You think it's cheap to close off city streets in DC, provide police for security along the route, coordinate security for the President to be at the parade? That's a lot of man hours in planning and execution. That doesn't take into account the traffic issues and everything else. DC isn't going to make a ton of money on this. It's not like people are going to shop or hit up a ton of restaurants in a part of town where all of that is shut down.
Pentagon postpones Trump's military parade
- Thread starter moe
- Start date
Have you been to downtown DC? I've gone to fireworks there on the 4th of July many times. I used to go into the city to visit monuments on occasion. Nothing is open in the downtown area. You aren't hitting restaurants on your way out, at least not in DC. You are trying to get out of the huge mass of people. I've been in Metro stations on the 4th where you couldn't breath because of the number of people packed in there.
Let’s be clear here. The main driving reason to have one is entirely about pacifying his ego. This is third world dictator ****.
Mattis addressed that number and said whomever came up with that was probably smoking dope
I see it’s the highbrow fvckers that are the problem in your equation, not those that would be our protesting, spitting, and likely attacking the parade. Interesting perspective.
So there’s no difference between people that protest against the spending to hold a parade, and people actually protesting the honorable service members in the parade? THAT’s an interesting perspective. It’s the highbrow fvckers that think they know what happened and judge accordingly even before it’s actually happened.
This is literally a entire thread of those on the left doing exactly that. Hahahaha
Not according to liberal logic. We’re all Nazis and Klan members, at least, according to some your more esteemed colleagues. I’m just playing by your rules.
They actually have a pretty detailed estimate with the numbers broken down and it will cost DC alone $27 million.
Don't you just laugh your *** off at Leftists complaining about Military spending while denying they are Leftists who hate the Military? [laughing]
Question for you Leftists: What other spending gets your Leftist dandruff so kicked up? How 'bout that 800 billion dollar stimulus that just vaporized into "shovel ready" jobs yet today somehow, someway, 10 years later is responsible for the the lowest unemployment rate in history among Women, teens, Hispanics, Blacks, and just about anyone who is willing to actually work instead of waiting on wasteful Democrat controlled "stimulus" spending?
If ya'll weren't such fake phony frauds about wasteful spending you'd actually be believable.

As long as Antifa continues to be the face of the protests that;s what you are going to have to live with. Like it or not, they represent you and your party affiliation and they will continue to represent you until leadership of your party strongly disavows their fascist behaviors.
Discussion about if a national military parade should be funded turns into ..... “liberals hate the military” and “liberals love Antifa” ..... makes sense.
Antifa are a bunch of little ***** bitches that seek to destroy the very thing they claim to love......they are too fvcking stupid and ignorant of history to realize that many of the things they protest have literally given them the ability to protest like little bitches.
The US doesn’t need to pose like a world power running their troops through red square. Standing for the anthem or masturbating to the sound of rumbling tanks and marching boots on Main Street aren’t needed to keep Americanism alive.
People on both sides need to stop being fvcking babies about everything.

For you liberals who don’t care about the national debt and budget deficits, that $92M for the parade will be borrowed.
What benefit does the country get from the parade? I’m already proud of our military. Our armed forces already have high morale. But you want to borrow another $92M from our kids and grandkids so 8 yo Donnie can wave a little flag while the tanks go by. F’n imbeciles.
We have a sitting Dem Gov stating that America isn’t great. We have a sizable percentage of this country that doesn’t believe we’re the best nation in the world. You all are equating this to Red Square which is extremely ironic, when the point of it is just a show of patriotism.
I’m not really into things for the “show” of it. Patriotism isn’t just lickin boots
You’re right, it’s running around in masks and shields, throwing rocks, burning the flag, constantly berating people who want to feel national pride and calling them racists and xenophobes, rewriting history to tear down the nations deeds for “historical perspective” to remove whitewashing, and marching holding signs that say “**** the USA”.
Given the left’s brand of greatness, I’d rather take a nice opportunity to show American might and give the men and women chosen an opportunity for us to line the streets in support.
What's the first thing these 'cost conscious' Leftists want to cut when it comes to the budget?
Anything else?
Anymore questions?
I'd suggest two words when Leftists start complaining about any spending they don't control.
Folks I remind you all only one party had a chance to stand for "in God we Trust". Only one party voted against taking that stand. It wasn't our Armed Forces.
When a Democrat "Patriot" recently asked his fellow Democrat delegates to support adding "God" into their platform, we saw what most Leftists really believe and where their "Patriotism" lies.
They weren't happy about God being part of their party platform!

Not to mention the billions that have been repatriated from overseas by US companies and the billions added in value to stocks since he's come into Office slashing corporate taxes and reducing burdensome regulations on private enterprise. The Left is only worried about this parade because they know it would help make Trump look better than they prefer him to look before the American people.
News flash...the American people aren't paying any attention to what Leftists want them to think about Trump.
You honestly think the US used to spend $100 million on overseas abortions?
********! Do the world a favor and just put an end to your miserable, stupidity-filled f’ucking life.
Says the racist. No surprise that you support the abortions of babies of color all around the world.
U.S. gives Millions to international Abortion gropus
except:
A government report shows two international abortion advocacy groups received $128 million from USAID, a federal agency that distributes foreign aid.

New report shows Planned Parenthood raked in 1.5 Billion over 3 years
excerpt
The Government Accountability Office report also revealed huge sums of taxpayer money went to other abortion providers from 2013 to 2015. Marie Stopes International and International Planned Parenthood Federation received $110 million and $14 million respectively for global health assistance through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

I don't know if country supports foreign aid for Abortions, hard to believe since most Leftists these days are essentially fiscal deficit hawks, opposed to all unneeded Federal spending! However, it's beyond ill informed to suggest the U.S. is NOT funding abortions overseas, and I've linked to at least two articles in this thread among many others easily available online with only a little research that disproves that ill informed remark made by country in post #75 of this thread
