Good job on your lame ass birthday parade. What a focking colossal waste of money. Dumbasses

The parade was paid for by the country of Quatar. Our friends. 

It's also a great advertising venue now and for future commercials for the US Army. 

The US Army met it's yearly goal of recruits four months ago after Trump's inauguration. There were concerns because the US Army recruitments numbers were low in 2022 and 2023.

It's so weird how liberals hate America.

Good point. I have never seen the Mardi Gras parade in N.O or the Mummers parade in Philly.  Potentially those would change my mind.. I do suspect if i were to watch one with you, bunny, that I would end up so intoxicated I would only remember it from the police video of my arrest.

 Nahhh. I’m more seasoned than crawfish. I wouldn’t allow you to eat the cheese grits at OPP the next morning. There’s a method to that organized chaos. You couldn’t ask for a better host. Now, will you get drunk? Damn right you will.

People would wonder why you got stuck babysitting your drunken, irresponsible grandfather.  I just may need to see whether we can make this happen.  I do worry I might cramp your style as age has robbed my of the party impulse I once possessed.

 I’m somewhat of a grandpa. Get a good parking spot and when you get there, hang and watch in the back, sit in a chair and watch it from there with a cooler of beer and Gatorade. And enjoy the experience with all the sights and sounds, marching bands, and just people watch.

[League Champion 1,909]

The parade was beautiful and a wonderful tribute to our brave Men and Women of the Military.  

Ohhh, and BTW, the Military spends over 1 Billion dollars a year on recruitment.  They just got their money's worth! They recruited  hundreds of new soldiers over the weekend and expect it to be in the thousands from this. 

[Hardcore troubadour 15,208]

Just want to extend my wishes for a happy and safe anniversary to my brothers and sisters that serve and have served in the US Army. Thanks for a job well done. Except the trannies. You get the Fock out.

This is the way real presidents take care of their troops. Celebrate their dedication to this country.

Despite having the same disdain for parades as @Engorgeous George, I think that attending the Mardi Gras parade with he and @BunnysBastatrds would be a helluva good time.

Liberals raging about Trump early again today. Don't worry folks, gutterboy will be losing his shlt all day. As always. 

Greatest presidential victory ever. The gift that keeps on giving.

I would hesitate to assign meaning, or take the word of someone trying to assign meaning, to the soldiers actions during the parade on Saturday.

I would say this- if it is true that they were taking it more light-hearted than maybe the intention was that would make sense. I know plenty of people in the military now and over the years (I would imagine many of you do as well) and they don't necessarily want to be used as a political pawn. They already are to some degree because they know that the aggressiveness against the military will change functionally depending on the President at any given time but this event on Saturday was not about celebrating the military. It was about one man using them as a clear political chess piece and in a roundabout way as a celebration of himself. Why would someone sacrificing their life day in and day out for our liberties be for a superficial look like this? The men and women in the military deserve better than that. 

[Hardcore troubadour 15,208]

The army applied for a permit for the parade last year on the date it occurred.  Biden admin approved it. Suck it.

Then Trump made it about him, and a whopping 8,647 turned out.

Meanwhile, Pride parades nationwide draw between tens of thousands and millions.

AI Overview

 

 

Pride parade attendance varies widely depending on the location, with some of the largest events attracting millions of attendees. For example, the NYC Pride March in New York City consistently draws millions, with 2.5 million attendees in 2024. Other major events include the Chicago Pride Parade (over one million attendees since 2013) and the São Paulo Gay Pride Parade in Brazil, which is considered the largest in the world. Smaller parades, like the Indy Pride Parade, still draw tens of thousands of participants and spectators. 

 

Here's a more detailed look at attendance figures for some notable Pride parades:

• NYC Pride March: Consistently attracts around 2 million attendees, with 2.5 million in 2024. 
   
• Chicago Pride Parade: Reached over one million attendees annually starting in 2013. 
   
• São Paulo Gay Pride Parade: Was listed by Guinness World Records as the world's largest in 2006 with 2.5 million people. It broke that record in 2009 with 4 million attendees and has drawn similar numbers since. 
   
• Seattle Pride Parade: Features an estimated 300,000 attendees and support from city sports teams, businesses, and more, according to KOMO. 
   
• Indy Pride Parade: Attracts up to 60,000 attendees, according to Indy Pride, Inc.. 
   
• Houston Pride Parade: Historically drew crowds of around 50,000, according to Houston Public Media, though one source claims 700,000 in 2015. 
   
• Boston Pride: The 2024 parade drew an estimated one million spectators, according to CBS News. 
   
• LA Pride Parade: Expects over 100,000 attendees in 2025. 

In short, trannies are more popular than Trump.

I really didn’t care.

MAGA pretending like the Trump Parade wasn't solely for Trump's vanity and ego is borderline hilarious.

It would be more humorous if it wasn't also so cuck like. It's difficult to understand how grown men simp for another man so hard. But here we are.

I can think of no better way to honor the U.S. Army on its 250th birthday than for our narcissistic, autocratic president making the parade about himself and his birthday, resulting in a huge waste of taxpayer dollars and pathetic, embarrassing attendance while No Kings and Pride events draw tens of millions.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,208]

Looks like the libtards are upset that it wasnt President Trumps idea to have this parade and certainly not his idea to jacket on his birthday. Lashing out with nonsense.

Here is why you shouldn't take the word of a basement dwelling moron like the person you did. I knew he'd fall into the trap I set because he is too devoted to tasting my ass.

Yes the parade was applied for last year- I never said otherwise. But it was for a relatively small gathering at the National Mall and not a full scale parade and event like it became at Trump's insistence.

Maybe listen to  people who read more than one line of an article or have an intelligence that is higher than their age going forward. You would avoid quoting an autistic weirdo as fact then

Is it tens of millions now?  Sounds to me as deranged as Trump math.

I posted the numbers. No Kings drew an estimated 5 million, and Pride events around the country and world draw millions upon millions.

Trumps parade didn't even manage to hit five figures.

Freaking hilarious.

So you inflated your numbers with worldwide Pride events.  Interesting.  Why did you not add in attendees at farmers markets and baseball games?

OK, so take out the worldwide Pride events and add in all the Pride events for U.S. cities I didn't list. I only listed a handful. 

Easily more than 20 million combined. 

However you slice it, it still is exponentially larger than the 8,627 who showed for Trump's pitiful and embarrassing parade.
