No pedos? They’re LITERALLY out there protecting illegal immigrant pedos! Wtf is wrong with people??

u/WRXforRicky Mar 29 '26

Despite the mountains of evidence revealing the repeat offending pedophile demographic, there is yet another pedophile protector among us

u/WRXforRicky Mar 29 '26

Vag like your mom. All we're hearing you say is you do more than protect pedophiles.

2

u/Re2pectJeter Mar 29 '26

I’m sure that’s up for debate. So tell me, is it only domestic pedos you hate? Clearly you and your “peaceful protest pals” are all good protecting illegal immigrant pedos. Maybe you should stop in this thread and focus on your abv weed. 🤷🏼‍♂️ DJT IS THE GOAT!

u/WRXforRicky Mar 29 '26

Again, despite the mountains of evidence pointing to the pedophile demographic, you're having a hard time accepting the truth.

You tell me? Conservatives seem so hell bent that every illegal immigrant is a pedophile so I’d like to know if they face consequences when found out.

I mean a new story seems to break daily of conservatives convicted of sex crimes against children, so I think it's just projecting.

u/bpseph Mar 28 '26

I agree. Voting for and continuing to support a president and party that is destroying the country, spitting on the Constitution and protecting child rapists (and is full of child rapists) is loser behavior.

Glad you oppose Trump and the MAGA virus.

Why are there so many pedo protectors in Rochester? Why do they love an orange dictator so much? DJT IS A RAPIST

u/Specialist_Memory_21 Apr 02 '26

Rochester has always been that way... There are many factors, but you could say this about a lot of places, it gets worse the further south you go, luckily a lot of these old timers are moving to other places down south and we don't have to deal with them.

Epstein accountant said no financial transfers from Trump. The victims said Trump never engaged..so show us all this mountain of evidence you stupid fuck.

u/Uwagalars Apr 01 '26

Stop making sense, it doesn’t fit the narrative!!! Just like the whole 4 year term of battling the “Russian collusion “ that only proved it was the Dems cheating.

1

u/Specialist_Memory_21 Apr 02 '26

Well well well, we've got another idiot here, the case for impeachment was not about collusion, the term collusion isn't a crime was made up by a certain individual and popularized by Rudy Giuliani, but if you look at what Mueller was to investigate with the directive, it says nothing about collusion, so they changed the narrative and spun it to look like it's something about collusion but it was about Russian interference and they found plenty of it. So if you want, to be a big boy and put your big pants on, you can go right ahead, fine the original DOJ order to Mueller and what they ask, and if you can find anywhere in that directive for his appointment anything about collusion be my guest, otherwise you're wrong, admit you're wrong, and admit you're stupid

u/Uwagalars Apr 02 '26

Sorry to trigger you, I’m an idiot with a short attention span though and I gave up after well well well. I’m sure someone will read your novel though.

u/Specialist_Memory_21 Apr 02 '26

No, apparently I triggered you, because I gave you a very detailed explanation, And you can't handle reading a few sentences without your brain starting to hurt. I'm sorry I got you so easily, I'm sorry I bursted you a little false belief system bubble. Enjoy your fact-free day kiddo.

u/Uwagalars Apr 02 '26

I’m sorry, who is this? Were we discussing something?

u/Specialist_Memory_21 Apr 02 '26

And just so we're clear, here is the appointment with its clear directives which does not include anything to do with collusion https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/press-release/file/967231/dl

2

u/Uwagalars Apr 02 '26

Here’s the thing. This is social media, nobody should be getting their facts from social media. I also could care less about a single point you try to make because as soon as any of you anti trumpsters start running your mouths you immediately resort to name calling and insults which removes any credibility you have. I’m just here to have fun and get your panties all waded up and then move on.

