No it wasn't. Not even close.
Complete non event.
Per SECOND'S figures, that's 3000 per event.

If somebody CLAIMS a certain number, they can, and should, provide pictures that back up their claim. Not pictures that show the opposite.
Did someone say pictures? There were 2,169 different protests across the nation drawing 4 to 6 million protesters. Roughly 2% of the entire population protested on no Kings Day. There is plenty of video showing the crowds, enjoy.

Nobody cares.
None of it even happened anyhow.
And at the end of the wasted weekend, those few who did go out into the streets accomplished nothing. Would have been time better spent watching Netflix.
Back to work tomorrow.

Oh. BTW... Did you talk to Bill Gates about sending some food to those 300,000 kids that are starving half a world away yet?
I think with 4 to 6 million imaginary people what were out in the streets these last two days, you probably could have all come together and done a great job saving those 300,000 imaginary kids that are dying of starvation that you already forgot about since last night.
Maybe all 4 to 6 million of you could have marched on Bill Gates or at least sent him an email asking him to spend some money to buy them food.
Assuming these protests were 8 hour shifts, that would have been a more worthwhile use of a collective 64,000,000 to 96,000,000 man hours that you pissed away collectively screaming into the void on Father's Day weekend.
Meanwhile... I wonder how much is left of that USAid money that was parked offshore in the last month of Biden*'s presidency after paying for the weekend.
Why wasn't Ted and Second at the rallies? Because they weren't offered a paycheck to show up to them. Once that money runs out, there will be less people showing up to any of these things than a Democratic Candidate rally in 2024.

He has pointed out that up to 6 million protesters came out to support the violent criminal Terrorist Illegal Alien Invaders who murder, rape, kidnap, traffic humans (& drugs), enslave children and sex victims over the weekend.
Also points out that this is up to 2 percent of the US Population.
It points out the US Population is 340 million.
Let's see, the Fake Census 2020 reported, after Libtards massaged the data, that there were 334.7 million residents in 2020. Normal Population growth for 4 years brings us to 344.6 million. Another year to get from April 2020 to April 2025, gets to 347.1 million. Plus Biden's 30 million violent criminal Illegal Alien Invaders in 4 years, brings us to about 377 million residents. hmmm. Guess we need to factor Libtard Maths conversion to get to 340 million.
With up to 2% of the entire population supporting the Criminal Illegal Alien Invaders, this means that only a mere 98% of US residents did not come out to support them. This is a miniscule figure. 98% is practically nothing.
Even if all of the 6 million protesters were each one of the 30 million criminal Illegal Alien Invaders, then a whopping 20% of the total came out to support their own crimes. That's very impressive. For only a mere 80% would have not come out to support their own criminality. 80% is an insignificant number. It is practically nothing.
Clearly, Trump should be very afraid of these honest American Citizens protesting in support of these criminals.

Quote:You remind me why Trumptards are attracted to Trump's "I Alone Can Fix It." You also remind me why Trumptards don't prosper, except when they cheat, lie and steal. That last is a reference to my many decades of experience with Trumptards' depravity, a fancy word for the innate corruption of their nature. Who but the depraved would associate with Trump? He has a long history of cheating, lying and stealing which is not nullified by saying his past is fake news.

