Legislation would block Trump military parade
Washington Examiner ^ | Feb. 8, 2018

New legislation would effectively block President Trump from staging a military parade after the idea of tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Ave. drew comparisons to North Korea and the Soviet Union.

The "Preparedness Before Parades Act," introduced Thursday by Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., would create rules that make such parades nearly impossible.

“I have severe concerns about the cost, diversion of resources, and effect on readiness of a large-scale parade seemingly conceived only to please the whims of the president,” Schneider said in a statement.

The Roman Senate didn’t want the Legions in the city either…for a good reason.

Trump is just trolling these communist assholes.

Like this would ever happen.

I heard Stern say Trump should have Stormy Daniels ride straddle on top of an ICBM.

Good laughs all around, Trump has a wicked sense of humor

The parade needs lots of tanks and weapons or it is pointless. Quit thinking practical. This is a political statement designed to troll the left and the “Conservative” falling for it.

The thing to do is for those of us who KNOW that LIEberal Democrats are our enemies is to ensure that they lose House and Senate seats in the November elections.

They have convinced themselves that by “acting out” as anti-American, childish, churlish and petty, they can gain the upper hand in November and stop POTUS FRom Making America Great Again.

Let us open a giant can of whoop ass on these despicable people and sendem packing in November!

What say you?

How about a section with Cherry Red Teslas driven by the last living men who walked on the moon? Parade’s gotta have that.

Well, until he came with that stupidity I was not particulary in favor of this.

So, let’s roll.

March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory
We’re the Army and proud of our name
We’re the Army and proudly proclaim

Verse:

First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation’s might,
And The Army Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle’s won,
And the Army Goes Rolling Along.
