Looks like it’s happening. Trump wants a grand military parade.

[fskimospy]

The link I provided had examples. The Blue Angels fly planes, in cities on the ocean we have events where battleships and carriers are shown off. Don't you think cruising some carriers and battleships past a crowd is exactly that?

I’m a veteran and I find this sort of presidential attempt of personal aggrandizement to be disgusting. It’s not Trump’s military, it’s America’s military. We march for the people, we don’t march for him.

Anyone who has spent time in the military would find this to be super gross.

I wonder if the man who lives in a gold-plated mansion knows what Bastille Day was even about.

“the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you have ever seen"

 

[Victorian Gray]

Touche.

Will Cadet Bone Spurs finally get his own Commander in Chief uniform, complete with made up medals??

This might be a perfect opportunity for "The Emperor's New Clothes" scenario to play out. Convince him that his "uniform" is made entirely of the gaudiest gold medals... Of course the entire country would have to burn their eyes out afterward but the laugh might make it worth it. LOL, just kidding. I'd burn my eyes out before ever having to witness something like that.

I can't help but think a parade like this might not get the green light, if just because it would be... messy. The cost would be bad enough, but you'd better believe this would spark (entirely justified) mass protests during the parade itself. You can imagine the parade being ruined when thousands of people swarm on to the streets.

I think you might be right.

When a Democrat does it. Duh!

Democrats are anti military so that's not even a possibility.

Bullshit. Your link is a false equivelency. Show me where there has been a parade of this scale. Like Bastille day in France which apparently was his motivation for this. You can’t.

There is no scale as it hasn't happened and according to that article it's just being "brain stormed" and it's not even certain as it has "no meat on the bones".

I don't doubt that he'll be pushing for them to carry Trump signs.

They're already being printed.

When it is actually fascist activities and not just scared lefties shitting their pants over the idea of a parade.

Afraid of a parade? What the fu*k is wrong with you, you twisted, Trump guzzling, mouth breathing, disease minded, hate infested Trumpublican? So how do you personally show your inferiority prowess? I imagine it's extremely pathetic and gut bustingly hysterical. The only way you can think a parade is a good idea is if you think being a Military State is the right way for the country to go. Defending this... Oh Fu*k, you're just too stupid to call yourself human. Your mind is mush. You are entirely disgusting. Though "shitting our pants" isn't really a concern you have made it abundantly clear that you wallow in shit.

He doesn't seem too concerned either.

Who is paying for 70 ton ICBMs to troll down the streets of DC causing lots of damage??

Apparently we are this fall.

 

[ivwshane]

A parade for what? Is trump ending the war on terror? I'll celebrate that.

 

[Younigue]

He doesn't seem too concerned either.

But they still reek.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Don't worry just spray some glade and it'll take care of that.

 

[Younigue]

Don't worry just spray some glade and it'll take care of that.

Nah. Then it'll just smell like Glade and Trumpublicans.

Are you afraid of clowns?

 

[Younigue]

No. I laugh at them and call them names. Wait... Are we talking about clowns or Trump and Chumps? It hardly matters, except I like clowns.

Trump is a clown who wants to have a parade. It's not scary or 1 step toward fascism. Trump is a capitalist (and not a republican) his wealth is built on a system he embraces and has had no indications of wanting to change.

What does that have to do with the parade? I don't care if he's republican or just a shit stain he also wants to be a dictator and his followers and the GOP are gleefully falling in to goose-stepping mode.

America should be embarrassed as hell to give the appearance of countries like Russia, China, North Korea...

Lol, trump likes power and money, he's got nothing but contempt for our democracy and our economic system. His wealth comes from the darkest places of capitalism, his wealth highlights the flaws of capitalism.

He's ignored every norm and he has shown no interest in changing and the fact that you think he cares about the system that made him is quite honestly laughable.

Remember when shitheads rationale for banning transgendered people from the military was cost? Yeah he can suck my balls with this idea.

 

[kage69]

Must be pretty frustrating for Jim Mattis, trying to get the Pentagon funded for real, desperately trying to save what military moral he can from CR hell, to say nothing of what has happened to recruitment and operational readiness.

Meanwhile Cadet Bone Spur wants a parade.

Yeah I haven’t seen much positive response from this on social media either. Military families, veterans. All aggressively opposed to this from an overwhelming majority. Not scientific obviously but I’ve looked in a lot of places and it’s not going over well.

You'll have to get in line; Putin's not done yet.

The cost excuse is classic though, particularly from a guy that bilks taxpayers and enriches Wall St the way he does.

Yeah he's got quite a way with the military. Those 900 enlisted Dreamers can really feel the love I bet, and let's not forget Dump's tact and respect concerning Gold Star families.
