It was protesting a lot more than that. The song was a direct attack on everything Trump is and stands for, and more broadly capitalism in general.
Idiots like Trump hear "Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Hoo, they're red, white and blue" and think it's a rah rah patriot song.

Democratic leadership still thinks there's this moderate middle they can appeal to that will move the needle. I don't know what it will take to disabuse them of that.

Schumer: "Congress should not be sidelined as the Trump administration, gets sucked into another nation building quagmire and we're going to hold them accountable, protect American lives to protect America's interests. No one can explain to me how this is America first."

“And they are assured me they are not pursuing those things”

Hitler matched into the Rhineland because no one stopped him. His plan was literally give up and leave at the first sign of resistance.
Yes I'm comparing him to Hitler.

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again
Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

Gosh somehow I just don't think Kamala Harris would be having this same press conference. But I realize a lot of you do. Or like to pretend you do at least.

This is insane. We are in insane times. We chose insane times.
Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?
TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.

I'm amazed someone from corporate media asked the question. Of course it wasn't answered.
Q: You said that Maduro is responsible for drug trafficking. You recently pardoned the former president of Honduras who was convicted of drug trafficking. How are these situations different?
TRUMP: This was a man who was persecuted very unfairly by Biden. Obviously the people liked what I did

It's morbidly ironic that they are using a photo of Sami Hamdi, a guy who was loudly insisting there was fundamentally no difference between Harris and Trump, and encouraging voters to sit the election out or vote third party.

No we just threw them into civil war.
“There are no signs of U.S. military presence in the country and the United States closed the embassy in Caracas in 2019, so it is unclear how the Trump administration would run Venezuela, as the president claims.”

Trump on Venezuela: "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition"

Which is ironic because the online hammer and sickle crowd preferred this regime to those evil "centrists." Well good luck, to all of us.
Lost in all this is that this will kick off a new Red Scare. And if they decide you're a communist, then you're a threat.

Without exaggeration this is a huge part of how we surrendered the country to the worst humans of all time - the left-of-center’s conviction that you can’t be disrespectful to stupid people to has robbed us of the social censure that forces stupid people to stop being stupid
my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

But they won't. They'll try to barely be objective and that will appeal to exactly no one.

In our recent October poll, 2% of Americans said their primary source of news was CBS. They disapprove of Trump by a net 20 points.
