Trump warns 'any' protesters at military parade will be 'met with heavy force'

[Jagged]

The medical examiner reports have been referenced.

Citing HIPAA, the medical examiner didn't make any public comments regarding Sicknick's prior health.

I'm just looking at the weather forecast for DC on the 14th.

40% chance of rain, with thunderstorm and flash flood watches.

Here's hoping.

It's true, they hang on every word, no matter how unhinged or false. Thanks to his loyal obedient lickers, his wet dreams are now daydreams, that infect us all. Too bad he didn't keep them confined to the night in his bed with the waterproof sheets and the Hitler bible on his night stand. The suckers and losers who worship him are more braindead than he is......some sad situation in this dying country.

In a word, fascism.

The long word is 21st Century Uniquely American Fascism.

Gen. Milley said 5-6 years ago, Trump is "fascist to his core." Even then too many liberals and independents were out to lunch. Just recently got back I'm afraid. Third party voters who have long hated and despised the two party system are having their day at long last.

Quite right.

Haven't seen a headline about the negative impact of tariffs since these riot began.

Clever. Like a thief in the night

There's not many areas where Trump shines. But being able to manufacture drama and spinning headlines are among the few places where he's a genius.

Yep.

The parade start time is changed to 6:30 pm from 4:30 p. For those familiar with Washington's crazy weather 4p is the time for the almost daily electrical storm and wild downpour that floods a lot of roads.

The parade route has been reduced too to something like 4 blocks starting at the Lincoln Memorial instead of 4 hours starting at the Pentagon north parking lot across the Potomac. All the armored vehicles and marching troops will be staged behind and below the Memorial on a narrow 2-lane way right at the Potomac where there's no shelter due to a vast open area on the east DC side of the river. These marchers will be in position by 4p or 4:30.

So let's hope the Storm God is as pissed off as the rest of us are. The only thing members of the military hate more than parades is civil disorder duty.

The best attention whore ever.

I haven't watched this today, don't have the time, but it relates to what is happening in the US in 2025. For those interested.

oh...


Gifted!

As a showman he's genius on toast.

A dishonest rapist but promoter personified.

I knew a guy like him years ago made a fortune in telemarketing. He was very interesting for about 90 minutes.

 

[Metric Mouse]

That's dead wrong.

You obviously haven't dealt with losers like Trump.

Ignoring them is a basic component of a behavioral extinction program... when one is as dumb as Trump, and as lazy and known to TACO, it's super easy and effective.

He wants you to get worked up. Don't give him what he wants.

Trump has the powers and authority of the president of the United States and Trump is the Commander in Chief of the massively lethal armed forces. This "basic component of a behavioral extinction program" is absurd and ridiculous. Trump is insane and this "program" would only make him desperately mad. I have no more to say to you about this so thx for the memories.

A huge lightning bolt electrified the Washington Monument around 12:30 a.m., the National Park Service (NPS) announced. Nobody was hurt in the incident, but the unusually strong bolt damaged parts of the electronic access system that workers use to operate the landmark’s doors and elevators. NPS spokesperson Mike Litterst said crews were waiting for parts to be delivered before they could move forward with repairs.


While yours truly was in Washington I with friends twice climbed the 898 steps to the top, on two different occasions. That's 555 feet straight up. Then went back down 'em again. Years later the NPS closed the steps to being tackled by the general public. Too many of the general public needed rescuing up along the stairway. (Had to be taken to McDonalds for resuscitation ha.) Stones along the stairway include those engraved with images and text of great moments in the nation's history, which is artwork precious few people ever see any more.



The current weather forecast I see for DC tomorrow is rain in the morning but a 48% chance of rain at the parade step off time of 6.

Intermittent storms of rain and thunder and stuff. In other words, a very familiar summer weather day in the nation's capital. This may affect attendance by the public. Umbrellas are allowed but not those with metal tips.

Army says the parade will march regardless of the weather. The exception is lightning given the metal vehicles and their protruding gun barrels, hand held and static flagstaffs and the electrical setup of the review platform and physical staging. Any flyover in a rainstorm or simply in low hanging clouds isn't going to work either.

I mean, who'd want to see Trump struck by lightning.

I cannot see how anyone can support a President using military force domestically against a civilian population, and whom are likely or mostly unarmed.
At this point, im just waiting for the establishment of an actual State Police.

• In 1924, Congress had passed a law promising veterans a bonus, but it wasn't scheduled to be paid out until 1945.
  
  
• The Protest:
  In 1932, with the Depression in full swing, thousands of veterans, many unemployed and impoverished, descended on Washington to demand early payment of their bonuses.
  
  
• • The "Bonus Expeditionary Force":
    This group, also known as the "Bonus Army," camped out near the Capitol and other locations, facing inadequate living conditions.
    
  • Hoover's Response:
    President Herbert Hoover, facing public pressure, ordered the veterans removed from government property.
    
  • Use of Force:
    On July 28, 1932, the U.S. Army, under the command of General Douglas MacArthur, forcibly removed the veterans, using tear gas and bayonets.

The US has no tradition of such displays of military power except at the conclusion of a war, such as the Iraqi War and WW2.

It seems like a waste of tax payers money.

 

[yankintx]

When can we expect the declaration of marital law? Before or after the parade? Thanks in advance!

Yes @Tangmo , I know....

The US has no need for displays of military power, the world is all ready more than familiar with such power.

Anyone who disagrees with a Trump supporter is labeled a far leftist or suffering from TDS, how small minded.
