With the US turning 250 and President Donald Trump poised to celebrate his 80th birthday, there’s plenty of reason for festivities this summer.
But given the blinding animosity many leftists agitators feel toward the president, it’s not surprising that many Americans won’t be wishing him many happy returns.
And at least some of the particularly high-strung activists are planning to take to the streets to express their shallow political opinions as part of the tired “No Kings” movement.
The Hill provided this report:
“The next 250 starts with us. As America approaches its anniversary about what story we tell. We can let strongman politics and corruption define the moment,” the movement’s website states. “Or we can make the story of America about people coming together — across race, background, identity, belief, and community — to defend our rights and build a future rooted in people’s power.”
“On June 14, we rise up, we sing out, and we keep organizing.”
A 90-minute concert in New York City has been planned to headline the event. The “Rise Up, Sing Out” concert is set to take place at The Town Hall in midtown Manhattan and is scheduled to feature performances and appearances by singers Sasha Allen, Bette Midler, Patti Smith and Rufus Wainwright, along with actor Jane Fonda and liberal commentator Joy Reid.
The retread protest and who’s-who of TDS-stricken celebrities fueled some social media mockery:

Now if there were just Kings in the US, maybe it would make sense.

Let them keep making idiots out of themselves. It will make for great content after the protests.

I love the same group who selected an incompetent presidential candidate, ignoring the will of their own voters want to keep pretending that Trump wants to be a king. Everyone with a brain is laughing at you.
