He won't show if it's a pathetic turnout.🪼 $50M photo op flop is the best outcome.

*Aside from the obscene waste of our tax dollars.🤬
We had more people protesting in Williamsburg, Virginia!
This is the fucking crowd? This is it? There were more people in The Netherlands protesting Trump today THAN THIS! 🤣 #nokings
Taxpayers should sue
Trump 2.0: Where Even His Celebrations Look Like Shit
😂
Oh, lookit! Out of shape, older, white folks. WHO could have predicted it????
The rest of the out of shape, older, white folks are at #NoKings rallies!
Well... not ALL of us. 😜
Lot of Midwest builds in DC this week.
Just so you know I am not fat shaming (or melanin shaming either), I would not look out of place in those photos....
We know our own
Out of shape, older white folk here...just got home from protesting and celebrating NO KINGS DAY!
Good to see. And you aren't THAT old...
💙💙💙
Almost like the majority of Americans think Trump is a narcissistic loser who is sacking the people who make the country actually great.
😂
When sell out ABC broadcasts it second to second, I hope they show the empty stands.
There is no way. It will be a tight camera perspective. No panning out allowed!
I am sure of course, you will be correct. I'm still hoping...
We the people od MD a Solid Blue State are boycotting Trump. Not our Military who are there at Trumps birthday parade agaist there will! So all honor to the 250 Anniversary its too bad Yrump had to have it on his birthday something Hitler would do.
Band sounds good.
The people are speaking!! NO KINGS!!
She looks so happy he seems so miserable, and dozing off. 💍
PREDICTION: Trump and his minions will claim the audience watching his birthday parade was the largest in history. Much more than at the dinky protests.
The crowd size is about what you see every summer weekend in D.C. Actually it looks even smaller than normal - maybe because foreign tourists are afraid to come to the USA now. bsky.app/profile/dave...
It might be something to do with the vibe of "If you come to the parade and we don't like the look of you we will shoot you graveyard dead"
Saw more people at the WKRP Turkey Drop
But not as many turkeys 😉
There were more people at my nephew’s bris
😂😂
Difference being, the schmeckle in DC has probably never left a tip in his life.
😂😂😂😂
I think you mean weiner (I’ll show myself out)
Lol
Beat me to it!
Overheard
😂
The man can't even throw a decent parade.
Meanwhile across America cities are packed with peaceful protesting, and car horns blaring in support!
Only a complete jack off Nazi would sit for that stupid fucking parade. The rest of America is doing the right thing, although the media is not really covering it. You’ve lost a conservative Republican like me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fuck Trump and this bullshit parade for his ego.
Tomorrow the larges crowd ever 2.0 - period! m.youtube.com/watch?v=PKzH...
Poor Spicer. Such a dumb fellow.
For reference: the capital 4th of July crowd starts finding spots for the fire works in the morning. It’s an all day thing that’s usually wall to wall people. Inauguration is similar, I found my spot before 7 am for Obama’s first parade, there was already a crowd when I got there.
Wonderfully embarrassing for TACO
*typing* "At the military parade having the time of my life with a bunch of friends."
You can tell he took the hat off, actually using his cargo shorts, got some hat hair goin' on in the back there.
Gonna be a Sharpie kind of crowd
When I see this I hear crickets in my head.
📌
Raindance
😂
Smh don’t post slop
Stop posting this AI slop on Beyonce's Internet. You're better than this.
Hmm, then i’ll report you to the ai blocklist
The what?
wait what... weren't there supposed to be 200,000??? Go on tell me the actual #
Are people supposed to be there? Are you sure the parade is today?
Local parades have more attendees!🤣
Almost NO attendance!! $45M of taxpayer money for this? Just how many Veterans could have received proper medical care? Just how many families could have received SNAP food benefits? 🙏 Call Congress. Urge them to vote “NO” on the BBB that cuts needed programs.
Almost like no one gives a f***. Trump should FO.
That’s what we call karma. And it makes the level of waste spent on the parade all the more stunning.
There should be a spot for me and my cat.
Pyongyang News Network said the crowds were YUGE!
Couldn't even fill them up with all those Craigslist opportunities. And now the thunderstorms are coming.
All I see is wasted tax dollars and cringe.
LOL the shitgibbon didn’t realize that his pal Kim Jong Un FORCES his people to stand there. Maybe you should try that next time bitch
Right?
Don't give him ideas, lol!
That's #OrangeShitGibbon to you!
Don’t give him ideas 😭😭
It's fine. Ask Ceaușescu how that ultimately goes. Oh, that's right, we can't.
I love this painting.
Please don't give him any ideas.
This is what TACO was asking for. No disturbance on his Birthday "perade". Who has thought the people would take this serious...🤣
So will all the Veterans putting on the Parade for King Orange be asking for the services he gutted from them to be restored ? Just wondering.
please keep giving updates
Seems like no one likes kings.
My seats are ready!! Ready for no butts in them!
Good to see folks are avoiding the area. Document that NO ONE is attending. You know Trump will just lie about the crowd size anyway.
CNN is really trying to make "fetch" happen with this thing.
🤣🤣🤣🤭
🤣😂😆
No Craigslist takers? 😂🤣
Lol. Lmao.
I love this for him
sad
It looks like there were more people at my kid’s Graduation parade in 2020. The one we had instead of a normal graduation because of Trump’s mishandling of COVID. I think the neighbor kid had more people show up to their 9th birthday parade that same year.
Had to laugh my ass off at hearing the squeak of the links from the tanks. It was so freaking quiet. A good parade, hell, even ok Parades aren’t as quiet as it was there in DC.
$50 million of our tax dollars to that pathetic piece of show of weakness?
There were more people at the small No Kings protest at the ATL VA Medical Ctr today. 😂🤣😂🤣😂 What a loser! He made the country have a parade for his birthday, and the only people there are the soldiers who are forced to be there and a handful of brainwashed MAGAs. Hey, Trump: Nobody likes you!
I wasn’t prepared for the comic value of empty bleachers. Putting them directly across from the bandstand was some Mel Brooks level parody.
What kind of tool would show up for that crap?
He’s gonna be 2 hours late while they desperately try to bus in paid attendees.
🎯
Is this $43 million of our tax money being well spent?
I wonder what story those people are telling themselves?
Poor little Donny. Nobody showed up to his birthday party. Boo hoo. And it rained on his cake.
And probably half those guys are just armaments geeks who want to see the hardware up close.
Not much traffic going into DC, either.
No thanks
😂🤣 most excellent!
Few want to support the man who wants to be king
lmao basically no one attended Trumps birthday celebration parade today. The WA mall on a normal day this time of year, is jam packed with way more people than this.
Starting to feel a little bad for the Army lol
🤣🤣🤣
They'll all be thrilled to have such great viewing positions!
So everyone who ordered free tickets never intended on showing up?
That's embarrassing.
🤣😂🤣😂
Just think each one of your videos captured a moment that cost us taxpayers about $5m-10m.
So his shit show is about to start?
I think I would describe that as almost nobody is there
I think you will find this is the bigliest crowd of all time
I'll round up and say no one is there
Just spitballing, of course.
GREMLIN BARBIE: THESE WERE THE BIGGEST CROWDS TO EVER WATCH A PARADE ANYWHERE ON EARTH IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY PERIOD.
