200k expected. 20k attended. Over 50k protested in DC beforehand. 11M protested nationwide.
Happy Birthday, Dickhead.
I only glimpsed it on the news channels on the TVs at the gym yesterday. It’s interesting that it was originally hyped as a birthday parade for him, but all the clips on the news were labeling it as a parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the army. I guess the birthday parade shit didn’t poll well with anybody.
Also pretty hilarious that nobody really celebrates the 250th anniversary of anything.
To be fair, most things dont make it to 250 years. I’m sure July 4th next year will be pretty poppin, though.
Usually you celebrate the xxxth birthday of someone/-thing even when they’re dead. Last year for example was the 300th birthday of Casper David Friedrich, a painter. This year my city is celeberating it’s 750th birthday and I believe the university will soon celebrate its 600th birthday
I saw the President sitting down and being all frumpy rather than standing on a platform and saluting the troops as they walked by.
Do you think Donny was able to impress his friends?
It is pretty easy to put on an impressive parade when you have a military of 2 million people and aren’t a global power vs the US with 1.3m and have bases all over the globe. Even Russia was able to put on a bigger parade while they were fighting Ukraine and had lost tens of thousands of soldiers.
The parade was pretty paltry, but the fireworks display was very ostentatious. Breaking out the vintage stuff was cool, but lame that they didn’t at least put some mock .50s on the half track.
It looked like JROTC compared to parades overseas
very low energy, and very demoralized people.
Photo taken first thing in the morning, but nice try
Do you have a better photo?
Beep
Shut up, loser.
