  • Military parade and No Kings protests

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 16 19:06:16 2025
    Hillary Trolls Trump's 'Low-Energy' Parade With Protest Pics

    The "No Kings" protests took focus off of Trump's parade and seemingly
    took his crowd too.

    Hillary Clinton mocked poor turnout at President Donald Trump's
    "low-energy Dear Leader parade," comparing it to the crowds that
    packed the streets for the "No Kings" protests that same day.

    On Sunday, Clinton shared pictures to Instagram of sparse crowds
    gathered at Trump's lavish $45 million birthday parade, which also
    marked the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. She paired those
    alongside photos of the nationwide "No Kings" protests which took
    place in every single state.

    Ha ha, cool. Except, every time Hillary tweets, Americans dislike her
    more. The only time her media presence was fun was when those two gay
    guys were tweeting on her behalf.

    New parties now! The ones we have both suck!

    Approximately 5 million turned out against Trump at the "No Kings"
    protests; turnout for Trump's military parade appeared to be in the
    thousands.

    Nobody gives a shit, including the serial protestors who attend protest after protest and don't even know what they are protesting other than the mean orange man who hurt their feelings.
    If anyone genuinely cared, they might have raised their voices during the last administrationwhen a clearly disoriented man was wheeled out to play the part of a functioning leader, while his inner circle insisted he was sharper than ever and somehow
    lapping everyone intellectually.

    They might have spoken up when Bernie Sanders was effectively nudged off the stage in favor of Hillary Clinton. Despite having a stronger shot at beating Trump, Bernie's supporters were toldpolitely or notthat they didn't matter. And Bernie, ever the
    team player, fell in line like a well-behaved lemming.

    They might have even said something when Kamala Harris was announced as the Presidential candidatedespite not earning a single primary vote and having minimal public enthusiasm behind her. Pairing her with "Tampon Tim" didn't exactly scream "winning
    ticket."

    Nothing screams "Facism" like getting your vote taken away again and again.

    It's more than that....


    last administrationwhen a clearly disoriented man was
    wheeled out to play the part of a functioning leader

    In many POTUS administrations, others are playing in the orchestra.

    Currently, Trump is rubber stamping those EOs, which others created.
    As you may know, he does not---can not--read Intel briefings, but they
    attempt to explain 'what's happening.' I highly suspect his reading comprehension is very low....

    'Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.' Didn't Mean What Trump Hoped It Did

    The president said on Fox News that he had to remember those words as
    part of a test that he said demonstrated his mental acuity. But the
    test, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, is meant to detect signs of
    dementia, Alzheimer's disease or other conditions.

    Pretty good points, actually. I'm mostly inclined to agree.

    I'm very curious to see if the Dems learn their lessons and learn how
    to be a credible party again. So far, not seeing any learning going
    on. "The end of dumocracy" wasn't a good enough talking poing.

    There's a huge opportunity here for a smart party to say "enough of
    this nonsense." But we haven't got one of those.

    As for the comment about Biden's senility: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LgNdzbYwsvY https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0RBQ-ern--8

    Maybe we should be done with this government of geriatrics entirely.

    oh please, the guy is 800 years old and either had a stroke, went
    catatonic, or was tripping his balls off on enough acid to choke a
    donkey. But the Republicans couldn't shut up about Biden's declining
    cognitive ability.

    I'm only pointing out the double standard.

    Yes, but measuring reasoning abilities is what is important.
