What a wonderful turnout and show of support for the No Kings rally! 

Sen. Warren says Republicans don’t have the spine to stand up to president Trump. Does she mean like Sen. Chuck Schumer doesn’t have the spine to stand up to AOC? Otherwise we would not be in this government shutdown.

Joe Whitfield’s column took me down Albany memory lane. I too thought Albany was a magical place. Downtown was Rosenbergs, Jason’s,  Aaron’s, Book and Gift, coming on weekends to Garganos, Mae’s oyster bar. Quite simply I loved the place. Breaks my heart now. I never stop hoping though. 

Some Republicans are calling the “No Kings” protests anti-American. Excuse me. I thought kings were anti-American. Help me, I am confused. That Man Without a Family

How many more restaurants will close in All Benny? Say a prayer for the Krystral.  

Carlton is going to stop saying, “How stupid can people be?” Too many are taking up the challenge.

MTG is crossing over to the Democrat side; just listen to her statements.The MAGA bubble is fixing to burst.  

You people taking part in the “No Kings” rally had better be glad me and some of my friends weren’t in the vicinity. We’d be glad to show y’all what real Americans do for their country.

When are you going to understand that Trump and his toadies will always create an Emmanuel Goldstein, which is now immigrant people of color, for you to hate and be at war with? That war will be perpetual, as they control the narrative and rewrite history to suit their one goal, which is control.

Thanks to the Herald for the article about Monarch butterflies. I have milkweed. Hope others will plant this.

Hey, Trump Protest Voter, the president is going to take away the Obamacare subsidies from everyone, even those that voted for him. That includes you. I guess Kamala is looking like a better choice now.
