Still at the Parade. Planes flying over punking Trump.
We attended the parade last year and it really was a patriotic celebration that makes you proud to be an American. Everybody should go at least once! It makes your heart swell with pride.
We didn’t go this year because Mrs. POF wanted to see Oregon last year. I would love to watch Hogan and Stanford demolish Iowa this year.
Saw a little of it.
Felt sorry for everyone marching behind the equestrians.
A little confused. Rose Parade. Obama. The connection?
Over the parade.I didn’t catch it, how many homosexuals got married on floats this year?
Jeb did it.
Too bad Trump wasn’t in the parade, had he been, there may have been boos at the plane, which the media would interpret as being meant for Trump. I think you catch my drift?
The Skywriting gambit: Fail.
I never watched from the sidelines, but I did march in the Parade twice, as a member of the Glendale (CA) high school band.
I like Downtown Abbey float that is pretty cool.
I tell you one thing we in SO CAL know how throw a parade LOL!
This year’s theme is National Parks, which black people don’t visit. So the whole parade is white privilege and rayciss!
I watched the NBC coverage this year, and I have to say it was seriously lackluster. The two hosts, Al Roker and some ditz who’s last name is Kotb, gave an utterly juvenile performance.
At one point early on, Al related a tweet from someone who asked if they’d been drinking before the parade. He responded by saying “Yes, we have!”. There was no “just a joke, folks” or retraction of that statement. Considering what they were saying and how they were acting, I really wonder if either or both of them were tipsy. Not only that, the parade STILL had floats and bands to show, and they cut the program to show some hockey game.
Although it will probably do absolutely no good, I am considering emailing NBCUniversal and telling them what I think of this outrage.
BTW....they made no mention of anyone doing any skywriting.
The most notable thing I observed was at the very end of the parade there was a Sikh float with dancers along each side and the commentators went on and on about the float “Vasakhi” — named after the celebration of harvest in Punjab, India — fosters more public understanding about Sikh culture and its positive contributions to American society.
It was a lovely float with an inspirational message.
Next, some horse, a Park float and then the commentators (barely) introduced the final float ‘Lutheran Laymen’s League/Lutheran Hour Ministries’ whose message is ‘Jesus Is the Light of the World,’ after the introduction, the Broadcast abruptly ended without ever showing the float.
Seems like the ultimate in PC...
