    This comment section is perfect proof that most people literally don’t read news, and have the memory and attention span of a golden retirever puppy.

    This is the sphere in Las Vegas it holds a standing room capacity of 20,000 people or about 2.3x more people than attended Donny’s birthday flop parade.

    Pathetic.

    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. Niiice

      Old military equipment is part of any parade though, the tank in the photo is a ww2 Sherman.

          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.

                There are bootloads of Things you can blame Trump for, but dodging the draft for such an unnecessary stupid war is something everyone remotely intelligent person would have done if capable

                  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

    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.

      My highschool was more than 2000 people. And it was so new that our first semester was on two different campuses and they were still building int around us for another two years when we did move in.

      Now I live in a very different area. The localist mega church gets 17,000+ butts in seats each week.

      8500 people is less than normal tourism on a Saturday for DC. It was actually a net negative for attendance over just a normal day.

      Not even 4 for my area. Those are some pretty small schools if it took 8.

    Not sure I believe that number. But hell, I can’t estimate crowds to save my life. At one point I was in the largest rock concert of all time, still have no clue.

    All I can say is the one I went to easily had 2,000. And that’s in the reddest part of Florida, and only 1 of 2 protests in Pensacola.

      Not sure if I’m misunderstanding you here… But the number from this post is for the stupid military parade in DC with the tanks, not the no kings protests. I’ve seen claims that there were over 6 million attendees for those.