This is sarcasm, right? She didn't REALLY say anything THAT stoopid, did she??? Guess I could google it, but I'd rather look at ALL of the reports on the NoKings protetss! Those make me happy!
Per Yahoo news "The White House said that 'over 250,000 patriots showed up' for the event, without providing evidence." I think this claim comes from Steven Cheung
idk who you mean. I had no one whatsoever in mind when I came up with GREMLIN BARBIE
I will only believe her if she hoists her podium and crashes it into the press corps.
Dear Leader will be pissed. I wonder how many people he’s going to pay to show up
God its like a funeral. Big show little crowd. Great use of our tax dollars.
bsky.app/profile/w-a-...
As a unit of measurement, there was a veritable fuckton of people out Portland.
Seattle too! (And in cities around Seattle.)
I love this for us.
she looks frightening. (sorry if she's your wife.)
Priceless 😀
Agree with others that our small town parades draw much more congestion along the route. Not even close.
He's going to cancel due to *possible flooding*, isn't he? I just can't imagine him enduring this much of an insult to his ego! Haaa haaa ha ha haaa ha ha haa ha ha haaa ha ha... lol...ha ha haaa!
Maybe they'll cut out some supporters from an empty cereal packet and tape it to the other side of his car window
🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳
I see it like this: a man in uniform, riding a horse, follows along beside the beast with a large screen showing many numbers of people waving flags and wearing maga hats. Because Trump is a fucking moron, he thinks the image is his very real adoring crowds!
Oh. Crap. Okay, you just reminded me that we're about to inundated with manipulated media to make it look like it was WAY better than it is. Remember those rally audience photos that were 200 people layered in a fake image to look like thousands? Sigh.
Look at those fascist traitors.
Way more people at the Washington Capitals and Nationals Stanley Cup/World Series parades.
I've seen more in a single Metro car going to a Nats or Capitals game as I'm leaving work. [I don't usually follow sports to know when the games are, but all the jerseys give it away.]
Lol
He didnt take into consideration that parades are the most boring things on Earth.
Nice try at spinning this into something positive, I guess.
Is that thin wispy line hands across america or drumpfs combover maybe ? 🤣🤣🤣
Who cares? Why are you there? Gross. Praying for lightning.
inject this into my veins
I guess the $500 they were offering for "seat fillers" still wasn't enough 😕
😄😄😄
T-minus 48 minutes. Great parade views still to be had on Constitution between 21st St. NW and 22nd St. NW.
This is only about 4 - 5 blocks from White House. WH is between 17th and 16th.
Is there a security line?
The crowds are now zero to one deep all along the parade route...
"Huge Announcement, Up Next!" (Damned funny, good job)
Gotta wonder how demoralizing it was for the attendees to see how little support their favorite dictator actually has.
I've been to 10K runs more packed.
There were more people lined up at the Walgreen’s pharmacy this morning
Cherry Blossom 10 miler or Marine Corps Marathon are tougher to navigate, with more cheering spectators
Nice. I wanted to do the MCM for a while. Cheering crowds make the hump easier.
I've been to a high school basketball game with a bigger crowd. And I'm not from Indiana.
😂 Why would anyone want ANY view? We in the DMV stayed away and joined #NOKINGS.
F'ing loser getting the turnout he deserves
I love that nobody showed up
It's embarrassing that even this many people showed up.
Little bit different than the Thanksgiving Day Parade in NY
Or the championship parades for Caps and Nats
Seems like the mass events are everywhere else.
Trump will deny it, but the narcissistic injury is going to leave a mark. I love that for him.
I wish it were August so we could hear the crickets.
millions of dollars for this spectacle lol
miserable. We had more at the No Kings in Silver Spring. I'd imagine they bunching up near the White House?
Looks like the crowd that turned out for Luther Heggs in “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken” 🤣
🤣😂😂👍
I've seen bigger crowds for a tractor parade!
I've seen bigger crowds for an ox pull!
Loooooool
Ratioed so hard on his birthday.
Impotent, per usual.
Those aren't even the good tanks.
The D.C. parade crowd definitely has Trump rally strains. The MAGA hats, the mugshot t-shirts. But talked to a lot of tourists, international visitors, apolitical onlookers. Pretty subdued. And these folks.
Most folks needed to stay away but DAMN, the cahoones of these good folks, is making my day
Much credit to them for going into the belly of the beast.
You mean the good folks...
The No Kings protests in Seattle were massive.
It’s 6:04 p.m. in D.C., and we have parading. Crowd has filled in a bit at the route front, but mainly one deep along Constitution Avenue.
Have the military deliberately put on a bad show to send a message to the people?
If you say so lol
Aw what a good buddy, he deserves better.
Dog says "No Kings!"
I like the folks who spread out their blanket at 9:00 am to save their spot
that dog is the *only* thing on the parade route that should be experiencing joy right now
Probably just stress-barking, poor little buddy.
Hope he bites King Lump in the balls
Otley Carnival vibes. (Otley Carnival is way better mind).
Really nice of Trump to throw a parade for one dog to enjoy.
It’s 6:14 p.m. at the D.C. parade, and it is *quiet* on Constitution Avenue between 20th and 21st streets.
The hair in my ears is thicker than that crowd size.
#NoKings in Provo, Utah had more impressive attendance, with real patriot energy.
Thank you, Provo!
Provo? Home of BYU? Wow.
Yup. I was not at the Provo event, but I had friends who did attend and there are pictures that show a good turnout of at least 5,000 engaged patriotic citizens of Utah County. The Salt Lake City morning event was very well attended, but I have not seen estimates just yet.
I was at Provo Utah protest and over nearly 5000 people there plus the farmers market in the park - people wandering in and out. Lots of motorists supporting us with honks. Louder and more fun than DC lol
That’s not much of a crowd
💤
humiliating
Now he’s going to have to write an EO or bomb somebody.
gonna be ketchup all over the walls of the residence
Wow, lame as fuck
Lolololol Lolololol
The parade when the Padres lost the World Series in 1998 was better attended!
The Padres wild card parade was bigger for sure......
We love our Padres !❤️⚾️
big time loser energy
Makes me wonder how many of those “spectators” are getting paid, or only there to keep their job.
They were paid 1000 a piece, was all over DC Craigslist
*$1000 in crypto.
that Craigslist thing was a joke a d a very good one
Or family of the soldiers.
Solid point. Thank you
More People Showed Up At My Little Rown Parade!
Today's energy belongs to the people and Obama.
Looks like there are at least 50 people there
Trump will say more people showed up to his parade than all the NO KINGS demonstrations put together. Fifty bucks on it.
As an Autistic person I have a strong tendency to avoid crowds … turns out I should have travelled to D.C. this weekend.
I stayed home and watched Murderbot with my best friend. She's finding it relatable.
Turns out #MarthaWells is neurodivergent & believes she has either undiagnosed #Autism or #ADHD something she discovered while writing #Murderbot
That is my understanding. One of those Authors that it’s like “I am glad they know before thousands of Autistic people are like ‘does this Author know they are Autistic?’”
A conversation I've had with an author essentially boiled down to "Why did no one tell me?" I had to respond with "Because most people don't respond well, and tend to protest." And yeah, all of the author's friends knew before she did.
