And to think we provide his meals, unhealthy though they may be, his housing, his personal transportation,( delapidated AF1, limo, or Tesla truck). Do we get a child deduction on our taxes?
We also pay for his over-the-top medical care! Do you remember, after he got Covid, and appeared on the White House steps with seven doctors behind him? The very best. Makes me angry just thinking about it. While he's defunding Medicaid.
Brilliant question about the child deduction. i vote yes!
I would think that McDonalds would have made a deal to keep him supplied with whatever he needs in exchange for the humongous amount of free publicity and free advertising he gives them....
Spread the word. Make sure all people living in the Dis-U.S. know that OUR tax money paid and will continue to pay for tRUMP's disgusting self-promotion. As the daughter of a career USN submariner, a feel very sorry for the troops who were forced to participate. Unless, of course, they were screened/selected based on body weight and political affiliation.
I agree! This day was supposed to be about them! I feel bad for them too. My dad was Army WW II. He didn’t fight for this, he knew right from wrong. But the generals in charge now, well, it’s their failure too, failed their troops and the country.
Well, the first thing he did when he got in the second time was clean out anyone who wasn't a straight, white man from the command, to "fight DEI". The people in charge right now aren't there because of merit, they're there because a black woman general and several others were fired. When you're chosen for your paleness and your genitals, expecting competence is a laugh.
Well said. I am amazed that troops did not refuse to participate. But that would have been insubordination to bad orders, and they would have faced severe consequences. No-win for them, damned if they participated damned if they did not.
Thats why everybody need to refuse to pay taxes next year for 2025. We haven’t gotten one damn thing and our money has been wasted on this masturbatory spectacle.
Those troops weren't marching. The were walking, not even in step, slouching along. I'm pretty sure they can do much better. Their way of supporting No Kings? By the way, the choice of Fortunate Son played all day long was a pretty good joke on dear leader.
I attended the no-kings rally in Iowa City. I also watched the military parade on YouTube. The energy levels were totally different. The parade looked boring and staged. The rally was energetic and exciting. The speeches were eagerly received and loudly cheered. The signs were humorous and creative. We need a clearing house for the all the signs. Is there was some place to judge the best ones?
That's why he decided on it. Shame to the Supreme Court allowing it to happen. (Remember, we pay the Supreme Court too. Over and above their grift.) Oh, and BTW, were North Korea and Russia invited to see how our forces compare to theirs? We looked bad, stupid, and foolish. (Actually I didn't watch and according to some of the reviews, I'm glad I didn't!)
The problem is Trump views EVERYTHING and everyone as his toys to play with. To him the soldiers who were used as props in his glory parade are like toy soldiers a child would haul out of his toy box to play "war". He is, after all (and unfortunately) their Commander in Chief although Coward in Chief is a much more appropriate title.
I sincerely hope the troops who were forced to march in this sham "patriotic" parade realize the paltry turnout was NOT a rebuke to them but rather to Trump. It is up to each and every TRUE patriotic citizen to ensure that our veterans and active duty service members KNOW they are appreciated and WILL receive the benefits and honor they deserve as Cadet "Bone-Spurs" drives off into the sunset on his golf cart each week.
I held my nose and checked out what the Fox News website had to say about the parade. Did have to laugh that even they could not bring themselves to say millions attended.
-- White House slams 'utter failure' of anti-Trump protests as America celebrates Army's historic milestone
-- Bret Baier: The price tag for the US Army's 250th birthday parade is 'going to be worth it'
-- Trump celebrates US' long history giving foreign enemies 'hell' at massive military parade: Thousands of Americans flocked to downtown D.C. in "Make America Great Again" hats and patriotic gear displaying Old Glory despite the balmy weather and thunderstorms brewing.
-- Army parade crowd sings 'Happy Birthday' to President Trump: The crowd at the Army's 250th anniversary parade sings 'Happy Birthday' to President Donald Trump as first lady Melania Trump joins him at the podium
Gotta give it to Melania. She did a good job hiding her barf bag. And now I need a shower.
