Trump really embarrassed the US Army today (www.rollingstone.com)

He treated them like the "suckers and losers" he's called them.

Millions of Americans took to the streets around the country. Unarmed. Peaceful. A big tent that mobilized lots of different people.

Meanwhile the army looked pathetic surrounded by tanks and robot dogs. They had to march for an old man's birthday who felt the need to lie about what the march was for. He tried to goad protesters to come because he couldn't get any crowds.

Shout out to the organizers yesterday who had some really smart ideas like not protesting the parade and switching to the "no kings" slogan from being against "oligarchy".

Keep organizing and keep at it.

The military has some great marching bands, crack troops that can do incredible displays, and all kinds of fantastic aircraft. They were ordered to do a parade, and they did a parade. I don't think these guys are champing at the bit to go to war for Donnie.

We dont want a military coup. People really need to understand this.

I personally would like a new constitution drawn up after this and ratified. I want a legal and longlasting change built on the correct foundation. Trump has 100% shown, we cannot continue under the current consitiution.

I want a democratically elected government to take charge and hold everyone aiding this wannabe dictator accountable.

Honestly, It might be time for a North American Union.

No, we don't. But I might prefer it to another three years of Trump, followed by whatever fascist replaces him.

If there is a third option, I'm happy to consider it.
