He's actually going through with a real military parade? What the hell?
fiscally conservative party guys
You Christians keep talking about how Trump was appointed by god but this is clearly an act of a Satanically possessed monster, just look at that percent! This is a sign!!!
Steal from the poor, make them prisoner slaves, give their money to the rich party. This money will all go to the military contractor vault.
When you thought you've elected the God Emperor, but you realize you've elected a Nurgle Greater Demon...
This is Russian level kleptocracy
Use the money to help veterans instead.
The military contractor lobby outbid the medical lobby.
But that'd require helping people who mean nothing to this administration. /s
if that's not a sign from god i don't know what is
"BUT ITS TO GATHER AWARENESS" "But we already know that veterans get fucked over in this count... "MAGA" "Ok..." Walks away
Just imagine how over budget the wall will be if he ever actually tries building it.
I wonder what would happen to this country if Republican voters began paying more attention to the actions of their elected leaders rather than the gesturing and explanations given to them.
That'd require looking into what causes issues instead of blaming amorphous others.
Never extends to after their service though. Sorta like once a baby's out the womb, suddenly they lose interest.
I'm not going to pretend like military parades are really cool but I agree with everyone else saying the money likely could have been better spent on almost anything else.

So, how much of that increase is towards making Fake President the central theme? You know, large fiberglass Trump heads on the front of everything, his face painted on to everything, Trump costumes for the marching band, etc?
Military parades are only really tasteful for returning vets after a war or something imo. Seeing tanks roll down American streets in some mass parade seems weird, like we're parroting a banana-republic, or compensating for something.

QAnon people expected all the Democrats / deep-staters to be chained and paraded at the Nov. 11 event like defeated Gauls in ancient Rome. What the hell?
People who believe QAnon, mostly boomers, are living in a fanfiction of their own making. They are supremely deluded and have convinced themselves that the ruse cruise they're on is the secret conspiracy that explains everything, with cult worship of Trump an omnipresent factor. I'm going to laugh (because it keeps me from crying) if QAnon's followers get poached by Scientology.
It's even better if you're aware that the scene was actually modeled on Nazi parades.
This is probably Mattis after dealing with Trump for a year and a half https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/864/859/47c.jpg
I swear he's only staying on because he knows Trump is aching to press the nuclear button, and if a subservient goon ever took the position, we're all fucked.
Why do I suspect someone in the pentagon leaked the budget figures to the press because they wanted to get it delayed out of the foreseeable future? Didn't D.C.'s mayor and city council already basically say they were going to do everything in their power to keep it from happening? Tank treads are hell on city streets, after all.
Can we not tell him that the military parade is in space so he can go up there without knowing you need a suit? Trump exploding would be very cathartic to me (pl0x don't put me on a watch list.)
This would be good but the whole exploding in space thing is a myth you just freeze.
