Quote from: Abbot Mythos on June 15, 2025, 07:02:34 PMUnfortunately for a fascist regime that produces reality TV performances for its adoring, shit-eating MAGAt followers, this show appears to have been a ratings bust. Now, the official TV rating numbers aren't in yet, but the video footage clearly shows near empty bleachers along the parade route. And, I haven't seen any estimates of the parade crowd size above 10,000 people.
Quote from: Bruno on June 15, 2025, 01:13:09 AMWent to a No Kings protest today. Turnout was about 1500, which is pretty good for my podunk little town.
Only had a couple yahoos shouting obscenities at us from their cars. I pointed and laughed at them.
Fun stuff.
Quote from: Doktor Howl on June 16, 2025, 03:47:02 AMInteresting note: The soldiers were not impressed. They were out of step, for chrissakes. My drill sergeant would have unscrewed my neckpipe and shat down it if I had marched to the chow hall like that at the end of week one.
That has to be deliberate.
Quote from: Faust on June 15, 2025, 08:18:29 PMI guarantee you the attendance numbers didn't matter and most of the event was contracted to trump family subsidiaries at a premium cost.Given the turd-in-chief is an entity of classless, bottomless greed, I don't doubt the First Crime Family made every effort to monetize their reality TV performance.
