Military Parade Cancelled

jnug said:
The local politicians who run Washington, D.C. (poorly) know a windfall when they see it. When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up! I will instead...
7:57 AM - Aug 17, 2018

attend the big parade already scheduled at Andrews Air Force Base on a different date, & go to the Paris parade, celebrating the end of the War, on November 11th. Maybe we will do something next year in D.C. when the cost comes WAY DOWN. Now we can buy some more jet fighters!
8:10 AM - Aug 17, 2018

Of course it took two nonsensical tweets for Trump to comment on this ending with "Now we can buy some more jet fighters!" Fighters plural Donald. Do you actually know what the current new US fighter costs? Make that Fighter singular....MAYBE!!!!

That money would go a lot further if actually spent on serving the veterans Trump claims to honor.

Because he's a petty, insecure, ignorant narcissist, who can't resist blaming his failures on other people. With this asshole POTUS, the buck always, always stops on someone else's desk.

lol...he's persona non-grata at all legitimate banks and had to borrow from thieving money laundering Eastern Europeans. Why? Because Trump is a cheat.

Sometimes you just have to admit that what you thought was rain really is orange urine falling onto your head. :roll:

Ladder? BAC? Mellon? Merrill? Not legitimate US banks?

BTW, Deutsche Bank is not Eastern European.

It seems like you are not willing to wait, but instead have drawn conclusions based on nothing.

You contradict yourself in your own post.

I didn’t contradict anything. Seems you already drew the conclusion that trump is not doing anything illegal, based on... what, exactly? I’m willing to wait until mueller is finished, are you? I didn’t make any claims about trump’s business practices, you did. I was the one saying I would rather wait until the investigation concludes to blindly assume anything. And, if mueller clears trump, I will accept the findings. Will you accept his findings?

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank has uncovered shortcomings in its ability to fully identify clients and the source of their wealth, internal documents seen by Reuters show, more than a year after it was fined nearly $700 million for allowing money laundering.

Based on zero indictments over the past decades and in spite of millions spent on go nowhere fishing expeditions.

So far there are no findings to accept.

This statement proves that you are getting tired of waiting and that your patience has dwindled. You’ve already drawn your own conclusions based on lies (Zero indictments? That’s flat out wrong and you know it). What planet are you on? Do you really believe there are zero indictments?

A crazy idea finally comes to an end, but Trump had to blame someone.

Why can't he just admit it was a dumb ****ing idea?
Click to expand...

Everyone can have an opinion about the parade...some pro...some con. The fact that you don't like the idea doesn't make the President's reason for canceling any less valid. It just means you are a hack.

Anyway, I expect that DC Mayor to put a comparably high price tag on the next event that someone wants to have. We don't need hypocrites around, do we?

"Yup, I'm Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington DC, the local politician who finally got thru to the reality star in the White House with the realities ($21.6M) of parades/events/demonstrations in Trump America (sad)," she said.

The military does parades all the time.

From your own link:
Most recently, in 1991 more than 8,000 troops marched down Washington D.C.’s Constitution Avenue in a victory parade celebrating the end of the Persian Gulf War. Stealth fighter planes passed overhead while tanks and Patriot missiles rolled by a crowd of 200,000, according to William J. Eaton and Beth Hawkins of the Los Angeles Times. The attendance was below the 1 million-plus spectators predicted to turn out to view the $12 million event. But by that evening’s fireworks display, the turnout swelled to 800,000.

Since the last one was in 1991, I wouldn't say they have parades all the time.

Not for GOPutin Dicktators

GOP Senators have now thrown this Nation under Putin’s Bus.

Thank Goodness the Miltary will have this, ASAP.

Probably because there are no GOPutin Dicktators to have a parade for.
