Trump’s army parade was neither the totalitarian North Korean spectacle that critics had grimly predicted, nor the triumph of MAGA nationalism fans craved
The half heartedness of the military in this parade suggests that they will be half hearted in their enforcement of the regime too. This would make it much easier to resist and overthrow the regime (or at least enforce rule by mass civil disobedience) as large sections of the military are likely to make only a token effort to suppress it.
Yes! I think that’s a very important hint. These guys know how to march in step. It’s drilled in to them from day one in the military. They didn’t do it, and their commanding officers aren’t making them do it.
I’ll probably be accused of being an optimist again, but I think June 14 is when we started winning. That comes from multiple angles.

That’s with as many people as they could pay $1000 and some fast food to attend.
The 1000$ ad was making fun of trump supporters, it wasn’t real
Got a link? I thought 1000 was sus when it’s usually like $250
Ah … As someone with clearly different expectations (living in Russia) I’d say everything except being unable to march in lockstep and showing Coinbase ads was kinda fine, the big costume show in Russian parades doesn’t really cause any feeling of reverence and such.
US military doesn’t have to show anything big on parades, because it, ahem, has modern jets, nukes, air carriers in bigger numbers than some countries have infantry vehicles.
Probably a military ceremony should be organized better, but … it’s a theater anyway. A kind of that falling out of relevance, too.
A tent managed by a beverage company handed out room-temperature bottles of an energy drink, Phorm. The flavor, called Screamin’ Freedom, tasted like hard candies dissolved in water, and an advisory on the cans warned that they were not to be consumed by minors or pregnant women.
If we saw this in a movie, we would laugh at how overly top unreal it was.
Pretty sure that warning is on a most heavily caffeinated energy drinks
Brawndo, it’s got what the body craves.
See, everything was room temperature at the protests because fuck ICE. When they do room temperature its just incompetence
Someone saw office uprising and thought yes I have that energy.
Did you do the campaign that sold 30,000 automatic shotguns to Blackwater? No, we did. How about the nukey the talking warhead campaign? Nope, we did that too. How about that Iraq port game now for children? Oh nope, that was us too. How about my personal favorite: The Agent Orange Soda Campaign? DING, DING, THAT WAS US TOO! ADVER-F–KING-TISING! See, we make reality out of…nothing.
I’m so confused. Are they actually bragging about those things?
In the movie? oh yeah. Dude was super evil. Becoming a half brain zombie resulted in little change.
PHORM. It’s what facism craves!
*phacism
Phaxism

The thirst mutilator
It’s got electrolytes!

This is ridiculous. Room-temperature energy drinks are supposed to taste like cough syrup.
Here’s the thing, they weren’t all leftists. That was the beauty of the “No Kings” moniker, it encompassed all of the people pissed off. That includes a shit ton of republicans.
As she and the other leftists marched, a young man, bare chested and wearing a bucket hat, approached a demonstration marshal. He seemed confused. He wanted to know where the protest for the opposite point of view could be found.
That includes a shit ton of republicans.
In absolute numbers, maybe, but in proportional terms, I’d caution against thinking like that. The vast majority of Republicans remain in lockstep behind their Dear Leader.
A Trump project? A failure? Noooo…

You’ll soon be adding the Trump phone to this list.
Don’t forget Tr*mp Wine. I wouldn’t drink his overpriced plonk if it were the last alcohol on the planet.

Ah go on.
imagine joining the military to serve the country and then being used as pencil dick compensation by a draft dodging con man. and then being the focus of ridicule by half the nation
Much more than 1/2 the nation.
“Democracy” says otherwise, regardless of any numbers or stats thrown around.
which is also embarrassing, seeing as how he’s still getting away with literally everything
Its better than being tricked into killing civilians in the middle east for the past 35 years at least.

She defended Trump’s decision to ban transgender troops from the military, and complained that Biden had subjected the military to political correctness and DEI initiatives. “The military is not a social experiment.”
The irony of saying this statement at a self-fellating and totally unnecessary military parade is too much
You know if they’d had some drag queens putting this show on it would’ve been fabulous as fuck.
Meanwhile, in 1948, Executive Order 9981.
I snorted my coffee reading this.
A secret service officer, trying to explain the general confusion, just sighed. “Nobody knows what’s going on.”
Worthless traitor cunt.
Captain Bonespurs says march more stiffly like the North Korean army.
Due to my interest in military hardware I watched the live stream by LazerPig, and the parade was absolutely garbage. Sure, they showed the Sherman, but no SPAA, or engineering vehicles. They showed the Abrams and the Bradley, but nothing between that and WW2. There was so much objectively cool stuff they could’ve shown off, but it seemed they put no effort in it beyond pleasing the chief cheeto.
The Russian parade was also a disappointment, but the ones with actual quality hardware managed to be even more disappointing.
Fascists make everything worse. Even the thing they claim to be good at.
You know that Trump just told the generals to have ‘a parade.’
Kim or Putin would know exactly which tanks and units he wanted, would have specified how many flyovers, and sweated all the details.

Whaaat? 😂

I’m dead 😂 😂 😂
I always enjoy a feel-good story.
Man, I sure hope he went home and realized how much of a fucking loser he is. You know he won’t though. In his head it was fantasy land North Korea type spectacle. They’ll have some post about how it was bigly and bester than any other parade and how there just have been a million people in attendance with sold out tickets.
