The president was previously forced to abandon plans for a procession in Washington, D.C., due to its colossal price tag.

      Anyone who hasn’t watched Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator really should. In the movie they mock how Mussolini was simping for Hitler and wanted to impress him by trying to one-up him at every occasion.

      This is totally what Trump is trying to do with Putin right now. Trump is a Putin simp desperate to get his attention.

    Other unnamed officials told the paper that a big military parade will require a huge amount of coordination between the six branches of the armed forces, along with several federal agencies and regional officials.

    If it happens it’ll be a shit show…

    To quote Henry Zebrowski:

    I have a bad idea, and I’m gonna execute it poorly

      That’s an interesting strategy question. Would it be more effective to not show up, knowing there will be swarms of magats anyway, or to create a huge protest? At what point does lack of an audience trump a protesting audience, and what will they claim for attendance?

      When there is video footage of the parade, someone needs to make a video clip that is compiled from several clips from the US, North Korean and Russian military parades and put “Entry of The Gladiators” as the background music.
