1. I find this hard to believe

Remember, Remember the 5th of November..............

There are so many great fireworks in the UK, and the rest of the world - Australia puts on a great show.

Also, the Brit's are known for their pomp and circumstance and putting on a show - remember Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee in 2022 - the country went crazy with celebrations.

2. I also disbelieve this.

The most impressive fireworks show I ever saw was on the Thames on New Years Eve

3. 45 minutes and 850,000 shells...on paper largest display ever...

It’s disingenuous to think that wasn’t a huge fireworks display. It was our 250 year anniversary so something big was befitting even if we don’t like the president.

4. it was a trump wank fest, that's the only reason it was so big

[Melon]

5. I agree.

But it’s silly to try and say that what you just saw didn’t happen. If Japan or anyone else put that on it would have been the greatest show ever.

6. Some of 'em were genuinely pleased by the various displays

I can see how that joy could frustrate the unctuous.

8. The unctuous? You witnessed joy at the "fair?"

7. Any British tourist who travelled to Washington, D.C. to enjoy the celebration has not been paying attention.
