Because our president is really a traitor on the verge of establishing a dictatorship.

Any bets on if/how many people get mowed down in the street? It's the first test for Dotard XIV.

Not my President.

Any president that thinks they are above the law and thinks they can ignore the law is not my president.

Why do Americans continually deny who won the Presidency?

Then you're not an American. He was elected, whether we like it or not. Not surprising coming from someone who identifies as an ex Marine.

Another BSKY post that did not age well. Anyone got any real news organization links to the protests?

I can't remember. Where were you on whether Biden won the election or not?

Of course Biden won, clown. As a Libertarian since the second Reagan administration, I call a pox on both major parties.

Trump's not my president, either.

I'm ashamed of him.

Both the above are political statements, protected by the 1st.

If you don't like that, you're not an American.

A man who does not love his country or its citizens is not the President of the United States.

A man who betrays his country is not President of the United States.

Empty titles are empty titles.

He is a convicted felon who ignores the law does not follow the law and does not faithfully execute the law so no ... he is not MY president.

As a former Marine and now just an American Citizen I have never followed and I am certainly not going to start following any unlawful orders.

I am always faithful. No to any one man. But to the US constitution. And our Declaration which clearly spells out the intentions of a dream called America. Which this traitor that YOU call president is torching.

And you sir, are not in charge of who is an American or who is not. So you can GFY.

"Facts are stupid things." Especially when wielded by stupid people for stupid reasons.

No worries.

Happy Not My President Day!

A resolution for 2025:
Let's all
--Trust our systems to resolve legitimate electoral disputes
--Accept the election outcomes as being the result of the current electoral system (ie, including the electoral college and federal and state actions)
--Trust our current electoral schedule (elections in 2 years for the house and 1/3 of the senate and in 4 for the presidency) to enable timely course corrections
--Trust our current constitutional system's checks and balances to put a brake on extremism by the winners
--Work with those on the other side as if they are wrong, not as if they are evil
--Work to educate/convince more people so that my views prevail in the next election

I found your list humorous in today's climate. But at least honorable. Of course it takes two to tango and unilateral disarmament is not reasonable and is really no longer possible.

And I take exception to ignoring evil.

When people are being hurt and their lives are being destroyed and they are literally dying due to the actions of these people then that is evil and ignoring that evil is easier said than done.

We really are between a rock and a hard place these days ...
