No Kings Day this Saturday, 18 October 2025, everywhere Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on October 15, 2025, 9:59 pm ADMIN Predicted to be the largest protest in US history. I will be here or Denver. Eyes still watering from the tear gassing in Denver. Who is going? If you can't go in person, do something in spirit. I am putting a third and fourth message on reverse sides of my sandwich board. "When a person lies, he murders some part of the world." Have not yet chosen a fourth adage. Maybe this "In one day, Samson slew 10,000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Every day a new executive order kills a million deals and sales with the same weapon." You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

40k in "war-ravaged" Portland. Posted by Poppet on October 20, 2025, 8:48 pm, in reply to "No Kings Day this Saturday, 18 October 2025, everywhere" ADMIN And nary a hint of trouble...

Trouble coming down the pike… Posted by Skye on October 20, 2025, 10:38 pm, in reply to "40k in "war-ravaged" Portland." Valued Poster I hear that Japan has its first female PM, and she’s a ‘Japan First’ type with a near future meeting planned with Trump. Should be interesting to see how that all shakes out.

Nationwide this looks larger Posted by Christopher Blackwell on October 19, 2025, 9:06 pm, in reply to "No Kings Day this Saturday, 18 October 2025, everywhere" than the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War. ChristopherBlackwell

So many different people Posted by greenman on October 20, 2025, 9:02 am, in reply to "Nationwide this looks larger" Valued Poster ..and our Republic, our Constitution threatened by absolute bozos so obviously operating at Putin's behest. Not to mention the destruction of the dignity of the office.. RESIST!

Here's how it was in this ultraconservative city Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on October 18, 2025, 8:49 pm, in reply to "No Kings Day this Saturday, 18 October 2025, everywhere" ADMIN You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

Gives me hope. Posted by Skye on October 19, 2025, 12:52 pm, in reply to "Here's how it was in this ultraconservative city" I wasn’t able to attend as we were traveling again. So glad to see that so many turned out. My daughter planned a family vacation several months ago for us to go to Peru, and we just got home last night. Almost wasn’t allowed to get on the plane from Cusco to Lima coming home. There was a typo in my name that we thought had been corrected well before the trip, but somehow they took me out of the computer system for that one leg of the trip and didn’t get me back in with the correct spelling. There were six of us traveling together and I was the only one who was flagged. They said it was impossible for me to get on the plane since I wasn’t in the system… so long story short, after us showing them that I had a confirmation number from the airlines, and getting on the phone with the airline, and demanding the ticket counter agents to get their supervisor… it came down to the wire and they finally got me in the system just in time before the plane took off. My husband and daughter were telling them that they were not going to get on the plane and leave me there… very stressful, but it got worked out in the end! Probably dt was trying to get me deported… LOL

WOW! I'm glad you got it all fixed in time! Posted by Sia on October 19, 2025, 7:14 pm, in reply to "Gives me hope. " ADMIN

thank you for the picture Posted by Trish on October 19, 2025, 11:06 am, in reply to "Here's how it was in this ultraconservative city" Admin I couldn't go anywhere but I sat on my computer and blew up bots, posers, bad actors and fakebookers as much as I could. Damn there were TONS of them In my review, at least 75% of negative posts were obvious bots (same exact wording on different boards). Others were from scammers who have taken over profiles and just post BS whenever and whereever possible One example was from our local event. Wonderful pictures but THOUSANDS of replies (this is Buffalo, not Chicago) with "people" who weren't even from this area or living in this area (one was in ENGLAND). This is very disconcerting. They are trying very hard to discredit an honorable effort.

Social media is where basement male cowards post because they can safely hide Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on October 19, 2025, 3:41 pm, in reply to "thank you for the picture" ADMIN They can and do write things they would never have courage to say to anybody's face. Its a kind of sucker punch ability because they know any opponent can't physically fight back. So while streets, parks and grounds were filled with Americans, real patriots, and citizens united against a common tyrannical enemy, the best the bots could do is flood social media to make it appear their numbers were huge.

I sat by this guy… Posted by Skye on October 19, 2025, 8:53 pm, in reply to "Social media is where basement male cowards post because they can safely hide " Valued Poster on the plane yesterday, coming to KC. He seemed like a nice guy, but at the end of the conversation, just before we landed, he started saying that “they” (the rich elites) are torturing and killing young children in order to take their “adrenochrome” cells in order to increase their lifespans…. obviously a crazy conspiracy theory! How is it that I seem to run across these people?!?

What did you say to that dingdong? Posted by Sia on October 20, 2025, 10:54 am, in reply to "I sat by this guy…"

Re: What did you say to that dingdong? Posted by Skye on October 20, 2025, 11:58 am, in reply to "What did you say to that dingdong?" Valued Poster Well, I was trying to be nice, but I told him I had never heard of such a thing. I said something about there being so many conspiracy theories… and that no, they were NOT eating the cats and dogs in Ohio! He said to look up “adrenochrome” right before we got off the plane. GEEZE… Reminded me of that other crazy guy I met a couple of years ago on our Indonesia trip who was showing off pictures of his gun and spouting off conspiracy theories about ‘them’ putting “pink stuff” in the clouds, and how the election was stolen from dt.

Oh yeah…. Posted by Skye on October 20, 2025, 12:05 pm, in reply to "Re: What did you say to that dingdong?" Valued Poster Then my husband piped up and said, “but they do eat guinea pigs in Peru!” He wasn’t helping! He was sleeping during most of our conversation!

