200k expected. 20k attended. Over 50k protested in DC beforehand. 11M protested nationwide.
Happy Birthday, Dickhead.
I hope he gets our birthday wish and he keels over. That'd be fucking epic.
I only glimpsed it on the news channels on the TVs at the gym yesterday. It's interesting that it was originally hyped as a birthday parade for him, but all the clips on the news were labeling it as a parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the army. I guess the birthday parade shit didn't poll well with anybody.
Also pretty hilarious that nobody really celebrates the 250th anniversary of anything.
To be fair, most things dont make it to 250 years. I'm sure July 4th next year will be pretty poppin, though.
Usually you celebrate the xxxth birthday of someone/-thing even when they're dead. Last year for example was the 300th birthday of Casper David Friedrich, a painter. This year my city is celeberating it's 750th birthday and I believe the university will soon celebrate its 600th birthday
Most...I didn't say none...
I attended a No Kings rally in a small suburb that nobody here has probably ever heard of. We easily beat Trump's numbers. LOL
20k attended? Damn, they could have just given everybody $2000 and skipped the $40m parade. I'm sure people would have enjoyed it more.
Or just, y’know, fund the VA.
Do you think he cried a little? I hope he cried a little.
The Craigslist post didn't bring in enough seatfillers?
I wonder if that was real or not, but I don't wanna stop the fun lol
11m? I guess that 3.5% rule is about to be put to the test.
The thing with the 3.5% that most people keep missing, is that it needs to be 3.5% of the population consistently engaged in protest, not just in a one off event.
Also that it is bullshit.
Where were the DC protests? That sounds like a large number and I know the No Kings protest organizers excluded DC from their planning because they wanted to draw focus away from there. If it was 500k in DC that would have been fairly substantial because that would be larger than the 2017 DC women's march, which was the largest protest since the Vietnam war and was so large it encompassed most of the national mall. You couldn't actually march anywhere because people were shoulder to shoulder.
It was 50k, not 500k. I mistyped and corrected it. The protests in DC were staggered from the morning hours and ended by 4PM in accordance with permits.