1

u/Specialist_Memory_21 Apr 18 '26

So I laid out the facts, and you're not listening to me, you go and look at what it says, you're trying to change the subject and be evasive, because you don't like the answer, you don't like the facts. Because I prove to you that you were wrong, with empirical solid evidence. You don't even want to try to come back with any sort of rebuttal, because you can't, because you started by lying and making up shit, I on the other hand source everything, understand where certain things come from, how they derived to where they are today, what the history of it actually is, what is factual and what is bullshit. And notice I didn't insult you here, so if you want to get back to the original point of you making up things and me proving you wrong, that'll be fine, otherwise, you've been schooled and you've been dismissed.

u/Specialist_Memory_21 Apr 02 '26

Let's not stand on that hill and that one thing, Trump in his first administration, violated the first amendment twice, that's on record, you can look it up yourself, there's been judgments on it, and by the way violating an amendment in the Constitution doesn't mean you go to jail or it's a criminal offense, it's just that he stepped on her constitution and violated it. He also said that wind turbines are killing all the eagles, all of the eagles? Really all of them? Because I see eagles all the time, and if they're killing all of them, then I wouldn't see any eagles would I? So regardless of the exaggeration, he's lying. Trump had no legislative successes during his first administration, and the only one that you would consider success only benefited the rich, otherwise he did nothing for us or this country, he's been promising this and that for decades including a better health care plan, meanwhile dissecting and destroying what exists. He did a terrible job handling the pandemic where we didn't need to lose almost a half a million lives, he left 5,000 people to die in Puerto Rico after a hurricane, separation of children, locking children in cages, running a scam university, stealing from his own charity for children with cancer, profiting off the presidency, paid access, paid to play, quid pro quo, impeach twice, paid off a pornstar, admitted to sexual assault, adjudicated for sexual assault and rape, is a 34 count felon, there's so much more, I could go on on fucking day, it would actually take me a week, but people like you don't see me on the headlines, don't understand how the world works, You're a dilettante that's poorly educated and asking questions that can easily be answered.

u/Gold-Appointment-506 Mar 31 '26

Aren't most of the democratic elects in any state, for example Bernie Sanders, who's been in office for 40+ years and hasn't had significant change in the last 20 years...aren't they more of a King than trump?

2

u/startraveller2 Mar 31 '26

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.

2

u/Gold-Appointment-506 Mar 31 '26

Isn't he also taking action against other countries and helping countries that the previous administration ignored? While I didn't like any of the presidential choices I had to think about who he would put into power over the opposition, so I did vote for Trump. Do I agree with everything he is doing no, but I think the same can be said about any president. As far as granting immunities, why is it something people all of a sudden care about, what president hasn't done this, or is it all of a sudden at something to add to the list. I think everything you listed has been done by many of our presidents. There isn't a lot of research being done for these rallies. Many of the people you talk to can't even give talking points about why they are there other than they hate trump. We just had a president for 4 years that was inept but the Democratic party didn't want to admit it. Then they just put Kamala in with no vote or anything. The people wanted change, the majority voted for this president. Imagine what America could do if both sides came together and supported the country instead of being brainwashed that we have to continually be picking sides and fighting about something.

I would no longer say Far and Away. One third of those who could, did not vote.

Of the roughly 65 percent who did: 49.78% to 48.23%, or 77.1 million votes to 74.7 million.

u/FrickinLazerBeams Mar 28 '26

Lol obviously not. We literally fought a war against fascists.

Actually if you read what he said, he supports the pedophile that's known as Trump. I'm not surprised you can't read, you conservatives are all illiterate.

u/Re2pectJeter Mar 29 '26

Very well stated!

4

u/bpseph Mar 28 '26

When did Republicans work with either Obama or Biden? And when did they do anything near what Trump has done?

You're part of the "diaglogue" problem. You provide a false equivalency and ignore the facts that are inconvenient.

For decades, I have heard right leaning people decry executive overreach. And when a REPULICAN president pushes it farther than ever before, all I hear from the right is "well, Obama and Biden signed executive orders, too."

Stand on business and principles or get out of the way.

The entire IDEA of the phrase No Kings is that our country has a presidency and we want no kings. Trump is acting in ways unprecedented in the history of the Executive Office. So we want people to act as if they are a president not a king and we say, No Kings!

There weren't any socialists running in NYC. There's a social democrat in office though. He was the best candidate, by far, if you're in any way patriotic.

u/rootz42000 Mar 29 '26

He's been a long-time member of the Democratic Socialists of America and he was a prominent member of the "State Socialists" bloc when he was in the state Assembly. He's explicitly anti-capitalist and it's obvious his political and economic ideologies are grounded in Marxist materialism.
