Those soldiers have the opportunity to do the funniest thing
Set aside that day on your calendar to go to the nearest mass protest to you.
Working on sign ideas:
“Remember Your Oath”
“Your Oath is to the Constitution”
“Is this the same Army that defeated the Nazis?”
The last one gets my vote. 👍
Better yet, set up a protest to block the parade route.
Calling it now, he wears a military uniform during the parade. It's on my America Falls bingo card.
He hates and cannot comprehend the idea of military service. He thinks it is far beneath him. I don't think he would want to be caught dead in a uniform.
He'll wear his same tailored suits that try their damnedest to straighten out his grotesque figure. He may wear some nonsense bauble on his lapel to signify that he's in charge but that's about it.
tailored
That fat fuck is too cheap to have his suits tailored. He wears them off the rack in the wrong size.
He's very particular about his appearance (and quick to denigrate the appearance of others). He probably spends a good deal of money. He just doesn't get good results for that money because he's never had the personal discipline to actually be healthy, and ya know, he's fucking 81. There's only so much a suit and bronzer can do.
And in horrible shape.
Apparently he wears Brioni, which are expensive, but he wears everything baggy enough to hide his gut.
Personally, If they're going to do this, I think they should get another 60 soldiers to do it right
One of the defining things about American power was that they were so big and powerful and all present everywhere in the world that you didn't need big military parades of helicopters, jets, tanks and armies marching through the streets. The world knew they were powerful.
No better sign of respect than to have the world know you are the strongest by not saying or doing a thing to announce it.
It's like a mafia ... you don't need a big display of cars, guns and things to know that they are top dog and control everything.
Wanting to show a big display of military hardware and big groups of soldiers is something a third world or developing country does to show a bit of strength.
It's like the US wants to announce to the world that they are strong ... because they know they're losing ground.
What a fucking loser.
People thought "Gulf of America" was just Trump being ridiculous and egotistical, but to me it now seems clear that it was intended to lay the groundwork to ban press like AP. I believe that was a multi-step plan. The administration is not stupid, they're getting everything they want. Everything is working out in their favor. That is not by accident, that is not the result of stupidity.
It's worth pausing and considering what kind of non-stupid, multi-step plan would call for a large accumulation of likely Trump-supporting soldiers with military equipment at Washington D.C.
Is that what this is? Who knows. But I think it's naive to attribute any of these actions to just ego-stroking.
A triumph for Diaperius Maximus. America is now a parody of itself.
Calling DOGE, looks like there might be some budget cuts that can take place here...
Also it's sick to think a person like Trump could get a parade like this.
Would someone please pull a parade permit for that date before THEY pull a parade permit for that day.
6600 soldiers, but are any of them heros?
I'm sure they'll find at least MoH recipient they can show off.
Well that’s fucking disgraceful.
Kim Jong Un will be trolling hard. - No dance or tiffos? This is what you call a Sad birthday! Look at my huge parade for my 42nd birthday, it even had nukes you looser!
Suckers and losers.
Boo! Everything sucks!
Why not just make it an even 6,666 soldiers? Or would that be too much on the nose?
Good thing they're cutting out waist....