'Zackly.😌 Albeit #MarthaWells doesn't consider #Murderbot #Autistic because it's not human.🤔
Haha! The contrast to No Kings is beautiful!
There would be far more people at a neighborhood Mardi Gras parade.
More people show up for the band that play at noon on Friday during Lollapalooza.
Now I really hope no protestors block anything. This is a humiliation on its own and we don’t need to give anyone any other narratives.
The only ones I heard about were veterans and I support that tbh
I will 100% support any non-violent protests of this admin. Even the ones I don’t think are particularly helpful. I am WAY more interested in principles than perfect tact
Rats! It's NOT raining!
This is honestly better than rain, because the weather isn't that bad and still no one showed up
Just for perspective, the most generous estimate of attendance would still be a fraction of the WEBN fireworks in Cincinnati, OH. And this is the 250th birthday of the Army we're talking about, that's a fairly significant anniversary.
He’s not giving his speech yet.
Yawn
Google AI tells me there's supposed to be 250k people there. Any way it's anywhere near that?
Google ai is known to hallucinate
Omg how delicious
bsky.app/profile/dave...
The crowd must be two deep in places!!!
LOL
The crowd is going mild
😂
It would take a very sizable wad of cash to persuade me to attend
🤣💀⚰️
#SOTY Early contender for Skeet of the year
🤣🤣🤣
Ok hilarious
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can “crowd” be singular?
In American English, it is a singular noun 😊
I was thinking about a crowd of one person.
Oh haha I got it now
🙌
Putie is laughing his little tootie off. And Kim Jong Utie. And Netanyahutie. Probably in a group chat.
The tanks and planes have yet to arrive. And the end of the route appears to be more populated and spirited. But here between 20th and 21st streets on Constitution Avenue, the mood is decidedly subdued. Golf clap-level enthusiasm as we hit the 6:20 p.m. mark.
I respect our military. Wish they didn’t have to participate in this cosplay
The 8 block parade. Everyone knows it’s lame.
Standing in shitty weather amidst a middling crowd watching something that hasn't happened since the end of the Gulf War would probably leave you feeling a bit foolish and confused. At that point, golf clap is all you have.
The rally in my non-too-liberal neighborhood was livelier.
"Golf clap-level enthusiasm" is a term I hope to remember for future use! 😉
What a humiliating waste of resources.
This is embarrassing for the soldiers 😬
I have no doubts he’ll try this again…
Bigger crowds for the Nats World Series parade
" Golf clap-level enthusiasm" 😆😂
Where are all the people?
Hey guys! It's YOUR day! How bout you walk for miles on blacktop in the summer to congratulate Taco Don for managing to escape jail time despite 34 felonies?
The silence of the crowd is LOUD🤭
The Mummers get a better (and more fun) crowd than this.
looks super lame ngl
What is that high pitched squeak?
Rust
How un-American to have tanks rolling through our nation’s capital. Go rain!
Seeing tanks on Constitution Avenue isn’t a sight to celebrate. Beyond disturbing.
wow that's weak
Let’s not forget that it was a recognition of our military, so here’s this tidbit:
the irony of WWII troops. Who and what did they fight to end again?
Is it that squeaky sound piccolos or the tank treads?
Tank treads.
That's what I figured, but didn't want to assume.
If you listen carefully, in the distance, you can actually hear Steven Miller’s head explode.
Well, that looks…boring.
I really hope this gets rained out, that'd be so fucking funny.
I hope people boo them
But no people. Everyone is out protesting elsewhere.
No body there for the diapered Orange Emperor. We all out protesting anywhere but there. #Resist
Digging the Shermans. Kinda feel bad for the paraders. In any other context this could have been cool.
I know you're busy But What does the street destruction protection look like?
It's like large metal plates.
Tnx
Pathetic
🤣😂 How is it possible to make a parade this boring? Elementary schools do better!
This looks smaller than the smallest #NoKings protest I’ve seen today
Pff call that old? Russia would press that into service.
Got to be great for those streets
I've seen more exciting small town 4th of July parades
My local high school had a homecoming parade a while back that had 1,000x the fun and energy.
Confetti,music,food and kiddos cheering and more. This cost how much agian?
My kid's high school marching band was in better-attended parades.
All I’m hearing is road damage.
🇺🇸 Happy 250th 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 US ARMY! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 Screw you,Trump! 🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫
woo fuckin’ hoo let it rain….
Those are Shermans. Like from WWII
I'm so hoping someone eggs a tank.
Tomorrow’s headline - yuge crowd - bigley size 🤡🤡
Sounds like Army needs WD-40
Shitty turnout for a shitty person!! The #NoKings rallies across the country have many many many more people!!! He is outnumbered!!
Question: Are tanks always this squeaky?
Wow! Must be scores of people there!
Oh brother... and i feel bad for our boys in blue. What a sad experience for them.
Did they make clapping a detainable offense? Or does this parade just suck?
I wonder how they feel looking out from atop of those tanks at the measly turnout?
They sure are quiet, must be really boring. Usually at parades people are cheering, clapping and waving. Like having fun. This is not that.
Lmao. Those are museum pieces. Patton would be proud.
Sounds like it needs some WD40
This is some weak shit. 🤣
Are we going to get thunder and lightning, preferably right above Trump?
Pathetic!
Wow what a huge waste of time
I’m so embarrassed.
Trillion dollar budget and not a tube of wheel grease in sight.
I’m dying 😂😂😂
it’s all in the diddy trial evidence locker
And that we can hear it lol
At first I thought it was pipers! 😆 I was like, "Oh, does the US army have pipers too? I thought it was only navys" until I realised!
oh my god yes the shame burns
My stomach is turning 🤮
Sorry for the low turnout. Did trump have to blow out 79 candles on his tank-cake? or did they puss out and decorate with only one candle?
Man, this is so lame
How much is this costing us again?
I heard over $45 million. Could be more after adding up the cost of the street repairs due to the tanks grinding up the asphalt. Sad.
There were more people on New Hampshire Ave. by IHOP today protesting this bullshit than are standing there on Constitution Avenue across from…what, a Smithsonian museum or federal agency headquarters building, probably?
All the onlookers failed history class. That is for sure.
I believe Sherman tanks once fought fascists rather than parading for them.
how embarrassing
Disgusting.
jesus i know they’re the mayo mafia but could they give them any less?? has the tone of a funeral procession
Feels like an invasion, not a celebration.
Are we gonna do this again next year??
How is the street afterwards ?
Pathetic. Embarrassing for the soldiers. We had tens of thousands in San Francisco today
WW2 tanks …it’s just like Putler’s parades.
I was in DC for the parade in 1976. Would never attend this parade!
I'd say it's just like in North Korea, but people actually turn out there.
Soviet is a dated reference though. It's a convenient avatar for a totalitarian regime. This critique feels thin.
I'm so tired of seeing this in reference to any time North Korea is mentioned. North Korea is famous for their military parades in front of their dictator. It is an apt comparison and you can stop looking for excuses to post the meme.
Or else.
My Kingdom for some WD40
Raindrops keep falling on my head, and shoulders, and tank, and spectators, and reviewing stand. God is laughing so hard she's crying tears of joy!
Any guess how many folks are in attendance?
At least 200 million! Biggest crowd in the history of mankind!
