77. We decided to attend the No Kings Rally

Mon Oct 20, 2025, 05:12 PM

Oct 20

kind of at the last minute on Saturday morning. I took a quick shower, dried my hair, dressed and then ransacked my craft room looking for materials to make a sign. I had a small piece of left-over foam board, a black marker and a red Sharpie, some red, blue and white ribbons and a small American flag on a thin dowel stick that was stuck in a can with pens and pencils. I quickly penciled NO KINGS on the foam board, traced over that with my markers, stapled ribbons on two corners and duct taped the flag on another corner. Badda Boom, badda bang…..Ready to show our support for the cause.

Total amount spent …..practically nothing. Zero dollars invested.

Return on investment……ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS! What a day!! What a fabulous day to be an American! It helped restore our sense of pride in showing up to express our dissatisfaction with Donald J. tRump. He just needs to get over himself. We the people have spoken loud and clear. We do not like you, tRumpolini, and are even less enchanted with your policies and actions. Watch out because we are looking forward to the next election. Your days as a wannabe bee dictator are coming to an end. Your crown is looking tarnished and tattered. Kind of fitting for a guy like you.
