Did anyone watch both this and Trooping the Colour yesterday? Would be a fascinating comparison.

[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

There is no comparison. Shambles versus order and precision plus Trooping the Colour has a meaning to the military and the Guards take a pride in what they are doing. Judging by the faces of the US troops they would rather be somewhere else.

Thousands crowd downtown Chicago for "No Kings" protest against Trump
**See video**
A massive protest and march turned into a large police presence after people crowded Daley Plaza and city streets for the "No Kings" rally in downtown Chicago. It was all to voice their concerns about the Trump administration and their handling of ICE and deportations.
It was truly exhilarating watching the events and participating in the shouting down of Trump. I really enjoyed it. No riots in Chicago.

Perhaps this was deliberate??
Was Someone Trolling Trump by Playing Creedence’s Draft-Dodger-Slamming ‘Fortunate Son’ at His Military Parade? Or Is It Just the Further Death of Irony?
The use of Creedence's draft-dodger-mocking 'Fortunate Son' while soldiers marched past Trump at his military parade struck some as possible trolling.

Wonderful to see that those pesky bone spurs didn’t stop the blimp from attending his own back slapping.

Had the Conservative subreddit show up in my feed this morning featuring a thread full of backslapping jokes about how "those No King protests must've worked, woke up this morning and we didn't have a King"
Just a spectacular missing of the point. Really, bravo.

Trump's been using the song for a while. John Fogerty was utterly bemused at his missing the point five years ago:Perhaps this was deliberate??

John Fogerty: It's 'Confounding' That Trump Played 'Fortunate Son' at Rally
John Fogerty said he was "confounded" by President Donald Trump's use of "Fortunate Son" during a recent rally in Michigan.

Please explain. I'm not sure what you are referring to.

Look either side of the 3 stars
I believe the US Military has been using that much longer than the Russian Federation has been using it. Maybe you should ask Putin and the Russian Army.

I genuinely had to check that wasn't a parody account.

I thought it was hilarious in a really gallows sort of way. So not sure if the wow reactions to my post are because I found it funny or just shock.
“Peaceful bombing” ffs - Right up there with Kellyanne’s ’alternative facts’.
This is akin to the "humour" used by people (probably the same people) who say things like "so much for global warming" every time there's a frosty morning in January
