You should have seen the end; Kristi Noem came out in a cheerleading outfit and twirling batons. :thup:

Trump’s parade isn’t what he was hoping for. It was a disappointing, sad affair​


The uniformed soldiers marched irregularly, slightly off beat; the turnout was small and the crowd seemed defeated

If Trump was expecting a display of pomp and pride that rivaled his own egotism, he may have been disappointed. The parade, as it turned out, was something of a disappointing affair. The uniformed soldiers marched irregularly, slightly off beat; the turnout was small and the crowd seemed defeated, low-energy, a bit wilted and unenthused after spending hours in DC’s brutal summer humidity. It rained. It was all a great contrast to the large-scale protests that had exploded across the country earlier that day, with millions taking to the streets in jubilant displays under the banner “No Kings”.

In this way, though it has become easy to fear and hate Trump, it has always remained a bit hard to take him seriously: he is a simulacrum of a strongman dictator, doing the things he has seen strongmen dictators do on TV. It can feel buffoonish, this self-referentiality; it implies a lack of spontaneity, a sense that perhaps, if he needs to prove his own power so badly, Trump might not actually believe in it. But perhaps this is another lesson of our age, the one in which irony and sincerity have collapsed, and in which the dictator tries, with evident effort, to hit his marks on the screen: just because he’s faking it, doesn’t mean it’s not the real thing.

I'm glad that the world gets to see how many grumpy old goobers wasted that beautiful Saturday...instead of focusing on real life,,,,
and if you notice, they've really quieted down...It's not a good time to be one of that particular minority...
There are people here locally "congratulating" others, and saying they wish they would have been there...
When they had bragged about going the night before...and then removed the posts...
We didn't tell them they left up a picture with a misspelled sign...;)
Yet, the "protesters"disproved their own point...
They're so disappointed that these gatherings went off without a word from anyone in the government.. Protesters carried signs and shouted things extremely critical of the President and his administration. No one was arrested for participating in the grumpy goober rallies...
That is exactly what democracy and our constitutional rights look like... The goobers are so confused about the freedoms they have...