I'd say it's closer to a trillion. lmao
It's eerie.
This costs 10s of millions of dollars and it’s literally the lamest shit a country has ever done. DPRK’s parades are a hundred times better, lol
LOL.
A less than impressive turnout
Imagine fucking up something North Korea can pull off regularly
Guy on top of the tank in a posture like, "Let's just get this the fuck over with."
If he was in one of those tanks, like Michael Dukakis, it would have been worth the waste of taxpayer money.
Those crowds are enormous. 😆😆😆
That’s a sparse crowd
Omg this looks so boring
Shameful
Trump uses army as a prop
The tanks are Shermans. You know, WW II tanks. I think the parade is a farce, but there's a reason they're "creaky", folks.
Oh is that what the squeak is
I think the fact that it is so quiet you can hear them is the point. It’s not exactly excitement central.
Oh those squeaky tanks.
Those soldiers don't look that excited and people seem to be out there more out of curiosity than excitement or patriotism - no cheering from the crowd visible.
Huge turnout I see. And it ain’t even TACO Tuesday. LMAO
Reagan National Airport may be shut down for commercial traffic for the next couple hours, but these guys are in the air over D.C.
Is that a Dakota flanked by two Mustangs? If so, that’s painfully ironic. Two iconic aircraft used to defeat fascism 81 years ago.
Wow! Won’t the World be impressed?! 🤣
#MAGAPukes
This looks so lame
Pathetic parade for a man with a pathetic manhood.
I’m so happy 😆
Omg look at the empty space
They're so visible.
Can confirm that they are *not* throwing candy or little army toys or beads from the tanks, and my 9-year-old self who got candy and little army toys and beads from a tank soldier on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo, N.Y., in 1980something is a little sad.
Seems ridiculous to make them drive down the street
This is 1/3 the crowd in the middle of Wyoming that showed up today to protest! A county 10,000 whole people got 100 people to the first protest people remember happening in town…we cheered louder 😂
This is so sad. It must be demoralizing for the soldiers.
Kim does it better.
Clearly this is a bust, only one side of the street allowed for viewing with the “crowd” is single row deep and sparsely spaced. What a joke and a huge waste of taxpayer dollars!
That would have been too festive.
That's parade is pathetic and sad. Happy Obama Appreciation Day!
I live in a town of 70,000. More people show up for our Memorial Day parade than he seems to have gotten. And no candy is no bueno. Is it even a real parade if no one is throwing stuff at you?
This is hilariously pathetic. The schadenfreude feels so damn good.
Now that’s a white parade!
What! Did anyone ELSE throw anything good?
Single file
👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
There’s NO ONE THERE
You guys used to get candies?!!
More people showed up for Fyre Festival 2.
They could've hired Mardi Gras crewes from New Orleans but, no. No beads for MAGA. Which is just as well given that we've already seen Melania's bare breasts.
As a vet I’m so goddamned angry. Angry they’re being used. Angry that some people think the military is the enemy. Angry that a draft dodger would once again con people into choosing him over 250 years of norms. Angry that GOP are AWOL. Тяцмр’s a punk, not a CinC. Don’t blame the troops.
The parade has hit a lull as we near the 7 p.m. mark. But lo, the sound of a helicopter! People rush toward the Mall to witness … a news chopper.
This is NOT a crowd.
It’s so quiet like that squeaky shoes meme
Is Roger Goodell leading the parade?
Boy, it sure was worth it tearing up the streets and spending millions for this.
FOXTROT DELTA TACO
The Kenmore Memorial Day parade is way better than this.
Heck, my local ROTC group tosses candy from parades, there's no excuse
lol this parade fucking sucks, slap a sad tuba track over it and call it a day
Absolute silence apart from the tanks
Was at a parade in North Dakota where they were throwing candy and the little fat kid next to me said “be a lot cooler if they were throwing beef jerky” and I’m convinced he was on to something.
How weird that those we my exact parade experiences, right down to Delaware Ave in the 1980s. It was almost always cold and infinitely more fun than this. Those parachute army dudes were so cool.
The energy in the crowd is…something.
I've seen more impressive flyovers in Sherman Oaks during no event whatsoever. ✈️
couldn't even bother getting the blue angels lmao
The Blue Angels are Navy
Wow...there must be at least a dozen people flocking to see the flyover
Works out about $50k per person 😂
I live near a base and those things fly over my house daily
Six onlookers😅
Love the five guys running to get a closer look.
Come to the English Lake District for a better view of American aircraft
When I was a kid, there was a Veteran's Day parade that had tanks, old jeeps, a marching band, and an airshow. It wasn't big because it was pretty local, we lived close to a base. That local Veteran's Day parade had more excitement and attendees than this!! Plus the kids got candy and glow sticks!
Why is that MAGAt treating a tank as if it were a pleasure boat? Disgraceful all around.
even after this? barely a crowd?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha fucking losers
That ad was a joke. A funny joke, but nevertheless, a joke.
I mean. I suppose MAGAs would be motivated by the joke.
$1k in crypto to be a seat filler? That can't be real.
well it was on craigslist if you follow the link - But yeah - I don't know who posted it...
It’s not. It was a joke. 🤣
Where’s all the red hats? Embarrassed? Ashamed?
Wow. They pulled some props off an old MASH set. Yawn.
It’s like they are in Pyongyang North Korea
Oh yeah. They throw that extra little kick in there. Makes all the difference.
One word to describe the parade (or “perade” according TACO) = Flaccid.
Sounds like they need a little WD40
Can’t lubricate tracks. Oil/grease holds dirt and turns it into grease sandpaper. The sound of a main battle tank rolling in - engine is loud, tracks screaming - and the ground shaking, is not a welcoming experience
And those are the “Stealth” tanks.
They look like WW2 Shermans
I hope they feel ridiculous and angry cuz they look ridiculous, pitiful really
Who would actually attend this??????
These guys would pull a bigger crowd if they were shirtless (and smiled more).
Yesss
ft lauderdale was more lit
Colossal waste, fraud and abuse. AGAIN.
Tens & tens of people! Fuck TACO
Frankly, if I were the commanding forces of the great nation of Granada, I would invade the US Homeland now as payback for invasion of Grenada years ago. Clearly there's nothing to worry about based on the parade. You got this.
This gives me Russia vibes
Putin actually has juice. Evil juice, but juice.
Russia, at least, has soldiers in skirts to liven things up.
Classic!
Look at these assholes
There are no cheers or applause Wonder how the poor marchers feel about that
Rain it out
When does he start pumping YMCA through those speakers and do his weird little dance?
So, all of the vintage equipment from WWII, were they rentals?
😂 thanks goodness , wouldn’t want to put mileage on the good stuff
They sure are squeaky
The King of America demonstrates to his fellow bloodsoaked leaders in North Korea and in the Apartheid State of Israel how to do vacuous, egotistical, narcissistic triumphalism on a big scale on an effectively unlimited budget, while the mass of the population struggles in misery and insecurity.
I can't tell if it's raindrops or my tears .... of laughter
Squeaky ass wheels. A metaphor for America 🫠😖
That is an 80-year-old Sherman Tank from WW2. You'll be squeaking like that when you hit 80, believe me from someone who knows lol
Me in 80 yrs if this keeps up
The crowd energy is awe inspiring
Not even Nicolae Ceaușescu was able to boast public enthusiasm like this.
