master shots of vast crowds with commentary emphasizing their size.

CNN is pretty much the same.

Surprisingly, I've seen no serious violent incidents, although it's possible that might be something MSM might want to play down, at least until Trump's Brownshirts get involved.

From here it is looking really frightening what this administration is doing to America and Americans.

Wishing you all a safe day.

MSNBC is my favorite channel to see what is happening in America.
I'm too frightened to even look at how it is covered on the lying Fox.

Took the Grandsons down to see awhile ago.

Pretty good turnout.


Kids were impressed.
