I 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.

On a couple of the short video clips of the parade that I bothered to watch, I was surprised to learn that the appearance of the U.S. Army was sponsored by Coinbase, and Palantir. It had never occurred to me that the U.S. Army needed corporate sponsors to show up for photo ops. You can not make up stuff like this.

It literally happened! Yesterday, on Saturday, June 14th, The Republicult™ actually went on parade bigly! The Turd Reich, in honor of its dictator wannabe, staged their version of a Moscow Victory Day Parade in Washington, D.C.

Unfortunately 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.

In conclusion, I don't foresee the Turd-in-chief being awarded an Emmy for this reality TV show either.

Went 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.

Bravo!

Yeah, after there was no pushback, and active encouragement of the retaliatory murders on innocent civilian populations in gaza, that would have have given the government of Israel the chance to test what the limits of this new relationship was, if they were not actively working with the US to set up this operation.

My biggest fear is Iran will get support from other countries, this will lead to escalation, I Dont understand it but Bibi's goverment seem to want world war 3.

It's been my assumption that Netanyahu acted unilaterally in attacking Iran, simply because I don't believe the turd administration is capable of intentionally becoming involved in anything without turning it into an episode of reality TV. But, I admit, my assumption is extremely cynical, and I could be wrong. 

I also haven't payed much attention to Iran itself for quite a while. I've been viewing them as being a wealthy "proxy war" sponsor, but not a country having dependable, powerful allies. But, I could be wrong about that too.

So, if this thing does continue to escalate, who do you think will throw in with Iran, and also has the real, military power to actually make a difference?

Really horrified with the unprovoked preemptive attack of Iran. Nuclear talks were due to continue next week, now they are impossible which is exactly what Isreal wants, to make all out war inevitable.

Your horror is justified. I'm appalled that, once again, the government of the U.S. of A. is allowing the government of the State of Israel to dictate our foreign policy. I have never been able to wrap my head around this behavior.

I don't doubt that after Netanyahu was certain our shit-eating MAGAt-in-chief was going to allow him to blatantly commit genocide, he realized he could do anything, to anyone, anywhere in the world, and the U.S. of A. wouldn't do a goddamn, fucking thing to stop him.

Needless to say, I am not proud to be an American.

From what's happened to date, it does appear that the scattered leaders of the Resistance 2.0 are well aware the shit-eating MAGAt-in-chief is intentionally attempting to provoke responses to his fascist regime that will give him an excuse to declare martial law. I write this because most of the protests to date have been peaceful, and the fascists are not helping their cause by the ways they've overreacted to them.         

And, I agree, the fascists have turned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) into their very own version of the Geheime Staatspolizei. I believe we have a Jewish 'Merican Nazi to thank for this accomplishment. Only in 'Merica.

I suspect a few of us will be out in the streets this weekend. And, we won't even have to riot to attract the attention of the shit-eating MAGAts.

Yeah its grim that american politics is playing out in tweets.

Bribe and Bribee is a funny way to put it, my take is that the man who purchased a country (living the american dream) is now unhappy with the quality of the merchendise he paid for.

I saw something in the news the other day about the old 1950's Amos 'n' Andy comedy TV show. It reminded me of the dichotomies, like "briber and bribee," that the main characters of the show used in their dialogues. And, when I did a spell check and found that "bribee" is a legitimate word, I had to use it.

Anyway, I suspect Elmo the Oligarch's next move will be to try to buy himself a few Republicult™ senators.

I don't believe Elmo is going to give up on his dream of establishing a colony on Mars. And, buying NASA, and then control of the resources of the U.S. of A. is the only remotely possible way for him to realize his dream in his own lifetime.

I suspect this drama may have much to do with Taco Taco Turd wanting far more for NASA than Elmo the Oligarch is currently willing to pay. After all, Felon 47 has already made so much money since getting back in the White House that mere hundreds of millions here and there is starting to look like chump change. And, it is possible for even an amoral oligarch to have an occasional cash flow problem.

I'm amused, but it's unclear to me where this current reality TV episode is going. This may very well turn out to be no more than a pause in negotiations between a determined, extremely wealthy briber, and an extremely greedy bribee.

Happy belated 4/20, happy belated Easter, happy belated Pope Death day, and happy Earth Day

I've been stuck in a drug rut for the past few months. Hope everyone else has been doing well

Did you originally post this under a new Holy Name™?

In any case, I hope things are getting better for you.

Getting a little overly dramatic, aren't we?

Once the Wall Street oligarchs tell our fascist regime's leaders that an actual Euthanasia Program would be bad for business, that will be the end of it.