If you don't have the morals and values of raw sewage, you do not belong in the cult. Look at all the incel Senators and Representatives that are in his cult. They turn my stomach just seeing them, much less hearing them spew their disgusting trash.
Also, Melania is laughing all the way bank… netting approximately $28 million from Amazon’s $40 million “documentary” about her. I’m sure Jeff Bezos will throw a big gala premier.
Olivia Every day Malaria wakes up, she discovers that she is richer than the day before. She wants to keep her Fat Orange lump of blubber alive as long as possible. Unless he is in jail, of course.
My dad is a retired US Air Force lieutenant colonel. He served in World War II, Korean andVietnam. He would’ve been so appalled at this display of mechanized terrorism. This should have and most likely did upset anybody who is part of a military family?
It stands to reason, Taco Don was a lousy student, a lousy parent, a lousy husband, a lousy gameshow host, a lousy businessman, a lousy beauty pageant host, a lousy president, a lousy john (according to Stormy Daniels) and a lousy insurrection instigator. Please add anything I left out.
That posted before I was finished. Everything Trump touches dies, and the Army didn’t choose to be in one of his idiotic rallies. He is a curse for anything associated with him.
Reports are that Hegseth had the soldiers present there carefully selected to match Trump's ideology. Their behavior was absolutely against military training and codes of conduct. Hegseth has removed any senior leaders who would have fought against his orders. What is truly worrisome is the public display of the breakdown in military discipline.
They are running the Pentagon like a reality show, "made for TV" and "likes". Every bad actor is following this closely as we become less secure due to the loss of leadership. Also, Tulsi and her nuclear focus is not only a gift to Putin.
How many people were at Trump’s birthday-party-parade, and how many people were protesting across our wonderful country? I wonder how Fat-So Orange Blubber has rearranged the numbers in his squishy, morally devoid, demented brain. Oh, I forgot……he doesn’t have a brain!
You are correct to recognize it as a fantasy. Incompetence and "unfortunate results" under The Wicked Man's administration are never a cause for discipline, they are a basis for approval and even promotion. That is what it to means to have a government that is a kakistocracy.
Exactly. What a shame (and shameless). If at all, it should have been held on Memorial Day, with duct tape on the Taco. Not his parade, not his birthday. He has no honor to honor.
I do too. We're trained for battle. The best part was the Army festival with live music, fitness contests, rock climbing, face painting, and more. That is a celebration.
Oh, me too, LR. That made me very sad. Those young servicemen and servicewomen deserve way better than Trump as a commander of Chief. I have a grandson in the military and thank God he didn’t participate.
I know what you mean. Lightning...a direct hit...free cremation. No need for a Big Beautiful funeral. (My second hope was a well-targeted tornado so tRump would be sucked up bigtime. And never seen, heard or read again.)
Imagine if he had donated that $45 million to non-profits so they could better serve their clients. That would have been a legacy worth leaving. What a pathetic failure Trump is.
Or better yet, to the food pantries serving our military bases, where many of the soldiers marching in that farce don’t earn enough to feed their families.
It is NOT his money. It is OUR money. he has no right to donate it. He stole it from starving, sick children. If there is a hell hope he burns and rots there eternally.
I feel sad for the armed forces. They said nothing about the parade and then did a very low key parade.
There were no overhead jets because they were canceled due to the rain.
When the soldiers passed trump, he saluted them and
THEY DID NOT SALUTE BACK. They did not wear fancy uniforms and they
often were not marching in tandem. THEY DID THIS ON PURPOSE. THEY WERE PROTESTING IN THEIR OWN WAY!! They didn't say it, they just did it. So, thank you for the parade and all our veterans who stood up for democracy!
I think so too. I'm getting a tee shirt for our 250th. I want to celebrate our eag tag army, our independence and the never ending experiment of democracy.
There really aren’t many good reasons for a parade. Winning a championship, successfully hitting a milestone like going to the moon, and I’ll give you the traditional Thanksgiving Day parade as a freebie. Birthdays really don’t count;not the president’s nor the Army. What the Army needs is support for its veterans and leadership that won’t push them into useless aggression and war. They are not toy soldiers who can be lined up against the other toys at the whim of a toddler. They deserve respect and gratitude for their service, not baffling demands for unwavering loyalty
Amazing if one thinks about it, Trump is cutting our Veteran's benefits and services for the Vets, fires their top competent leadership, puts an incompetent alcoholic Fox guy in charge, yet he wants a parade of Army troops.
