American taxpayers funding a parade for a felon rapist traitor who's destroying our economy and nuking the middle class.

Just like 3 inches to the right this time. Center of the target.
Let's hope the next guy has a Remington 700 or better
or better
What's the typical range on one of those?
About 6 miles, per the various youtube videos I've spent the last 37 minutes watching.

Nearly 90 million people didn’t vote in the 2024 USA election. If you don’t want to become an American, don’t act like onel

4 miles? Just have a 1/2 mile parade that goes in a circle. He'll think it is a 10 mile parade.
Clear out the parking lot around The Ellipse and have them drive around that. Make sure he is facing away from the center so he cant see them circle around, and just keep going until he is tuckered out and gets tucked into bed.
Definitely not a dictator
all dictators like to parade, nothing new. wake up us. time to impeach that orange shit!
The USA is extremely lucky that Trump is 79 years old. Imagine if he were 40. By the time he turned 79, they would be living in a totalitarian dictatorship. The luck is that they will suffer for another 6-7 years. Yes, Trump will have a third term, in three years there will be no free media or independent judiciary. The public administration will be turned into mindless voters. All critics will suffer the fate of the oppositionists in Russia and will become "allergic to windows". Forget about democracy. Land of the bigots and the home of the bully.
He can (and has) done plenty of permanent damage. I don’t think age is doing us as many favors as you think. He can put us in the exact same position in 4 years a younger dictator would.
The only difference is whether or not the US can recover some actual semblance of the democracy it once was. The world is already turning away from us and I sincerely doubt we’ll be welcomed back should trump no longer be president. They forgave us his first term, but the second term with him openly threatening other countries is a line that cannot be uncrossed. With us being held at arm’s length it will be all but impossible to recover our position in the world as well as mend our democracy.
The reputation that America lost is gone for good. It will take a colossal effort and time, and these people who caused the problems are not going anywhere. They will continue to cause problems and oppose any solution no matter what.
Conservatives ruin everything.
I wish they were actual conservatives, not fascists and grifters.
And In the end it's not really on him alone, there are far too many of us who WANT to be isolated and aggressive because they've been brainwashed into thinking were untouchable, despite the fact that "America's become weak thanks to all the gays and feelings" and "kids these days never worked a real job". The double think is insanity
My hope is, if we can win and put the maga cult out of its misery, we can change this country significantly so nothing like this happens again. Then, and only then, can we begin to rebuild some trust.
Trump has been called a super ager by some people. That means despite a highly unhealthy lifestyle he has managed to remain active and functional despite all else.
Don't think he could just drop dead tomorrow. While I am sure millions of people would like it if he died suddenly of a heart attack or stroke, that probably isn't going to happen. Kissenger lived to be 100 despite not being much of a healthy looking guy for decades, and his slurring speech patterns were widely mocked as early as the 90s. I am not sure if anyone who wrote his Freakazoid appearance in the 90s ever thought he would live as long as he did.
What I am ultimately saying is that he might make it to 90 and still keep going.
Please, this isn't the kind of information I wanted today. I eat one mcdouble and feel cardiac arrest behind me and this guy can eat them on the daily
I am very sorry about that, and it fucking sucks. Although one thing I find funny (in a bitter manner) is how Alex Jones once said that the elites of the world don't eat the same food as we do on a fundamental level. He was invoking a Stalinesque form of paranoia (Stalin really did have special farms for him personally that were staffed entirely by NKVD members), but what Trump is doing should have fundamentally laid that to rest. He is a garbage eater but still survives. Inactive, and with a foul temper that would have raised anyone's blood pressure levels to dangerous levels but he still just lives.

FUCK THIS IDIOT.
Disgraceful.
I remember him wanting a big military parade during his first term too. Somehow he didn't get it.
Wasn't it because the streets in DC aren't capable of carrying heavy military equipment?
hope he rides in that ol 1961 Lincoln Continental 4-door convertible "X-100"
ik the cia prolly still has one in storage.
edit:1*961
A specially modified Swasticar would suffice.
He should show the world he is brave to travel in an open top car so his adoring fans can see him.
The article says "A source in the capital told the Washington City Paper that Trump has earmarked June 14—which is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army—for the event."
He can stand on a podium and wave like the Soviet leaders of old.
I yearn for that one M1 Abrams in a column of them to focus its turret on the tribune as it passes.
welp, he achieved the full definition of fascist dictator with that one now.
The North Koreans are always showing off with their nukes. 1up them!
