    American taxpayers funding a parade for a felon rapist traitor who’s destroying our economy and nuking the middle class.

    Other unnamed officials told the paper that a big military parade will require a huge amount of coordination between the six branches of the armed forces, along with several federal agencies and regional officials.

    If it happens it’ll be a shit show…

    To quote Henry Zebrowski:

    I have a bad idea, and I’m gonna execute it poorly

      Anyone who hasn’t watched Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator really should. In the movie they mock how Mussolini was simping for Hitler and wanted to impress him by trying to one-up him at every occasion.

      This is totally what Trump is trying to do with Putin right now. Trump is a Putin simp desperate to get his attention.

          I know you’re being facetious and asking this from their side, but from our non-Nazi side I highly recommend “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by Shirer which is a great telling of how Hitler rise to power and a study of him and his crew. I’m sure Trump types read these histories to learn and try to pick up where Hitler failed.

            My reading of history is that Hitler failed because he was Hitler.

            He was a powerful orator, and also a narcissistic man baby, high on his own self importance long before he was high on meth/cocaine/heroin/etc.

            He was too paranoid to trust anyone more competent than he was, and he was fucking incompetent.

            I could go on, but in short, Hitler was a conman who tapped into that special hatred that some people have in place of their hearts.

                Pretty much the exact same except that Hitler was a hardened war veteran, and Trump has been a conman all his life. Most of Trump’s cons were stupid and failed, but never quite hard enough for him to ever see consequences.

                Hitler also went to prison for his coup attempt. It was a daycare style prison, but he still went.

                Other than that, the similarities are striking. Likely because the only book that Trump in known to have read, is a copy of all of Hitler’s speeches.

          Yeah there’s a bunch of history books. My mom had a collection of history books on the second world war with accounts of what happened and the atrocities committed.

          You just have to take notes in a notebook and call it Project 2025.

          Yes.

          Literally Hitler.

          ‘My New Order’, a collection of Hitler’s speeches up through 1939.

          Trump kept it in his bedside table in the 80s and 90s, according to his then wife.

          Did people not know about this or forget this?

          Trump literally routinely read Hitler’s speeches before he went to bed for years, then got very defensive when asked about it.

          Lefties who were politically active during Trump’s 2015 campaign were… fairly concerned about this, and basically everyone to the right of them just screamed ‘You’re just calling him a fascist because everything you don’t like is fascist’ at us.

          Did this whole thing seriously get memory holed this hard that you genuinely didn’t know this?

          Or are you just younger and/or weren’t so politically involved a decade ago?

    They’re going to try to scramble it together last minute so newspapers can’t blast out the several hundred million dollar price tag before it goes down.

      There is a standing army. Where do the costs come from? Like flyovers, it will be an exercise.

        Last time they refused to release the cost breakdown, but quoted 93 million (but that one sounded smaller).

        So other than expenses faced by any parade, I don’t know details. Transporting the vehicles, road prep and repair (city cost seemed like a big part of it), they might all get paid for anything not routine.

        Either way, captain bonespurs can run a parade up his own ass