Even if you have, there's nothing wrong with judging, applying the same standard to yourself of course. It's prejudging that's the real problem. Trump has offered more than enough evidence to judge him by, and I do have trouble getting past Newsom's choice of spouse.
There's also the French Laundry during the pandemic episode. Not just breaking the restrictions. ("We ate outdoors!") But the fact that the minimum price per person there is $390. Per person. Just to start. Not exactly a "man of the people."
She was also the prosecutor on the SF dog story trial where my daughter’s friend had her windpipe ripped out by a pressa casareo. Back when she looked and acted human.
I don’t blame Gavin for that. They were married in 2001, separated in 2004 and divorced in 2006. 19 years ago. Who knows what went wrong? People change and become incompatible. Or they were mismatched from the start. Half of all marriages end in divorce. Second marriages are generally happier and more successful. Apparently Gavin’s is.
I'm "liking" your first sentence. Newsom has shown the fight that the rest of the Democrats seems to lack. As for your second sentence, I had forgotten that, and had forgotten her. They were only married for 5 years and they have been divorced for 19 years. It's time to let it go!
The legendary Editor of Vanity Fair Magazine did a write-up on meeting Donald Trump a few years ago. His comment was "A short-fingered vulgarian" -- and apparently no one has ever come up since with a more fitting appellation.
Did you see the pic of him with Melania, and she was looking straight ahead as he walked beside her holding her thumb. It’s all she can do to keep from retching when he is near.
Why anyone even bothers to discuss the First Escort bleeping behooves me. She is an empty, stupid silo. And, actually, an illegal immigrant. Empress Theodora (6th century) was a prostitute. She rose to the occasion. Check out those mosaics in Ravenna … and then let’s discuss whatshername with interestingly placed buttons where her nipples might be.
Missed the parade completely while protesting "No Kings" day in Kennewick, WA, with 5000 other locals who do NOT want to become part of "greater Idaho". Seeing some of the TV footage afterwards, I felt really bad for our troops, most of whom probably were looking forward to celebrating 250 years of the Army and would have been cheered by throngs of patriots had the cheese taco not co-opted what should have been a genuine show of pride.
My cousin in Idaho joyfully attend the No Kings event, and also the Hands Off rally a few months back — his first event. He is an avowed introvert. It’s bad when the introverts are rallied up.
When Rump was elected in 2016, my cousin told me that his co-workers were giving the Heil Hitler salute. He was disgusted. But Idaho has that reputation of white supremacists.
Yes, this is a foretaste of what America is going to look like when he and the MAGAts get done with their work. A pathetic, weak little squeaking country.
Failure on parade. That is certainly one thing taco is good at demonstrating failure. What a total waste of time and money. That’s his business model.
Problem is that's OUR money this time, not his!
It's always our money. He siphons cash from us every time he stays at one of his resorts.
More like: every time he takes a breath.
--wheeze-laden though it may be!
And to think we provide his meals, unhealthy though they may be, his housing, his personal transportation,( delapidated AF1, limo, or Tesla truck). Do we get a child deduction on our taxes?
We also pay for his over-the-top medical care! Do you remember, after he got Covid, and appeared on the White House steps with seven doctors behind him? The very best. Makes me angry just thinking about it. While he's defunding Medicaid.
Brilliant question about the child deduction. i vote yes!
I think the president has to pay for his own food in the White House. Even so . . .
I'm sure the cheap POS has found a way to scam the taxpayers out of food as well.
I would think that McDonalds would have made a deal to keep him supplied with whatever he needs in exchange for the humongous amount of free publicity and free advertising he gives them....
Such a deal!
We also pay for most of that for his spawn as well....
No, only a child's cost!
Yeah, but it’s all out in the open, see? That makes the lawlessness okay. Right, Mike Johnson?
