The ongoing negotiations over whether to use massive military hardware, such as Abrams tanks or Bradley Fighting Vehicles , as a prop for Trump’s “Salute to America” is just one of many unfinished details when it comes to the celebration planned for Thursday, according to several people briefed on the plan, who requested anonymity to speak frankly.

White House officials intend to give out tickets for attendees to sit in a VIP section and watch Trump’s speech, but did not develop a distribution system before much of the staff left for Asia last week, according to two administration officials. Officials are also still working on other key crowd management details, such as how to get attendees through magnetometers in an orderly fashion.

Traditionally, major gatherings on the Mall, including inauguration festivities and a jubilee commemorating the start of a new millennium, have featured a designated event producer. But in this case, the producer is the president himself.

I'm more worried about the normalization of mental illness.

I just clicked that MSN video, and I get treated to this:



I'll make a deal : Don't parade around Lola Whom one would never mistake no matter how much Bourbon laced Cherry Cola one drank on the News, and I won't parade around M1 Abrams Tanks

Some of us may like Trump, some may hate him, but I think all of us can agree that one thing this man is not short of is bombastic behavior

Lola looks like the triangular hair lady in Dilbert cartoons.

Forget the tanks. Ivanka doing nude handsprings will do the trick for me.
5   Shaman   2019 Jul 2, 8:51am  

If it makes him happy to have tanks, why not? He’s earned some consideration.
6   Al_Sharpton_for_President   2019 Jul 2, 9:10am  

If he instructed the tanks to fire on the capitol building, would anyone care!

Won't real main battle tanks tear up the roads?

Perhaps nobody in DC will notice the difference because the roads are already so bad there?

Not enough money after the graft to fix the roads? Are they trying to become California?

Pretty much. Lavish union salaries and pensions, but no money for roads.

My Money is on a Loser Circuit Court Judge claiming it unconstitutional. Because that's all the pathetic Liberals have, and they really are that mean and spiteful petty bitch fucks.

They do have special street treds used not to tear up roads.

I love how we waste taxpayer money on shit like this on a daily basis (sporting events, parades, etc.) and this is now a fucking news story. We fucking PAID the NFL up until recently to have troops there. Why it was cool under any president is ludicrous, but now it's a problem. One person wins an election 3 years ago and it's a fucking problem. Jesus. Stupidity has no bounds.

But military parades.... oh no sky is falling.

Maybe if the soldiers were carrying large colorful dildos instead of guns and the tanks were outfitted with ass-less chaps and painted rainbow stripes. That might be gay enough to attract the approval of Democrats.
16   MisdemeanorRebel   2019 Jul 3, 3:21pm  

July 4th, looking forward to 3rd Armored Cav Regiment vs. Antifa.

I think the Stryker can resist a few milkshakes.

Imagine who would lead that parade. Whoever loses a bet?

Amazing how widely Trump ‘s PR Parade will be boycotted


You mean it's shocking ABC, CBS, CNN, PMSNBC hate Trump and America?
19   steverbeaver   2019 Jul 4, 2:22am  

OP pic whi-hile lifted drives me to fap fap fap. Correcto frens. Gays? Month-long parade for confusion of biological purpose (in clown world). ?Pride in a (mostly white) country?- baa-aa-aaa-dddddd!. Not even a day for USA, the tit to which you latch?! Well, while I personally take issue with the MIC, seriously L-friendos: why does this trigger you after we've already pumped (dumped) trillions on our own USA niggers and indios?

Good, that's their right to do that. But I'm not sure what boycotting is going to do? He's still the president and will be for the remainder of his term outside of a health issue or the a word.

At some point maybe, just maybe the Democrats and left can stop pouting and just find a viable, intelligent candidate. If Trump is sooooooo awful this should be an easy task. Yet from my brief viewing of the first Dem debates, there's not one I would vote for. That could change as the field thins out, but those debates were awful. But nah, let's get worked up over a parade.

Eventually there's no foot left after it has been shot enough.

I’m looking forward to the speech and the great show!

I just googled Trump Parade to see what time it starts (6PM ET by the way). The MSM looks to be excited about this one, check out the headlines:

NYT: “George Washington Would Hate Trump’s July 4th Parade”

Vanity Fair: “Trump’s Dumb Military Parade May Damage the Lincoln Memorial, Collapse a Bridge”

HuffPost: “Donald Trump's Fourth Of July Bash Gets Savaged By Viral #Boycott”

CBS: “Julián Castro calls July 4th parade a "waste of money" meant to boost Trump's ego”

NEWSWEEK: “ 'IRRESPONSIBLE': COST OF DONALD TRUMP'S JULY 4 MILITARY PARADE BLASTED BY NATIONAL PARK ADVOCACY GROUP”

MSNBC: ‘Strong Man’ Trump’s July 4th Like Soviet May Day Parade

Esquire: “Trump's Fourth of July Military Parade Is Out-and-Out Authoritarian Performance Art”

Washington Times: “Trump's pro-military Fourth of July parade deemed a 'threat' to 'the resistance' “

WAPO: “Trump adds to his endless parade of corruption and conflicts of interest”

NYT: “Trump Hijacks the 4th of July”

ABC: “Activist group wants to fly 'Baby Trump' balloon over July 4th event”

Let’s let Geraldo speak some truth: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/geraldo-rivera-only-reason-dems-object-to-july-4th-parade-is-because-of-trump-hatred

Enjoy the show America! 😁

Fox will get 30 million viewers tonight and those other loser networks wont get squat.

YUUUUGE crowd at National Mall yesterday. So much for a boycott! That failed spectacularly!

fake news - did you see this crowd reported on accredited, non-biased news outlets such as MSNPC or CNNPC?

I saw the video of Trump messing up the lyrics to God Bless America

"Stand beside Me" (instead of her)

Then he lays out for quite a few lines

Then he comes back in for the ending part

LOL


What about the part where he gave a great speech and headlined a beautiful patriotic successful event? Did you miss that part due to late stage TDS?

Not one man in Trump's family has served any military duty in 150 years. Let that sink in.


Those tanks and other military assets should be defending the southern border instead of in a parade.

This comment was published widely.

On the other hand there is you.

Now you know.


Many lies get republished on twatter every day because people don't research claims anymore. If you want people to take you seriously in discussions, at least research a bit. No matter what side you're on. They have sinks and fountains on top of the toilets serving potable drinking water. Plus the non potable toilet water will make you far less likely ill than the 'drinking' water where they come from.

That's good advice. Got something to back up your statement?

I don't care if people don't like the parade and debate it's popularity. But the detention facility workers do a heck of a job and are much better friends to the migrants than pretty much anyone else out there. Anybody who isn't housing an immigrant (family) at their home should keep quiet on this instead of insulting and doxxing these hardworking Americans and spreading untruths.

Wasn't talking about jazz maybe should have made that clearer. But people like the woman spreading lies on Twitter which was posted here. There are currently all kinds of armchair self proclaimed migrant defenders - not on patnet at least I hope - taking their cell phones to detention centers and trespassing and harassing every officer, filming them and asking for their names. These people are criminals and deserve to go to jail or get harmed. And they are slowing down the proper care for those migrants in these centers with their bullshit.
40   mell   2019 Jul 5, 2:08pm  

What's the alternative to closing the camps? None. You either have to completely close the border and defend it with armed force or you have to have these centers until you can either find a home for the migrants maybe some relatives or you send them back on safe transportation.
