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.

Le sigh. #Women & #girls are still under diagnosed when it comes to being neurodivergent.🙄

At our age (Author is close to my own age of 49) we wouldn't have been considered autistic when we were in school. The diagnostic criteria has changed sufficiently in the last 35 years or so that it is clear we ARE.

Good.😌

'Zackly.😌 Albeit #MarthaWells doesn't consider #Murderbot #Autistic because it's not human.🤔

(And that a very Autistic conflict to have … is my non-human Autistic-coded character Autistic?)

Heh!😁

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?

We now have the first tanks … and the first raindrops.

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.

if you're tired of that, imagine how tired I am of liberals that don't know the country they're in has been authoritarian since before they were born! "the country that had weekly rallies for the president for 4 years is only just now importing jingoistic nationalism from The Mysterious East." lol

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

Only one? Not 3 trillion? Rookie numbers

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.

the fox news feed is even worse!

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 😂

Born in Laramie in 1951. Couldn’t wait to get the hell out of WY in 1969. It was full of GOP misogynists, racists, & homophobes who went to church 3X a week then. Which is so sad considering it’s “The Equality State” & I was so proud of my suffragette great-aunts. It took courage 2 do what U did!👏👏👏

Small town protests make big time impact 💛

What town is this? Just curious- my grandparents grew up in Wyoming and they’d love to know where in Wyoming showed up. I love this so much.

Worland Wyoming! I love making grandparents proud, and I hope we’re making our children and grandchildren proud too!

Sent it to my grandparents!

Hell yeah Wyoming! To me the small town protests are the most important of all. ❤️

Right? In a three time voter state, in a three time voter little town…getting 100 people and of driver support. No one there ever remembers anyone protesting anything. Ever. 4 people gathered across the street. It’s dramatic and unprecedented. Even if it doesn’t look as big as the city throngs.

THESE are the acts that matter. These are the small things that turn the tide. I hope they all know just how much of an impact they’re going to have.

They are real American heroes!

💯

Amazing! Consider joining our movement building real change from the ground up. We connect people locally & nationally to share resources, support each other & organize for action. We still need a state rep for WY! Learn more at nosmallact.com 💜

This is so sad. It must be demoralizing for the soldiers.

It's a sleeper 😴💤 #FelonsParade

Kim does it better.

Next time he'll threaten to fire anyone working for government if they don't show up and don't applaud hard enough ;-)

Half the spectators are Secret Service and FBI. 😂 Trump’s afraid of The People and sycophants run both agencies.

Obligatory cheering is the key.

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.

Skeet/Bleet of the parade.

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.

LOL. Just commented to my husband that they should have hired Louisiana Mardi Gras consultants on how to stage a parade.

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.

I am angry that the orange idiot hijacked the 250th anniversary of the US Army for his birthday. A birthday parade by the US Army for a draft dodger...

Oh, we're not. Was it silly to spend so much on a parade the same year as DOGE-ing everything to 💩? Sure was. But, if they'd planned this on a day when it wasn't also his birthday, we could have at least rallied around y'all. Instead... ETTD.

100% I’m in CA Seems the actual adults ruled the day for #nokings Keep the shitstirrers and bad actors out of our movement.

We didn't have any today, but we did need to help guide some new teenage protesters who were ready to lose it over an ahole in car passing by and saying terrible things. A light touch on a shoulder and getting everyone to drown the guy out in a chant worked. ✌️💪

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.

What a humiliating DISASTER. Trump is finished.

Thank goodness the New York Times has a dozen reporters on the scene

The lull was the whole event

The amount of joy I have from posts like these is immeasurable 😂

Yasss

It’s probably over. Shortest parade ever. I’m sure it’s a metaphor.

I hope someone, somewhere got Stormy Daniels to do live commentary.

Cha Ching.

Meanwhile across the world.

I love this so much for him 😂😂😂😂😂

Well in fairness a news chopper over the Mall is basically unheard of

Bwahahahaha!

bsky.app/profile/fran...

😆

Prediction: The photo taken of the “crowd” from this helicopter will be edited by Trump’s regime to show 100s of thousands, if not millions, of people.

📌

"flops with a tiny"

Look at that small gathering of dorks and bored women.

😆

I hope they aren't pre-empting Wheel of Fortune for this 🥱

Birthday message to Trump: Eat a shit, weirdo!

Rush Rush!!

Not even the excitement of a traffic chopper. Sad.

When a news chopper is the most exciting thing to happen at your $43M birthday military parade.

😂

Top notch commentary! No notes.

That is likely US Park Police. Looks like their paint job. News Helicopters are never allowed downtown. Appreciate the video!

🤣🤣🤣

...saw this on the "other" platform...couldn't resist 🤭

What an absolute waste of our tax dollars! This is one of the most pathetic displays I have ever witnessed. Thank you for sharing.

That’s a dozen people

Oh, come on, it’s at least 15 ;)

The biggest crowd ever

The biggest military parade on a president's birthday in American history!

Is it also the smallest crowd ever seen by the Mall on a June Saturday? Because random local parks with like 20 parking spaces aren't that empty on a June Saturday

LOL

This is more pathetic than the Willy Wonka experience

Haha!! The Willy Wonka Experience is one of my absolutely favourite stupid things.

Was it the cartchy tuns?

I don’t know what that is!

lol

hoping to witness a coupe?

