No need to insult and compare NK to that pathetic banana republic
welp, he achieved the full definition of fascist dictator with that one now.
Wow. Just like every dictator out there with a huge inferiority complex, trying to boost their ego.
Anyone who hasn't watched Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator really should. In the movie they mock how Mussolini was simping for Hitler and wanted to impress him by trying to one-up him at every occasion.
This is totally what Trump is trying to do with Putin right now. Trump is a Putin simp desperate to get his attention.
Just for the historical record, here's Mussolini's last public appearance:

If this isn't waste, fraud, and abuse, I don't know what is.

Fuck this guy. I'd risk my career in protest of I were in the military. No way I'm going to dance like a trained monkey for some PoS like drumpf...

Other unnamed officials told the paper that a big military parade will require a huge amount of coordination between the six branches of the armed forces, along with several federal agencies and regional officials.
If it happens it'll be a shit show...
To quote Henry Zebrowski:
I have a bad idea, and I'm gonna execute it poorly

Let's make a four mile parade of people holding "fuck you, fascist" signs, instead.
That’s an interesting strategy question. Would it be more effective to not show up, knowing there will be swarms of magats anyway, or to create a huge protest? At what point does lack of an audience trump a protesting audience, and what will they claim for attendance?

No money for scientific research but plenty for parades
Sometimes you have to cut school lunches to tackle the important problems
American taxpayers funding a parade for a felon rapist traitor who's destroying our economy and nuking the middle class.
What a wonderful country we have.
Home of the brave my fucking ass.
Merde et Gras?
J'ai ri.
Definitely not a dictator
4 miles? Just have a 1/2 mile parade that goes in a circle. He'll think it is a 10 mile parade.

The USA is extremely lucky that Trump is 79 years old. Imagine if he were 40. By the time he turned 79, they would be living in a totalitarian dictatorship. The luck is that they will suffer for another 6-7 years. Yes, Trump will have a third term, in three years there will be no free media or independent judiciary. The public administration will be turned into mindless voters. All critics will suffer the fate of the oppositionists in Russia and will become "allergic to windows". Forget about democracy. Land of the bigots and the home of the bully.
He can (and has) done plenty of permanent damage. I don’t think age is doing us as many favors as you think. He can put us in the exact same position in 4 years a younger dictator would.
The only difference is whether or not the US can recover some actual semblance of the democracy it once was. The world is already turning away from us and I sincerely doubt we’ll be welcomed back should trump no longer be president. They forgave us his first term, but the second term with him openly threatening other countries is a line that cannot be uncrossed. With us being held at arm’s length it will be all but impossible to recover our position in the world as well as mend our democracy.
My hope is, if we can win and put the maga cult out of its misery, we can change this country significantly so nothing like this happens again. Then, and only then, can we begin to rebuild some trust.