Spread the word. Make sure all people living in the Dis-U.S. know that OUR tax money paid and will continue to pay for tRUMP's disgusting self-promotion. As the daughter of a career USN submariner, a feel very sorry for the troops who were forced to participate. Unless, of course, they were screened/selected based on body weight and political affiliation.

I am a white (not straight) male and I say spot on Kitty.
Well said. I am amazed that troops did not refuse to participate. But that would have been insubordination to bad orders, and they would have faced severe consequences. No-win for them, damned if they participated damned if they did not.
though some observers suggest the "sloppiness" of some troops (poor marching style) was an intentional protest against the event....
They do not have the option to refuse; you can count on it.
Push them far enough, and revolt?
Whatever he does to ruin and punish people who don't do his will is devastatingly effective.
Of course not, totally unrealistic John.
It was never about them. It was total coincidence that it fell on the Army's anniversary. What a great excuse for Rump!
He could have been born on the Navy's birthday. We could have watched periscopes cruising by.
Hey Al, I can see a periscope cruising down
Constitution Ave and the captain down below
screaming, " I said make a LEFT, Godammit, make
a LEFT!!"
He needs one of those up his where-the-sun-don’t-shine.
Good one!
I don’t think we can blame the generals-isn’t Orange the commander in-chief?
In Trump 1.0 the Generals pushed back, sometimes successfully, Gen. Milley, Mattis. But Flynn went down the rabbit hole.
Thats why everybody need to refuse to pay taxes next year for 2025. We haven’t gotten one damn thing and our money has been wasted on this masturbatory spectacle.
Your first statement: Like x 161 million (number of returns processed by IRS in FY2024.) Your second statement: masterful use of "masturbatory."
Great idea!
Not. It’s totally unrealistic. Ask any of us who were of tax-paying age during Vietnam. It was tried. No go.
Yes. Excellent idea. See y’all in El Salvador.
Maybe I would look good in a shaved head and all-whites!
Sorry John, not funny.
Laughing out loud!
--without even an exhilarating finish!
masturbatory...good one
<golf clap>

I thought I was the only one who thought they
weren't "marching". They'd have KP for a month
marching like that on base. Haven't heard "Fortunate Son"
I'll have to ask Siri.
If they were decent human beings, they were not permitted to attend too.
Troops at Fort Bragg who were in his audience were indeed screened for their political views.
Really? OMG!
not only their political views, but also appearance. See report at Military.com, an independent news site started by a veteran in 1999. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/06/11/bragg-soldiers-who-cheered-trumps-political-attacks-while-uniform-were-checked-allegiance-appearance.html
I heard that no "fat" person was allowed within camera range....This in spite of the fact that tRump is a little pudgy all over....
🤢🤮, really screened?
how about on their looks! -
It seems as if it's ALWAYS our money- The WINO (Warrior In Name Only) never spends his own dime on Anything.
But he did have two nickels to rub together for Stormy Daniels. She even threw in a bonus, singing Elton John's
"Tiny Dancer"🎶.
--while the sun goes down on Trump (an Elton John song lyric)?
Ha ha ha!
It’s never his money, no matter what!
That's why he decided on it. Shame to the Supreme Court allowing it to happen. (Remember, we pay the Supreme Court too. Over and above their grift.) Oh, and BTW, were North Korea and Russia invited to see how our forces compare to theirs? We looked bad, stupid, and foolish. (Actually I didn't watch and according to some of the reviews, I'm glad I didn't!)
It’s never his
Well and that of some sponsors (which is even worse)
Trump's business model always involves someone else's money.
Barbara Kansky - It's always somebody else's money that he wastes. It's never his money. That's why all of his businesses have gone bankrupt.
Trump has no money. What slides through his hands is gone in two days. If he sold all his trash golf courses the amount would go to his victims.
Maybe the Army should have given him a few balloons and toy soldiers and tanks to play with.
The problem is Trump views EVERYTHING and everyone as his toys to play with. To him the soldiers who were used as props in his glory parade are like toy soldiers a child would haul out of his toy box to play "war". He is, after all (and unfortunately) their Commander in Chief although Coward in Chief is a much more appropriate title.
