We spend billions to project military power around the world. I'm sure it's quite expensive to have a carrier group visit a foreign port. What kind of value would a televised military parade provide around the world? In my view, none. The world would not care and view a dumbass military parade in Washington as silly. It would be a pain in the butt for the military, screw up the DC area and it's airspace for hours, and with no value. Carriers visit foreign ports for legitimate diplomatic and defense agreement reasons. Not expensive at all. They are often hosted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry Sherpa, Trump won't make you march in his parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people would see it as a reaffirmation of "American imperialism." Of course, most of those are already pissed at being called "shitholes," so I don't think much additional damage would be done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you're saying. Just not sold on it yet. But if so...less trolling. This is the top job in the world. The world looks up to the USA!

They were (and still are) so ripe for trolling because they are so full ****. Trump - "Let's have a nice big parade, honoring our wonderful, brave, hard-working soldiers" "Why are we spending money on THEM?" or "Boo! Hiss! You're Hitler!!!! Boo! Hiss!"

Yeah, but being a troll is not a skill or something to be proud of. Anyone could be a troll. You just have to embrace your inner 7 year old !@#$ self and let loose. Being a master troll is not a skill that would be useful in most adult jobs. President of the USA is an example of the kind of job where you might want to have someone at a level of maturity above the level of troll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to look at his audience....the left hated and attacked and name called him before he was even sworn in, total immaturity, acting like children taking tantrums because they didn't get their way... I have proof...look at youtube search liberal meltdowns, hours and hours of it. You cannot rationalize with people with this mentality. I don't blame him, these people/media attack every single thing about the man, every single day, I mean really attacking family, 10 year olds? Despicable.

But you aren't, and you don't understand that Trump's trolling is the language of the people, and that it was the only response to the ridiculously false state of affairs in politics. The formalized presentation of obvious nonsense that everyone was expected to play along with has peaked out. You're out of step...you're fodder....and you're through.

row_33 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Channel 4 in Buffalo would cover the Dyngus Day parade each year and cut out the late Sunday afternoon coverage of the first weekend of March Madnes. They could go back to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
