No Kings! The Protests

Over the past weekend there were some "No Kings" protests being held around Marin and Sonoma Counties in California.  In theory, the protests were against the reigning Orange Cheeto acting like a petulant toddler in dealing with just about everything.  I guess that is why the Orange Cheeto liked Epstein Island so much.  The Petulant Toddler is attracted to youngsters because he is....well.....mentally a youngster.  I could go on and on about Epstein and his "friends" he brought to his billionaire sponsored island of child rape.  That is for another blog that will make you all sick.  

Now, back to Sonoma and Marin Counties.   

Several of my friends attended the "No Kings" marches in Sonoma and Marin Counties.  I was invited to join them, but I declined due to a prior work obligation.  Why did I decline?  I needed to give a presentation about SAVING FOR RETIREMENT (see the theme?????)  and the many investment vehicles we offer to get you there (many of our retirement investment options are employer matched).  Before and after the 60 minute stage presentation I facilitated, I was fielding individual questions from participants.  Bottom line:  My Saturday was spent trying to help people plan for retirement and how to maximize the funding tools we have available to them.

Here is my truth:  I'm glad I had a prior work-related speaking obligation that took up most of  Saturday.  I could honestly let my well-meaning friends know that I would not be joining them at the protest without passing judgement on them nor judgement on the event.  

Here is more on my truth:   I'm really drained of the "us vs. them" mentality of our polarized politics.  I am drained from the "democrats vs. republicans" blame game.  I could go on and on writing about this.  All I know is that BOTH the democrats and the republicans suck campaign contributions from the billionaire class (along with sucking other body parts that shall not be named).  That is exactly why the democrats are largely silent and do not object to the Orange Cheeto's game plan.  They are all, and I am meaning BOTH democrats and republicans, sucking on the *same* billionaire campaign contribution c*ck. 

Our nation has been in trouble for a while.  What sealed our doom was our government acknowledging that corporations were people (circa 2010).  Corporation person-hood effed us real people over.  Please, people....this is NOT a republican vs democrat issue.  It's an "up vs down" economic issue.  Our government is all-in on advancing themselves with zero regard to us working slobs - you know, the ones who actually pay.

One more truth:   I did not want to participate in the "No Kings" march.  Why?  I do not believe for one second that either democrats or republicans give one sh*t about us.  I will not participate in a "No Kings" protest when I am being used as the pawn.
