The No Kings March in many individual cities outnumbered the crowd at the birthday boy’s battledress burlesque; you’re correct.

Don’t worry. I’m sure the US government will offer the Trump Organization a no-bid contract to fix those roads right up.
So, poorly executed, yes. Honestly, they’re not really great at marching, nor should they be. Outside of ceremonial units like Honor Guard, the US military sucks at marching. It’s not a bad thing. Marching isn’t relevant to combat anymore, so competent militaries don’t invest much in it. Most world leaders know this and don’t lean hard on parades for propaganda if they have an effective military, or if not, they at least spend an absurd amount of resources training soldiers to perform well enough to impress the public. What we’re seeing here is the head of an organization fundamentally ignorant of the goals and methods of a modern military, and also too inexperienced to know how to put on a good show as an alternative. Yes, marching bands get more practice marching and have higher standards for marching than most of the US military. That’s the way it should be. The problem here is that this guy doesn’t know what militaries are for, how to use them, or even how to put on a decent show.

“I’m an alpha male. The more I submit to my leader, the more they will respect me” is the most hilarious take I never saw coming in the 21st century. Then again, I never read Brave New World, 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, etc. until I was much older.

Maybe in this case, it’s not about Kevin’s interest. The speaker is mandating that Kevin be Karyotyped to determine which bathrooms he can use.