I think his and his wife’s Christmas performance got the loudest and most enthusiastic applause from the fine citizens of Romania!🤣🤗😏
Everyone looks...bored.
Were they told NOT to cheer?
They were paid.
I wonder if one would get tackled and beaten by the police goons if you yelled out "Butt plugs! Dildoes!"
I was kinda hoping those would be in the Potomac.
What a waste of money that could help people. And he's a waste of oxygen
This is so low energy lol
literally no one in this clip is smiling
It's a somber day where we realize that this country is asphyxiating on its own vomit.
Compare with the excited, passionate and loud #NOKINGS protests! - this one in Glendale CA bsky.app/profile/lurk...
The awkward squeaking amongst the silent crowd is delicious
What are those? WW2-era Sherman tanks?
Yup
This is like the world's saddest military parade.
Wow that crowd must be at least 1 deep
🎵"It's like ra-ain, on your military parade..."🎵
Wait, whut? there's a female on that tank..how did that happen? I'm surprised Hegseth didn't object...
I’ve seen bigger rainy day attendance for a Magic Kingdom parade.
Such an embarrassment to this country…tanks and troops parading through Washington, DC like a conquering horde and for no other purpose than to stroke the ego of a single man. Well, maybe two men…I’m sure Hegseth is getting some perverted thrill from this display, also 😒
Sad
I’d be chucking rocks at that shit.
What an international embarrassment
This is humiliating and I’m glad there’s no rain. No rain = no excuses for such pathetically dismal turnout. 🥳👏😂😂😂😂😂😘
Absolute silence! I wonder if it is hitting home to the 😂 ”crowd”
Are people holding signs, or do they instantly arrest anyone who does that?
jfc, a thursday afternoon parade in gretna during mardi gras season draws bigger and more animated crowds.
What a sad little parade 🥴
What has America become? Pathetic.
Let the rain commence.
Storms or bust⚡
Lol it was bust!
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⛈️
Hail would be cool.
targeted lighting bolts please
I haven't rooted for rain this much since we had that draught scare in the fall
The rain is just as welcome as the reign is not
this is tragic I love it
Not joyful at all SAD!
The crowd can hardly contain themselves 😭😭
Squeaky and creaky
Kamala was right-- elect Trump and all our tanks will sound like shit
Oh my goodness. The quiet squeaking in front of a few dozen people blankly staring. Honestly striking. I didn’t expect a big crowd, but this is shocking.
Are they on only one side of the road?
This is a pretty small crowd by DC standards. No? Compare to Pride last weekend?
And there is fog!
Nice
It’s harder to get a front row seat at a Disney park parade.
Wrong tune ladies and gents. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgeI...
And the crowd goes mild lmao
They all look beside themselves with excitement.
lmao couldn't even grease the tank treads properly eh
They're WW II era Shermans. And tanks always make a lot of noise.
If j6 was among the most horrible moments in American history, this bag of dicks parade for sure is the most pathetic moment. Makes the country look like a fucking clown.
All the tens of people.. the HUGEST crowds!! 🤡
Strong “Village Fête in England and the WW2 reenactment society are putting on a show for the kids” vibes.
Thunderstorms incoming — right on time!
I'm not familiar with the Army's new blue t-shirt bdus in tank 2. Is that #CosplayKristi?
There are really small towns all over this country that have better parades! And bigger attendance! 🇺🇲✌️🦋
No clapping for the soldiers? WTF?
Love to see it
#LoserEnergy
Please inscribe on my tombstone, "died of third hand embarrassment on behalf of all the absolute dorks in Trump's military parade"
is this one of those 'humiliation rituals'?
They’re waiting for the band to play Macho Man.
Half the crowd is just waiting to cross the street
😂🤣😂💪
Tiny crowd compared to what we’re seeing at the protests
"Golf clap" -- killin' me.
Golf Clap 🤣😂
They have the attendees outnumbered
What a travesty. The ego of an asshole denied the #USArmy the celebration it's 250th year of Service deserved. Coming from a family of Veterans, dating back to my granddad's service in WWII, I found this charade despicable. My late grandfather Eugene E Marx Sparta, WI
With full respect to soldiers and their sacrifices, Americans suck at marching and you can see it was put together last minute. That said, it’s sad that soldiers had to practice marching at all for this.
I feel for that band. Depending on who it is there are some top tier groups in the armed forces, but I have heard more excitement for a highschool band in a town of 4,000 people.
They’ll add the cheers of adulation in post-production.
Crowd density looks like a local parade in my suburban town
Interesting? They are parading down Constitution Avenue as they wipe their A$$ on the constitution
This isn't their choice. Focus that anger on the ones who put them in this jam.
Agreed. I’ve heard the military not happy with having to be there - or in LA.
Is Trump even there???? I would think he would find this beyond boring!
Sean Spicer, call the office
What a sasuage fest. Nothing but chodes for miles.
Dang, the crowd is almost 1.5 people deep in some places
Many places along the way, probably all the way, we had 3, 4, 5 people deep, less only if the sidewalk didn't allow more, here in a smaller city in low-population Montana. #nokings brought out unbelievably many people! Poor donnie must be so sad, ha ha.
😂😂😂
Trump asleep yet?
My town has about 1,000 people in it and we had a bigger crowd at our peaceful No Kings protest today. 😊😆Sheesh.
umm..are military parades supposed to be quiet?
if the smithsonian metro isn't filling every train, is it really a party at all?
bsky.app/profile/that...
Better view: www.earthcam.com/usa/dc/washi.... Parade is on the right side along with the not-needed big screens for the non-crowd.
What's going on just left of the bottom middle. Seems to be a growing crowd for something. Portapotties?
Transport away? Certainly looks like a line of cehicles.
This Earthcam should go viral. Wow! 🌍📷
LOL
$100 millíon taxpayer dollars for an ego fest.
I've seen a bigger crowd surround the street performers at the pier in San Francisco
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 True!!
Nailed it
Lol same
Looks like there’s more marching soldiers than there are spectators.
The Smithsonian gets more than that during any day for the Folk Life Festival in July. In. July. The 🍊💩 can't get that on a mild Saturday in June. Pitiful 🤣
SAD
He's a good dog but the rally I went to had several good dogs so
Never could’ve heard that dog barking at the protest I was at today. It’s like dead silence there.
LOLOOOL
its fucking silent lmao
That's not a crowd
I’ve seen bigger crowds on fun runs in my small town
I think there were more people at my Mom's small town founding day parade today. And this is a rural town in Alberta.
Crowd looks small compared to No Kings in Miami
The crowd looks small compared to No Kings in Swampscott, MA lol.
Consider signing re: Pam Bondi & Ashley Moody, chng.it/tBHk9xtV5Z
I've seen much larger crowds for the Cherry Blossom Parade
Sparse!
Sad! No one there!
So much empty
Bet most of the viewers are family members of those in uniform marching.
Pathetic...sad for all those who are marching and participating in the charade
I am watching the live feed and man, for getting everything he wanted for his birthday, tangerine taco sure don't look happy. I think we rained on his parade.
Pathetic. Sorry for our military to be used as props by pigs
And the cost!!!
