And I stand behind this statement fully! Fuck Trump and his need for some militaristic display to highlight his position and genuflect to his “greatness” . Any parade of this sort would be the antithesis of our country’s values.

...should not be granted a military parade to assist him in his bottomless need for being adored.

they spend their miserable days trying to keep him in a good mood, and telling lies, one of them being not to worry about Mueller, he is not really going after you, just the lil people, etc.

On the plus side, they now know how battered women feel day in ,day out...always fearful, always placating.

Stall, stall, stall. He's done a pretty good job of disregarding other stupid Trump directives.
