As Reagan said:
Peace through Strength!
Nothing wrong with showing our strength, especially on the 250th birthday of the mighty United States Army.
(Trump is demonstrating National pride and respect for our military and the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice. It also sends a message to our adversaries and the world in general. Those who hate America can watch Whoopie on The View.)
Absolutely! I can’t believe any true red blooded American citizen would oppose this, unless they’re actually not patriotic with pride for our military, past and present.
The Courts have shown themselves to be illegitimate servants of their Leftist totalitarian masters. No help is coming from that quarter. The rule of law has degenerated to an increasingly threadbare pretense of law. At some point, the authorities will stop bothering with the pretense. That applies to both Democrats and Republicans.
I will just smile and wave as the parade goes by. What else can I do? Maybe keep a low profile and be someplace else.

Good one! General Doolittle is laughing his azz off.
“Good one! General Doolittle is laughing his azz off.”
Air raid sirens sounding in Tokyo.
That would be sort of an Operation Valkyrie, where WWII German officers attempted to overthrow the Nazi regime.
I don’t think it’s time for this yet. Let’s hope this is just a parade showing off power, which would be similar to the Russian May Day Parade.
Just looked it up. Presidential Daily Brief with Mike Baker ex CIA. Pretty credible, I think.
If DC didn’t already have crumbling streets and potholes, that many tanks will make that happen real quick.
Stupid and embarrassing. The knock on him is that he is a “dictator” etc.
Stupid to throw a Red Square parade on his birthday. Plays into every idiotic trope out there. After a win in a major war, I get it... but this is dumb.
I’d rather he concentrate on his job. There is precious little time to get things done and he’s fiddle farting around with this, with bringing the guy from El Salvador back to get tried and get a not-guilty verdict, fighting with Musk, pushing more BBB pork, etc.
Waste of time and counterproductive.
Are we now a Military State? Do you want us to be? Should we be?
Lefties were saying exactly the same thing a couple of years ago about displaying the flag. I'm sure, like them, your feelings are just too sensitive to tolerate such intimidating tactics without squealing.
Then they need some white-coats with jumbo jabs riding their tanks.
Do you consider Israel a dictator or military state? Notice all the tanks and jets are US made!!

That was an inauguration day parade, and Ike had been a General in WWII.
Our folks need the practice of moving a lot of equipment by rail once in a while. Nothing wrong with that; or in doing a parade in conjunction with the exercise.
As far as cost, it isn't even a rounding error. And since we are only doing it every 250 years, go ahead and enjoy it guilt-free.
Criticizing this anniversary parade is like criticizing the display of the American flag on July 4.
Firing Democrat CongressCritters out of cannons would be quite amusing.
We’ve paid fortunes for this equipment and training the personnel. The American people deserve a chance to see where their hard earned taxes were spent.
Parade like this both displays that and gives us a chance to honor those in active duty who are participating.
It’s not like normal citizens can just walk up to the nearest military base and inspect the equipment and personnel...
It is symbolic of a Military State. Playground chest bumping is childish. We don’t have to prove how strong we are. They already know. That is why “They” try to one up us with their Military parades. When you let them dictate the rules and optics of the game then they are winning. If we do it in return it looks like we are afraid of them... It just bolsters their egos.
So this will the exact opposite of “Peace through Strength”. It will be “Hey look! They are afraid enough to try and out do us!”
Any word what brand of sunglasses Trump is going to be wearing? This is just dumb. One of his weak spots is showmanship... he confuses that with a big thing. And he thinks a woman with the FOX news look is some kind of super smart and loyal manager.
Like him, but he has a few blind spots.
This will get Libs all covfefe’d up.
(I’d rather he concentrate on his job.)
He can do both. Trump is a multitasker!
(There is precious little time to get things done and he’s fiddle farting around with this, with bringing the guy from El Salvador back to get tried)
Trump isn’t bringing him back, an Obama judge ordered the DOJ to bring him back. They are complying!
