About Trump's Parade

The military parade scheduled for June 14th is.....


  • Total voters
    83
  • Poll closed .
Well it is a parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the army.

It was a parade celebrating the 250 anniversary of the army. As everyone knows and recent history clearly shows, anything Trump becomes involved in is about Trump. Trump first, Trump loudest, Trump longest, Trump largest, Trump focused.

Trump has already taken control of the parade. The parade is not about the army. It is about a bone spurred hater of the U.S. Army.

It's still is the media is trying to make it about Trump because they're obsessed with him

But not because of trump because the media is obsessed with him.
Trump has already taken control of the parade.
As he should because he's the Commander in Chief.

Only according to the media a lot constantly about this stuff because there's still reeling being called out as fake news.

They could just stop being fake. But no they'll consume themselves in their vendetta. And once they die off the world will be a better place.
 
If I were in charge, instead of a parade I would have Reflection Ceremonies at all U.S. battlefields (including abroad, where possible) and something like a national week of service where soldiers (active duty and veterans) partner with local communities to lead volunteer projects—disaster prep, rebuilding infrastructure, mentoring youth, etc. I'd put the $45M or whatever (probably a lot less) into federal coordination of such activities. It's more respectful, thoughtful and reinforces the messages I believe make more sense to commemorate such an anniversary.
 
So it's about the money now?
Why didn't you say so in the first place?
I thought you were simply against Trump's idea of praising the military on flag day.
Well "of course" that is what you thought. Who actually said that?
 
Parades celebrating the army's 250th anniversary.

The parade is about Trump. He took control and it is about him. Tell me the army wanted it just like Trump planned it. They bloody well didn't and don't want it to be a huge fascistic parade. Most people in the military feckin hate parades.

That is an incredible vision. Would you consider being president?
 
I wasn't wrong. Go back and read your fellow Canadian's rant. Post #35- Context. (edited posted number)

If one calls the people of my country their enemy, why would we want people like him to be a part of our country? I sure don't. :rolleyes:

Prior to six months ago you did very well with us as your friend. Stop pulling the rope, it's dumb and self defeating.

Besides, you once told me you weren't in favor of the way Canada was being treated. I believed you. You really can't understand the way we feel?

Nah, you don't get to make a giant mess then be pissed at people for saying there's a giant mess. Saying America is our enemy is a fact, not a choice. Maybe be less smug and be a voice for a less thuggish America. Smuggery belongs to those on the high road.
 
Because you would rather bow to Trump than value our closest ally.
It was a dumb comment. It's coming out of the taxes he pays. He knows it and supports it.
 
The waste of money is the least of the damages here.... which, btw, will be less than Trump calling up the NG and dispatching the Marines to LA last week.
Perhaps, but it's the one thing MAGAs cannot argue against. They know it's a waste of money...but the libz hafta be pwned, and El Taco Gordo needs to feel bigly alpha.
 
So it's about the money now?
Why didn't you say so in the first place?
I thought you were simply against Trump's idea of praising the military on flag day.

50 million dollars for a parade and at this point Trump's folly in LA will cost approximately 134 million dollars. Trump is costing us money like mad and at the same time he's cutting services because he says we can't afford them. Trump requested a jet from Qatar that that the air force says we do not need and it will cost close to 1 billion dollars. You want to start with the VA? We still have a lot of military families on food stamps. Trump still hasn't handled the paperwork for the Nation Guard to be paid for being activated. Want to really honor the army? Treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve. Shall we go on?

Excuse me? I am sick of being nice to mean, overly defensive Canadians who clearly hate us. Hate me. See his Post 35.

Shouldn't you be directing your disgust at someone who does nothing but bash the USA and her citizens and makes your country look bad? My argument was not with you, btw.

Besides, you once told me you weren't in favor of the way Canada was being treated. I believed you. You really can't understand the way we feel?
Yes, I once said that, but some Canadians don't quit so I've the right to change my mind about my views about them and Canada. Do you understand the way that WE FEEL EVER? Do you ever understand the way I feel after reading his vile words to me. I didn't attack him or Canada. I didn't attack you. I had to read his shit he said to me. Hence, I will my author my own replies to him without you being overly defensive about it. It had nothing to do with you. He said I was his enemy. I never said he was my enemy or Canada was my enemy. That's just simply trash-posting.

You have deliberately left the context out from Post 35.

My points stand. I get to do anything I want, write what I want while obeying the forum rules.
Your fellow citizen wants to come at me, tell me I am shit, I'm not going to sit here without giving them a strong rebuttal.

I don't want Canada to become a part of the USA any more than YOU want your country to be a part of the USA. Why is that such a surprise to you?

You don't get away with saying this, (Post 35) without getting a piece of my mind in turn.
Your post is why Canadians laugh at you.

You're excusing an ego trip costing billions and raising concerns about new American aggression around the world.

He's talking about taking over Canada and planning an invasion of Greenland....backed by this once in a hundred years military show of force.

Like the Germans in Germany in 1939......'nothing wrong here'

As it stands Trump has threatened Canadian sovereignty. This parade is another leg in that chair.

You're our enemy.

Thank him.
Everything you say is projection. (your bolded above). I don't deserve your smug rant any more than I deserved his crazy rant. I am not a part of any type thuggishness. Do not lie about me and expect me not to defend myself by offering a strong rebuttal.

thug·gish·ness
[ˈTHəɡiSHnəs]
noun
  1. violent behavior, especially of a criminal nature:

I am for enforcing the law and my president has an executive right to celebrate tomorrow by throwing a big parade. Don't like it? Don't watch it.

I don't consider anyone my enemy. If I am his enemy, and now your enemy because I say I do not want Canada as a part of my country, these are your problems. Not mine. Geeezus, Nate, the over defensiveness on your part due to my post is uncalled for.


See ya around. Bye.

It's totally about Donald.

NO. Don't bother going on.
You've whined on enough to make your points.
