Small pene energy.

Full stop.

It would be cool if no one went. Just him, Musk, and some right wing drifters on empty streets.

Which miles will the protests be stationed on?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 hours ago

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

In celebration, I will be taking stool softeners so that I can take multiple shits that day.

Just another day in the DPRK...I mean US

When there is video footage of the parade, someone needs to make a video clip that is compiled from several clips from the US, North Korean and Russian military parades and put "Entry of The Gladiators" as the background music.

Where was he when the dead soldiers were returning last week?

I know it was a rhetorical question and you probably knew the answer, but he was playing golf

The draft dodger Private Bonespurs

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...

someone on lemmy mentioned that Trump's economic policies are north korea's juche and it is all shaping up that was

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They're going to try to scramble it together last minute so newspapers can't blast out the several hundred million dollar price tag before it goes down.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

There is a standing army. Where do the costs come from? Like flyovers, it will be an exercise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 36 minutes ago

Last time they refused to release the cost breakdown, but quoted 93 million (but that one sounded smaller).

So other than expenses faced by any parade, I don't know details. Transporting the vehicles, road prep and repair (city cost seemed like a big part of it), they might all get paid for anything not routine.

Either way, captain bonespurs can run a parade up his own ass

Wow. Just like every dictator out there with a huge inferiority complex, trying to boost their ego.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

We should all show up.tp fucking protest and ruin his birthday fucking sociopath mother fucker.

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:

Just hanging out with some friends after unsuccessfully trying to flee.

is there a textbook that people like trump read and act accordingly. because its almost as if there is a guide book on being a self absorbed fascist tyrant baby

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I know you’re being facetious and asking this from their side, but from our non-Nazi side I highly recommend “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by Shirer which is a great telling of how Hitler rise to power and a study of him and his crew. I’m sure Trump types read these histories to learn and try to pick up where Hitler failed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

My reading of history is that Hitler failed because he was Hitler.

He was a powerful orator, and also a narcissistic man baby, high on his own self importance long before he was high on meth/cocaine/heroin/etc.

He was too paranoid to trust anyone more competent than he was, and he was fucking incompetent.

I could go on, but in short, Hitler was a conman who tapped into that special hatred that some people have in place of their hearts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Yeah there's a bunch of history books. My mom had a collection of history books on the second world war with accounts of what happened and the atrocities committed.

You just have to take notes in a notebook and call it Project 2025.

there's a playbook, for sure. it's not officially published, but every d-bag like this gets a copy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

It's officially published. Look up the School of the Americas.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

i mean. i guess. it's titled "my daddy never hugged me and kept me away from my mom, whom he may or may not have effectively purchased on account of how incredibly impoverished she was"

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

IIRC our asphalt roads are not built to handle tank tracks and you know little king shits in pants will insist he has tanks going vroom vroom for his big boy parade.
