I told my partner, and she asked "Does that include the band?"

Where is the 8,647 number coming from? I don't believe it was 250k, but I don't believe 8,647 either.

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.

[–] Corn@lemmy.ml -2 points 6 hours ago

Lmao yall are still angry at Trump for being insufficiently hostile to North Korea.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 29 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Thank you. I am one of those thick individuals that did not see the code hahaha.

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.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

It's worth mentioning that the entire DC Metro area is roughly 6 Million people. Calling this a small turnout for a city that size, let alone the whole country, is an understatement.

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.

Love how MTG points out how bad democrats are by pointing out DT had two assassination attempts. Fails to mention both were by registered and very openly loud repubs.

[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 8 points 23 hours ago

Lol I don't analyze every number I see and... like... scan my brain's data storage for 30 seconds to see if it match anything.

The wind of the collective whoooosh from people missing the joke could be a new major source of renewable energy.

[–] Nelots@lemmy.zip 4 points 22 hours ago

I'm sure I've also seen some news articles you haven't, its kinda hard to keep up with literally every single piece of news, especially something as inconsequential as that.

Hell, I had never even heard of the term 86 before today, and I know I'm not the only one in the comments that hadn't.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Ok that makes this way funnier

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 22 hours ago

Jesus. That's way lower than the generous estimate I considered credible enough from /r/theydidthemath yesterday.

Bernie was there!?!? See him there? In the front row? He may be hard to spot. He looks grumpy in this totally real and unedited photo.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 146 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I didn't realize he had to sit across from empty seats, that's fucking glorious

[–] WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de 167 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Fyi: here’s the unaltered image

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Why did you Photoshop a massive asshole in the middle of the pic?

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Who's he saluting? You didn't serve donny, now sit down

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe there's a North Korean general across the street?

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

You could be right but I thought he assumed other positions for dictators. You know, down on all fours like a dog ready to "accept" the supreme leader

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 22 hours ago

Like it or not, he is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Literally the highest ranking officer in the military.

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.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 39 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

He looks so pathetic standing there saluting while everybody else is seated around him.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Especially since those troops are representing the Vietnam War. You know, the know he dodged the draft for.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh was that the moment they played 'fortunate son'?

I’ve seen neater lines from middle school marching bands. What the actual fuck.

[–] Bristingr@lemm.ee 5 points 21 hours ago

It was the Army's way of protesting this shit too.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 84 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I love the Bernie photoshop inclusion, classy.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 57 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 60 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Rivalarrival 104 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (7 children)

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.
