The parade - from one who was there

[The Duke]

next time play with your rainbow colored GI Joe collection instead

No can do, I only have Eagle Eye and Kung-Fu grip G.I. Joes.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Not even close.

And the big one.

your cult is just as violent....look at LA....

It was The Army's thing, and Trump wanted to make it a little bigger.
I enjoyed the historical uniforms, and there was plenty of music.

Yeah we know.

Cadet Bone Spurs favorite song.

I'm pretty neutral on the parade. I mean, Trump wanted to do it, so why not? It was geared much more with honoring the Army than anything. I can think of worse ways to spend the day. The way I look at it, much better we spent a few million on that than giving the money away to Zimbabwe every year to teach Africans how to put a condom on a cucumber, or whatever the hell we were throwing the money away on until DOGE came along.

Yeah I'm not fired up about it; certainly not the worst thing. Just not my favorite.

[Harry Dresden]

Not even close.

of course to a person who is part of that cult you cant see it...your people are just as violent fancy....

So, Trump is going to hold a parade for the Navy on October 13th?
Or a parade for the Marine Corps on November 10th?

They paid too.

Don't have an issue with that. My family has served in all branches of the military.

 

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

Sure you were at the right parade in the right state, there, Bill?

Yes

Interesting weekend, No Kings loons, LGBT fascists and a military parade

Decisions decisions

sit it out in the basement. Safest option

 

[Mac1958]

the turnout was abysmal

And of course, that's why you see all the (attempted) mockery of the No Kings turnout, which was excellent, and supported by those of us across the political spectrum.

I'm 70 now and I remember when parades used to be fun—bands, bunting, some big Army boom-booms for the kids to cheer over, every high school bandmaster doing their best Robert Preston cosplay. I remember when they were ceremonies of communal joy. You could mark your calendar by them. Homecoming parades. Veterans Day, which was Armistice Day when I was very young.

And then there was this leaden spectacle on Saturday, June 14.

I have never experienced such a joyless, lifeless, and sterile mass event in my entire life. Grim-faced soldiers, marching past half-empty grandstands, many of them obviously wanting to be somewhere else. No bands. Little bunting. Just piped-in rock music and MAGA hats. If this truly was meant to honor the 250 years of the United States Army, all we got was an endless procession of uniformed troops looking like they’d prefer to have been at Valley Forge. The president, sitting on the reviewing stand in that weird, forward-leaning attitude that he has, rarely smiling, a skunk at his own garden party. Scores of people being funneled through cattle-runs of metal grates just for a chance to sit on the lawn of the Washington Monument and listen to bad music and speeches so dull and listless that they’d have made Demosthenes get out of the business and open an olive oil stand.

I think there probably was more good feeling and genuine emotion when they took Jack Kennedy out to Arlington for the last time.

So let me see if I have this straight: You live in Seattle, as you've previously stated on numerous occasions:

Votes to count even if they are mailed in on napkins in Washington state

Are the Lions born to lose?

NW Weather Melodrama

Seattle is now officially a communist city!!

And yet you claim to have been in Washington DC for the parade?

Why would an admitted Trump-hater travel clear across the country to watch a parade hosted by someone he hates?

Are you lying?

 

[Mac1958]

Yeah we know.

Cadet Bone Spurs favorite song.

They played that at THE PARADE???

So apparently you were lying, right? You copied and pasted that entire rant, you fraud.

I Went to Trump’s Military Parade. Everything About It Was Wrong.

 

[rightwinger]

Leftists don't realize it but their "protests" are just the other side of the parade. Mostly stupid, all for show, signifying nothing. At the end everyone goes home and most say (if even secretly) "hey, what was all that about anyway?"

Parade viewers left in droves long before Trump stood up to speak.
Is that all there is?

Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of No Kings protestors showed up on short notice nation wide.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Don't have an issue with that. My family has served in all branches of the military.

Trump does.
Y'know why?
Their anniversary's don't fall on Trump's birthday.

That is what trying to intimidate participants in our system of justice with threats of violence looks like. It's the kind of behavior engaged in by thugs, and their devoted followers, when they fear they'll be punished for violations of law.

It's what the Left does, like the right goes to church. It does nothing to move the needle politically. We KNOW you hate Trump and we KNOW you love to have mass temper tantrums about it.

 

[Mac1958]

like the right goes to church

You're a MAGA Christian™. That means nothing. Zero.

Serious Christians are heartbroken.

If you don't like that opinion, tough shit.
