That is a most excellent hat! Lord love us, now I have to wake up every day to worry that the IDIOT has started WWIII? He's too stupid to realize how much Israel is playing us. For money, for arms and now to fight their battles? ~Susan. It's sad that I find myself rooting for the Yellowstone SuperVolcanoe.
Trump’s parade isn’t what he was hoping for. Moira Donegan Guardian columnist
As Trump has illegally seized control of the California national guard, deployed the marines to Los Angeles, disappeared dissidents, crammed migrants into internment camps with atrocious conditions, and had his underlings rough up opposition leaders, the military parade was meant to celebrate his successful pursuit of his dictatorial ambitions, to emphasize the solidity and fearsomeness of his rule, and to remind onlookers that those who oppose him can be met with violence. -- nordy
The trouble is, that because of his weak ego and insecurities, he *escalates*. He does things that are ever more outrageous and unlawful to prove how *tough* he is and to avoid the realization that he's a coward. ~Susan
But what really made No Kings feel like a potential turning point was the juxtaposition with Trump’s anemic parade in Washington, which fell on his birthday, though it was ostensibly held to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary. Videos showed tanks squeaking down the street in front of viewing stands that were more than half empty. The Wall Street Journal, no left-wing rag, described the crowd as “sparse” and “subdued.” A display that was meant to be bombastic and menacing instead looked pathetic. -- nordy
