    Yep... trump defender dobbs is calling military leaders "snowflakes" because they oppose appearing at trump's "all about me" political event...

    Wait so now it's ok to do things because the French do it?

    are you sure you want to go down that road of reasoning?

    Trump promises brand new Shermans, but we all know that he and his people would have been on the side of the Tigers

    They love the toys. They aren't too fond of the people when they prove to be more than automatons or well-heeled attack dogs.

    Oh, Lou Dobbs, not Trump.
    Seems to me Trump is militarizing Washington (where I am right now) and the 4th of July.

    OK, well that makes his military parade even more stupid. But I don't fault any president for doubting the military.
    I know how this pisses off Democrats, but I want . . .

    To reduce the $700,000,000,000 "defense" budget.
    No aggression against any country, including Syria, Iran, Russia, North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen. . . .
    Stop being kissing cousins with warmonger nations such as Saudi Arabia and Isreal.

    Doubting the military is A-OK with me.

    Trump: We need to make our poor infrastructure great again

    US Media: Our infrastructure is great

    North Korea: Look at tanks on our bridges during our military parades

    France: look at tanks on our bridges during our military parades

    US Media: Our bridges suck too much to hold tanks


    US media <2 months ago: There's no crisis at the border
    Us Media now: Huge crisis at the border!

    Yeah, this never happened. Pretty much everyone agrees that our dam/bridge/road/power grid/etc... infrastructure needs serious work.

    Yup... one of trump's earliest failures... focusing on vanity projects for his base instead of needed and bipartisan projects like infrastructure improvements.

    There was never a time when the media was talking about how great our infrastrucrure was. In fact, they have been lamenting that Trump and Congress haven't passed an infrastructure bill.

    Hahaha liberals you’ve officially reached rock bottom. You’re now protesting a 4th of July parade. How bunched must your panties be to do such a thing?

    I’m heading back out to go to another 4th of July party. Later boys!

    Also, there is literally no infrastructure in the world where you can drive 65 ton Abrams tanks wherever you want without damage, no matter how new it is. That is several multiples of the maximum highway weight load for 18 wheelers on US roads, and exceeds the maximum you can get special permitting for (wide load, lead vehicles, police escort in the middle of the night) in I think every state in the US.

    That was pretty boring. Where's the footage of planes and tanks? Is that later on or something?
