In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Trump also outlined a White House renovation he hopes to carry out — which he said he will pay for himself.
military parades have no value
Except to piss off your troops. I HATED being in parades to celebrate some general or another retiring. Then there’s the potential for heat injuries and troops just passing out from standing so long.
Sounds about right. You really want to honor the troops then how about taking that money and cutting every active and reservist soldier a check?
Or not gutting the VA.
Even small parades for pass and review used to result in at least a few soldiers falling out in formation. I can only imagine how long these 7000 people are going to be outside, in the heat, wasting time, before the parade even starts. Based on my own experience, these things are never well organized and with Trump’s butt-monkeys in charge, I expect worse results than usual. Some soldiers will probably die for this parade. Happy Birthday to Dear Leader, I guess.
People forget the standard advice: Don’t lock up your legs, bend your knees just enough to have a little movement without it being noticeable at a distance. Gotta find the sweet spot of hydrated without overshooting into the “have to pee every 10 minutes” range too.
Seriously… I can only imagine they’ll have to hurry up and wait extremely early and be out there for hours. If it were me, I’d be PISSED
Remember to be 30 minutes early for the commander an additional 30 minutes early for the first-sergeant and another 30 minutes early for the platoon sergeant. Commander wants you there at 08:00 and by the time it passes through the chain, you have to show up at 06:00 and stand around for 2 hours so that when the commander shows up late at like 08:30 he or she can tell you to wait around in the sun for two more hours before the practice starts. By 10:00, six people have passed out and no one knows who was supposed to bring the water and the practice hasn’t even started yet. I love military parades. /s
Correct
I post this to mock the premise of the whole thing, especially the part where he’ll “pay for it himself.” The only thing he pays for is sex, lawyers, and bribes.
He doesn’t even pay his lawyers. I’m willing to bet he’s refused to pay a few hookers as well.
It’s amazing how he hit that level of scumbag where the default response is victim blaming, anytime there’s a story about him not paying it always ends up at “are you surprised? That’s what he does.”
That’s still wrong though? I hate how he gets such a free pass
He’s proven that he can’t be reasoned with and is effectively immune from accountability. At this point, casting blame upon him is essentially the same as blaming a natural disaster for the destruction it causes. If you get burned while playing with fire, would it be rational to blame the fire?
I also hate that that’s our reality. But I see people arguing that blaming Democrats for dropping the ball gives Trump and the Republican party a free pass to be shitty and this is my dilemma.
I think it’s more schadenfreude than victim blaming - that and a dash of Leopards Eating My Face. Those type of comments are usually under such stories as MAGA lawyers lining up to handle his nonsense lawsuits in order to ride his coattails to fame and wealth, only to be abandoned when they fail to get results. Victim blaming would imply they’re actually victims instead of grifters stupidly working under another grifter.
The ironic thing is that this time he probably can pay for it, now that he has turned his second presidency into a bribe magnet through the power of Crypto Shitcoins. He won’t, but he can.
You think he pays directly for sex?
The glove-bedecked intern leaves it on the bedstand
Remember the last thing trump promised that would paid for? Did we get that check from Mexico for the wall yet from your first term, Mr trump?
Who CARES about the Price Tag? THIS is EXACTLY why we ELIMINATED the Department of Education and Social Security and the VA! So we can Afford a Birthday Party for Trump!
Throw peanuts at him during the parade.
Tomatoes, rotten eggs, wilted lettuce…
Dear Leader knows that birthday military parades are far more important than wasteful spending like meals-on-wheels, education, cancer research, and veterans’ benefits such as the veterans’ suicide hotline. You are all guilty of wrongthink. Thank you Dear Leader. Glory to the Supreme Leader and the party.
We have to hunker down and spend less but he gets a parade. And yet they’ll still defend this nonsense.
Make is so the “parade” didn’t happen. Boycott everything about it. Boycott any news. Do not mention it. Change the subject if anyone mentions it. Turn off any television channel or news that covers it. Vanish it. You never heard about it.
Can someone just give him some peanuts and skip the parade?
I hate to say it but the white house does require renovation every once in awhile. I don’t believe that Trump understands that and it was just tacked on by his staff. However it is a historic landmark. That will need airing out when Trump drops dead.
There’s renovation in keeping with the intent and history of the building, and then there’s trump’s ostentatious and tacky design preferences.
He wants to hold it on flag day which is so important that we don’t even get the day off for it. It’s not even the 250th anniversary of flag day; it’s the 248th. This is just for his own stupid vanity and selfishness (not that this needed to be explained to anyone).
Tin pot.
Just think of all the benefits like and
