I'm 100% convinced DOGE will stop this as it is not very efficient use of tax money.
They'll spin it as necessary and patriotic to lift the spirits of the American people, or some bullshit like that.

Sounds like a great time to do massive civil disobedience.
I'm pretty sure the DC cops wouldn't be inclined to step in if a few hundred thousand folks decided to block the parade route.
Maybe you even get someone ran over by a tank. Hmm, that sounds familiar.
I know you're being sarcastic, but I'd point out that it wouldn't be the military handling crowd control; it would be the DC police.
DC and Trump have a long and unhappy history.
First article in search.
I'm pretty sure the cops would decide that they didn't want to interfere with a legitimate protest.

We could keep another thousand or so federal employees employed for the next year for that, but yeah let’s waste that money for a non-milestone birthday year for an asshole instead.
Oh man, if we could fuck up his birthday party I would be so happy.
30 people along the route of the parade cracking tear gas grenades at the same time would be lovey to see.
This is clearly not worse than J6 and those people are heroes now.
Yes, but I don't want to see what the SS will do to people deploying "weapons" near enough to the president.
Where's DOGE on this waste and abuse?

So, 3 months in office and we’re already going to waste over $120m for this fucking cunt to play golf on the job and stroke his ego with a military parade? At least they could fire 2,400 people in an unimportant place like the CDC to offset the costs for things that truly make America great. /s
Heil Myself (Springtime for Hitler - Part Two) - The Producers
I literally just heard of this movie for the first time in my life last night and then I o see this
It’s brilliant. Skip the original straight movie and watch the movie based on the musical with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane.
What is this blasphemy? Skip the Gene Wilder & Zero Mostel movie??
It drags. Even Mel said he didn’t like it. The Broadway musical was what he said it was really meant to be.
Wow, America, you've really let an old failure of a person -and Russian asset- turn your country into a dictatorship without as much as a whimper.
Who knew it would be so easy to do it that a failed reality TV star could do it?
It's hilarious, yet shockingly sad, to see this in real time.
I mean, yeah, if it was an evil genius then I could see how it could happen, but to a conman like tRUMP? Christ.
It was kind of planned. They kept making people more and more stupid thinking it will make them easier to control. What they didn't expect is that people will get so stupid they will stop listening to them and choose other idiot instead.
Social media and News brainrot did all the heavy lifting for the last 10 years.
I guess the soldiers will like to prepare, train and do the parade for a draft doger.
Who also hates them
They'll have no choice, the "suckers" and "losers".
Sounds like a great opportunity for a massive protest.
The secret service has got to be losing their fucking minds over this. There is literally no way such an event would end well and it's just not practical to secure such a thing.
Wouldn't it be hysterical if Trump's ego was what ended all this?

So if all of the military is focusing their effort on this stupid expensive bullshit, what's the most disruptive thing a group of well organized people could do?
Organize a crowd to stand in front of the tanks.
Paint the route in pride colours the night before

I wonder if the military are practicing the goose step
Anyone in the military that goes along with this should be removed for treason

4 mile stretch. I hope they run out of people the first mile and they have to run to get in front of the parade to make it look like it's full. I hope an eagle shits right on his head too.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag
I guess he’s lucky eggs aren’t affordable. Otherwise people might stock up on them for this occasion.
Putin will be riding in the lead tank with trump.
Doubt the leader of the US would share the spot with trump...

Who does he think will attend this parade?
Seems like a great opportunity for an actual televised protest. Line the parade route with opposition

So how do veterans feel about this? Lousy ass draft dodger Private Bonespurs forcing the military to prance around in his honor?
What does the efficiency experts say about this spending? Seems a bit of a waste of cash. I mean if we have to fire thousands of people because they cost too much....then why waste it here. We don't need this, we don't need him.
🤮
Will he get to wear a giant hat? He should also have a fake military outfit with more medals than anyone.
