250th Army Parade in DC

You can tell the Army Circlejerk Parade was a complete bust because this thread isn’t even about it anymore

I understand your enthusiasm for the events of this past weekend but you exaggerated what was said in a way normally reserved for roundybout or redhawk. That’s on you. 

My enthusiasm? I was annoyed that I had to take the long way to the beach because of the protesters.
 

I’m judging the idea that they were paid. Don’t want to address my point? That’s cool. Back to just throwing jabs I guess. But I’m guessing without that random Craigslist post (Who the F.UCK uses Craigslist in 2025 😂) the turnout would have been millions less? Come on man.

I think it’s possible a small handful of people got paid but certainly nothing widespread. You don’t have to pay people to hate Trump. I resist taking the word “many” and translating it into “millions” the way you did. It’s not necessary to make your point and it’s the kind of thing the more unhinged people here do regularly.

Here is your military being led by a drunk POS.

But then what’s the point of hiring people if millions were going to show up (honest question; not trying to stir the pot - I hope my posts at least over the last few weeks have shown I want to do that). Adding a pinch of salt to the pile on the side of Rt5 in Hamburg isn’t making it a noticeably bigger pile. And I would argue that by even suggesting that “some” were paid tries to undermine the fact that millions showed up on their own free will.
 

Like I said, protesting isn’t my thing but just like I said I’d have a bit more respect for Trump if he said “the turnout to the parade was a bit disappointing” I’d have the same if someone on the right said “dang, a lot of people showed to those protests.” Not “many were paid” and then linking a Craigslist ad. You know what the implication was there.
