No Kings Is A Bad Poker Hand And A Worse Protest – HotAir

Never Trump Homecoming took place Saturday all over the country, and instead of dressing up like high school kids do for the big dance, they showed up in fits and starts in most of the remaining blue pockets of the country, and made absolute fools of themselves in the process. 

On my X feed, I’ve been compiling all of the lowlights with the intention of giving you a quick rundown of what you missed, because Hot Air readers are normal people with normal lives, and most of them rightly will not waste a second of precious weekend time. 

One lady, a nomadic artist who really doesn’t like Donald Trump, offered this as analysis for why the No Kings/DooDah Parade was such a success. 





I couldn’t help myself. I replied that there was a counterprotest. It took place on the first Tuesday in November of last year, and 77 million-plus Americans participated. I’m sorry she missed it. 

Were there crowds? Of course. In the cities where you would expect them – Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, there were sizeable numbers of people, if not a smidgeon smaller than similar protests in June. 

I had no intention of writing this column when the festivities began on Saturday, but when I saw George Conway show up looking like a character out of Ramallah Rustler’s Rhapsody, I knew there was going to be too much material to leave behind. 

I’m not normally a huge fan of divorce, but whatever Kellyanne Conway got out of the deal leaving that relationship, she’s ahead tons. George now has a service dog that identifies as a giraffe. The dog attempted to flee but failed to get away when some idiot handed George a bullhorn.

Peter Schweizer and his team have begun to post the dark money groups that bankrolled a lot of this nationwide Astroturfing, and roughly how much was spent. 





There were leaflets printed and passed out to demonstrators with lyrics to protest songs they wanted the media to pick up. 

There were fleets of buses bringing in protesters. 

A lot of them were just going through the motions, marching until they were no longer on the clock, playing on their phones. 

In Chicago, someone organically paid and printed out a “We the people” banner for protesters to sign that was half a block long. Totally not paid for and brought in by outside groups.

And in New York, when they were no longer on the clock, the rally didn’t just end, it disappeared. 

A few minutes later…

Donald Trump on Air Force One returning from a weekend in Florida knows what every sentient person knows – This was a paid stunt that fizzled. 

How much did it fizzle? MSNBC ran video of a huge protest rally…from 2017 and tried to pass it off instead of Saturday’s underwhelming response in Boston. 

When NBC News covered the actual event, and notice the smaller crowd than the Astroturfed video from 8 years ago, the anchors couldn’t help but notice something that was a common thread at many of the protests. Most of the participants were white, most were elderly, and most didn’t have a clue in the world why they were there. 





 Q-tips, we call them, says NBC News. 

In Washington, D.C., at a sparse crowd in front of Lafayette Park to protest at the White House, a city that sports around 50% of their population being Black or Latino, you see a sea of white. 

It was the same deal in Atlanta, which also has a huge Black population. 

When seniors get involved, this kind of stuff breaks out.

And in the Pacific Northwest, the geriatric protesters were out in force.

Even the Los Angeles Times reported that the numbers in Downtown L.A. were not that wildly impressive. 

Remember, this is a No Kings protest. This was specifically to object to Donald Trump acting like an authoritarian, allegedly. Yet the seething hate for Charlie Kirk and other Republicans was palpable and on full public display.





Killing Stephen Moore would be justifiable.

Seems like patriotic love to me. Just a guy in a jacket holding a sign asking for better snipers with Trump’s face in the crosshairs. 

A guy wears a T-shirt that says, “For Charlie”. The reaction he got from a protester barely makes the podium for craziest meltdowns. 

Then there’s this nice lady. How do I know she’s nice? She says so…right up to the point where she becomes a homicidal maniac. 

There’s this woman, who’s a school teacher in Chicago, after spotting a man wearing a Charlie Kirk Freedom shirt and going right for the jugular, as it were.

This woman wants Donald Trump to die as her birthday present. 

Whereas this gentleman wants to arm up and shoot ICE agents on sight.





This doctor was at least a little more subtle. His sign is begging cholesterol to get on with it already. 

And this deranged cutie’s chest may say empathy, but her hat says hot girls hate trump. I know I’m supposed to keep my eyes up here, but I’m getting mixed messages. 

For his own part, Donald Trump stirred up the pot on Saturday, proving once again what an amazing age in which we’re living. Peace deal in the Middle East one weekend, and this in the next. 

Going back to Trump on Air Force One, despite the trolling he does online, he does work his tail off. That is actually undeniable if you look at the schedule the President has kept for almost ten months. 

In closing, I’ll give you two more clips of other people working their hindquarters off.





I just love the fact that a 5-second video had to had a jump cut in the middle of it before Nancy could finally make short work of the cardboard crown. 

I can’t wait for the No Kings rally in 2029, objecting to President J.D. Vance. That’s going to be absolutely lit.
