Why would thru leave the bleachers empty?


Poor turnout

The No Kings marches were peaceful and as with so many previous events the violence and chaos came from MAGA infiltrators and agitators.



Same with right wing Boogaloo Bois who were responsible for many smashed storefronts and arsons in Minneapolis during the Floyd protests.

Leaving politics out of it for a second...

I'm French and we throw a Bastille Day military parade every year. This DC event was poorly executed, which is understandable, since this is a new thing for you.

You'll do better next year, if the American people decide they want to make this a regular thing.

How much were those people in the bleachers paid to watch the fascist parade?

I'll be Fox News will cal it a roaring success!! They'll have to use AI to fill in all those empty seats in the bleachers and a recording of people cheering. The morons who watch Fix won't know the difference.

OMG, clearly the planners are trolling Trump.


Agree that the Army was trolling Trump. But what is the significance of fortunate son?


Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Hoo, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no furtunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord?
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah


Did they actually play this??

There were not more than 10,000 people there. There was no crowd or rush to get in. The entrances were all completely open, they were never closed. The crowd was 1 deep on most of the route except for around 18th Street.

The tanks and vehicles weren’t in formation. They just occasionally rolled by one by one. It was weird.

I’m so sick of this lie! Many in DC support the military. I have long worked with vets. Many of whom have become close friends. My vet friends hate this parade. Going to the parade while cheering on huge cuts to the VA isn’t really supporting the military! You’re fake. DC people aren’t! We support the military 365 days a year unlike you who seem to do it when there’s a parade.


And doesn't the big beautiful bill have major cuts to the Army funding? The whole thing was ridiculous.
