Oh no. The horror of somebody wearing a mask. Should be illegal, right? 

Just want you to be safe from...well...whatever it is you all are afraid of during those "peaceful" protests

What is the military parade commemorating?   250 years of the US Army, whose inaugural first 10 years was fighting for our independence.   That is the reason for the commemoration.   Seems like a noteworthy thing to do in a rational country.   Things are not rational in this country thus it makes one wonder if it is wise to do this.   Protesters should be welcome, law breaking not so much.

Obviously you don't mind law enforcement wearing masks eh?

It should be 100% privately funded. Waste of taxpayer dollars. I don't care about it and neither does anybody I know, whatsoever. And I was in the military for 6 years. Honorable discharge w/ several awards. Never wanted to be a waste of taxpayer dollars though.

actually, I bet the mobilization of 4,000 national guard troops and 700 active duty marines is costing a lot more than any damage that would have been caused by protesters. 

You’ll be paying for both and them.

Wow. Wish I was near there. He doesn't like free speech, huh? Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Um style. 

 I think you might want to do a little more research on this. It is the Army's 250 th birthday celebration. The Army started planning this over 2 years ago. Trump just happens to be the President to be part of it.

Seems REALLY dumb for him to even be making such a threat, unless he WANTS to agitate people and have an excuse to use force. Create a crisis, just like he did in LA. Then take credit for it after it inevitably simmers down. 

Do you have ant documentation to verify that President Trump said those exact words? You now know how news outlets love to embellish President trumps statements.

I can guarantee that he expanded whatever plans there were. There are literally military parades happening every week around the country. A pre-existing plan for a military parade of some sort doesn't mean anything. The size and cost associated with this particular one is the major issue.

Yes, it's all over the place and there's even a YouTube video of him saying it. 

For the wingers, if it wasn't reported on Fox News (how convenient of them to ignore this), then it didn't happen.

They were going to happen anyway. It’s what Libtrads do when they don’t get their way. They RIOT. 

Jimmy you know these are peaceful riots and peaceful burning of cars and businesses.

Are there seriously any conservatives who are in favor of the military parade?  I tend to doubt it.

We don't have the money to spend; so hate that.

But a military parade officially organized to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary could be an awesome spectacle.  America is no more a dictatorship than France... settle down nancy.

Was there a major parade celebrating the Army's 200th birthday? 

This is pathetic. The Army is just one branch of the military and who else has a big birthday parade specifically for their military? Almost every country's military originated around the same time of the country itself so this is one of the dumbest things I can think of. A huge part of this is obviously the fact that it's Trump's birthday, even though we won't officially state that.

Its fkn awesome.  I like flyovers at sporting events.  I like air shows...

This isn't new for the US either... events are annual for UK, Italy, France...

I'll be paying to repair the damage in LA? Which damage? Was their significant damage to federal buildings? 

At least you are semi open to the fact that there was violence in the riots.  Just asking if there was damage to the federal buildings is a good step forward.

So what you are saying is that in the midst of the planning and Trump prosecutions, Trump was able to get Biden to start the planning for this 2 years ago and set it specifically for his birthday, which just happens to coincide with the date of establishment of the Army.   This has nothing to do with 250 years or that the Army started this effort 2 years ago.

Go ahead and show me where this was planned to be anywhere close to the size and cost that it is going to be, during the Biden era.

They weren't going to happen nationwide. The more recent protests are specifically aimed at Trump's dictatorial behaviors; not ICE. 

They’re all about Trump.  Obama had ICE raids and he deported over a million illegals, but there weren’t any riots.

I looked at this further.   The plans for the celebration were initiated 2 years ago.   To your point, the plan for the parade was initiated by Trump after he was inaugurated.   From an AI summary on a google search.

I thought it was free speech and the right to loot, trash buildings, throw rocks and burn cars & cruisers.  If that's not the case surely local and state authority would shut this stuff down.  Isn't there a clause that says the right to anarchy trumps a citizen's right to safety and security? 

It's apparently free speech to beat up cops and storm the Capitol while trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power too.
