It shrinks?

[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It looked like JROTC compared to parades overseas

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

very low energy, and very demoralized people.

200k expected. 20k attended. Over 50k protested in DC beforehand. 11M protested nationwide.

Happy Birthday, Dickhead.

I hope he gets our birthday wish and he keels over. That'd be fucking epic.

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.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

To be fair, most things dont make it to 250 years. I'm sure July 4th next year will be pretty poppin, though.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 3 points 4 hours ago

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 attended a No Kings rally in a small suburb that nobody here has probably ever heard of. We easily beat Trump's numbers. LOL

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 81 points 1 day ago (1 children)

20k attended? Damn, they could have just given everybody $2000 and skipped the $40m parade. I'm sure people would have enjoyed it more.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 80 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Or just, y’know, fund the VA.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fund universal healthcare. Doesn’t sit well with me that people willing to kill for a career get any special treatment at all.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Don't worry Republicans feel the same way and are actively trying to remove that special treatment

Do you think he cried a little? I hope he cried a little.

The Craigslist post didn't bring in enough seatfillers?

11m? I guess that 3.5% rule is about to be put to the test.

[–] notabot@piefed.social 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The thing with the 3.5% that most people keep missing, is that it needs to be 3.5% of the population consistently engaged in protest, not just in a one off event.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 21 hours ago

Also that it is bullshit.

Oh yeah, I remember hearing something about a parade, shame it ended up being the same day as all those cool protests 🤔

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 65 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I saw the President sitting down and being all frumpy rather than standing on a platform and saluting the troops as they walked by.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 8 points 18 hours ago

Scar at least gave good speeches and could sing.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 32 points 1 day ago (3 children)

the lion king one looks signifcantly better.

Is that bottom picture really from trump's parade?

[–] ExtraordinaryJoe@lemmy.world 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I avoided reading anything about it so this is the first one I've seen. I thought it was fake but I'm glad it didn't look like the top picture.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I dunno. If you're going to do fascist military display at least do it right. This fascism lite crap is all the evil but none of the decorum. He just does everything so shitty.

So it was basically the McDonald's of military parades, got it. What more could you expect from McDonald Trump.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Right? Show me some semi trucks with obviously weiner-shaped missiles. Instead of the type'o dong from NK, ours will be called big stick or something. Mushroom tip is taken by a shadowy conglomerate.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i saw the video on publicfreakout, all the army members in the parade, look so sad.

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know this going to get under trump's skin

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Why aren't they kicking as high as these guys?

Sir, that's a burlesque play making fun of Nazis.

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 75 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do you think Donny was able to impress his friends?

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 70 points 1 day ago (7 children)

I don't think Donald Trump is a boss. I think he's owned. Like a puppet of organized crime. I kind of wish people would understand how real this world really is and see beyond the talking head puppetry. Getting trump out of the presidency is only like cutting off the finger of the real perpetrators. They are still alive without him.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 6 points 21 hours ago

He's definitely only a part of a far larger problem, but he's also the face and voice of the MAGA cult. It feels like they've tried a few times too pass on that torch but they're kinda stuck with him now.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

US politics is just reality TV at this point and that's why Donny is president: because the only thing he was ever really successful at in life was being a reality TV character.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 32 points 1 day ago (6 children)

The lines between corporate America, the American government, and organized crime are thin to non-existent.

Poor Cheeto Shitler...

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It just seems like they are trying hard to make life like the past instead of learning to ride the wave of the universe and existence, building and growing off what God/universe provides.