ROFLMAO! Your husband sounds like a scream to hang out with! Posted by Sia on October 20, 2025, 1:36 pm, in reply to "Oh yeah…." ADMIN Too funny. Did that trigger more from the kook? I have no patience left for conspiracy nuts. I do get someone wondering about stuff we hear or read, because crazy stuff CAN be true. However, those who cling to nonsense a/o ideas that are too ridiculous to entertain beyond a moment's consideration just annoy the crap outa me! I just wanna bonk em on the head to restart their brains or yank their tongues until their brain recalibrates. In truth, I used to have a ton of patience for obvious morons who simply can't help being idiots. However,since MAGAts & other variations of trumpsters began roaming the earth spreading their fantasies far and wide to gullible people who've lost their critical thinking skills once bitten and who should know better, I have none left forsuch simpleton. Those who buy in because they are too lazy or busy to actually check out the reliability of what they hear ARE worth having patience with since they are reachable with some effort, but it is no easy chore to distinguish them from the utterly devoted fans of MAGAt or other conspiracy nonsense. I have NO patience for them but I do feel sorry for true conspiracy nuts (like you know who) because their brains are just wired wrong.

Oh he is, but sometimes.... Posted by Skye on October 20, 2025, 2:04 pm, in reply to "ROFLMAO! Your husband sounds like a scream to hang out with! " Valued Poster I just want to bonk him over the head!!

Yeah, I get that. Still... Posted by Sia on October 20, 2025, 2:28 pm, in reply to "Oh he is, but sometimes...." ADMIN It sounds like he's totally worth the bother, even if sometimes he's "incorrigible" and adds to the discomfort in a situation.

Yeah.... Posted by Skye on October 20, 2025, 2:32 pm, in reply to "Yeah, I get that. Still... " Valued Poster I was reading to him what I wrote to you, and he was laughing all the way!

Oh, FTR, being a scream to hang out with is a positive, not a negative. Posted by Sia on October 20, 2025, 1:59 pm, in reply to "ROFLMAO! Your husband sounds like a scream to hang out with! " ADMIN It dawned on me that maybe that could be taken wrong. Being "a scream" means being wicked funny and always making people literally LOL at the unexpected humor, both in private and in public, where you might be embarrassed by the burst of loud laughter. That's my FAVORITE kind of people. Admittedly, I laugh very easily because I always find humor in things, but something so funny and unexpected that I actually burst out laughing and can't control it is typically the most fun. For obvious reasons, I never sit with them at funerals or other somber events, while always seeking them out everywhere else. **chuckle**

Shopped for groceries at Walmart today Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on October 20, 2025, 9:01 pm, in reply to "Oh, FTR, being a scream to hang out with is a positive, not a negative." ADMIN In the aisle down from frozen foods was a pile of black beans on the floor. I passed it a couple times. Last time, a supervisor was supervising an employee who swept the beans into a dustpan. I said, "Looks like someone spilled the beans." Apparently it was dad humor they didn't get, or didn't think was funny. Later in frozen breakfasts, I opened the freezer door to get a bag of premade frozen pancakes. At the same time a woman reached in from the next door and grabbed the same bag. She quickly pulled her hand back, embarrassed, and apologized. I said, "Look Lady! I'll fight you for them. Not here and now. We'll set this up as a main event with Walmart. They can promote it, sell tickets with the winner getting 60% of the gate, loser 30% and Walmart 10%. (I whispered "Sound like fun donit?") We can make enough money off this to buy groceries here for a year! Walmart shoppers fight for profit!" By that time she was almost on the floor laughing so hard. I gave her the bag of pancakes and said< "I like people with a good sense of humor! Thanks! This was fun!" On the way out of the store, the new cart area by the exit is signed, "Cart Park." I said to somebody, "IF you read that backwards, it says "Trac(k) Krap." You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

Ha! Fun! Posted by Sia on October 20, 2025, 10:08 pm, in reply to "Shopped for groceries at Walmart today" ADMIN

That sounds like something Posted by greenman on October 20, 2025, 9:03 am, in reply to "I sat by this guy…" Valued Poster ..you'd read in a Hunter S. Thompson book..lol RESIST!

Or a L&O SVU or Criminal Minds episode! Posted by Sia on October 20, 2025, 10:46 am, in reply to "That sounds like something" ADMIN

They read that stuff online, so it MUST be fact. Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on October 20, 2025, 2:01 am, in reply to "I sat by this guy…" ADMIN 70% of "information" online is false. Any Tom or Harry Dick can create an authentic looking website and fill it with anything they want. Instead of shedding light on a topic, they shed dark on it, and keep on until collectively they or we may know nothing at all. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

So it was well populated? Was there any trouble? Posted by Sia on October 18, 2025, 9:11 pm, in reply to "Here's how it was in this ultraconservative city" ADMIN

None Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on October 19, 2025, 11:14 am, in reply to "So it was well populated? Was there any trouble?" ADMIN I saw two MAGA trucks with felon flags drive by the Olympic Museum, driver yelling obscenities at the crowd. The loop went up the steps at the museum, then down to America the Beautiful Park, and north up the park to the Colorado Ave bridge and back into downtown. Total route distance about 1.5 miles. We stayed here rather than Denver because we wanted to see how this ultraconservative city would respond. We knew Denver would be gigantic, and parking might be a huge problem. My friend Wagner said the Denver event was easily twice as big as the monster in June, meaning maybe a half million people were there. We were astonished by the size of the crowd here, and the response. Overwhelmingly against the felon. Here is the felon's response, posted overnight. https://x.com/RpsAgainstTrump/status/1979745837145325720 You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

THAT is disgusting! Posted by Sia on October 19, 2025, 11:45 am, in reply to "None" ADMIN

When he finished Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on October 19, 2025, 4:34 pm, in reply to "THAT is disgusting! " ADMIN the flight suit was empty, and with nobody to fly the plane, it crashed. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
