There's an entire thread about that and, no, it's not.

TV shows are NEVER your best friends when it comes to history; try books.

No one is going to take you seriously, it's just more TDS.

yes, would say the same. As a mother of a veteran I am absolutely opposed to it, the money should be used to support veterans and children who have lost a parent serving their country. Pride in our veterans and our military starts with honoring their service by supporting them where it counts.

Plus we already have a day of a activities and parades to HONOR our veterans

The United States doesn't need to do that crap because we have the mightiest military in the world. You know what France, Japan, and Poland all have in common? They lose wars.

Trump's positions are polar opposite of that of dictators lowering taxes/regulations, private gun ownership, free speech, government decentralization. Stop with the non-sense.

Found a reasonable source.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-a...ade-1517975085

interpret it for yourself.

I see it as more of an ego feed than a threat. Just more signs he is imbalanced but I dont believe the Hitler comparisons.

We should just have McDonalds cater an event at the White House. Trump can invite anyone he wants and they can watch Triumph of the Will. Lots of military parades and everyone claps and cheers for the Fuhrer. Not a single non-white face appears in the movie. Should be just the thing for Trump and his very fine Neo Nazi cult. Setup a camera so Trump's cult members can stream the event live in every trailer park in America.


Trump should get a uniform and a new snazzy title just like Idi Amin. Why be President when you can be:

His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal, Doctor, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas

I heard fourth hand today that Trump wants military parades with forced attendance and if a person refuses, they are branded a traitor! Has anyone else heard this? O M G if this is true. Heil Hitler.
Go ahead make light of the holocaust with the Hitler crap.

Its the best the left can offer when they have no policy.

Colossal waste of money, disrespectful to the troops to require them to put this on when we've got over 40k veterans homeless.

Use that money to take care of homeless vets.

We don't need a display of military might. The entire world and possibly aliens from other planets are well aware of our military power.

He just wants to use public money for a genitalia-measuring contest with North Korea.

Shameful behavior from a US President, but really, the bar he's set is already quite low.
