That's pretty naive, don't you think?

I don't revere law enforcement and I don't fetishize the military.

Trump's idea of rolling a hundred tanks down Pennsylvania Ave is utterly absurd, and frankly, offensive. But I feel like our current political environment is like a ridiculous high stakes poker game. Trump says or does something somewhat outlandish. Then the Democrat/liberal response is even more outlandish (e.g., pretend Trump's parade = Tiananmen Square) to which Trump responds with an over-the-top asinine tweet, and ultimately at some point the Dems go ALL IN with some nutjobbery like Putin ordered the parade.


I do think the parade,for us ,is strange but here is a question. We have local parades on some holidays where the military is involved and we have them involved with sports games? Why not a parade on a national holiday,like the POTUS is suggesting, so offensive?


Because large scale military parades in the capital are usually connected with asshole regimes like North Korea (see yesterday), USSR, and the Nazi's.


So France and Great Britain are assholes?

Trump is always the victim. Republican and Democrats have an issue with this.

Aren't the roads in DC falling apart? I don't think they can handle SUVs, let alone literal tanks.

This parade idea is asinine and you know it, don't bad-faith me with "durr what about France." Anybody knows we show off our military might around the world every day without even trying. Donald Trump is just a big queen who loves pageantry.

I'm not saying it is a great idea. I am saying it is not that strange seeming when you think about it.

Not what I said. I said these things are USUALLY connected with asshole regimes. And beyond that, it looks like we are in a pissing contest with North Korea. Next Trump will be wearing a military uniform with medals all the way down his pants!

Not saying, just saying, right? I bet watching tanks and baton-twirlers roll through Washington would get your dick harder than an 8th grade grad party.

I read the rest where he specifically targets democrats as being worst because like republicans they also think it's a waste of money and silly. Literally every JORR "criticism" of the president is followed by a but and an attack of democrats, republicans, an American institution or a bizarre question. Chas is mow more objective. It's like talking basketball with LeBron fans. You know that you shouldn't do it but they always manage to pull you in.

Just the fact that you could read my post the way you did makes it difficult to have a rational discussion on the subject with you.

You're normalizing the ridiculous actions and outre views that have become mainstream in the Democratic party simply because you hate Donald Trump.

Anyone who says we are not getting fucked over by the 3 letter agencies is out of their minds.
I thought things would run smoother when they where put under Homeland but it has only gotten worse.
ATF gone,CIA gone,DIA gone. Most of the foreign intelligence should be streamlined under one agency. There is no need for each cabinet agency to have there own,that is what the CIA was supposed to be. Strip out the other shit and let it just be intelligence,its other functions should be allocated to the other agencies that they should belong to. FBI needs to give up its operations outside the USA. CIA needs to get out of the USA. NSA well that is one fucking agency that scares the fuck out of anyone who knows anything about it. Why the fuck does NASA have its own security and intel section? Why I will tell you why,Look who formed it.

"Authoritarian regimes often have military parades, therefore any country with a military parade is an authoritarian regime" is faulty logic.

And let's skip the intervening steps: That is the thought process either explicitly stated or implied by MANY liberals. We all know it is, let's not pretend it isn't.

FTW.

In a post where you rip Trump for another shitty idea, while taking both parties to task for outlandish behavior, somehow you are a Trumpet.

I think the real question is, why perform some silly parade which will only make you look like an authoritarian regime. It literally serves no purpose and can only have negative consequences.

So a parade in the nations capital,on the holiday reserved for the active Military,honoring them by having them march in a public parade is wrong ,okay.

Why do you hate law enforcement?


I don't revere law enforcement and I don't fetishize the military.

Trump's idea of rolling a hundred tanks down Pennsylvania Ave is utterly absurd, and frankly, offensive. But I feel like our current political environment is like a ridiculous high stakes poker game. Trump says or does something somewhat outlandish. Then the Democrat/liberal response is even more outlandish (e.g., pretend Trump's parade = Tiananmen Square) to which Trump responds with an over-the-top asinine tweet, and ultimately at some point the Dems go ALL IN with some nutjobbery like Putin ordered the parade.


I do think the parade,for us ,is strange but here is a question. We have local parades on some holidays where the military is involved and we have them involved with sports games? Why not a parade on a national holiday,like the POTUS is suggesting, so offensive?


Because large scale military parades in the capital are usually connected with asshole regimes like North Korea (see yesterday), USSR, and the Nazi's.


"Authoritarian regimes often have military parades, therefore any country with a military parade is an authoritarian regime" is faulty logic.

And let's skip the intervening steps: That is the thought process either explicitly stated or implied by MANY liberals. We all know it is, let's not pretend it isn't.


I think the real question is, why perform some silly parade which will only make you look like an authoritarian regime. It literally serves no purpose and can only have negative consequences.


Because Trump is an idiot. He is, however, Commander in Chief, which makes this kind of parade his direct purview, and we shouldn't entertain even more chunks torn out of the otherwise recognized power of this duly-elected official.