I sincerely hope the troops who were forced to march in this sham "patriotic" parade realize the paltry turnout was NOT a rebuke to them but rather to Trump. It is up to each and every TRUE patriotic citizen to ensure that our veterans and active duty service members KNOW they are appreciated and WILL receive the benefits and honor they deserve as Cadet "Bone-Spurs" drives off into the sunset on his golf cart each week.
At the rate this administration is going, I'm not so sure they'll get all the benefits they deserve, unfortunately. :(
A great protest sign in DC yesterday:
Benefits Not Bullshit
Held by a female vet in uniform
Yes, Sassy Sue, you are so right.
Loving your 2nd paragraph here, Sue. I write as a 3-generation Navy family member and sister of an Army vet, Vietnam in-country.
at least a coloring book and crayons
And action-figure toy just out. GI Don!
Robert E. Make certain that the action figure G.I. (Stands for gross incompetence) Donnie, has bone spurs poking out of his boots.
--and a burger speared on a bayonet!
With his girth, a beartrap might be a helpful Super-Size Me.
<snort laugh>
Do they have XXXL military uniforms?
-which Stephen Miller can eat like when he was a kid...
Don't know if that would fly. Judging from the No Kings parades, balloons are not his friends.
Or his parents
I held my nose and checked out what the Fox News website had to say about the parade. Did have to laugh that even they could not bring themselves to say millions attended.

Gotta give it to Melania. She did a good job hiding her barf bag. And now I need a shower.
Those of us with weaker stomachs owe you big-time for your research and summary. You will need a lot of soap and brain bleach to recover.
I'm sad for Melania. She woke up to find tRump was still alive.
Nope. Melania knew who she was marrying and she is using her name to grift the cult too.
If you don't have the morals and values of raw sewage, you do not belong in the cult. Look at all the incel Senators and Representatives that are in his cult. They turn my stomach just seeing them, much less hearing them spew their disgusting trash.
Esp. Senator Bill Cassidy, who helped put the sewage of R F Kennedy jr
Into Trump’s sewer. May his family all get the measles.
One of my fave signs at the rally in San Diego: "Trump's wives were immigrants...Proving again they'll do jobs Americans won't"
Excellent!
Also, Melania is laughing all the way bank… netting approximately $28 million from Amazon’s $40 million “documentary” about her. I’m sure Jeff Bezos will throw a big gala premier.
She made a LOT more than that from her own brand of Crypto! $$ from Bezos is pocket change for her....
Yeah. Isn't it Amazon paying for the documentary about her? She is the most contemptible 1st lady the US has ever had.
If she wasn't in it for the money, she would have left YEARS ago.
She has made off with more than Stormy Daniels did. Same profession. Same John.
She would not have been ten feet near him in the first place!
💯
Olivia Every day Malaria wakes up, she discovers that she is richer than the day before. She wants to keep her Fat Orange lump of blubber alive as long as possible. Unless he is in jail, of course.
Maybe she would want him in jail! Maybe she would like the freedom to have
access to millions without her troublesome husband to protest. Without
the troublesome holiday decorations at the White House.
I think she must have been paid some really big bucks to be by his side so much in past couple of weeks....
You have Courage my friend! I believe my TV would burst into flames if I ever put on faux "news".
--if only Fox News would burst into flames!
everything about tRump's parade was muted . . . as if viewed underwater and in sepia
Utter failure comment from White House means No King protests were an utter success!
"Utter failure of anti-Trump protests...". 🤣😂😆
More like Massive, massive widespread success.
You’re a stronger person than me.
LHS -thanks for sharing that. It kept me from vomiting on my key board.
I wonder if that headline writer knew that "balmy weather" means "pleasantly warm". 🤨
My dad is a retired US Air Force lieutenant colonel. He served in World War II, Korean andVietnam. He would’ve been so appalled at this display of mechanized terrorism. This should have and most likely did upset anybody who is part of a military family?
Well, here’s one, at least. Thank you for caring. ⚓️🚢⚓️🛫🛬
Every time I think about this administration “How can people put up with this?”, this will remind me “They can’t. And they won’t.”
