    So 8 highschools. That’s pretty good. A well known Mexican Pueblo doesn’t even match that by at least 5 or 6 more people for Sunday church.

        The 3 in my district total over 7400. He/she must be talking about small towns schools.

      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.

                  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

    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.

    So, according to Trump after he’s told that number, “millions and millions and millions, a parade like you’ve never seen! Streets overflowing! Yuge! Tremendous! The biggest and bestest parade of all time, I’d say! Putin and Kim were seeing it on their big screens, they called me just to tell me how beautiful of a parade mine was, and asked for advice on how to improve theirs! - I just know they must’ve had tears in their eyes seeing my big beautiful parade”.

    All while frantically playing his imaginary accordion. 🤡

      I’m sure he was playing with something while talking to Putin but I doubt it was an accordion.

    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.

    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

      My opinion of SBS sunk further when they put ‘huge’ in the title of their article about it.

      Yes. The thing was to showcase 250 years of American Army, not modern shit.

        Q: Is that a WWII tank?

        A: Sure, man.

        Q: Cool, what kind of tank is it?

        A: Sure, man.

        Q: Um, I’m just trying to find out what kind of tank it is.

        A: And I’m telling you. Sure, man.

            No, it’s an American one. The Firefly was a British variant.

    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.
