The silence of the crowd is LOUD🤭
The Mummers get a better (and more fun) crowd than this.
looks super lame ngl
What is that high pitched squeak?
How un-American to have tanks rolling through our nation’s capital. Go rain!
Seeing tanks on Constitution Avenue isn’t a sight to celebrate. Beyond disturbing.
wow that's weak
Let’s not forget that it was a recognition of our military, so here’s this tidbit:
the irony of WWII troops. Who and what did they fight to end again?
Is it that squeaky sound piccolos or the tank treads?
If you listen carefully, in the distance, you can actually hear Steven Miller’s head explode.
Well, that looks…boring.
I really hope this gets rained out, that'd be so fucking funny.
Digging the Shermans. Kinda feel bad for the paraders. In any other context this could have been cool.
I know you're busy But What does the street destruction protection look like?
Pathetic
🤣😂 How is it possible to make a parade this boring? Elementary schools do better!
This looks smaller than the smallest #NoKings protest I’ve seen today
Pff call that old? Russia would press that into service.
Got to be great for those streets
I've seen more exciting small town 4th of July parades
All I’m hearing is road damage.
🇺🇸 Happy 250th 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 US ARMY! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 Screw you,Trump! 🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫
woo fuckin’ hoo let it rain….
Those are Shermans. Like from WWII
I'm so hoping someone eggs a tank.
Tomorrow’s headline - yuge crowd - bigley size 🤡🤡
Sounds like Army needs WD-40
Shitty turnout for a shitty person!! The #NoKings rallies across the country have many many many more people!!! He is outnumbered!!
Question: Are tanks always this squeaky?
Wow! Must be scores of people there!
Oh brother... and i feel bad for our boys in blue. What a sad experience for them.
Did they make clapping a detainable offense? Or does this parade just suck?
I wonder how they feel looking out from atop of those tanks at the measly turnout?
They sure are quiet, must be really boring. Usually at parades people are cheering, clapping and waving. Like having fun. This is not that.
Lmao. Those are museum pieces. Patton would be proud.
Sounds like it needs some WD40
This is some weak shit. 🤣
Are we going to get thunder and lightning, preferably right above Trump?
Pathetic!
Wow what a huge waste of time
My stomach is turning 🤮
Sorry for the low turnout. Did trump have to blow out 79 candles on his tank-cake? or did they puss out and decorate with only one candle?
How much is this costing us again?
There were more people on New Hampshire Ave. by IHOP today protesting this bullshit than are standing there on Constitution Avenue across from…what, a Smithsonian museum or federal agency headquarters building, probably?
I believe Sherman tanks once fought fascists rather than parading for them.
how embarrassing
Disgusting.
jesus i know they’re the mayo mafia but could they give them any less?? has the tone of a funeral procession
Feels like an invasion, not a celebration.
Are we gonna do this again next year??
How is the street afterwards ?
Pathetic. Embarrassing for the soldiers. We had tens of thousands in San Francisco today
WW2 tanks …it’s just like Putler’s parades.
I was in DC for the parade in 1976. Would never attend this parade!
I'd say it's just like in North Korea, but people actually turn out there.
My Kingdom for some WD40
Raindrops keep falling on my head, and shoulders, and tank, and spectators, and reviewing stand. God is laughing so hard she's crying tears of joy!
Any guess how many folks are in attendance?
It's eerie.
This costs 10s of millions of dollars and it’s literally the lamest shit a country has ever done. DPRK’s parades are a hundred times better, lol
LOL.
A less than impressive turnout
Imagine fucking up something North Korea can pull off regularly
Guy on top of the tank in a posture like, "Let's just get this the fuck over with."
If he was in one of those tanks, like Michael Dukakis, it would have been worth the waste of taxpayer money.
Those crowds are enormous. 😆😆😆
That’s a sparse crowd
Omg this looks so boring
Shameful
Trump uses army as a prop
The tanks are Shermans. You know, WW II tanks. I think the parade is a farce, but there's a reason they're "creaky", folks.
Oh those squeaky tanks.
Those soldiers don't look that excited and people seem to be out there more out of curiosity than excitement or patriotism - no cheering from the crowd visible.
Huge turnout I see. And it ain’t even TACO Tuesday. LMAO
Reagan National Airport may be shut down for commercial traffic for the next couple hours, but these guys are in the air over D.C.
