My sign for Saturday



The back says “Real cops don't wear masks.”

I HATE these fucking deputized Proud Boys cosplaying as real police. No way to tell them apart from criminals. We're just supposed to take their word for it? Typical authoritarian assholes. Show me your badge or fuck off.

So I wanted to make one of these gaitered doofuses the poster boy for the problem.

My wife and I are going to Florence, Oregon for Saturday's protest. Not the biggest, but we need a pleasant day at the coast to put these awful developments out of mind for a bit. Say hello if you happen to be there too.

protesters during the NO KINGS protests?!? How in the hell could he tsll protesters what to wear and not wear?!. Go to hell, asshole! I proudly will show my face and if there is a news camera I'll do my best to get right up to and speak my mind...FREE SPEECH!!!

I have been on the news several times over the years between 2016 and 2020 when I attended 27 protests...June 14th will be #29!

Here is what he said.....

"Yes, according to The Hill and Yahoo, on June 8, 2025, President Trump said that masks would not be allowed to be worn at protests, including the "No Kings" protests. He expressed this sentiment on Truth Social, questioning what masked protesters had to hide. He also took aim at California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for their handling of the situation. The "No Kings" protests are part of a nationwide movement organized by the 50501 Movement, which aims to stand for democracy and oppose what they perceive as the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. These protests are intended to counter the Army's 250th anniversary celebration in Washington D.C., which includes a military parade. The "No Kings" movement states that real power doesn't come from staged events like the parade, but from people uniting everywhere else to reject authoritarianism and show what democracy truly looks like. They're advocating for nonviolent action and ask participants to de-escalate any potential confrontations. Trump's stance on masked protesters and his criticism of local leadership in California have been noted."

This is REAL!!! Fuck tRump!!!!!

Is He Dead Yet?!?
