Forget the hypocrisy of wasting the taxpayers’ money, but the “fucking moron” (ex-SecState Tillerson’s apt description of Donald Jackass Trump after the narcissist told generals in the Pentagon he was smarter than any of them) wants to turn the celebration of the US Army’s 250th birthday into a complete travesty, an event to celebrate his own birthday. I suppose there are some economies to be had there (what an unfortunate coincidence!), but c’mon! This is the jerk who insulted so many countries by calling them “shitholes,” and here this wannabe fascist dictator wants to copy their dictators’ pomp-and-circumstance crapola. He’s not King Donald, after all, although he wanted to be pope (twenty years ago the photoshopped pic of him in papal garb would have been considered an unforgivable insult by Catholics worldwide!). He’s not worthy of a spit bath from an angry mob and will certainly distract from the army’s justifiable pride.
This moron sure has some crazy ideas. The tariffs by themselves are the products of deranged minds—they can only drive up prices, increase inflation, and turn allies into enemies—but his other ideas are equally or more stupid. Canada the fifty-first state? He’s got it wrong: Canada doesn’t need the US; they have Europe and the rest of the sane world. The US needs Canadian markets; those will disappear, and the US will lose the best ally they ever had! Taking over Greenland…even by invasion? Let me think now: The US would be attacking a NATO country, Denmark, in that case. Are we willing to go to war with NATO, contradicting the treaty that created the best security organization in the world! Of course, Trump the Chump will probably have left NATO by then and teamed up with Putin. (That qualifies as treason, by the way!)
Sending illegal immigrants to Libya? Even sending them to El Salvador violated the US Constitution’s requirement of due process. Of course, fascists don’t worry about violating any laws, and Trump and his fascist sycophants are no exceptions. Stephen Miller would feel right at home in Hitler’s cabinet. SecDef Hogsbreath is so dumb that even Hitler would fire him for incompetence. (Of course, the “fucking moron” loves Fox News. He hired Hogsbreath to reward Fox in general and the Murdoch’s support in particular. He’s naming Jeanine Piro, another Fox anchor, as the top federal prosecutor in DC. At least she had a wee bit of experience, albeit years ago. Hogsbreath had none! Maybe Lil Marco will end up with all the cabinet positions by the time the midterms come around?)
So, a military parade to celebrate the birthday of the “fucking moron” doesn’t seem so crazy compared to all the other crazy things he’s done or wants to do. I’m sure a lot of voters—and not just Dems!—will think that’s all a waste of the taxpayers’ money. Maybe many stalwart MAGA fascists will be willing to pay for it by cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security? In other words, by committing political suicide?
Donald Jackass Trump is a typical, dumb fascist who panders to other MAGA fascists. But many Fascist leaders make the mistake of ignoring what other people think and pursuing their own agendas, no matter how crazy they seem. Some in Trump’s cabinet are damn scary too, not just scary-crazy, though; we can only hope that they never get any real power. There’s Bondi who ignores what she wants to ignore in the law and the US Constitution. I’ve mentioned Miller, who shares many characteristics of the Nazis in Hitler’s cabinet, most notably Goebbels and Himmler. And there’s DHS Sec Noem, who you just know wants to shoot a few illegal immigrants just like she shot her dog. And then there’s Lil Marco who once stood up to the orange devil but now has made a Faustian deal with him; he seems to like kissing that fat butt now, And then there are those “economic experts” who’d like to get as rich on crypto currency as the Trump family.
The Donald’s fascist mafia controls all the federal government now. Most mafia capos know enough to keep a low profile so that their illegal deeds are hidden from the public’s eyes. While one can worry about what Trump and friends are hiding, his military parade might remind people too much about the disaster they’ve created by electing this psychotic sociopath again as US president. Can a parade turn into a rebellion?
