    Trump orders tanks for Independence Day parade

    about time the US gets their military parade

    Trump orders tanks for Independence Day parade
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48842428

    President Donald Trump's plans to host a military parade on US Independence Day this week have left critics seeing red, rather than red, white and blue.

    At his "Salute to America" on Thursday, Mr Trump will address the nation from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC amid a parade of military tanks.

    But city officials have expressed dismay at the possible damage to roads at the 4 July event.

    A congressman dismissed the celebration as a presidential vanity project.

    "We're going to have planes going overhead - the best fighter jets in the world and other planes too," the Republican president told reporters at the White House on Monday.

    "And we're going to have some tanks stationed outside."

    He said the event will "be like no other, it'll be special".

    City leaders have spoken out against the idea.

    "We have said it before, and we'll say it again: Tanks, but no tanks," the District of Columbia council tweeted on Monday

    Shows the US is full of enough gullible people to swallow the bullshit of a self serving snake oil salesman and elect him Prez.

    Although it's substantially less than 50% of Americans to be fair.

    Not even anywhere near that amount of voters cast their vote for him: I think the total turn-out was only around 60% of all eligible voter and less than half of that elected him.

    Being the draft ended in 1973 probably no dodgers left to run for Prez. All a bunch of old farts like me now.

    Bernie was a conscientious objector. Close enough so I prefer him.

    Preferred is a POTUS ordering military equipment not just for a show but for destroying countries and killing people...

    There is a documentary (no commentary) called Monrovia, Indiana.

    It has no commentary, it's just a spy on the wall thing.

    Gives you an idea of rural America.

    Yeah crazy. Being in the construction industry I see plenty of it right around DC not just middle hickville America. More interesting is that some "educated" higher earners that I run into love him.
    Luckily for me and my piece of mind I don't get to caught up in the political madness.
    I just hope those tanks are gone by Monday I have to deliver some material in downtown DC.
