Its very confusing. They are calling us "commies" but are in bed with Russia, in fact a former RUSSIAN KGB AGENT.

Logic is not these traitors strong suit apparently...

It's also mostly white, religious, hates gay people and minorities, and is basically an oligarchy where the rich rule rather than the democratically elected.

They also just up and take over other nearby countries which the MAGAts think is a boss move.

Russia today is basically their exact kinda place.

Wonder how that all came about sometimes ...

And cancelled a potential disaster gathering that might tank future bookings and profits, and it's Commie?

Oh, do G&G's folks have a permit? California requires a permit for protests.
Oh, and hope they have plenty of shade and water. 5pm is gonna be hot -like 95 degrees hot.

Shit, spouse just informed me that there's a 7pm candlelight vigil for John Lewis at the Riverside Courthouse, had been planned for weeks. With some big name Democrats and Activists.

Is it possible those Petite-Nazis decided they're going to make a scene for their White Privilege Agenda because no private business with a lick of sense wants to risk their reputation and profits?

Take four: Reps. Gaetz, Greene now planning ‘free speech’ protest at Riverside City Hall
After three venues canceled their rally, the controversial GOP Congress members have changed tactics for tonight’s event.

After three Southern California venues canceled their planned America First rally amid growing protests, Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene now say they plan to hold a “Free Speech Peaceful Protest” of their own at 5 p.m. Saturday, July 17, at Riverside City Hall.

“You and I cannot let these Communists shut us down and take away our First Amendment Rights,” Greene said in a press release announcing the news three hours before the scheduled start of the protest.

Gaetz posted a video on Twitter inviting supporters to what he called a “peaceful protest against Communism.”

“These folks, they try to cancel our venues, but they can never cancel our patriotism or our American spirit,” said Gaetz, who wore sunglasses and stood in front of Riverside City Hall in the video.

Riverside spokesperson Phil Pitchford issued a statement saying “The City of Riverside is aware of the announced event and taking steps to ensure the safety of everyone involved.”

On Saturday morning, Anaheim officials said the latest venue Gaetz and Greene had planned to use for a local stop on their national tour – a private event center near the city’s convention center – had canceled the event.

“We as a city shared our public safety concerns with the operator and the operator shares the concerns,” Anaheim spokesman Mike Lyster said Saturday morning.

It was the third cancellation they’ve faced in just over a week.

-----------------------------------------------------

I'm expecting an interesting - and not in a good way - evening tonight. I don't buy the "peaceful" part. Those two don't believe in peace.

Furthermore, why here? Because you know you can get more attention and a bigger crowd? Orange County canceled your cancelable, worthless, treasonous asses twice.

Maybe, hopefully, if this spirals out of control, someone will finally arrest these two MF'ers for inciting. And, yes, I am expecting this to get ugly. After all, both of them have know a thing or two about inciting violence and chaos (see: January 6).

Fucking hell. Go away, you two. Get out of my city and get out of my country.
