Andy, that's a great idea as long as the DC "parade grounds" don't emulate the one in Nuremberg in 1930s Germany.

Good News: It appears that Mayor Muriel is not prepared to rename Washington, DC the Dementia Capital of the US. so she'll support your idea😉

That said, this Looney Tunes video was produced to publicize the parade!

Why Trump authorized the military parade folks, tanks and fighter jets to leave Washington DC is the biggest mystery. DOGE must have been in charge of that decision.

John, I found that off-putting, too, and can't guess the intention of the Looney Tunes people.

Take heart, all ye who doubted that this is the real Andy Borowitz. Have faith and be rewarded. Stop as long as you wish to pay homage. Plenty of tissues and t.p. for all. And you'll shirley need them.

Some society matron (if I'm recalling the facts exactly, which may not be the case), accosted George Bernard Shaw at a do and, hoping to impress, blathered to Shaw, Did he know that sugar is the only word in the English language that is spelled "su" but pronounced "shu"? To which Shaw responded, "Sure."

Crusti Gnome smiled secretly, knowing she is offering people $50K bonuses and other perks to join her goon squad, probably causing tRump to have to import agents and officers from nearby states to protect him, oh, and the district.

Mayor Bowser should declare an emergency, too:

"I welcome the additional resources; they should start by going after the criminal organization currently occupying the White House: convicted felons, sexual predators, grifters, and a group focused on creating and spreading false information using Federal government resources.

Appreciate the humor, anything to lighten the moment. I thought Trump would wait until the mid-terms were approaching to send troops into blue cities. Apparently he figured why wait, and he invades DC and threatens Los Angeles, New York, Oakland, Baltimore, Chicago, etc.
