They’re going to get their things and put them there. You’re welcome.

For the third time in less than a year, millions of people took to the streets nationwide for “No Kings” protests against the Trump administration, as demonstrations unfolded amid a military conflict, rising gas prices and a partial government shutdown. Seattle was among the cities where crowds turned out in large numbers, with tens of thousands marching through downtown. Some gathered near the Space Needle, while others moved down Fifth Avenue in a stream that shut down several streets on Saturday. The Seattle “No Kings” protest began at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill and ended near Seattle Center, part of thousands of similar demonstrations across the country opposing President Donald Trump and his administration.

@stevemur Sadly true.

The WA budget has sadly turned into a way to redistribute money to politically-aligned entities like consulting companies and unions. That's why, despite more than doubling spending in the past decade, so many livability outcome metrics have declined: academic outcomes, road quality, homelessness, affordability, and more. WA State spending isn't seen as a way to improve outcomes, but as a way to enrich activist groups and consultants, with comparatively little going to improve livability outcomes.

What’s your favourite “concept” album?

@JVMonte2 Stones Steve Earle Los Lobos

Who have you seen in concert the most?

@cpm56 @ProGolfCritic 🎯

@ProGolfCritic 21 under might have beaten anyone.

I guess I have to be the bad guy (again). I like Gary Woodland & I’m happy for him. BUT it’s not like he had to beat the 2 best players on his tour to win this. He beat Sam Stevens, Johnny Keefer, Paul Waring & the less good Hojgaard twin.

@BoomerDivvies Anyone not counting true home equity as an asset, and therefore part of net worth, is missing the bigger picture. Even better with a paid off home. Of course my home is not a cash flowing instrument so it does not enter into income computations. But it’s an asset of real value.

Your house may not be part of your net worth, but my home is definitely part of mine. It’s a big asset.

@jhova1313 @themoviedadsc That’s the way we used to do it. Out the driveway by 4:30 or 5:00 am. Three kids (and sometimes my wife) fall back asleep as we make great time those first few hours. Created many great road trip memories. Now my kids do the same with theirs.

@themoviedadsc I’m with you on that, don’t like the overnight drive. We typically leave at 430-5am and kids go back to sleep. Depends on age I guess. Either way Ft Lauderdale sounds awesome this time of year!

Legitimately now considering driving 14.5 hours to Ft. Lauderdale this coming weekend vs. flying. Drive is brutal, but my worst nightmare is getting caught in this TSA mess flying with 3 young kids Question to those who've been flying. Is it really that bad right now?

@michelletandler This white, elderly boomer who wants nothing to do with those protests and is tired of being disparaged by this trope just unfollowed you.

The primary participants of "No Kings" are white, elderly Boomers. These are the people who have locked in rent control, tax benefits, Social Security, and countless other structural benefits that keep their lifestyles afloat. They are the modern-day "landed gentry"...

@annbauerwriter @S___Elliott Yes. Some people have a hard time understanding that. You don’t vote for president (or any election) in a vacuum. There is always a choice to be made. In some cases neither candidate/ticket may be appealing. But one must be better than the other.

@S___Elliott you are describing exactly the situation I faced when Donald Trump ran against a ticket with Tim Walz on it

I generally vote Democrat. I haven't voted for a Republican in my life. But I would absolutely vote for Donald Trump for mayor of Chicago if the only other choice was Brandon Johnson, and I'd be voting for the less corrupt politician.

@Super70sSports And every 60s kid knows that’s a repurposed GI Joe.

The road to the title of greatest action figure ever runs through Colonel Steve Austin and every 70s kid knows it.

@Super70sSports A bowl of Raisin Bran on top of the opened sports page every morning before school.

Sunday morning ritual. The kids today will never understand

@PolitiBunny There’s a surprise. Fabulous record. When I was in college I had the pleasure of driving Todd (and a couple members of Utopia) from Bellingham, Washington to Vancouver BC for their next gig. Interesting experience.

Good morning for this for some reason ... music.apple.com/us/album/i-saw…

@GenTXer2 Hercules

Name ONE great song by ELTON JOHN. I'll start off with this epic song..."Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding"

@VintageRockN_85 Neil Young Guess Who Tragically Hip

Who’s the greatest Canadian Band or Artist in Rock N’ Roll History?

@seattletimes The fact that national politics are even mentioned in a story about local abuse of tax payers dollars at scandalous, horrific levels shows how unserious Danny Westneat, the Seattle Times and local democrat politicians are about holding the criminals accountable. No kings?

No heads will roll, no political careers are threatened, from the King County grants scandal. Politics is in a stage where having a government that works is an afterthought, writes columnist Danny Westneat. ebx.sh/yIaCJQ

@maziehirono And no one in America disagrees with you.

Donald Trump is not, never will be, and has never been a king. #NoKings

@VintageRockN_85 Jimi

Who’s the greatest Band or Artist from your Home State?

@Millerita Agree. But I’m thinking reason and logic do not work with these folks.

The reality is, if we had a king or a dictator, you would not be strolling around the park in a paper crown screaming about him. You would actually be silenced and punished for dissent. As it is, you’re wasting a beautiful Saturday proving what a low iq fool you are.

@PolitiBunny They seem to be dragging the average age down from 70.

This is what you see when you enter the ninth circle of Hell.

@komonews Weren’t we saying a hundred thousand earlier?

Hundreds across the state are expected to join nationwide “No Kings” protests on Saturday. komonews.com/news/local/no-…
