(6,976 posts)BUT, the 20-30 I DO know--active duty, retired et all think that this parade is a ridiculous waste of money being thrown BY a big, giant Piece of shit, illegitimate putin-president.

(6,976 posts)A big old pain in the ass. A brother whose a retired Lt. Colonel told me that his buddies are seething, thinking about that bastard repainting AF1. All of the top-secret black boxes and intelligence equipment they have to take apart then put back together again--that's if they can put it all back together properly and not lose any sensitive information. Wasted money, wasted time. God, I can't wait to see Neville tRump go down in flames. I was talking to the same brother, and he said that tRump should be in jail because he's a treasonous bastard. Shouldn't be allowed to just 'walk away.' I agree with him 1,000%, but something tells me that Neville will leave and what he did WON'T be investigated unfortunately. Fat hog should be under the jail. A friend said hung. He IS guilty of treason.

(36,876 posts)Trump does not want to salute the military.
He wants the world to see the military salute him.
Will it be awkward when he refuses POWs a place in his parade?
After all, Donald does not like soldiers who were captured.

(51,623 posts)Wouldn't be wonderful if there really is a Tsunami of a blue wave and his parade was as celebratory as his inauguration?