There's a joke in here somewhere about this authoritarian regime using tanks to tear up Constitution and surprisingly not many people are into it.
Meanwhile, back in the UK we had the Trooping of the Colour today. I think we do it a lot better!
Revolutions tend to have that effect. 😎
likely there were more AMERICANS watching the parade with an actual King than are watching the parade of their own head-of-state who's just a pound shop felon (most def. not a king)
If we're on the meaningless, useless parade bar, this isn't much better. Money wasted would be better off helping pensioners pay their energy bills.
King Charles 1st Trooping the Colour was estimated to cost £10 million. Polished, Professional, well executed and well attended Trumps 1st Temu Trooping the Color $45 million A shambolic meandering to the tune of a protest song about a draft system that allowed rich draft dodgers like Trump
And God smiled on the weather in London 😎. Less so in DC ☔️. 🤣
The same obscenely expensive, irrelevant old tosh for the aggrandizement of an entitled old man
I bet you're fun at parties
Thanks. You're right: I love a good party. Not so keen on a bunch of preening gits poncing about like the cast of a B-movie set in Ruritania, at huge expense to the rest of us.
Parade might be better, but kings must be removed wherever they are.
Lol. I'm old enough to remember HM Queen riding a horse in that.
I was watching it this morning, definitely much better and infinitely more dignified than anything related to Trump.
Yup
No one does pageantry like the British. Our idiot in charge shouldn't have even tried.
colonialist shit hole
With a real king!
Hahaha, we had a bigger crowd at our protest in Louisville.
Kim Jung Un is gonna have a good laugh at this 😂
Look at that, there must be...tens of them
lol
Disappointed in every member of the Army that decided to participate today rather than uphold their oath to the constitution.
All the money they spent could have paid for Medicaid
The second hand embarrassment this is giving 😂😂😂😂😂
There were more No Kings protesters in our area than what are pictured here.
But hey - they all got a good view🤣
There’s more people at our local Fourth of July parade.
Not 250k
You could say there were around 250,000 people there, but only if you then divided by 1000.
I wonder what they’re going to claim the turnout was.
Pathetic
For comparison on the same street when Nats won World Series youtube.com/shorts/xAyoi...
3-4 deep for the Boston Pride Parade which went for at least half mile.
How pathetic. Shame on you for promoting this.
Sean spicer is going to repeal down from a black hawk and tell us these were the biggest crowds in the history of military parades. He’s been stretching out for 10 days.
Smaller crowd than a Bills Victory parade?
That’s about the size of our neighborhood’s July 4th parade, but with fewer golf carts.
Sean Spicer will say there were billions in attendance. 🤣
Sad 😂
What a waste of everyone’s time and money.
God bless our troops. God damn our President.
Still way more Nazi fill them I’m comfortable with.
bsky.app/profile/fran...
“ One deep” is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while 😂😂😂
"One Deep" sounds like a great new nickname. #OneDeep #TrumpParade
If it was about the military, people would be there for it. But most people know this is about him and want nothing to do with it. He’s politicizing the military and most people, even a lot of his voters, are deeply uncomfortable with that.
Even most of the GOP bowed out www.thedailybeast.com/gop-lawmaker...
100% many of us in dc would also be there to support the army but trump’s involvement made us go protest out in maryland or virginia
Larger crowds form in Missouri when a new gas station opens.
Pathetic is the MAGA feature, not a bug.
this is a sad maga wet dream cult rally.
That won't be what Karoline Leavitt has to say.
Where’s the little wannabe orange man child?
The crowd at my #sacramento #nokings protest today was shoulder-to-shoulder and several blocks deep in all directions.
Sooooo thankful relieved this parade didn’t draw even a tenth of us no kingers. Boohoo rained on OT’s parade.
BIGLY IMPRESSIVE
More people in it than watching, looks like a HS Homecomming from a smaller school.
I was at a protest in a DC suburb with 10 times this many people 🤣
All you had to do was say it was super boring. No one was happy. It rained And it wasn’t a party or a parade
Looks a Health and Safety nightmare if those 200 people all want to leave at the same time.
I’ve seen bigger crowds for the Vienna (VA) Halloween parade.
10s of peoples
10s of people one deep. 😂
Started early?
Apparently trying to avoid rain.
More soldiers than civilians
We need more people to walk by and refuse to stop and fawn over this disgusting display. Make him real mad. Maybe he'll get so mad he has an aneurysm and fucks off permanently.
More people at the football hall of fame parade in Canton, Ohio every year. Feel sad for those that marched and played.
FYI this is how you bankrupt a casino
#OneDeep
pathetic
THANK YOU for some actual news reporting today. Looks like they paid just enough attendees to cover the road.
And how many of them were hired for the day?
I'm going 50/50. That is 50% hired, 50% ordered.
MAGA too busy making America Great Again to attend baby felon's birthday bash.
This is just all the moms and dads of the soldiers isn’t it
And spouses, kids, grandparents, etc. Mil families of the parade soldiers alone could account for the “crowd.”
Sad
Meanwhile Louisville, Kentucky had over 7,000 people peacefully protesting the Trump regime (this is a video of people returning from a march; this is a small portion of the peaceful protesters)
Any idea how many attendees are paid?
Hopefully none. I’m hoping they saw straight through that $1K in cryptocurrency lie.
Who holds a parade during dinner time?
Yall are pathetic as fuck What a sad state of affairs the U.S. is in, but when you elect an abject conman who is also a rapist and also a turbo hypocrite This is what you get when the rest of you have no guts, or spine and your media is a disgrace Fraudsters run your military and gov now
We didn’t vote for this..Trump and Elon has admitted on more than one occasion that they cheated and Elon bought the presidency for him. We the people are doing our damn best. If the Dems and GOP in power actually did something to stop this madness that would be great.
Let's record our protest totals! I have a database where you can plug it in from any state! Here's a sample of just some from MA. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Ugh, Bluesky shortened it and the link didn't work. This one will: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Alt National Parks has a tally, but I don't know if one can get the complete list.
Thanks. I know some groups try to get their own numbers, but I fear it misses lots of other groups. I know this isn’t perfect, but it’s a start and can be copied or analyzed.
I'm very sad for our military. They deserved a huge parade. But because Trump made it about his birthday, few people attended.
I guess, but honestly hauling out all the hardware and blocks and blocks of marching troops is a look I’ve always associated with the USSR and N Korea
Have we ever had a Military Parade like this?
Oh my god???
It's almost like this parade was for one man and one man only
Giant waste of money for a little man and his ego
💯
Looks like it was poorly attended and a huge waste of money.
Good. When I was a kid, I lived in a town so small it could be considered a village. We had better turnout at all of our parades.
This is the best...😂
Suckers and losers parade.
Please, have some respect. It is now perading.
#NoKings #NoCrowd #NoInterestInThisBullshitParade
#ColossalWasteOfMoney
I guess you drew the short straw
Can we get a refund?
Wow. They can all be in the front row.
That’s sad. Our crowds are deeper for our St. Paddy’s day parades!
Pretty sure the crowd was bigger in Carson City NV for NoKings
This parade is not just pointless; it looks cheap.
More people at No Kings in Cincinnati.
Yeah nobody's there, everyone's at the Josh Johnson shows
Now that he’s successfully humiliated the US Military, can his work be done? Hegseth could do him a solid and send up a Signal😉
We had a great crowd at small town Natick, MA!