Absoeffingtivelyultely!!!
It stands to reason, Taco Don was a lousy student, a lousy parent, a lousy husband, a lousy gameshow host, a lousy businessman, a lousy beauty pageant host, a lousy president, a lousy john (according to Stormy Daniels) and a lousy insurrection instigator. Please add anything I left out.
A lousy citizen.
The Dump trademark
He might bankrupt the Army like he did his casino.
I KNOW, RIGHT? https://jaywilson1.substack.com/p/america250?r=10sd39
I feel bad for the Army
That posted before I was finished. Everything Trump touches dies, and the Army didn’t choose to be in one of his idiotic rallies. He is a curse for anything associated with him.
What about Fort Bragg?
Reports are that Hegseth had the soldiers present there carefully selected to match Trump's ideology. Their behavior was absolutely against military training and codes of conduct. Hegseth has removed any senior leaders who would have fought against his orders. What is truly worrisome is the public display of the breakdown in military discipline.
Given what is happening to our military - UH, a Fox news announcer in command?- I am hoping Putin does not take this shining opportunity to go to war.
They are running the Pentagon like a reality show, "made for TV" and "likes". Every bad actor is following this closely as we become less secure due to the loss of leadership. Also, Tulsi and her nuclear focus is not only a gift to Putin.
Maybe next time the soldiers won't be booing democrats
How many people were at Trump’s birthday-party-parade, and how many people were protesting across our wonderful country? I wonder how Fat-So Orange Blubber has rearranged the numbers in his squishy, morally devoid, demented brain. Oh, I forgot……he doesn’t have a brain!
What you wrote the first time was perfect!
It's Hegseth's Army. Maybe he will get fired for that unfortunate result. Hey, it's my fantasy. I can make it be anything I want.
You are correct to recognize it as a fantasy. Incompetence and "unfortunate results" under The Wicked Man's administration are never a cause for discipline, they are a basis for approval and even promotion. That is what it to means to have a government that is a kakistocracy.
Idk this was a bad look for trump; low energy; low turnout. Just low.
--but he's always been low in every sense!
Okay, Robert. I'll go with promotion. Boot JD Vance and replace him with Hegseth. VPs don't do anything anyway. And the fantasy continues.
OMG -- can you even begin to think of the possibility of Hegseth as president?
Am I shuddering or is this a fever?
Yes! I can't thing of anyone more impeachable than that incompetent asshole. Except Shephen Miller but impeaching him would be harder.
Exactly. What a shame (and shameless). If at all, it should have been held on Memorial Day, with duct tape on the Taco. Not his parade, not his birthday. He has no honor to honor.
I do too. We're trained for battle. The best part was the Army festival with live music, fitness contests, rock climbing, face painting, and more. That is a celebration.
Oh, me too, LR. That made me very sad. Those young servicemen and servicewomen deserve way better than Trump as a commander of Chief. I have a grandson in the military and thank God he didn’t participate.
Yeah. It wasn’t just troompf whose birthday was ruined.
I didn’t get the lightning strike I wanted, but everything else met expectations.
I know what you mean. Lightning...a direct hit...free cremation. No need for a Big Beautiful funeral. (My second hope was a well-targeted tornado so tRump would be sucked up bigtime. And never seen, heard or read again.)
A. Lightning strikes and his industrial strength Depends explode. Any survivors are carried away in hazmat suits to be decontaminated.
B. Any tornado is going to veer away, thinking, no way I can lift that
--and he could fall on a wicked witch in OZ!
It would take one hell of a tornado to lift
that fat turd.
Yes, we were hoping for at LEAST one super-cell T-Storm!
Doesn't it feel like we need a serious revolution?
I was hoping for a sudden downpour so we could see what his skin looks like under all that orange paint.
ROFL!!
Imagine if he had donated that $45 million to non-profits so they could better serve their clients. That would have been a legacy worth leaving. What a pathetic failure Trump is.
Or better yet, to the food pantries serving our military bases, where many of the soldiers marching in that farce don’t earn enough to feed their families.
