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

Happy Birthday, Dickhead.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    Bruh, you have no idea how much sex I got from that movie in 3D. I have no idea why. I mean, it was well done into 3D, but not good enough to explain that. And its not like I was in some kind of "prime" at the time lol

    It looked like JROTC compared to parades overseas

    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.

    Honestly this shit parade made me realize how our imperialist strategy would make us very vulnerable to any actual war in the US

    I think the difference there is you'd probably notice a ton of troops like, literally gathering for war. You'd have enough time to mobilize and house them. Parades are not important enough to pull that many troops away, and it'd be way more than this one cost.

    Now, a civil war... nah, I feel like by the time anyone organized you'd have plenty of troops ready to squash it.

    The problem is that both are bad, and collectively we need to end both, constantly.

    Having a military parade for a leaders birthday is not normal. Wtf USA. Protest harder please, actually get reform this time.

    We are relying on you, since the USA is a superpower with many countries under your thumb, this affects more than just you
