You're clearly much happier away from America.

America isn't clamoring for your return.

Looks like it's a win - win.

First of all, taxpayers don't pay for Gay Pride parades. Secondly, you are aware that a great many soldiers are LGBT, right?

They are not mutually exclusive. Gays serve in the military.

All I know is that the three cows who were going to be slaughtered to make Trump's size 54 Air Force leather flight jacket for the parade are now breathing a sigh of relief.

Agreed. If only we could dedicate a day to honor our soldiers and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, maybe in November and May, respectively.

Like, a day of veterans and a day for memorial.

Just once it would have been nice to honor America's heroes that way. Sigh.

Repped. You know that will go right over Toyman's head. Right?

They are exploring other options for 2019.

"President Donald Trump said in February that a military parade in Washington would be "great for the spirit of the country," but that it would need to come at a "reasonable cost."

Yes, he will be too busy trying to figure out a really really good name for the day of veterans and the day of memorial to notice.

At $92,000,000 though? No. Find a cheaper way to instill pride.
