"Trump, in collaboration with Freedom 250, the political group he launched to supplant the congressionally established organization overseeing the semiquincentennial, has turned America’s 250th birthday into a celebration of himself. After several musical acts originally slated to perform on Wednesday dropped out earlier this month in response to this politicization, Trump announced that he would be the night’s main attraction at what he termed “the Greatest Rally, EVER.” "

"NBC News estimated attendance at “more than 1,000,” while The Washington Post reported that “the crowd thinly covered an area about the length of the National Museum of American History, smaller than some summer outdoor movie screenings.”

The Post further reported that the president “did not appear to enjoy the speech” and “wrapped in under a half-hour,” adding:

He asked for a bigger turnout for his next appearance on July 4."

He ain't too proud to beg.

10. Thank you for posting

I tend to prefer reading than watching videos as a rule.

11. When I see posts linked to

googletube or xitter or some other high-bandwidth oligarch playground, I can usually find a text source within seconds of searching with Startpage (a non-google, non-AI source)

Text is information-rich with a high info to noise ratio. Video is the reverse. Video wastes gigabytes of irrelevant data to convey points which can be read in seconds. And it wastes my time. Life is too short for googletube.

Video and stills are appropriate when the image itself conveys the point, like with many of the Vietnam War images that taught the ruling class to control the press.
