In reply to the discussion: California Sen. Alex Padilla handcuffed at Noem presser [View all]
Attilatheblond
(6,275 posts)98. Anybody else beginning to wonder if all that military equipment in DC is NOT there for a parade?
Deliberately or not, the lawless administration just declared war on the US Senate. Kristi Noem will go down as 'the twat heard round the world'.
Miller & the rest of the US SS sold the parade idea to Trump to sooth his ego. They knew he'd go for it as it makes him feel powerful. He ain't the one with power. He's the town idiot, useful, but still the town idiot. But I am beginning to think all that military hardware is not really about a parade.
