Mueller so far has had no effect on him. Being a sexual predator so far has had no effect on him. No tax returns thus far has had no effect on him. His charity was shut down as a corrupt organization and has had zero effect on him so far. Pointing out that he cannot talk or is a clueless buffoon are minor offenses compared to the stuff we already have. Trump wins in 2020 unless the democrats put someone up that can beat him. And that person will have to 'speak to the people' at least in part the way Trump does and address at least SOME of the issues that he is talking about Because 'murica....

Disgusting. I know, right? Bastards!! All of them that dared to have parades while in office.

Trumpster fought to avoid service while Kennedy fought to actually serve, while having a valid and provable medical condition. While actually serving, he was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal; Purple Heart Medal; American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal. and the WWII Victory Medal. He EARNED a parade, more so given it was for his inauguration. I'd support another parade in his honor after his level of service to this country. Trumpster is currently trying to subvert all the rules of law. He's a disgusting human. But at least he has Aircraft One. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aside from the fact that I am a President Trump supporter, this parade is to showcase pride in America and pride in the most powerful military in the world. Independence Day is and always has been the ideal motivation for a parade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, a more apples to oranges comparison is hard to imagine. Trump holds a parade to glorify HIMSELF in front of his invited cronies at TAXPAYERS' expense, while a skydiver does an exhibition jump to support another's event.

I understand your thoughts on this and in reviewing your point acknowledge that you meant those who had not served - in this instance. But, there has also been several who never served that had parades. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While there were a lot of non-military displays, this was the closest to a Soviet-style 'show of power' that I've ever seen in the US. I could be wrong on this, and welcome correction if so.

Did we give up when Saddam Hussein blew up the Pentagon? Did we just roll over when Charles Manson poisoned JFK? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now!

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #120 July 5, 2019 (edited) How many of you guys realize that the Star Spangled Banner does NOT tell the story of a Revolutionary War battle? It refers to the flag that was still flying over Ft McHenry on the morning of 14 Sept, 1814. War of 1812. George Washington died in 1799. Almost 15 YEARS before the event. No way he was going to capture Trenton airport or conduct an assault on ORD (O'Hare). As for Trump, I'm sure he took the 'Rockets Red Glare' to mean that they had rockets then. So they had a "SPACE FORCE!!!!" They must have had airports too, right? Edited July 5, 2019 by wolfriverjoe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #122 July 6, 2019 Right. I did a quick search and found pretty much the same thing. Military parades after military events. Not 'just to feed the President's ego', which this one clearly was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
