It is possible the poor weather kept many at home.
Right. Because I'm going to buy a ticket to DC, rent a hotel room, tell my friends I'm going... and then not go because it's raining.
Meanwhile, millions of people showed up to protests in DC and other places with equally rainy forecasts. But sure, news, blame the weather instead of the fascism.
To be fair, that article was overall pretty plainly stating that the protests were overwhelmingly more well attended. Yes they had one line that raised the possibility of weather as a factor, but I think anyone but Trump could see the facts as presented in the story telling the real story.
Also went out of their way to characterize the protests as peaceful and the only politicians under violent threat were Democrats, despite the magnitude of protests.
What a sad, low energy, failing perade
I like the "No Kings!" messaging, simple and pointed. We need a slogan that is short and sweet for the soldiers to use. Something that shows them they have agency in this.
Maybe a secret service man will stab this mf in the back, then whisper..."Tunnel Snakes Rule"
Sic semper tyrannis.
This brings me joy.
Nothing is better than getting under his skin.
I mean I wish he'd have put some bleach under his skin way back when so we'd not be dealing with this specific scenario, rn:/
The 'weather' kept people away. You mean the cold front of fascism that has been pouring in???
I'm glad it went so poorly.
I pray that this was his last birthday he celebrates above ground.
If Trump becomes a mole person we are all doomed.
It's already hard to tell his ass from his face, we might be there already
Monkey's Paw: His next birthday is spent underground because WW3 kicked off and he is in a nuclear bunker.
Hopefully he meets a peaceful end with an appropriate tie around his neck that shows how much people appreciate his life's works.
Or when his overly long tie gets sucked into the toilet on Air Force One while it’s struggling to evacuate a series of Mc Donalds shit pebbles. Preferably caught on tape and posted to TikTok.
Organisers for Saturday’s parade said they were expecting “hundreds of thousands” to attend
Ah, bless 'em.
it's possible the poor weather kept them at home
It's also possible that's not the reason
It didn’t stop the protestors. Millions came out.
Confused boomers, whatcha gonna do.
"Uh, Captain or Sergeant or whatever you are? Where's the bus to the In-dinn casinos?"
Opens up Southern euphemism to standard English translation book
Yes I agree.
For a man from hollywood he sure is bad at producing. Reagan was better at literally everything, where are our leaders!? Reagan was still a terrible leader…
He’s from Atlantic City by way of NY. His former handlers were from Hollywood, but they’ve all left by now.
Jesus H Christ, Someone teach Trump how to salute…
It's like this, right?
I love how they all look at him like the dumbass he is.
Such an embarrassing piece of douche-garbage.
I think it is funny he salutes like he's lost a war.
Didn't they give Obama shit because he saluted even though he didn't go to the military?
They'd give him shit either way.
Salute - He's not military!
No salute - He's not respecting the troops!
Presidents didn't salute until Reagan. Like many of the stupid things presidents do, Reagan started the bullshit, trump amplified it to 11.
And then bitched when he didn't
He can't be told anything. And that's before considering his capacity to learn.
Someone should have recruited lots of obese men in army uniforms for the parade.
ICE recruited them first.
i did my part
Poor widdle guy got his ego bruised. Let’s make him some chicken soup.
Or maybe he'd prefer some chicken... tacos? Who doesn't love a good taco?
Don't give a shit about his feelings. His actions have killed countless people, he needs to hang
"About time we celebrated???" Wtf
Do the military want a parade for themselves? I bet they sure as fuck don't. This was all about you and your ego, fat-stain. Get bent.
Here in San Diego alone, we had more than 20,000 for No Kings. Pussolini's bigly parade allegedly drew 10,000, and most of them left early looking for a Chick-fil-A.
I think the location of that parade reviewing stand will make a great place to hang him upside down for public review.
God, wouldn't that have been the perfect moment to turn all those tanks to point at the goldfish and minions in their glass bowl and quickly put an end to this mess? (yes I know it would start a new mess but still).
Imagine being such a hated coward that you're literally surrounded by the military, and still have to hide behind bullet proof glass
