A 78 year old that wears diapers, looks like he's winding down and the personality of a toddler.
Seriously, sometimes I look at who MAGA coalesced around and I am still baffled that thats the guy they decided they'd make their god king empower who can do no wrong.
i don't care for kids. but i would tolerate a busload of toddlers before 1 trump
79 soon!
Seems pretty typical as far as kings go.
They even wrote a glorious song about me being emperor with no clothes!
Curious to see how unglued this country gets after pissing on Trump's parade, I have a feeling we're in for quite a treat
Someone is going to die on Saturday. Calling it now.
Some one? I'm sure there will be more than one lol. And unfortunately probably not who we want it to be.
Well, I mean, someone dies every day
One big protest can easily be shut down. Split this into dozens of protests at different intersections and the cops will be hopelessly outnumbered at every location.
No kings but guillotines!
All kings deserve one throne: the guillotine
From Wichita, I know we've got a few hundred fired up and ready. The last protest that had this much momentum here was George Floyd. But this time it's so dangerous. To say I'm scared is an understatement.
Don't all protest in one location.
From Wichita
Please make Seven Nation Army your marching song lol.
And godspeed to all you brave souls withering this storm! Power to the people!
I seriously hope his parade becomes a big farce. Its already a symbol for so much of his bullshit. If it barely makes it anywhere and becomes a circus, I might buy a cake to celebrate.
I hope people throw tacos.
One of my theories is that he'll cancel it due to "civil unrest" and try to throw more armed forces at it.
Nah he has been wanting a military parade since 2016 so his ego is to a degree riding on this. If it gets cancelled for any reason he will be pissed, heres hoping as many troops as possible pass out from heat exhaustion. Especially those who were voluntold.
Why them especially?
They're the ones who probably want to be there the least, if they pass out from heat exhaustion they are more likely to let go and no longer participate.
It sure would be a shame if, in the bravest act of bravery so far this century, a few patriotic soldiers were to steal some demolition munitions and take out a bridge along the parade route, the night before the parade is to start. Sure would be a shame.
So much boom gathered in one place. It reeks of opportunity.
No doubt something will go wrong. At all levels this administration is monstrously incompetent. They probably had Chatgpt plan the parade route.
I predict bloodshed
Trump said protestors would be met by force several times. Of course using his 3rd grade level of English: "big force", "huge force", etc
And No Robber Barons.
Also the anniversary of an important attempt to liberate the Dominican Republic from Trujillo, a fascist dictator who was propped up by the USA.
