Members marceline Posted February 7, 2018 Members Share Posted February 7, 2018 The military and specifically the Joint Chiefs have a reckoning coming. At some point they are going to have to stand up to Trump. They will have to choose between him and their oaths. If Kelly is any indication, I'm not hopeful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted February 7, 2018 Members Share Posted February 7, 2018 I wouldn't count on his forgetting about a parade since he wanted his inaugural parade to have the BIG GUNS. What a petulant child! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 7, 2018 Members Share Posted February 7, 2018 Same. (By the way, Roman, I apologize for stepping on your toes by posting my link after you posted yours. But I couldn't resist the "ME WANT PARADE!!" joke.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 7, 2018 Members Share Posted February 7, 2018 Have you checked out the process? I imagine it's hard, but maybe not impossible. I wonder if there is anyone with the power to tell 45 "no" when it comes to this parade. It's completely insane, but he's the Commander if Chief. Obviously, Congress should be trying to shame him out of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 7, 2018 Members Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Agree. Of course, we know they won't. Not the Republicans, anyway. They'll try to spin that opposing this parade means you don't support the military -- which couldn't be further from the truth, if you ask me. If I truly believed that he was doing this FOR our troops, then I wouldn't hesitate in pledging my support. But it's just so obvious that Donny Small Hands wants only to show off.

Members Juliajms Posted February 7, 2018 Members Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Yep. I agree with Vee that 45 is some genius, but at the same time he has pretty good instincts when it comes to dividing people. There's also a little gaslighting going on here. He's aware that some people think he's a fascist. This type of military parade is right up the ally of some kind of "strong man" dictator. This tweet makes me happy. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/961253222055804930 Edited February 7, 2018 by Juliajms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted February 8, 2018 Members Share Posted February 8, 2018 I figured as much when he went after Frederica Wilson. If I had been her, I would have taken off my hat and beat him with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 8, 2018 Members Share Posted February 8, 2018 Lord alone knows what they are planning for the midterms. This is such a huge issue. And yeah, this POS needs to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 8, 2018 Members Share Posted February 8, 2018 Trump claimed responsibility when the stock market was up (though presidents rarely have anything to do with this), so is he going to take responsibility now that the market is down? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
