Summary
Trump is planning a $92 million military parade on June 14, 2025—his 79th birthday, Flag Day, and the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
The four-mile event, from the Pentagon to the White House, revives a long-desired spectacle Trump previously canceled in 2018 over costs.
He has since overhauled military leadership, removing top Pentagon officials and replacing them with loyalists likely to support the parade.
D.C. officials, facing pressure from Trump’s federal overreach, have shown little resistance. Critics call it a vanity project amid broader concerns about authoritarian tendencies.
Putin will be riding in the lead tank with trump.
Doubt the leader of the US would share the spot with trump…
Excellent!
Had me in the first half
I guess he’s lucky eggs aren’t affordable. Otherwise people might stock up on them for this occasion.
Wow, America, you’ve really let an old failure of a person -and Russian asset- turn your country into a dictatorship without as much as a whimper.
Who knew it would be so easy to do it that a failed reality TV star could do it?It’s hilarious, yet shockingly sad, to see this in real time.
I mean, yeah, if it was an evil genius then I could see how it could happen, but to a conman like tRUMP? Christ.It was kind of planned. They kept making people more and more stupid thinking it will make them easier to control. What they didn’t expect is that people will get so stupid they will stop listening to them and choose other idiot instead.
Social media and News brainrot did all the heavy lifting for the last 10 years.
I’m 100% convinced DOGE will stop this as it is not very efficient use of tax money.
They’ll spin it as necessary and patriotic to lift the spirits of the American people, or some bullshit like that.
Just like the millions in taxpayer money that has to be spent keeping Agent Orange safe when he goes golfing… at his own resorts, funneling the money to himself.
I stand with DOGE in this pursuit
Sorry but DOGE only gets involved when the government uses tax payer money to feed starving children or help keep old people from ending up on the street.
Anyone in the military that goes along with this should be removed for treason
i still think he’s just putting all of the military’s eggs in one basket so russia can kill them all with one bomb.
I think this
charadeparade is both a play to his MAGA base and a sort of loyalty test to see who in the military goes along with him.
Sounds like a great opportunity for a massive protest.
The secret service has got to be losing their fucking minds over this. There is literally no way such an event would end well and it’s just not practical to secure such a thing.
Wouldn’t it be hysterical if Trump’s ego was what ended all this?
If he goes anywhere near a book repository in Texas, he’s fucked.
I wonder if the military are practicing the goose step
We could keep another thousand or so federal employees employed for the next year for that, but yeah let’s waste that money for a non-milestone birthday year for an asshole instead.
I guess the soldiers will like to prepare, train and do the parade for a draft doger.
Who also hates them
They’ll have no choice, the “suckers” and “losers”.
I should stop paying taxes
I’m working on having all my jobs convert me to 1099 (some have) and then I’m just going to see how long I can go without paying.
Probably not as long as I’d like, but whatever.
I’m kind of in the same boat. At this point I want to set the federal tax money aside in a high yield savings and then just not pay taxes. I mean, what’s the fine\penalty rate that they charge? If it’s nominal then you may actually make money in the long run by withholding taxes, then negotiating lower rates later
I’m not financial expert but when the stock market is crashing, the high yield savings decrease their value over time
Also, in my country, if you withhold taxes you need to pay a fine, the interest rate and the full owed amount, unless you had a professional accountant expert in tax elusion.
Those discounted rates are reserved for who stole millions, not for regular people
I owe taxes from the past and got on a payment plan. I will be paying it for the next 5ish years.
Yes, there’s insignificant interest related to it (it’s sub 2%). But ultimately I am slow rolling what I owe and they’re getting devalued money later.
Sometimes I just don’t pay and they don’t seem to notice for months and then they send me a notice about it, so I call and make up a story and they forgive the fees.
Look, I am not opposed to taxes. I’m not opposed to the greater good. I donate plenty to local charities and causes. But this administration can fuck right off.
They can’t arrest all of us.
Heil Myself (Springtime for Hitler - Part Two) - The Producers
I literally just heard of this movie for the first time in my life last night and then I o see this
It’s brilliant. Skip the original straight movie and watch the movie based on the musical with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane.
What is this blasphemy? Skip the Gene Wilder & Zero Mostel movie??
It drags. Even Mel said he didn’t like it. The Broadway musical was what he said it was really meant to be.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag
So, 3 months in office and we’re already going to waste over $120m for this fucking cunt to play golf on the job and stroke his ego with a military parade? At least they could fire 2,400 people in an unimportant place like the CDC to offset the costs for things that truly make America great. /s
Oh man, if we could fuck up his birthday party I would be so happy.
30 people along the route of the parade cracking tear gas grenades at the same time would be lovey to see.
This is clearly not worse than J6 and those people are heroes now.
Yes, but I don’t want to see what the SS will do to people deploying “weapons” near enough to the president.
Where’s DOGE on this waste and abuse?
Can’t have a parade if doge fires the entire military!!!
