For the third time in this iteration of the Donald Trump administration, we’ve had a series of astroturfed “No Kings” protests.
The good news is that they worked. Friday will mark 91,232 days in America since we stopped having a king. Without these purple-haired retiree holdovers from the “Give Peace a Chance” era, we might have ended that streak. Phew. It remains intact.
The bad news is that, like thetwo “No Kings” shindigsbefore them, the March 28 mobilization has already been mostly forgotten about, because it was mostly forgettable. In fact, “Hands Across America” seems to have had more of a lasting impact, and I’m not even sure what the heck that was supposed to do. But I can say the same thing about “No Kings,” and that didn’t even happen four weeks ago, much less 40 years ago.
But it gave us moments like this:
“My dog is smarter then Trump.”

Yeah, though: Otherwise forgettable. I give you Cherelle Parker, who seems to have forgotten about it. This is a problem because she’s the mayor of Philadelphia, and she spoke at one of these rallies, albeit through video.
