Army Preparing for Largest Military Parade on Trump's Birthday

Sunday, June 08, 2025

Millions of pounds of military hardware are expected to roll down the US capital's streets in less than two weeks, fulfilling a dream of President Donald Trump but also sparking concerns about how the roads of Washington, DC, will fare under the literal weight of heavy tanks and fighting vehicles.

Trump insisted to administration officials that a military parade in D.C. take place on his birthday, according to two sources. Several advisors and aides have privately referred to the event as "Donald Trump's birthday parade." Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol ...

How many Americans were fired illegally so that Trumpy could have a parade?

Hey DOGE bros!

I know where you can instantly save America 1 billion dollars.

The number of people who have revealed themselves as compliant in feeding this nutter's unquenchable thirst for validation is, frankly, stunning.

Is the noxious orange rapist going to use tear gas on the protesters again?

File this great parade under "great moments of self-inflicted humiliation". I suspect people will be laughing about for decades to come. To say nothing of the disdain he will bring on himself from the rest of the free world.

Pope Leo is holding an outdoor event in Chicago at the same time. Wanna bet who draws a bigger crowd?

I don't necessarily agree with the Trump big parade, but then I ask why don't they roll all the loser anarchists and illegals and anti-American protesters in LA down the street using using water cannon, and the water that the incompetent LA leaders failed to use to stop the Palisades fire.

So, your current AI alias does agree?

This coming Saturday, June 14th, almost simultaneous with Trump's Army/Birthday parade in Washington DC, the Diocese of Chicago is going to be holding a celebration recognizing the election of Pope Leo the 14th. Now the Pope won't be there in person, but he'll speak over a live TV feed from Rome to the crowds at Rate Field, where his favorite team, the White Sox play. The event will be broadcast locally and on the internet. Tickets to attend the event live are being sold for $5 each (10,000 tickets were sold within 15 minutes of them going on sale).

It will be interesting to compare the number of empty seats a Rate Field in Chicago versus what I have to assume will be bleachers set-up along the parade route for the Washington DC event.
