A march against this nonsense should be organized before parade! This narcissist is a traitor.

ewanward.bsky.social•57 days ago

Heck, a March against this nonsense the day of the parade should be organized! The battle of the parades! I don’t recall any information from basic training on how to deal with conflict during a parade. Most of us were worrying about when to salute the grandstand.

Then he cuts cancer research for children to "save taxpayers money." Parade will cost US $60 Million.

Pathetic. Such a loser.

jvarrige.bsky.social•57 days ago

How much is this costing us in waste, fraud and abuse? Where is DOGE when you actually need them?

gerbo1964.bsky.social•57 days ago

I wonder how much he's going to charge.

tracybluepeace.bsky.social•57 days ago

This would be a huge international embarrassment especially with what he’s done to the economy!

Details like that means this is a done deal - not a potential.
I’ll be time to get in the streets for a Tiananmen Square is blockade of citizens to block this.

Good. Let King Trump show the country and world what a deranged authoritarian lunatic he is and how much it will cost. I'm sure his MAGA constituents who can't afford teeth , healthcare or college will appreciate it.

The Donny 2 Dolls Fascist Parade

What, no aircraft carrier towed by a cyber truck?

Really putting the F You in fascism this time, isn’t he

Another Hitler thing.

What a gigantic waste of OUR money. Nothing like a Nazi/Soviet style parade for magas Dear Leader to hoover up OUR tax dollars. Of course, between hegseth and trump any parade they organize will end up going down the wrong street and get lost...

This from the same guy who bought himself a dubious, if not fraudulent, medical exemption from military service at the height of the Vietnam War.

What are Indivisible’s plans for that day? I haven’t seen anything

rockymountviews.bsky.social•57 days ago

A huge expensive military parade, not even for an actual historic celebration, but for his freaking birthday.

.... as any dictator would want.

jjdovery.bsky.social•57 days ago

And here we all thought he wants to eliminate waste! The pathological narcissist in him could not possibly pass this one up. I wonder if airplanes from the Revolutionary War will be showcased.

briancartee.bsky.social•57 days ago

Can't the Army consider it an "illegal" order?

lhjh.bsky.social•57 days ago

Lucky they're addressing waste in government spending

This is just wrong…Herr tr💩mp has gone too far. He must go…

candysez.bsky.social•57 days ago

So disgusting

ndcatlady.bsky.social•57 days ago

Typical dictator shit.

bd-sint.bsky.social•57 days ago

A military parade during a country's independence day is one thing. A military parade to celebrate the leader's birthday is peak authoritarianism and dictatorship.

friesandersen.bsky.social•57 days ago

Maybe they can give him a 21-gun salute...

medusadyo.bsky.social•57 days ago

Let him have it. With the understanding that NO civilian presence is within three blocks of any portion of the route and the military engages in friendly fire from roof tops. What a celebration.

I believe DC was never repaid for the previous events thrown in our city. This will cost the city itself tax money that will not be repaid. DC is not a State, our tax resources are a single city that hosts the Fed. Govt. and is treated like a Territory.
