Just some North Korea shit, nothing to see here. Move along.
The draft dodger Private Bonespurs
Fuck this guy. I'd risk my career in protest of I were in the military. No way I'm going to dance like a trained monkey for some PoS like drumpf...

Methinks this may be part of the reason we're not in the military
I hope you reconnect one day.
Fascists have no friends or family
.ee user. What a surprise
I'm fortunate my whole family hates this guy... Other than one red state cousin somewhere in Tennessee
Let's make a four mile parade of people holding "fuck you, fascist" signs, instead.
That’s an interesting strategy question. Would it be more effective to not show up, knowing there will be swarms of magats anyway, or to create a huge protest? At what point does lack of an audience trump a protesting audience, and what will they claim for attendance?
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.
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.
See something American happening in America: "What are we, a bunch of Asians?"
Where was he when the dead soldiers were returning last week?
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.
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.
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
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.
Definitely not a dictator

all dictators like to parade, nothing new. wake up us. time to impeach that orange shit!
LOL you definitely were going to get him in jail 4 years ago.
It was ridiculous back then and now even more.
If only they would've called to impeach Hitler, history would've been different.
What a bunch of weak pussies americans are.
someone on lemmy mentioned that Trump's economic policies are north korea's juche and it is all shaping up that was
They're going to try to scramble it together last minute so newspapers can't blast out the several hundred million dollar price tag before it goes down.
There is a standing army. Where do the costs come from? Like flyovers, it will be an exercise.
Last time they refused to release the cost breakdown, but quoted 93 million (but that one sounded smaller).
So other than expenses faced by any parade, I don't know details. Transporting the vehicles, road prep and repair (city cost seemed like a big part of it), they might all get paid for anything not routine.
Either way, captain bonespurs can run a parade up his own ass
hope he rides in that ol 1961 Lincoln Continental 4-door convertible "X-100"
ik the cia prolly still has one in storage.
edit:1*961
He should show the world he is brave to travel in an open top car so his adoring fans can see him.
Where’s that meme of Obama being given a medal by none other than… Obama?
Absolute clown show
The North Koreans are always showing off with their nukes. 1up them!
No need to insult and compare NK to that pathetic banana republic
welp, he achieved the full definition of fascist dictator with that one now.
Which miles will the protests be stationed on?
In celebration, I will be taking stool softeners so that I can take multiple shits that day.
Donald goes rogue.
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
