Being anti military does not mean you are anti american it use to be a very american thing. We can thank the military industrial complex for that.

Scheduled for November 10 to meet all your 'Murica! Fuck yeah! needs.
DAMN! Why didn't DC mayor just deny parade permit? Just make up some bullshit excuse.

How about a counter parade in another part of the city starring baby Trump blimp?

Sadly, that would backfire. Even if the protest was CLEARLY anti-Trump, it would be labeled as "anti-military".
Protesting Trump via the parade would be a bad move IMHO
No, that's how Trump & cohorts would spin it. Rational, decent, sane people know exactly why this parade should be protested.

The blimp should fly prominently overheard like Radeachar, the unborn.

Maybe Trump will put a giant phalanx of ICE agents in battle regalia at the front of the parade. Just to send a message to the very fine people out there.

That's my point. It would be labeled by the administration as a protest against the troops. Just like kneeling for the flag is unpatriotic and showing contempt for the military. They will twist and turn the truth to rile up the base even more.

This is what I was thinking. Mid-November in Maryland it's unlikely. Not impossible, but unlikely. But I will send my thoughts and prayers that it happens
Doubtful. We rarely get snow that early let alone a storm that shuts down things, but it's possible. It's usually like 40's or 50's around then. We tend to get the bad snow storms in Feb and March. But of course there are outliers.

Right but I would bet a fair amount of Democrat Representatives would attend the protest.

Well apparently they are inviting Putin in the fall... maybe there will be a special guest at the show.
Ok this is sad. On cnn just now thy were saying Trump has been saying he wants the meeting with Putin to coincide with this joke of a parade.

I’m gonna go be sick now.

Well, he has to prove to Vladi that he's one of the 'big boys' too and what better way than to throw a damnbig military parade with lots of big machines that make big bangs.

I said it earlier... He wants to show Putin what he's getting for his purchase.
