      Unfortunately, there after a lot of photoshopped/ generated / cut images so it is really hard to tell if there were many people on trump’s show. I wished people would post the real photos instead of such obviously fake shit.

      To spell it out for y’all, it’s a joke number.

      86 means to stop, get rid of, or kill.

      47 is the trump president number.

      It’s worth mentioning that the entire DC Metro area is roughly 6 Million people. Calling this a small turnout for a city that size, let alone the whole country, is an understatement.

        I’m sure I’ve also seen some news articles you haven’t, its kinda hard to keep up with literally every single piece of news, especially something as inconsequential as that.

        Hell, I had never even heard of the term 86 before today, and I know I’m not the only one in the comments that hadn’t.

            This pic is cropped so you can’t see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn’t see over.

            Edit - Here is newsweeks slightly less cropped version and all the empty space is clearly visible.

            Edit 2 - Here is a NYT photo that really shows how few people really showed up.

                    The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren’t going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn’t fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.

                    Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.

                    Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.

                    Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.

                    It’s not only about that he dodged it, but the fact that he now has this stupid parade after dodging (and still not admitting that he was only able to dodge on a falsified doctor’s note that he got because he comes from a rich family). Either you think the military is stupid, then dodging the draft makes sense, but the parade doesn’t or the other way around. He’s just doing both which is hypocritical. Not surprising though

      Nice job on our military for following orders but making it very obvious they don’t give a flying fuck about drumpf’s lousy birthday. Now that is exactly what I wanted to see-- out of step marching (they absolutely know how to march perfectly, it’s literally drilled into them), old ass machinery, and never once saying HB to that ass-clown, they made it about the army instead.

      My home town has an annual 4th of july parade. They feature the High School’s marching band, about a dozen firetrucks from nearby cities, and about 160 vehicles total. The local flight school flies a loose formation of 5 Cessna 150s over the route.

      Attendance is usually between 10,000 and 12,000.

          This apple is a bit spicy, pungent, and seems to be comprised of a lot of layers.

        Our Pensacola Mardi Gras parades stomps whatever that pathetic show was.

        My initial reaction was embarrassment for Trump.

        Trump would tell us that your parade’s attendance is about 500 losers, his parade had well over 200,000 very fine people.

      All the mainstream media is reporting 250,000 because some trump official Xcreated that. Maybe if you include the No Kings protests going on around the parade it’s 250k

        They advertised for seat fillers, so a lot of those people were literally paid to be there.

          More likely they were promised payment, but have yet to collect.

              If anyone dealing with him doesn’t get paid up front, that’s on them at this point, though.

          IF that’s the same thing I’m thinking of, that was a satire piece. BUT it’s possible there was something else I didn’t see after that.
