Discussion: Trump Says He'll Show Off The US Military In Parades - TPM Article Topics - The Hive
the guy is commander and chielf of the military. the same military hamstrung by regs during wartime, the same vets that sufferred under obama at the VA after Obama said he was giving it his laser focus in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016. the same VA problems hrc proclaimed was cherry picked by the repubs to make the whole organization look bad.


About time the military got some good PR.


A sign of things to come is when obama sells 25% of our uranium supply to puitin and defends him in a debate.


During obama's reign the empire state building lit up red and yellow to celebrate the 50th annibv of communist red china.


Obama did his best to take guns away from law abiding citizens... your list of bad guys did the same.


Your list of bad guys would applaud obma when his USAG falsified a warrant and judge shopped to spy on a journalist.


You are looking at the wrong signals. Review the past 8 years and see what the preface to a totalitarian society looks like

And umm pre Obama care my health insurance was 35 dollars a week, with a 50 dollar copay for ER services, 10 dollar copay for medicine.

Obama care comes along... Now I have to pay 90 dollars a week and come up with 3500 dollars out of pocket? And trump screwed the working class? Bwahahahahaha that's RICH try again...

Giving tax incentives for businesses and cutting entitlement welfare programs GOOD
Sucks to be you, if you don't have marketable skills but a BS degree from a liberal social justice warrior indoctrination puppy mill. I mean college.

I don't do too bad though. Cleared 97k when I was 27... 86k when I was 28 this year I might break 90k.
I plan to start a business if the taxes are reduced from 35 percent to 15 that means I can pay my employees better.

No sense in arguing with you though, you subscribe to obamanomics

Ever hear the term, you get what you pay for? Do you honestly think that you are fully insured for $35 a week with a $50 copay? If so, there's a bridge somewhere I'd like to sell you. I had the same argument with someone 15 years ago who claimed he was "fully" insured through his company for $30 a month. These small amounts you're paying pay for basic things or one time injuries, trips to the ER and such. Even then they might question it. They don't pay for anything serious or long term. Countless ppl have lost or been outright denied care from their so called "fully" insured plans when they came down with some serious illness. The only reason why you only have to pay $35 a month or week right now is because poor fools who believe they are fully insured through their company, for a few bucks a month, are being denied care every day. Even the ones who pay a lot more. That's how medical insurance used to work and how they make billions off suffering. No one on the right seems to think that they might end up being that poor fool next.

Expensive military parades serves no one but Trump's ego and will be paid for by cuts in programs for the elderly and the sick. The donor class has already been promised trillions in tax breaks and Trump's spending proposals are gigantic for such low projected revenue as a result of the donor class tax breaks.
The parades were more or less the same the last few years.... Where have you been, locked up in a closet? This is my second parade- first was for Bush. Ain't nothing change but the year.

You aren't getting anywhere... Just spewing more anti trump unpatriotic rhetoric.
I hope you're some product of a social justice warrior college professor... No way you're 30-60 years old...
You need to go back to your "college" and ask for your money back

And I never had an issue when I had insurance pre Oblunder care. Insurance company didn't weasel thier way out of paying anything... But this is MY experience. Was 35 a week. Post ACA jumped to 90 a week with a high deductible... And doesn't cover much unless it's serious... Meds aren't covered anymore either... So how is it more affordable?

That is what a lot of people honestly thought. If they fell ill and hit some absurdly low annual and lifetime cap - presto, no coverage. Insurance companies loved these - most people don't read the fine print and even those who do think it has to be better than nothing, right?

Employers loved them too - "We offer health insurance!" - and the only people who encountered the scam were those who fell seriously ill. McDonalds got in the ACA debate by (in)famously threatening to "no longer offer insurance", when the plans they hawked were capped at as little as $2,000 per year. Charming, innit?

Lots of people thought they were insured. They were fairly certain that if they fell ill, the nice people who took their money would help.

The junk plans were junk. The people who claim they had actual insurance at junk plan prices are either misled or lying.