When I was a kid, there was a Veteran's Day parade that had tanks, old jeeps, a marching band, and an airshow. It wasn't big because it was pretty local, we lived close to a base. That local Veteran's Day parade had more excitement and attendees than this!! Plus the kids got candy and glow sticks!
Why is that MAGAt treating a tank as if it were a pleasure boat? Disgraceful all around.
even after this? barely a crowd?
Where’s all the red hats? Embarrassed? Ashamed?
Wow. They pulled some props off an old MASH set. Yawn.
It’s like they are in Pyongyang North Korea
One word to describe the parade (or “perade” according TACO) = Flaccid.
Sounds like they need a little WD40
I hope they feel ridiculous and angry cuz they look ridiculous, pitiful really
Who would actually attend this??????
These guys would pull a bigger crowd if they were shirtless (and smiled more).
Yesss
ft lauderdale was more lit
Colossal waste, fraud and abuse. AGAIN.
Tens & tens of people! Fuck TACO
Frankly, if I were the commanding forces of the great nation of Granada, I would invade the US Homeland now as payback for invasion of Grenada years ago. Clearly there's nothing to worry about based on the parade. You got this.
This gives me Russia vibes
Look at these assholes
There are no cheers or applause Wonder how the poor marchers feel about that
Rain it out
When does he start pumping YMCA through those speakers and do his weird little dance?
They sure are squeaky
The King of America demonstrates to his fellow bloodsoaked leaders in North Korea and in the Apartheid State of Israel how to do vacuous, egotistical, narcissistic triumphalism on a big scale on an effectively unlimited budget, while the mass of the population struggles in misery and insecurity.
I can't tell if it's raindrops or my tears .... of laughter
Squeaky ass wheels. A metaphor for America 🫠😖
The crowd energy is awe inspiring
Everyone looks...bored.
I wonder if one would get tackled and beaten by the police goons if you yelled out "Butt plugs! Dildoes!"
This is so low energy lol
Compare with the excited, passionate and loud #NOKINGS protests! - this one in Glendale CA bsky.app/profile/lurk...
The awkward squeaking amongst the silent crowd is delicious
What are those? WW2-era Sherman tanks?
Wow that crowd must be at least 1 deep
🎵"It's like ra-ain, on your military parade..."🎵
Wait, whut? there's a female on that tank..how did that happen? I'm surprised Hegseth didn't object...
I’ve seen bigger rainy day attendance for a Magic Kingdom parade.
Such an embarrassment to this country…tanks and troops parading through Washington, DC like a conquering horde and for no other purpose than to stroke the ego of a single man. Well, maybe two men…I’m sure Hegseth is getting some perverted thrill from this display, also 😒
Sad
I’d be chucking rocks at that shit.
What an international embarrassment
This is humiliating and I’m glad there’s no rain. No rain = no excuses for such pathetically dismal turnout. 🥳👏😂😂😂😂😂😘
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain #nokings
jfc, a thursday afternoon parade in gretna during mardi gras season draws bigger and more animated crowds.
What a sad little parade 🥴
What has America become? Pathetic.
Let the rain commence.
this is tragic I love it
Not joyful at all SAD!
The crowd can hardly contain themselves 😭😭
Squeaky and creaky
Kamala was right-- elect Trump and all our tanks will sound like shit
Oh my goodness. The quiet squeaking in front of a few dozen people blankly staring. Honestly striking. I didn’t expect a big crowd, but this is shocking.
Are they on only one side of the road?
This is a pretty small crowd by DC standards. No? Compare to Pride last weekend?
And there is fog!
It’s harder to get a front row seat at a Disney park parade.
Wrong tune ladies and gents. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgeI...
And the crowd goes mild lmao
They all look beside themselves with excitement.
lmao couldn't even grease the tank treads properly eh
If j6 was among the most horrible moments in American history, this bag of dicks parade for sure is the most pathetic moment. Makes the country look like a fucking clown.
All the tens of people.. the HUGEST crowds!! 🤡
Strong “Village Fête in England and the WW2 reenactment society are putting on a show for the kids” vibes.
Thunderstorms incoming — right on time!
I'm not familiar with the Army's new blue t-shirt bdus in tank 2. Is that #CosplayKristi?
