    To spell it out for y’all, it’s a joke number.

    86 means to stop, get rid of, or kill.

    47 is the trump president number.

    So, according to Trump after he’s told that number, “millions and millions and millions, a parade like you’ve never seen! Streets overflowing! Yuge! Tremendous! The biggest and bestest parade of all time, I’d say! Putin and Kim were seeing it on their big screens, they called me just to tell me how beautiful of a parade mine was, and asked for advice on how to improve theirs! - I just know they must’ve had tears in their eyes seeing my big beautiful parade”.

          This pic is cropped so you can’t see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn’t see over.

          Edit - Here is newsweeks slightly less cropped version and all the empty space is clearly visible.

                  It’s not only about that he dodged it, but the fact that he now has this stupid parade after dodging (and still not admitting that he was only able to dodge on a falsified doctor’s note that he got because he comes from a rich family). Either you think the military is stupid, then dodging the draft makes sense, but the parade doesn’t or the other way around. He’s just doing both which is hypocritical. Not surprising though

                  The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren’t going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn’t fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.

                  Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.

                  Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.

                  Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.

    My home town has an annual 4th of july parade. They feature the High School’s marching band, about a dozen firetrucks from nearby cities, and about 160 vehicles total. The local flight school flies a loose formation of 5 Cessna 150s over the route.

    Attendance is usually between 10,000 and 12,000.
