There aren’t enough government meteorologists left to monitor it properly. People in the D.C. area are advised to take cover now!

There were live cameras broadcasting before the parade started that showed a couple areas pretty packed with people but there seemed to be next to nobody on the north side of Constitution Avenue. I have no doubt there were lots of No Kings protests with larger crowds than the parade.

I expect Trump to say there were more than a million people there. I'll be curious to hear an "unofficial" count from an unbiased source - it won't be pretty.

No one was happy with them. Now that Glorious Leader is bringing America back from the dead, the NPS might be issuing estimates again.

Trump’s birthday party parade is only about halfway through.

The live coverage being provided by the local TV stations shows otherwise.

Do your own research, as the kids say.

It looks like the same coverage on every channel. Here are channel 5 and channel 9.





I live six miles away. Yeah, it looks as if it could start raining at any time. The big problem with air quality is smoke. That’s why the air is so hazy.

After watching for a few seconds, a jump to the next chapter, a few seconds later and it was a jump to random spot, then another jump. Unbelievable trash.

...moving in slow motion. It was a far cry from a Kim Jung Un military parade. He failed at even coming close to looking like a dictator, despite pretending to be one.

Ketchup is gonna fly tonight, and the planners of this s--- show are gonna get fired over this disaster Monday morning.

Trump looked really pissed off

and the soldiers were not enthused either. you could tell by the lack of sharpness when they marched.

We can do better. Or at least, I'd say that, but "I hate Jews" isn't enough for people to believe a claim of "Antisemite" so I guess we have to roll with it. The guy's a grifter at best and a terrorist at worst.

Hamas Piker is a fucking fraud and is an anti-Democratic mouthpiece for Hamas and Hezbollah. Fuck him and fuck those that support him.

24. Oh, you're welcome to.

I won't alert on you. Shit, if Piker himself showed up here on DU I wouldn't alert on him. I'm a huge fan of freedom of speech, because only truth can set people free.

I'll say this. If you're quoting Piker, you're quoting a Hamas terrorist. You're spouting Hamas and extremist terrorist propaganda. You're inundating DU with Hamas terrorist talking points and you're, by extension, wishing death on LGBTs, you're wishing death on women for showing their hair, you're wishing death on blacks and minorities.

That's IF you're quoting and supporting Piker. Because he supports that all, explicitly and vocally. Verbatim.

But you wouldn't do that, right?
