That’s why he thinks people are being paid to march against him. People WANT to march against him. No charge

Yes!

Nothing says dictator more than a military parade in your honor.

This f*cking “parade” isn’t about honoring the military, it’s about feeding the ego of one disturbed man. It’s a dictator playing dress-up. It’s North Korea 2.0.

And remember he doesn’t pay for the parade, it’s all bought for your tax dollars!

We say NO to authoritarianism. As Trump throws his wannabe dictator parade, we’ll be in the streets for the No Kings rally. I'll be there wearing this "Don't blame, I voted for her" shirt 👇

So even the “payment” is a scam. You can’t buy anything with $1K of crapto.

There is simply not enough money to pay me to go or even watch on tv. This is such a travesty and waste of our money!

Lincoln Square, Meidas Touch and probably a bunch of other outlets are planning live events to cover the No Kings protests. Watch those instead.

Hopefully the stormy weather that is predicted will come with great downpours and catastrophic winds. Not that those would damage the massive equipment. Maybe even some well-timed and well-placed lightning strikes would add to the excitement. Keep those lightning-rod umbrellas close at hand.

Great news stories!! 😁

After he left his trailer park MAGAts literally out in the cold while his Broligarch buddies swilled champagne and partied and seig heiled through his inauguration, you’d think they’d catch on. It’s a grift, you mouthbreathers.

I wanted to send this ad to a right-leaning friend but before I did I wanted to check if it is a legit ad. While I believe the Trump org will do anything to lie about the number of attendees, this ad may or may not be legit. Newsweek did a brief story, "Request For 'Seat Fillers' at Trump's Military Parade Comes Under Scrutiny" Published Jun 12, 2025 at 9:08 AM EDT. The reporter found, "A Google search for "T-Mellon Events" did not show the company's website or other results confirming that it was a registered business entity in the United States." "Another entity mentioned in the entry was "Fight Fight Fight LLC", a company associated with the launch of the $TRUMP coin earlier in 2025."

Newsweek goes on to say, "In addition, the photo used in the ad however, showed Red Square in Moscow, Russia. Earlier this year, it was published by the AP under the following caption:

'Russian servicemen attend the Victory Day military parade in Moscow, Russia, Friday, May 9, 2025, during celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany during the World War II.'"

So make of it what you will. Other than the protestors I certainly hope no one responded to this ad - fake or not.

Here is the problem with all you angry people. Do any of you realize now is the time to fish or cut bait!

So many of you have large followings, but from most there is endless talk!!!

How about: URGING THOSE WHO FOLLOW YOU TO GET OFF THEIR ASSES, HIT THE STREETS AND DEMONSTRATE.

STEP TWO:; ON ANY ENGAGEMENT WITH MILITARY PERSONEL, NATIONAL GUARD, I.C.E.—————-ON THOSE WHO HAVE NAMETAGS ON THE UNIFORMM WRITE IT DOWN,. SEND IT TO ANY VANUE THAT WILL PUBLISH.

THAT INFO.(I WILL)

HELL, I’M 82, IN A WHEELCHAIR, AND HAVE DEMONSTRATED FOR THE RIGHTEOUS CAUSES
