I don't have the statistics, but generally, the Police and the Military are turned toward far right. I'm pretty sure most of them voted for Trump and are happy with everything that's going one. And the financing of both haven't decreased
"Let's put on a parade for this great leader" as opposed to "I want a parade!" (for a greatly, less great leader).
My immediate reaction to seeing this title was split between happy AF "oh maybe he thinks he won't make it to 80" and then "but what is he saving for that birthday?"
I have never honestly, purely, maliciously, and actively wished death on somebody currently alive (I've done it before for certain people to happen right before they did "the thing" they did) than I do now about him. Well, them. Him and the co-president.
And for once I feel no moral uncertainty in hoping it is the most terrifying, embarrassing, humiliating, depressing, public, well-captured (for historical purposes of course), and agonizing things ever experienced by a single human. By a huge amount.
Hitler may have tortured 6 million, but Trump is making 300 some million lives worse. Significantly worse. And if we end up in a war, then 100% of those deaths will be directly attributable to him, as will all the LGBT people that harm themselves under his reign.
All hail King Fathead the Orange.
Tear up the roads.
I doubt he will live that long. Alzheimer will get him like his father.
Unfortunately hate has a way of preserving people, I hope you're right though.
I have some questions. Will the soldiers all be white cis males? Will they be wearing orange makeup and smell like dirty diapers?
I for one, am glad he's planning this.
At some point, the top generals are going to have to make a choice of who to support.
It's actions like this that cost Caligula his life.
I mean... I despise trump just as much as most people here, but it could very well be a coincidence that his birthday and the 250th year of the US army fall on the same day and that it's not for his birthday specifically. This article seems like a shit-stirring one unfortunately, this is bad because it muddies the waters of the actual bad shit he's doing behind the curtains.
