So if all of the military is focusing their effort on this stupid expensive bullshit, what's the most disruptive thing a group of well organized people could do?
Bomb pearl harbor? No one would expect it

So, 3 months in office and we’re already going to waste over $120m for this fucking cunt to play golf on the job and stroke his ego with a military parade? At least they could fire 2,400 people in an unimportant place like the CDC to offset the costs for things that truly make America great. /s
I guess he’s lucky eggs aren’t affordable. Otherwise people might stock up on them for this occasion.
I should stop paying taxes
I'm working on having all my jobs convert me to 1099 (some have) and then I'm just going to see how long I can go without paying.
Probably not as long as I'd like, but whatever.
I'm kind of in the same boat. At this point I want to set the federal tax money aside in a high yield savings and then just not pay taxes. I mean, what's the fine\penalty rate that they charge? If it's nominal then you may actually make money in the long run by withholding taxes, then negotiating lower rates later

Oh man, if we could fuck up his birthday party I would be so happy.
30 people along the route of the parade cracking tear gas grenades at the same time would be lovey to see.
This is clearly not worse than J6 and those people are heroes now.

Who does he think will attend this parade?
Seems like a great opportunity for an actual televised protest. Line the parade route with opposition

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag
We could keep another thousand or so federal employees employed for the next year for that, but yeah let’s waste that money for a non-milestone birthday year for an asshole instead.
I guess the soldiers will like to prepare, train and do the parade for a draft doger.
Who also hates them
Sounds like a great time to do massive civil disobedience.
I'm pretty sure the DC cops wouldn't be inclined to step in if a few hundred thousand folks decided to block the parade route.
ACAB.
Good luck
Maybe you even get someone ran over by a tank. Hmm, that sounds familiar.
I know you're being sarcastic, but I'd point out that it wouldn't be the military handling crowd control; it would be the DC police.
DC and Trump have a long and unhappy history.
First article in search.
I'm pretty sure the cops would decide that they didn't want to interfere with a legitimate protest.

Heil Myself (Springtime for Hitler - Part Two) - The Producers
I literally just heard of this movie for the first time in my life last night and then I o see this
It’s brilliant. Skip the original straight movie and watch the movie based on the musical with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane.
What is this blasphemy? Skip the Gene Wilder & Zero Mostel movie??
It drags. Even Mel said he didn’t like it. The Broadway musical was what he said it was really meant to be.
I'm 100% convinced DOGE will stop this as it is not very efficient use of tax money.
I stand with DOGE in this pursuit
Sorry but DOGE only gets involved when the government uses tax payer money to feed starving children or help keep old people from ending up on the street.
They'll spin it as necessary and patriotic to lift the spirits of the American people, or some bullshit like that.
