    WSJ reported “tens of thousands” attending trumps parade which was the most honest thing I’ve seen from major papers. then next sentence was “hundreds of thousands” attending the no kings protests. While that is technically true, it misrepresenta the 5 million who protested across the country and felt like a concession to not make trump’s birthday parade look as bad.

      trump’s birthday parade

      Me looking on from the provinces: did sum real “our dear leader” shit.

      I know we won’t, but I really hope we can diversify our security partners somewhat (Australia).

      I also saw the AP say there were “dozens” of No Kings protests. According to the No Kings site, they had protests in 1,500 cities.

      Could you imagine if you asked you spouse to pick up a dozen eggs and they came back with 1,500 instead?