Thank you for caring. Enlisted service members’ salaries are far better than they were back in our day. And they are still seriously
shamefully unrealistically low.
Ask any food Bank manager.
It is NOT his money. It is OUR money. he has no right to donate it. He stole it from starving, sick children. If there is a hell hope he burns and rots there eternally.
Or to public broadcasting.
That will never fly. They broadcast too many facts.
Or to the VA, and rehire those fired.
And rehire folks at USAID. Children are dying.
The world hates us even more.
He had the parade he deserved…pathetic!
The schadenfreude is strong in this one
I feel sad for the armed forces. They said nothing about the parade and then did a very low key parade.
There were no overhead jets because they were canceled due to the rain.
When the soldiers passed trump, he saluted them and
THEY DID NOT SALUTE BACK. They did not wear fancy uniforms and they
often were not marching in tandem. THEY DID THIS ON PURPOSE. THEY WERE PROTESTING IN THEIR OWN WAY!! They didn't say it, they just did it. So, thank you for the parade and all our veterans who stood up for democracy!
I felt sorry for them, too. The Army could have done a very nice 250th celebration on its own and I'll bet more people would have attended.
LOTS more!!
As I am a Vet yes, for a Trump parade or anything else Trump, NOPE!
I think so too. I'm getting a tee shirt for our 250th. I want to celebrate our eag tag army, our independence and the never ending experiment of democracy.
I noticed that a number of military groups didn’t salute dear leader. Some didn’t even turn their heads towards him passing the stands.
And did we really have soldiers dressed as redcoats? Bizarre.
But what a nice honour to our previous) king from our (wishful) king!👑
No Kings Then
No Kings Now
Was a popular sign at the real 250thvAnniversary (of the start of the American Revolution) in
Massachusetts when I was there this Spring.
Loved that the soldiers were not dolled up nor goose stepping like
North Korean robots. The casual gait seemed like a “middle finger salute”’to the spoiled birthday boy
I was embarrassed for them being put in that position.
Me too, but I think they handled it well
Soldiers marching in formation do not salute. The salute is only given by the leader of the formation.
They didn't do that either, tho.
The sad thing is the Army deserved its own parade, not a part of TACO-fest.
There really aren’t many good reasons for a parade. Winning a championship, successfully hitting a milestone like going to the moon, and I’ll give you the traditional Thanksgiving Day parade as a freebie. Birthdays really don’t count;not the president’s nor the Army. What the Army needs is support for its veterans and leadership that won’t push them into useless aggression and war. They are not toy soldiers who can be lined up against the other toys at the whim of a toddler. They deserve respect and gratitude for their service, not baffling demands for unwavering loyalty
Amazing if one thinks about it, Trump is cutting our Veteran's benefits and services for the Vets, fires their top competent leadership, puts an incompetent alcoholic Fox guy in charge, yet he wants a parade of Army troops.
No one ever accused the man of being rational
--or even being sane! or good!
And is a five-time Draft Dodger, to boot.
Oh, the Hypocrisy!
Disgusting!
Just ask Gen. Mark Milley, right?
What a Fun Sunday this one is turning out to be.
As Kimberly Guilfoyle said… THE BEST IS YET TO COME
Man. Newsom has been impressive these last couple of weeks. But I can't seem to forget he was married to this woman.
We all make mistakes.😉
But have you ever made a mistake of that magnitude? People who have generally aren't alive to recover from it.
Ohhh with the mistakes I’ve made, I do not judge!!😏
Even if you have, there's nothing wrong with judging, applying the same standard to yourself of course. It's prejudging that's the real problem. Trump has offered more than enough evidence to judge him by, and I do have trouble getting past Newsom's choice of spouse.
yeah - keeping quiet on that bit
I just worry about what dirt she might have on him….
If she had dirt it would have come out by now, I'm sure.
Maybe he has dirt on her? Hmmm.
Out, out, damned spot…
There's also the French Laundry during the pandemic episode. Not just breaking the restrictions. ("We ate outdoors!") But the fact that the minimum price per person there is $390. Per person. Just to start. Not exactly a "man of the people."
