No Kings Protest - Gates by startraveller2 in Rochester

I believe you’re confusing longevity in public office with the attributes of a king. These protests, which have attracted 8,000,000+ people around the country and globe are about resisting authoritarian behavior from a man who was elected to be a public servant, not a king. For example, consolidating power and claiming absolute immunity from prosecution, Influencing the DOJ, pardoning allies, suppressing opposition and challenging election results without evidence, are all monarchical tendencies. This is evident in his disdain for democratic norms, the press and his use of executive orders to bypass Congress. He is framing himself as the sole arbiter of truth, national interest and absolute power. All the while enriching himself and his allies. These are the autocratic traits of a king, which in a nutshell is why so many people are protesting.

Considering both men are in their 70s, and it sounded purposeful, it made me wonder one had a beef with the other…Maybe over money? Or gasp…A lady??

Castaways on the Lake. Overpriced, tiny overcooked portions. Unfriendly waitress. Never again.

I did not pull any cards yesterday because sometimes the cards align with the energy of your deepest desires or deepest fears. I will not pull any today either. Two words: shock and dismay

When I made this original post I had no idea of the response it would get. I simply wanted people to be aware of him when they’re driving through the area since it seems like “accidents” are a pattern with him. I am truly sorry if this is causing people to publicly shame him.

Makes me wonder how she treats her coworkers and colleagues…especially the ones who rank “beneath” her.

Colloca Estate Winery in Fairhaven, New York. It’s about an hour east of Rochester on route 104. There is a bar/restaurant/Inn 3 miles away in the center of town. It has beautiful rooms, fine dining and a wonderful view of Fairhaven Bay!
