Why on earth do we need displays of military might on a holiday celebrating our Independence? I can understand an aerial display of red, white, and blue fog by jets, but tanks? Reeks to me of Russian May Day displays.

That's the entire point - his besties Putin & KJU both have big, fancy, military parades, so Trump will have the best and biggest parade.

It will be huge - a much bigger crowd than Obama's inauguration, for certain.

Thanks to “Phantom Fireworks” and “Fireworks by Grucci" for their generosity in donating the biggest fireworks show Washington D.C. has ever seen. CEO's Bruce Zoldan and Phil Grucci are helping to make this the greatest 4th of July celebration in our Nations history!

Because the fetish over the military is part of a culture that amalgamates violence, machismo, capitalism, dogma - don’t make me go on.

And this coming from Cadet Bonespurs who had Daddy get him out of the army.

Why doesn't Trump just go into a bathroom with Putin and Kim and they can compare the sizes of their genitals and get it over with?

The fireworks might be donated, but the National Park Service is having to divert $2.5 million from funds that were intended for upgrade.s to parks to pay for Trump's campaign event (yes, it is a campaign event, with the ticketed locations going to Republican officials and donors).

Beverly Hill Hillbillies / Season 5 Episode 6
Jethro gets a letter from the President to enlist in the Army. Jed doesn't want the Government to pay for Jethro's training so he wants to pay all the expenses. Mr Drysdale isn't happy when Jed wants to withdraw $100,000 to buy Jethro a tank. He's even less happy when Jethro wants Mr Drysdale to be his tank crew dressed as a German Officer.

It's a clever advertising plan by Trump to get Republicans to buy old M4 Sherman tanks off the government, that Trump remembered from television.

Kim, sure, but I can see any way Trump would want to be undressing near Vlad.

Whatever else anyone thinks about Putin, the bloke has serious cojones. You don't get to the top in Russia by being a TV star. I bet he knows where plenty of bodies are buried.

Similar thought here.

Putin has the biggest dick.

Trump is the biggest dick.

The one year I was on the Mall in D.C. on July 4 there were news stories about how much it costs the National Parks Service to clean up after the event. It was well into 6 figures. Supposedly the Beach Boys were playing, but I never caught a snippet of a tune. The Metro was free that day and the cars were a mess. Also, the weather didn't help. There were a lot of people, though, which allows Trump to claim that a large crowd showed up to support him.

I can't really envision an even greater number than I experienced, which was wall-to-wall people milling about. Trump probably figured out that his campaign could suggest that the anticipated crowd all turned up for Trump and so decided to piggy-back on the hordes that show up just because it's something to do. Trump is smart that way.
