Copperhead rag

Me the instant I saw this

This was the DNC speaker we didn't get btw

Yeah honestly I'm mad I didn't think of it first. It was right the fuck there. A tank top, with an actual tank on it, and it has the word arms, and it shows off your arms. It's up on there now, for those so inclined 🫡 wideawakes.army

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to source an oilcloth cape in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand And Twenty Five

holy shit does he really look like that

I may need to turn off Email notifications for sales

ARE YOU WIDE AWAKE?! Good God imagine if we could get this happening again.

LORD HELP ME WE BACK ON OUR BULLSHIT

a genuine triumph of logistics and wealth, like the ice cream ship we used for the troops in Italy in WW2

Not every Republican wants to kill you, but none of them will ever do anything about the ones who do.

ok it totally was straightforward, my apologies

this does seem like it’s shaping up to be one of the great comedy moments of the decade

this is the least enthusiastic parade drill in human history and I'm including, like, 1857 in India here.

this is plausibly going to be an inflection point for this reason

What was his fucking problem

bit embarassing to see the clips of the military parade when you've seen a Chinese one. say what you like about the petty rancid fascists of the CCP but at least they know how to put on a show.

this man is realizing what the reaction is going to be when he dies

Tfw your middle school's JROTC would have wiped the floor with this parade

Our top story tonight (OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT!) Irony is still dead (IRONY IS STILL DEAD!) Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow (GOOD NIGHT, AND HAVE A PLEASANT TOMORROW!)

I haven't been this happy to see a bunch of miserable conservatives since the Korean election returns, which admittedly was like 2 weeks ago

Dude's wanted a military parade for himself for years and he finally makes it happen and turnout is worse than at a medium sized city's farmers market on a rainy day while like 2% of the entire country went out to protest his bullshit

I'll give Trump this much. He managed to make this parade feel as boring and pointless as actually being in the military. Maybe this is how we bridge the civil-military divide.

Seeing Bradley’s used like this really does piss me off to no end

the fact that they’re just playing instrumental versions of radio rock, rather than military bands or marching bands or whatever makes this whole thing so fucking farcical, like, van halen’s jump *is not meant to be instrumental*, ahahahahahahaha

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Okay taking it back. This parade is hilarious. No attendance, the little squeaks because it's so quiet, Trump looking like someone shit in his cereal. Brilliant. A+. No notes.

it's giving

being able to hear the wheels on the Sherman tanks squeal on account of no one there is some incredible footage. A+ comedy.

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

I shared this with a colleague and I am now so deeply saddened that I didn’t think to ask for this in a sleeveless. ARMS & influence… the tank top.

WHY ARE THEY PLAYING BARRACUDA

It's kinda crazy to remember that the mass protests today got their start (and name) from a tweet about congestion pricing

i have friends everywhere :)

Uhhhhhhh the fucking food at this military parade????

Man. You can really tell this parade was planned in 3 months, huh?
