Army Confirms Parade on Trump's Bday

Sunday, May 04, 2025

The timing and White House involvement in planning efforts have stoked speculation that Trump is using the Army's birthday as an excuse to get the kind of grand military parade he wanted during his first term in office. That event was scrapped after estimates topped $90 million.

Plans for the parade, as first detailed by The Associated Press on Thursday, call for about 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles and 50 helicopters to follow a route from Arlington, Virginia, to the National Mall. buff.ly/hmMtatJ[image or embed]

oh my gawd...I have viewed and been involved with dozens of parades on a co's birthday.

AND one thing to always remember here and on national media

-- whenever there's a "big"story in the media....look for the story they're trying to distract you from".

enjoy your frothing at the mouth.

You should know how to by now to do a group chin clean up.

Tanks and other heavy military vehicles will damage Washington DC's streets. And we need more helicopters wasting aviation fuel conducting rehearsals and flying during the parade. This is a National Special Security Event (NSSE) that will be a nightmare to protect. But the hardworking American taxpayer will fund the bill for the massive overtime and fuel costs. I imagine guests of Nero and their huge entourages will stay at Trumpf hotels in the NCR. "Cha-Ching!"

The guy has seriously lost his mind. Releasing a photoshopped picture of him as the Pope? Having a military parade on his birthday? How crazy does he need to be until someone who cares for him intervenes?

- until someone who cares for him intervenes?

That could be a long wait.
