The largest human protest OF ALL TIME, around the world, Peacefully, was The Women's March, on the day after Trump was inaugurated in 2016. I am a woman who participated, and will again. I also went to Washington DC protest Brett Kavanaugh.

The Trumpapalooza in Dallas is all-Trump all the time, and the RNC chair says that Trump personally insisted that it be that way. The GOP no longer bears any resemblance to a political party as that term is used in US history. Instead it is a cult of personality mass movement.

Trump will now headline both nights of ‘waste of time’ GOP midterm convention

Attendees include Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Ohio Senator Jon Husted and Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno.

It's rather naïve to think of Kushner and Witkoff simply as buffoons, though they certainly are. Their objective in pursuing their "diplomatic" missions is always and entirely about themselves. They seek private payoffs in order to betray their country and its allies; it's as simple as that.
