Just some North Korea shit, nothing to see here. Move along.
No need to insult and compare NK to that pathetic banana republic
If this isn’t waste, fraud, and abuse, I don’t know what is.
Military shit is never considered as such in this country.
I’m just imagining how much logistic support they’re going to need and how many people they’ll have to move for this
It would be cool if no one went. Just him, Musk, and some right wing drifters on empty streets.
It be cool if the protests were so big they had to cancel the parade route
that gives him opportunity to use the tanks. :\
The people in the tanks needs to agree with him then ;)
Military personnel sell their morals to the highest bidder. They listen to the orders of their higher ups and hide behind the narrative that: “I’m just following orders” / “I don’t make the rules”.
As much crap is is going on in the world right now, the US military still has some scruples. They don’t just blindly follow Trump’s orders. And especially wouldn’t just fire into their countrymen. Trump hasn’t managed to take over every institution yet. Especially the military.
Service members know how to complain and think for themselves. And if something doesn’t seem right, they will clarify the heck out of it and push back. It’s not the Russian military
Yet they will gladly shoot up farmers and whole villages in the middle east because their institution and higher ups say so as they continue to blindly believe the “we bring democracy” narrative.
If you are military in the information age, you are willfully ignorant.
That doesn’t really have much to do with domestic stuff. I mean, every military does fucked up stuff, but at the end of the day, they’re made of people and have their families. Even myself.
As a service member, I educated myself on tactics, philosophy, diplomacy, economics, culture, mental health, geography, and many other topics to understand how and why military force is used. I know it’s not for democracy à la Helldivers. It’s used to keep the trade going and to conduct politics through harder power.
You might be an isolationist and that’s fine. But don’t insult the intelligence of myself who dealt with all sorts of philosophical dilemma and educated herself and others around her
Everybody knows the narrative is “I’m just following orders”
Sorry yea, that’s the one
Every so often you do get a few who are unwilling to run pwotover in tanks, or launch the nuclear missiles
Eggs would be really handy right there.
Marbles released onto the path
American taxpayers funding a parade for a felon rapist traitor who’s destroying our economy and nuking the middle class.
What a wonderful country we have.
Home of the brave my fucking ass.
The North Koreans are always showing off with their nukes. 1up them!
Just another day in the DPRK…I mean US
When there is video footage of the parade, someone needs to make a video clip that is compiled from several clips from the US, North Korean and Russian military parades and put “Entry of The Gladiators” as the background music.
*Yakity Sax.
See something American happening in America: “What are we, a bunch of Asians?”
Where’s that meme of Obama being given a medal by none other than… Obama?
The USA is extremely lucky that Trump is 79 years old. Imagine if he were 40. By the time he turned 79, they would be living in a totalitarian dictatorship. The luck is that they will suffer for another 6-7 years. Yes, Trump will have a third term, in three years there will be no free media or independent judiciary. The public administration will be turned into mindless voters. All critics will suffer the fate of the oppositionists in Russia and will become “allergic to windows”. Forget about democracy. Land of the bigots and the home of the bully.
He can (and has) done plenty of permanent damage. I don’t think age is doing us as many favors as you think. He can put us in the exact same position in 4 years a younger dictator would.
The only difference is whether or not the US can recover some actual semblance of the democracy it once was. The world is already turning away from us and I sincerely doubt we’ll be welcomed back should trump no longer be president. They forgave us his first term, but the second term with him openly threatening other countries is a line that cannot be uncrossed. With us being held at arm’s length it will be all but impossible to recover our position in the world as well as mend our democracy.
And In the end it’s not really on him alone, there are far too many of us who WANT to be isolated and aggressive because they’ve been brainwashed into thinking were untouchable, despite the fact that “America’s become weak thanks to all the gays and feelings” and “kids these days never worked a real job”. The double think is insanity
The reputation that America lost is gone for good. It will take a colossal effort and time, and these people who caused the problems are not going anywhere. They will continue to cause problems and oppose any solution no matter what.
Conservatives ruin everything.
I wish they were actual conservatives, not fascists and grifters.
My hope is, if we can win and put the maga cult out of its misery, we can change this country significantly so nothing like this happens again. Then, and only then, can we begin to rebuild some trust.
Trump has been called a super ager by some people. That means despite a highly unhealthy lifestyle he has managed to remain active and functional despite all else.
Don’t think he could just drop dead tomorrow. While I am sure millions of people would like it if he died suddenly of a heart attack or stroke, that probably isn’t going to happen. Kissenger lived to be 100 despite not being much of a healthy looking guy for decades, and his slurring speech patterns were widely mocked as early as the 90s. I am not sure if anyone who wrote his Freakazoid appearance in the 90s ever thought he would live as long as he did.
What I am ultimately saying is that he might make it to 90 and still keep going.
Please, this isn’t the kind of information I wanted today. I eat one mcdouble and feel cardiac arrest behind me and this guy can eat them on the daily
I am very sorry about that, and it fucking sucks. Although one thing I find funny (in a bitter manner) is how Alex Jones once said that the elites of the world don’t eat the same food as we do on a fundamental level. He was invoking a Stalinesque form of paranoia (Stalin really did have special farms for him personally that were staffed entirely by NKVD members), but what Trump is doing should have fundamentally laid that to rest. He is a garbage eater but still survives. Inactive, and with a foul temper that would have raised anyone’s blood pressure levels to dangerous levels but he still just lives.
I remember that. Fuck me. Goddamn vampires.
Merde et Gras?
J’ai ri.
Other unnamed officials told the paper that a big military parade will require a huge amount of coordination between the six branches of the armed forces, along with several federal agencies and regional officials.
If it happens it’ll be a shit show…
To quote Henry Zebrowski:
I have a bad idea, and I’m gonna execute it poorly
I love YPFIGTH Is that who you’re talking about?
Yeah, can’t remember the episode tho, thought it was the Cerebus one but it wasn’t.
IIRC our asphalt roads are not built to handle tank tracks and you know little king shits in pants will insist he has tanks going vroom vroom for his big boy parade.
Donald goes rogue.
Where was he when the dead soldiers were returning last week?
I know it was a rhetorical question and you probably knew the answer, but he was playing golf

Vive « Papa Trump », héros national et président à vie !
If only Trump’s core supporting demographic were educated enough to both get the reference and the joke…
