Drumpf, the entirety of the Republican party and their voters are all GROSS FAILURES…
Republicans: I know you are, but what am I?
Cuz it was a graft. They just pocketed all the sponsorships and stuff.
What was it after tax?
A net failure
that dismal display was 45 million?
It’s a parade for a grifter, they went the extra mile and grifted the parade spending too.
Special thanks to our sponsor of the US Army - Coinbase!
It looks like toy tanks and plastic army men marching.
marching.
Apparently ‘marching’ was a stretch. It was closer to walking, maybe on purpose.
this shit cost like $4k per attendee
After two hours, the event reached its logical conclusion: political speeches. J.D. Vance briefly went first. “June 14 is of course the birthday of the Army,” Vance said. “It is, of course, the birthday of the president of the United States. And Happy Birthday, Mr. President.” He delivered the laugh line of the night. “It’s also my wedding anniversary,” he said before immediately leaving the stage.
DJ PopeKillah got the parade for free!
Welcome to the parade sponsored by Carl’s Jr
When I was a young boy my father took me to the McDonald’s to see the covefe
Gross as in big (failure) and gross as in disgusting.
Both
Welcome to the United States Army and have a great life,” Trump said after they recited the Oath of Enlistment.
Trump, after they did all the “unimportant constitution” parts: “I thought we edited that out”
And his base will still support him.
Emphasis on gross
And how exactly did that failure show? Nothing exploded, people were attending, nothing at all was out of line. Just a regular parade.
The only videos I can find of soldiers marching has them in normal-ass fatigues, shuffling like people ashamed of being there. Reeks of veiled cringe.
Rofl I read that it was supposed to have “historical uniforms” with all eras of the US military represented from pre America colonial times up until now. I’m not super into military stuff but I am super into history and I understand militaries play integral part of modern history and was a little bummed such an interesting idea was being wasted on someone so shitty not like, our 250th birthday or something more wholesome. Hilarious it’s just some dudes in fatigues and some squeaky tanks
Even soldiers marched wrong out of protest.
They marched fine on nato military parades. Its like they do not respect their president or something.
I’m having trouble finding a video of that. Don’t suppose you can share one?“military parade protest” finds protests about the parade rather than in it.
It’s literally the first line of the article: cost up to $45 million, was short on attendees, long on political speeches.
Isn’t it what all parades are? Costly and propagandish? That is their essence.
And that “short on attendees” needs concrete numbers. If there were 15 people total, I would agree without knowing how many were actually expected…
Remember to just agree with the .ml and .zip gang… they’re just being fair and objective.
caring about a domain address is cringe
Not when you understand what kind of brainless worms prefer those instances.
yeeeessssss, let the division flow through you
Not sure what you mean, but I think too many people just demonstrate their “wishful thinking”. They want to convince people (themselves in the first place) that something went wrong with the parade, while it was a completely ordinary parade. People will start to discuss face expressions of the people in the 4th row, the colour of the ribbons on the left column, the weather, whatever, to find even the smallest flaws.
How much of the parade did you watch? I watched none. I think most of America will say they didn’t even bother to turn on the tv, most probably forgot it was happening at all.
Compare that to the Macy’s day parade. It was a failure. He wanted it to be a big deal, it absolutely was not a big deal. Failure.
Source of those numbers? If they are true, then you have serious reasons to call that a “failure” indeed. Where did you get them from?
I think they didn’t provide a source because there are no reliable numbers. Those may still come at a later date.
I did find these sources though. They suggest that the turnout was substantially lower than expected and that estimates of attendance numbers are hotly debated.https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-protests-military-parade
Grab photos and do what the experts do: count heads.
Even at a glance on those photos you look like a fucking braindead idiot.
Google is your friend.
Also if you’re actually into numbers and want to care about something where numbers matter: https://electiontruthalliance.org/ and https://smartelections.us/
It’s not as entertaining and more difficult to play oppositional keyboard warrior with, but numbers are numbers. You’re not a numbercist are you?
I know you’re getting downvoted a lot, but I don’t think you’re a Trump supporter or arguing in bad faith. I know what you mean.
People on the left, like myself, were always going to call the parade a failure. It was always going to be a sad, pointless attempt at spectacle. By its very nature, it was a failure. In no world were we going to say, “yeah I hate the guy, but damn if he doesn’t know how to throw a bitchin’ parade.”
On the flipside, Trump and Maga folks were always going to call it a success. Or maybe there are reports of angry red hat people who expected a better show and were disappointed. Unlikely, though.
On what terms do you define its success or failure? Yes, attendance is one. If they expected ten times as many people, then, as you say, it’s a failure. You aren’t wrong for asking for a source.
I think your original comment was less along the lines of, “how do we know it wasn’t an amazing success, though?” and more like, “wasn’t the parade exactly as expected?”

Bait used to be believable SMH.
Username sure checks out
I thought that too. Trump got what he wanted, how’s that a failure?
Narcissists crave attention. 90% empty seats is basically a bitchslap.
This, trump had 11mil attendees.
But for the other event.
Yeah literally nothing in the article to suggest that it was a failure. He screamed his propaganda, people were there for it and his sponsors got their word out.