#FascistGathering
😂
"one deep"?? Joke.
I think there are some there in solidarity with what an impossible position these troops are in. Just saying.
Leavitt, tomorrow: "the largest audience to ever witness a military/birthday parade, period, both in person and around the globe."
😂
🤣😂🤣 You know it!
Wonder how early they got there to be sure to get a good view?🤣
I wonder how many attending answered a Craigslist ad.
1 deep
Maybe they're waiting for a chance to cross the street.
The one dude trying to become a tree 🤣🤣
This are fewer people along 47’s toddler toy parade than there are along Disney’s Main Street Parade on a daily basis.
Love this for him
One deep is crying out to be a hashtag. #OneDeep
#OneDeep 😂
Sad
Everything he does is an embarrassment on the international stage. Everyone from the Administration to the SECDEF and our CJCS should be ashamed of themselves!
LOL All that money to prove to yourself how much you are HATED.
The best human guardrails money can buy
Good! Fuck DJT!! 🤬🤬🤬
Pathetic. All for one immature simpleton.
There are more protesters lining the street I live on than this!
Tens of people. 😂
The safest place on earth today🤠
I’ll be saying “that parade was one deep” this week
Half of those people probably recruited off of Craigslist for a $5 McDonald's voucher that expired in 2005.
~ 💀🤣🤣🤣
I saw the ad
Less than 4$!
One deep in sections
there's more traffic on the sidewalks of constitution on any given day. I am so sorry that the Army has been forced into this selfish display. Soldiers deserve much better than being pawns
Looks like the Kansas City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade when it’s forty degrees and raining
This thread is sad. Think of the millions wasted by a dude who called soldiers “losers and suckers” and who has severely eroded services for veterans. This parade isn’t about celebrating the Army. It’s about celebrating HIM in militaristic, Dear Leader fashion.
That's so small! 😂 #parade #Protests
That's what she said.
🚫👑 wins the day
Hahahahahahahahaha GLORIOUS
one row deep rofl
bsky.app/profile/laur...
Will you be providing final estimates of attendance? If not, do you know who will be? I just queried and no one seems to have numbers that are factual only estimates done six hours earlier.
Best guess...
Impossible for me to say. Crowd is deeper and more enthusiastic toward the end. It’s downright quiet up toward the front.
So maybe a hundred and ten?
"The throng is lined up one deep! Back to you, Mel."
I’m so fucking angry. Our troops deserve so much better. Anyone who ever spent all afternoon polishing boots & squaring away bunks knows this is wrong. I salute the soldiers & I goddamn anyone who voted Тяцмр & put them in this position. Army, if you’re listening, I have a domestic enemy btw
Poor bastards. They aren’t the enemy #nokings
tearing up 'constitution avenue' with tank tracks seems apt.
Many of them are press! Lol
His fragile ass ego is gonna need a win. Iran may be in big trouble.
It's so pathetically small...
Not the first time that phrase has, er, come up around Trump.
$45m of our tax dollars for this bullshit
It’s absolutely bullshit.
The Suffragists had a bigger crowd.
So very pathetic. His crowds are as tiny as his hands.
Tampa’s annual pirate-themed parade draws easily 10x what I’m seeing on the National Mall today.
GASPARILLAAAAAA
I was in that parade once as a teenager! It was fun.
I’ll take drunk pirates over a North Korean-style tank procession any day.
10s of people.
Severals. 🦗
😆😆
I’ve been to the 4th July parade in DC and it had a way bigger crowd! 🤣
I’ve been to one in Stoughton Wisconsin with a bigger crowd — and more interesting floats
It's the family members of the musicians lining the street.🤣🤢🤡
More people protesting in Boise Idaho than watching this stupid tank parade
It legitimately looks like a small town parade with that kind of attendance
🤣🤣🤣🤣nobody showed up
Ouch. This is sad.
How many were paid? And how much for stand ins these days?
There were bigger crowds at the Marine Corps Marathon
This is comforting.
We have more than that in our Ancients and Horribles 4 Parade in Northern,RI
Maybe just dont cover something that isnt interesting or newsworthy
I wonder if Elon Musk can explain this disparity. Supposedly many millions of people voted for t-rump. Why aren't they there to celebrate his lame parade? 🤔
A bunch of hateful people stand for Trump at this point is more disgusting than ever! NO REAL AMERICAN at all should be supporting Trump.
Hahahaha. We had more people at our No Kings rallies in small southern towns!
LOLLL this year's straight pride is looking wild
I think there was a larger crowd at the CARS Tour race just down I-95 South. They may have stolen his crowd.
To bad there isn't a way of showing respect for Army's 250th without having to go to trump's birthday
lol there were more people at the no kings protest I went to
Anemic
LOL.
Did you see where they “thanked their sponsors”? Phorm energy (owned by Dana White) and a bitcoin thing
What is this? A PARADE FOR ANTS?!?!?!
Nearabout two deep.
FOXTROT DELTA TACO
Massive waste of resources
He made sure all the troops had to be maga and not fat. We will see who infiltrated the army
He had ads on craigslist and they will be paid $1000 in crypto
A curfew or what?
🤣🤣🤣 Dozens enthralled!
Literally dozens of people
This is like a small town parade where there are actually more townspeople parading than watching
Gaspee Days parade in my town gets more spectators than this.
The Lentil Festival in Pullman Washington has a far more enthusiastic crowd
My town’s Memorial Day parade had a more enthusiastic showing.
My town with a population of 2500 has better 4th of July and Christmas parades than this pathetic joke
I literally just said this to my husband as I read this thread 😂😂
Now you’ve got me wondering if half the people watching are family of the people parading…
Definitely And now those soldiers are really embarrassed in front of their family
If I participated in shit like this, not even my mother would turn up to support me
Gods, I don’t think I could turn up to support my son and that kills me because I’d try and support him in everything but gods, kid, I’d have never liked you joining the military at all (Quaker) so marching for this fucking twat? Might be a bridge too far. I’d love him from a distance, I think.
But they’re probably not even throwing candy to the crowd at this one. Everything fascists do is trash.
WHERE ARE THE WEIRD CLOWNS TRAILING THE HORSES CLEANING UP THE HORSE POOP?!?!?! How is this a good time?!?!?!
Yeah, and those guys in the mini-cars! We used to be a proper country.
omg this is hilarious
In addition to protest marches and rallies, we have many more options for peaceful resistance to the authoritarian regime. These two web sites outline many nonviolent strategies. You can choose the ones that work best for your community. beautifultrouble.org commonslibrary.org
Thank you for sharing this🤗
I thought it was a perade.
😆
That's about the size of the line for the porta potties at our rally in Olympia WA!
Yes!
And that gathering was awesome, I hear. Thank you for being a part of that!
Too creepy
Friends and family members have to support...
This man did not win this election
That's my thinking also. The computers were tampered with.
Ask musk
For comparison to the “yoogue” parade by the most powerful military in the world, here’s the turnout from the 2025 St. Patrick’s Day parade in Killarney.
Wow one deep Literally more people came out to protest Vance in the MRV
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has thousands more people watching every year.