Trump’s parade flopped. No Kings Day was a hit.
Right now, images largely determine the outcome
By Paul Krugman | Jun 16, 2025
https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trumps-parade-flopped-no-kings-day
America is no longer a full-fledged democracy. We are currently living under a version of competitive authoritarianism — a system that (like Orban’s Hungary or Erdogan’s Turkey) is still democratic on paper but in which a ruling party no longer takes democracy’s rules seriously. As a result those in power violate those rules so often and to such an extent … that the regime fails to meet conventional minimum standards for democracy.
Trumpists, however, haven’t yet fully consolidated their hold. America still has a chance of reclaiming itself from the grip of brazen corruption, mindless destruction, and contempt both for the rule of law and for our erstwhile allies. We don’t have to become a country bullied into submission.
But we’re teetering on the edge, and one of the most important ways we can step back from that edge is for ordinary Americans to engage in mass protests.
On Saturday I, along with friends, joined the No Kings Day protest in New York. The protest was huge despite the rain, but I don’t know how to estimate crowd sizes. Others do, however. And the poll analyst G. Elliott Morris has worked with a number of independent journalists to produce rough estimates of how many people participated in the protests nationwide, and comes up with a number between 4 and 6 million. That’s a huge number. Remarkably, these massive protests were almost entirely peaceful.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump got the military parade he wanted for his birthday. And it was a box-office bust, probably attracting far fewer people than the 250,000 the White House claimed. In fact, the optics were simply embarrassing. As the Washington Post noted,
Some in the crowd filed out as the parade continued, the number of onlookers thinning before the president gave his remarks. Even bleacher seating for VIP guests, positioned directly across from a riser for news cameras, remained half-empty throughout the program.
Why does this matter? Is counting attendance in rival rallies just an exercise in one-upmanship?
No. Right now crowd sizes matter a lot because competitive authoritarianism rests largely on self-fulfilling expectations.
What do I mean by this? While there is a cadre of Trumpist true believers who will obey the Leader under any circumstances, most of those doing the dirty work of undermining democracy and the rule of law are cowards and opportunists. They’re willing to participate in the destruction of America as we know it because they believe that many others will do the same. As a result, they believe that they are unlikely to face any personal consequences for their actions and may even be rewarded for their lawbreaking.
And what of those who oppose Trumpism? While there are heroes willing to take a stand against tyranny whatever the personal cost, most anti-Trumpists are reluctant to stick their necks out unless they believe that they are part of a widespread resistance that will grant them some measure of safety in numbers.
In other words, the victory or defeat of competitive authoritarianism will depend to a large extent on which side ordinary people believe will win. If Trump looks unstoppable, resistance will wither away and democracy will be lost. On the other hand, if he appears weak and stymied, resistance will grow and — just maybe — American democracy will survive.
So what we saw on Saturday was more than just the juxtaposition of a poorly attended parade that was supposed to glorify the Leader against massive, enthusiastic protests. We also saw a body blow to Trump’s image of invincibility and a demonstration that millions of Americans are willing to stand up for democracy.
Furthermore, other developments are also suggesting a serious pushback against Trumpism. One is the remarkable comeuppance of law firms that capitulated to Trump’s threats and signed deals agreeing to do pro bono work

You really are unsophisticated. The Bill Gates foundation has given away 100 billion dollars to the needy in their first 25 years. They are set to double that in the next 25.
And once again you are on the wrong side of good. Instead of recognizing the Gates as trying, you attack them. Sad, very very sad and dysfunctional. The Gates shouldn't have to put up with the likes of you, but this is America, so we are all stuck with you. As I've told you before. You're like a piece of shit on the bottom of a shoe. You can't quite get it all off.
As for the No King's marchers, they are trying to get the funding back up and running by confronting the actual murder of children, Trump and his supporters; i.e. you Gilligan.
About any money left that had already been allocated. Trump tried to freeze it in place. Hence, one of the many lawsuits against him that I posted about.
Why didn't I march? I could only be there in spirit because I was at work. There were quite a few people protesting at the intersection down the road. I drove by and honked my support and they waved.
You really know nothing do you? You're just a whining snowflake. One thing that is very evident is you live in a world created around fantasy. All your perceptions are flawed, polluted.

THGR:

Son, I did a search on no+kings+protest and images, and videos.
And I scanned for images and videos that showed THE MOST PEOPLE in any frame.
Sure, there were images from LA and NYC... and Peoria and Grand Junction and Coco Beach. Lots of different places, but all lightly attended., especially considering the size of some of the cities.
You can get more people to show up for a FOOTBALL GAME.
When the promoters and media want to claim a success, they frame at least some of the pictures to capture as many people as possible, cropped to eliminate the ragged edges, where people kind of fade away. Your imagination expands the crowd beyond the frame.
Another trick: people lined along a roadway looks long, but fails to show the crowd is only three people deep.
Another famous example ...Charlie Hebdo anti terror march. Pix show Merkel, Hollande, Tusk, and one or two other leaders, marching briskly, heads up, coat flaps swinging, arms linked. A stirring picture! Your imagination fills in the huge march behind them. Expand the frame (as was shown) and you realize they they're marching in an empty alley, and that was just a photo op. It's not that there wasn't a huge march (there was), but just an example of trick photos.
I've been at marches and other events, from the photos it looks a lot bigger than it really was.
Photographers aren't there to show reality. Everyone, even the protestors, are videoing from a different angle to highlight certain aspects
But do a head count on some images... as I did. And don't assume there are "many more" outside of the frame bc if there were, the photographer/ videographer would have included them.
AFA the military parade ... not anything I looked into. It was a stupid idea and like a lot of Trump's impulses, unplanned.

You say that like I expected otherwise from you. I posted responses to your post. I gave you the facts. I said here a thousand times you deny facts.
So wrong, the post serves as proof of that.
