200k expected. 20k attended. Over 50k protested in DC beforehand. 11M protested nationwide.

Happy Birthday, Dickhead.

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.

Fund universal healthcare. Doesn’t sit well with me that people willing to kill for a career get any special treatment at all.

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Don't worry Republicans feel the same way and are actively trying to remove that special treatment

Why would we try to help "those losers"

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

And "suckers" don't forget

The Craigslist post didn't bring in enough seatfillers?

[-] twice_hatch@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

I wonder if that was real or not, but I don't wanna stop the fun lol

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.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Most...I didn't say none...

Do you think he cried a little? I hope he cried a little.

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

11m? I guess that 3.5% rule is about to be put to the test.

[-] notabot@piefed.social 37 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Also that it is bullshit.