Walked down to the end of the parade route in front of the presidential viewing stand. On video boards above President Donald Trump, an advertisement for defense contractor Palantir, an event sponsor. Palantir spends millions annually to lobby the gov’t, per fed’l records via @opensecrets.org

Pretty sure that's a violation of the constitution or some code.

Hahaha. Like they care

Feckin A!

We the People paid for this embarrassing flop with our tax dollars. What are the parade "sponsors" paying for? A better question would be, how much are they bribing TACO and what do they get in return?

The whole thing was just a long, boring commercial

OMFG.

Palantir may have helped rig the votes in swing states for Trump in 2024.

Ask Musk when he is high!

Palantir gifted JD Vance the VP seat and now is magically getting every contract. Corruption is MAGA’s bread and butter.

📌

That’s “what’s dystopia?”, Mr. Trebek.

This is so gross.

Trump's Micropenis March (brought to you by Carl's Jr)

🤮🤑

Jesus Christ. Like a dystopian movie.

Palantur…stealing our data 😡😡

That Donny Two Shoes is selling opportunities to curry favor and pay tribute is just further proof this is nothing but him using his office for personal graft and political gain.

I was watching a feed on PBS, and I'm quite sure I saw a screen splash sponsorship ad from Palantir, exactly as you show in DC. It set me on edge.

Where is everyone? It's like a bunch of fake tickets were reserved online or something

I guess nobody took them up on the Craigslist offer. washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

I was bummed me and my 14 guests couldn't make it.

It sounded like a great deal! Actually I suspect this was a joke.

It was one of the best laughs I had all week. 😂

Lots of our Australian comrades bought some:)

😎

@sunshinezombiegirl.bsky.social Isn't that an amazing and unreal idea?

Man, that's incredible!

We're shocked! Truly shocked!!!

Yeah.. uh unreal lol

Yes, so amazing! >.> Maybe Twitter knows what happened!

Palantir is Peter Thiel, JD Vance’s daddy.

Yep

Crowd seems sparse.

Peter Theil - his turn to buy 🦧

An Army Parade had advertisements? How insulting!

Per @opensecrets.org, re: Palantir

📌

Fucking embarrassing that our government can be bought for the price of a 2nd-line NHL player.

what's a revolver? #nhs #palantir nopalantir.org.uk

📌

Sun, and storms, over the D.C. military parade.

Defense contractor Lockheed Martin is now getting its official thanks above President Donald Trump’s viewing platform.

The one-hour military parade is now a two-hour parade. Where the crowd is largest — opposite the presidential viewing platform — some people are being to leave early. Overheard a few onlookers wondering aloud if they’ll sing happy birthday to Donald Trump.

A massive tornado would have been perfect.

Jesus

And bonus! They're stealing our data!

That's just the bribes we know about, too.

Also planter: substack.com/inbox/post/1...

This article seems less than credible...

I am making a killing off their stock, but I still have to dump it. I have standards.

I own it too and hate myself for it but... I also own PLTY for the monthly distributions. And CXW because detention centers are gonna be big business for the next few years.

Cheesy!

Palantir WE know where you were yesterday...

The moron cheering Palantir has no idea how sinister and depraved an organization it is. Peter Thiel needs to be deported and his assets seized by We The People. All platforms with algorithms using Palantir tech, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, should also be seized.

They sell facial recognition systems that are wired throughout cities. They also collect huge amounts of data on nearly every citizen that their systems are installed. Plus, a whole lot more shady. The HQ is in an unmarked brick building in Palo Alto with no windows or visible doors. Fuck Thiel

I don’t see His Orangeness. I figured he’d stick out like his orangeness usually does.

Someone got a picture, the Mad King is having a nap as he enjoys the very expensive and wasteful spectacle he demanded.

That's on brand with this FOTUS

Fyre 3.0

And Coinbase too. Trump & his corrupt administration toadies have got to be grifting off this corporate sponsorship; it’s what they do. Meanwhile taxpayers are footing the $45M bill for this farce.

Wow. They don't even hide anything... Also. I cannot unsee the giant ghost trying to climb out of the VIP box. What IS that?

People should FOIA the shit out of all agencies that contract out to them

And Coinbase.

Guy in red was taking a leak behind the tree.

Haha

Hilarious

Boring

Embarrassing

lol

If they want to see big choppers, just go to a disaster area, assuming Trump sends help to those. We live near the Asheville airport and heard Black Hawks and Ospreys for weeks post-Helene.

Hell, I live half a mile from a hospital. We get 10-20 low flyovers a night. My back yard is cooler than Trump's birthday party, and it saves lives lol

I used to sit on the balcony in Adams Morgan and watch all the helis LOL

FOXTROT DELTA TACO

Much more energy and people in small town and big city USA where we are sick to death of that creepy conman who got 5 deferments.

😆😆😂🤣🤣 omg this gets more and more cringe

You see more choppers over DC on a regular day than this

Yikes. “…more choppers than this over DC on a regular day.” Blaming my shit first attempt on the fascism.

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

Fabulous Delicious Tacos

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.

You know I like that kid's idea!

😂

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

still tho lmao

I mean, yeah, there are fancier planes, though a nominally Army parade would never feature another branch's squadron. The historic planes are pretty cool too

Army's Golden Knights is a thing apparently

That's the parachute team innit...?

a hockey team came up for me because i forget to include 'army' funny enough but they didnt even bother getting those guys?

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...

She’s got spirit!

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”

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain #nokings

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.

It's a start

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?

View from the top. The crowd looks sparse

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 🤣
