“They didn’t have lawsuits in their BUDGET”


Not certain they would know the definition of
the word “BUDGET”; if so, would definitely be ignorant of how to achieve and use one.

Estimates for size of Washington, DC protest crowd were between 100,000-200,000. The Democrat Party, Fake News Media was ranting that Washington,DC would see it’s largest protest gathering in history. They Failed miserably!!!

I also read on this posting site yesterday that the George Floyd family does not want Democrat Party, POTUS Candidate, Joe Biden to attend the Burial Service for George Floyd tomorrow. Biden will show up today to give his condolences, but, he will not attend the Burial ceremony tomorrow!!! POTUS, Trump offered his & the nations condolences well over a week ago via a long personal Telcon!!!

Biden has to face two Primarie Elections tomorrow in West Virginia & Georgia...he will not be there either and Trump will heavily out poll him, even though Trump has no direct candidate opposing his re-nomination!!! Vote or Write-in Trump, even on the Democrat ballot!!! do it!!! Go...Trumpie!!!

The media never reports on the March For Life, which generally pulls in about 500,000 every year in January. (Unless of course it’s a story about some indian harassing a high school kid in a red hat)

However, if this rally pulled in half that, they’d be all over it.

The turnout must have been horrendous.

I’m glad it remained peaceful and that those Americans got to exercise their rights to gather, free speech and to redress a grievance with the government.

Soros is paying them. And with Antifa being designated a terrorist group, we may be able to FOLLOW THE MONEY.

“and decided never to estimate (liberal) crowd sizes again.”

“Crowd size for million man marc”

Well, according to FR’s pearl-clutching clan, there were one million protestors, the White House burned to the ground and the 82nd Airborne kneeled to Baal.

After they discovered the above wasn’t true, they went back to screaming at people not wearing masks in Walmart.

I never saw anyone call it a “million man march” all estimates I saw cast a wide net (100K - 200K).

Given the amount of people backed up on streets, including into my neighborhood, it’s a big for protests, which usually aren’t much.

This is more like 4th of July crowd or Inaugural rubber-neckers.

Yes. After all voting Democrat, the dead resurrected all over the country to join the protest.

Drawing from my memory of the Vietnam War protests from 1968-1972, which were counted accurately by multiple parties from aerial photographs, use the following guide to estimate crowd sizes in D.C. 50,000 people fill the Elipse behind the White House with a loose crowd. 500,000 people fill the Elipse and the Washington Monument grounds back to Independence Avenue with a semi-dense crowd. For 1,000,000 people add to that enough people to fill the Mall all the way from 14th Street at the Washington Monument to 3rd Street.

No, Multiple stories from the Left proclaimed a million were expected to show up this past weekend.

You are correct in that no one called it “A Million Man March” as past demonstrations have been named but the Libs did voice expectations of a million protesters.

IIRC, one time, at least, some liberal event had such a poor turnout, CNN or WP stitched in crowd shots from the Glenn Beck rally the previous week or month to fill in the empty expanse of the Mall beyond the first 5 yards of actual “crowd”.
