Legislation would block Trump military parade
Washington Examiner ^ | Feb. 8, 2018

New legislation would effectively block President Trump from staging a military parade after the idea of tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Ave. drew comparisons to North Korea and the Soviet Union.

The "Preparedness Before Parades Act," introduced Thursday by Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., would create rules that make such parades nearly impossible.

“I have severe concerns about the cost, diversion of resources, and effect on readiness of a large-scale parade seemingly conceived only to please the whims of the president,” Schneider said in a statement.

The Democrats are endlessly petty and banal.

Have no problem with a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue. The participants would be the very last soldiers from Afghanistan, Syria and any number of 3rd world “s—t”
holes were we have wasted American blood for the last couple of decades.

Trump should parlay this debate into more funding for the military in every annual budget. It sounds like some Dems will now be on board!

Enough indeed. If this smarmy jackass wants “preparedness”, lets give him REAL preparedness. Start by getting rid of all the “Social Justice Warriors” and all their affiliated freak, kooks, flamers, faggots, and trannies. Give the armed services a top-to-bottom cleaning; start recruiting, training, and promoting REAL warriors.

Ah, no military parades for Trump but none of these spineless weasels had a problem with 0bama acting like a state sponsor of terrorism...

Let's call Fast and Furious what it is. State-sponsored terrorism.

On this side of the border it's violations of the RICO Act. In Mexico and Honduras it's state-sponsored terrorism.

What else would you call heavily arming international criminal syndicates within a foreign country wherein that country is in a death struggle with those syndicates?

Especially when it goes beyond thousands of assault rifles to include grenades, RPGs, shoulder fired rockets, anti-aircraft guns, night vision equipment, body armor and special deals to bring their drugs onto our soil with legal impunity?

Not to mention that the rip crew that killed BP Agent Brian Terry was there with DEA and FBI assistance and approval to attack and kill a rival cartel's smuggling crew.

Let's not leave out the DEA laundering millions of dollars for the drug cartels by setting up bank accounts for them that they otherwise couldn't do.

It's organized, it is spread through every Federal LEA and it violates numerous domestic laws and numerous statutes and treaties that deal with foreign nations. Yet none of it has been officially sanctioned. It's the FedGov acting like mafiosa.

0bama, Holder and Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is state-sponsored terrorism. These criminal thugs are dragging our country down to the level of Tehran and Pyongyang.

This isn’t about parades. It’s about the #resistance VS a duly elected president.

We should do it the way the Romans did it - Trump in a four-horse chariot with a laurel wreath on his head, Hillary, BJ, and Chelsea walking in chains and bound for the garrote at the end of the parade, elephants and drinking and wild revelry with the entire Democrat party in sack-cloth and ashes wailing lamentations - what’s not to like?

Spooked they are. When are they going to learn (hopefully never) that he is commanding them to seal clap and jump through hoops every time.

Reactive and can’t help it.
