                There are bootloads of Things you can blame Trump for, but dodging the draft for such an unnecessary stupid war is something everyone remotely intelligent person would have done if capable

                  It’s not only about that he dodged it, but the fact that he now has this stupid parade after dodging (and still not admitting that he was only able to dodge on a falsified doctor’s note that he got because he comes from a rich family). Either you think the military is stupid, then dodging the draft makes sense, but the parade doesn’t or the other way around. He’s just doing both which is hypocritical. Not surprising though

                  The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren’t going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn’t fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.

                  Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.

                  Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.

                  Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.

    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.

    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. 🤡

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

    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.

    My home town’s 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.

      Trump would tell us that your parade’s attendance is about 500 losers, his parade had well over 200,000 very fine people.

      Our Pensacola Mardi Gras parades stomps whatever that pathetic show was.

      My initial reaction was embarrassment for Trump.

    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.

      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.

    All the mainstream media is reporting 250,000 because some trump official Xcreated that. Maybe if you include the No Kings protests going on around the parade it’s 250k

        Q: Is that a WWII tank?

        A: Sure, man.

        Q: Cool, what kind of tank is it?

        A: Sure, man.

        Q: Um, I’m just trying to find out what kind of tank it is.

        A: And I’m telling you. Sure, man.

            No, it’s an American one. The Firefly was a British variant.

      Yes. The thing was to showcase 250 years of American Army, not modern shit.
