This notion of a military parade is frightening

One more way to look like Stalinist Russia.

Maybe we can do it on May Day. Wuddayathink?

Or maybe dress up some place in Topeka to look like Pyongyang



























And then guess who . . . . .









I threw up a little in my mouth

The attitudes of moderate and independent voters will change if they see some crazy shit like that happen in D.C.

Let him have his deplorable photo-ops. . A parade like this wouldn't win over any independents or democrats - I can guarantee you that much.

They will tie it into Veterens Day November 11th for 100 years WWI

don't forget the election is on the 8th. Anyone who disagrees with the parade will be painted as Un American

Anyone who protests the parade, or the election will be run over by tanks

...granted they were at the conclusion of World Wars...Or the mobilization as they were being sent off.

What's important is the context. Sure a number of European nations have military parades, but its in context of major events. Bastille Day in France, the Great Patriotic War in Russia, etc. I could easily see one here in the USA on Veterans Day, but includes not just current military enlisted but former as well.

Likewise, in Nazi Germany, it was to stoke nationalist and imperial ambitions...not to commemorate a historical event.

In the case of Dump, I'm betting he's looking at the latter than the former.

Maybe we should give Trump a chest of medals, then let him sleep in his military suit in bed sucking his thumb for the next 3 years.

When der fuehrer says we is de master race

So we heil heil right in der fuehrer's face

When Herr Goebbels says we own the world and space
We heil heil right in Herr Goebbels' face
When Herr Goring says they'll never bomb this place
We heil heil right in Herr Goring's face
Are we not he supermen Aryan pure supermen
Ja we are the supermen (super duper supermen)
Is this Nazi land so good
Would you leave it if you could
Ja this Nazi land is good
We would leave it if we could
We bring the world to order
Heil Hitler's world to order
Everyone of foreign race
Will love der fuehrer's face
When we bring to the world this order
