with one emcee
Did they mean MC? The abbreviation for "Master of Ceremonies?" Was this written by AI?
Edit: NVM I just forgot about the abbreviation policy! Silly me.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Lol
While it's unclear what exactly the protesters were opposing, KCRCC has since posted a statement to Facebook explaining that Borrenpohl, who allegedly belongs to Save NIC, a social welfare nonprofit organization, "alongside at least five other recognized activists from local progressive circles—including two fellow 'Save NIC' members—shouted down legislators with insults like 'bigots' and 'liars' throughout the meeting, drowning out attempts at dialogue."
So let me get this straight
This woman and group, who are clearly against Trump, and obviously not Republicans , but highly probably are Democrats, are protesting against "something", which as per the article is "still unclear"
But let's say they are protesting against Trump EOs and against Elon for the sake of argument
So first thing, the title and framing of this post makes it looks like it is "Republicans" protesting against Trump, when it is clearly not the case
Second, what were they expecting? Protesting now, specifically after the elections are done and none of their executive actions has had any real world effect is meaningless, at least for them.
In their eyes, and particularly on the eyes of the law, the victory gives them every right to dismiss their opposition's concerns.
After all they are their opposition. They certainly don't expect any leeway from them
Demoralizing? Sure! Were they expecting to be cheered on by the guy they are protesting against? Poppycock!
one of their executive actions has had any real world effect is
I agree with all except this part. Many people have lost their jobs already.
They should be used to it. It's what democrats have been saying to progressives for decades.
"I'm speaking."