She was also the prosecutor on the SF dog story trial where my daughter’s friend had her windpipe ripped out by a pressa casareo. Back when she looked and acted human.
I remember that horrible event. I'm so sorry your daughter knew the victim.
She was co captain of the Lacrosse team at Penn State along with my daughter. I knew her well too. Diane Whipple was her name.
Yes, her name sounds familiar even after all this time.
Pit Bulls killed the victim in an hallway of a apartment house. The owners were convicted and sentenced to prison as they should have been.
Tragic!
I don’t blame Gavin for that. They were married in 2001, separated in 2004 and divorced in 2006. 19 years ago. Who knows what went wrong? People change and become incompatible. Or they were mismatched from the start. Half of all marriages end in divorce. Second marriages are generally happier and more successful. Apparently Gavin’s is.
I'm "liking" your first sentence. Newsom has shown the fight that the rest of the Democrats seems to lack. As for your second sentence, I had forgotten that, and had forgotten her. They were only married for 5 years and they have been divorced for 19 years. It's time to let it go!
I keep shaking my head about that, too.
I know...boggles the mind!
we had toooo many of Kimberly's good things already, Please NO More!
That red dress at the convention! 🫣
The Loud Oracle: Kimberly!
I feel so terribly sad for Minuscule Hands
The legendary Editor of Vanity Fair Magazine did a write-up on meeting Donald Trump a few years ago. His comment was "A short-fingered vulgarian" -- and apparently no one has ever come up since with a more fitting appellation.
His tiny little untanned hands!!
:-) !!
Did you see the pic of him with Melania, and she was looking straight ahead as he walked beside her holding her thumb. It’s all she can do to keep from retching when he is near.
Why anyone even bothers to discuss the First Escort bleeping behooves me. She is an empty, stupid silo. And, actually, an illegal immigrant. Empress Theodora (6th century) was a prostitute. She rose to the occasion. Check out those mosaics in Ravenna … and then let’s discuss whatshername with interestingly placed buttons where her nipples might be.
Are you saying “dumb as a box of Dump’s hair”? Great comment on the buttons! She’s a bloody fashion plate!! But I don’t care! Do you??😏
You nailed it!
There was a pic of Judge Jenine Botabox in the past 2 weeks with nipple buttons on her dress…
Small hands Donnie was holding Melania’s thumb because that was all that would fit in his tiny hands
The thumb was not in a comfortable angle. I think he was being brutal with Melania to make her behave
She looks vacant, cuz she is concentrating on counting her daily incoming money.
wonder if she is in the will. i know about the pre nup but i figure it a small part of his net worth
Short-fingered vulgarian, please. This goes way way back. Like, to the 1980s.
Don't waste the calories, flo.
He ain't worth it.
There are so many happy pictures of the abject failure of his pathetic parade. What a great weekend!
Missed the parade completely while protesting "No Kings" day in Kennewick, WA, with 5000 other locals who do NOT want to become part of "greater Idaho". Seeing some of the TV footage afterwards, I felt really bad for our troops, most of whom probably were looking forward to celebrating 250 years of the Army and would have been cheered by throngs of patriots had the cheese taco not co-opted what should have been a genuine show of pride.
I refused to watch and help his ratings.
There is no greater Idaho. I live there and should know.
You are right! Most potatoes are grown in Washington State. But Boise turned out big time. Apparently they don't like kings eithet.
My cousin in Idaho joyfully attend the No Kings event, and also the Hands Off rally a few months back — his first event. He is an avowed introvert. It’s bad when the introverts are rallied up.
When Rump was elected in 2016, my cousin told me that his co-workers were giving the Heil Hitler salute. He was disgusted. But Idaho has that reputation of white supremacists.
This was not The Triumph of the Will - or even The Triumph of the Shill.
Clever, Robert.
--or even Triumph of the Drumpf!
Yes, this is a foretaste of what America is going to look like when he and the MAGAts get done with their work. A pathetic, weak little squeaking country.
Soooo disappointing. Poor Donnie!
Actually 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
As usual, you kill it at the end!!!