Feels like NK
Our small town high school homecoming parade has more people.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A 4th of July parade in small town Iowa has a better turnout
Sad
Everyone hates the orange rapist dude
FOXTROT DELTA TACO
and yet people voted for that asshole.
"No Attendees"
I hope the tiny-handed man grinds his teeth to dust tonight. what a fool
This is so much better that it didn’t rain much. So so so much better. Little baby traitor bitch no one showed up to your birthday!!! HAHAHAA
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who ever heard of a parade starting at 6:30pm? That’s crazy late.
He wants fireworks as well
Ugh, We have to wait til 6:30 to see the parade, then wait around with two cranky kids til 9 or 9:30 for the fireworks? Then find my way back via the communist metro to the hotel we booked in Silver Springs? Screw that!
We went to the local No Kings protest at noon, we had fully protested by 1:30, picked up smoothies on the walk back home, it was a lovely day.
Just in time this evening for the thunderstorms
He wants it on prime time tee vee 🙄
Is prime time even a thing on Saturdays? I haven’t watched TV on a Saturday night since Love Boat and Fantasy Island were on.
😆👍
FOXTROT DELTA TACO
I hope it stays that way ...
Hahahahahahahahaha
Gosh, there were tens of people there.
Seems like a good place and time for a nice quiet picnic
… with tanks
The tanks won't judge your potato salad.
At least the tanks aren’t shooting people… yet.
I heard that some people (not saying it was me) may or may not have RSVP'd for tickets (under a pseudonym) with no intentions of attending.
This is the way America tells the birthday boy, how much we appreciate the damage he has caused us, in 5 short months !!!
Be sure to stay at home if you can be there!
You can hear the birdsong it’s so quiet.
Trump is gonna feel like Peter Brady in that episode when no one came to the party he threw for himself because he was being a pinhead to all his friends.
This is so sad. They cherry blossom parade get more people.
📌
Weather update?
Take your ‘Trump is a pedo signs’ people
CNN is reporting that he moved the start up to 6... he's afraid to get his hair wet.
He can’t even stick to a start time for his own damn parade. TACO. EXCUSE: The crowds were smaller because we started early.
They are still small... lol
Guess they figure there is no concern in starting early since there won't be anyone showing up at the original start time anyway
Trump "claims" to support vets but his budget cuts to VA prove otherwise.
LOL
'Plenty' is a kindness.
Looking forward to all the ghastly photoshops this administration's inept IT choads will put out tomorrow.
Ha.
Must be the weather 🌧️⚡️☔️
📌
Thank you for doing this thread. Much appreciated coverage!
i look forward to several days of fascists posting obviously photoshopped images to try to prove attendance was high, while everyone else sighs and points at the reams of video evidence proving it wasn't
I feel badly for the soldiers. They’re being used as a prop and won’t even get appreciation for it.
They’ll get over it. And they’ll associate this debacle with the administration for the rest of their military careers. They finally see his disrespect and contempt first hand. Marching them in thunderstorm conditions. #NoKings
And signing a flag with his sharpie! 🤬
What? I don't watch TV and get all my Trump shit here. But he signed a flag? FFS. Ugh.
No...?
My shitty town parade is more packed 6 hours prior to parade start. Trump even fails at parades.
Crowd at 6:12pm - note the completely not-needed big tv screen on the right for the 75 to 100 people attending. There are several more that will also not be needed since nearly no one is there.
More Portopotties than people.
Ha! I said the same thing.
bsky.app/profile/harp...
this is great!
Thanks for sharing that camera. I’d never seen it, and I love it. Also, great to see how empty it is. It was much more crowded when I was there on a random day in October.
The weather is not cooperating. Doesn’t look like we’ll have any rain during the ceremonies. 😞
Looks empty 🤣
Every single person there would have turned Anne Frank in
I suspect a lot of them are people who aren't online or who only watch Turner Classics or tourists. They heard a noise and went to see what it was.
FOXTROT DELTA TACO
Del taco
I love some crinckle cut fries
lol
No kings party was a much better party!
I hope it stays that way.
Hard pass.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🥳
Trump reports park service says 3 million people showed up...lol
🤣😂🤣
ouch
This was kinda what I hoped would happen. No one (or very few folks) would show up and the “parade” would be a total flop
🤣🤣🤣
They'll be photoshopping pics from other parades when Bullshit Barbie gives her press conference.
I thought they were paying people to sit there?
But I thought he won by millions?🤣🤣🤣
it's for an audience of one
I say again, they did not plan enough budget for paid fawners. 🤭
For extremely rich people who pretend to believe that all the crowds protesting them are paid, they never seem to think to hire some of those crowds for themselves.
I’m not sure how much he’d need to pay per person at this point, but I’m sure attendance will be mandatory for some enlisted.
I wonder how many bailed when they learned they’d be getting paid in Trump memecoin.
Oh, shit, really?
It makes for a good joke, and he totally would try that. “Here have some of my Monopoly money!” 🤣
Actually, I think they were offered $1000 in cryptocurrency. At least the craigslist ad I saw said that.
WTF are Balfour Beaty pumping into that building?
Or maybe they're just sucking all the cash out of the Federal Reserve.
I guess that craigslist ad didn’t help get them the people they need
To be far, they're not offering salsa taste samples at the Trump Ego-Stroking Parade, which they occasionally do at Aldi. Might help them tho.
Because people aren't as stupid as you'd like them to be, bootlicker.
OP is not maga
If this is sarcasm, he needs to telegraph that.
Are you on drugs?
Do you have a point?
Do you comprehend what you read?
You're here to help? Really? How does being an arrogant douche nozzle help?
I cannot help those who aren't willing to be helped but I have an endless supply of mutes would you like one?
Imagine me giving a fuck.

He’s an idiot for holding a parade in a city that hates him.
Wait… Is there a city that doesn’t hate him???🤣
📌
are there any vendors there? me and my dad are debating whether we'd go there if we were in dc as tourists and had nothing else to do and his answer depends on if there's beer or not
How’s the weather?
Parade starts at 6:30 pm, concert and fireworks at 8 pm. Weather Underground (no, not *that* WU) gives a 98-99% chance of rain beginning at 8 pm. My schadenfreude level is also 99%. www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/...
Ah, bother, the largest chance of rain has been pushed back to 9 or 10 pm.
🎶And isn't it ironic? Don't you think? It's like rain on your military parade🎶
Thank you for that allanis earworm
Me, too!
I guess that ad on Craigslist didn’t pan out.
Nope
I refused to watch this silly-ass $millions dollar parade so I appreciate your step-by-step recap. This totally met my expectations which were limbo size to begin with.

I checked the radar. Hellacious rain coming but not until 11:00. Womp womp.
The problem is there’s not enough gays there to get a hurricane
and not a person of color in sight in a city where 3 in 5 are other than white.
Hopefully there will remain many many many good viewing spots.
Directly into my veins
Ha!
You know it’s a great parade when there are more people in it than watching it.
Looks like they're staying away in droves! LOL.
Thank you for documenting all of this throughout the day. It’s important to get some honest views of the crowds. I can’t wait to see how the White House will spin the crowds as “huge.”
This I like.
Biggest crowds ever 😉
Where’s Spicer to lie angrily in a poor-fitting suit about how this is the largest crowd in world history
How did this lame duck show cost so much. Even the hot dig vendors must be losing money with this turnout.
