"thousands"
Could mean tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands.

Thousands - by itself needs clarification. Surely it wouldn't mean less than 10 thousands, would it?

It could. It does not necessarily. YOU said NBC was estimating "hundreds of thousands". I provided a link to NBC reporting "thousands."

Exactly. And we can all see with our eyes, it is many times ten thousand.

Actually, the Civil War was the BIGGEST protest so somebody loses the bet...was there a bet?

So, if we have the Second Biggest Protest...then what do we have....

Did legislation get passed in this protest?

Bet they sold a lot of hot dogs and slurpees! I wonder how many!!????

It was a gloomy, stay inside kind of day today. Otherwise, I wouldn't be on here. You are right. It is silly, and it just keeps going, and going, and going...
