US Politics : And the Finer Art of Grumbling

I'm reading he wants a military parade like "Bastille Day".  Um, does Cadet Bone Spurs know what Bastille Day is all about, because that was the start of this little kerfuffle that happened in France a bit ago.  Does he understand that?  Oh shit, it doesn't matter, he just wants the parade in his honor.  What an small man he is.

It took GWB 3 years to start a war for no reason. Trump is looking at starting one with North Korea this year and there's Republicans boasting it will help them in the midterms.

And he needed to use 9/11 as a catalyst. Before 9/11 it would have been really hard to convince the American public and even Congress of the need to invade Iraq. But he couldn't go after the real prize before dealing with the place the 9/11 attackers actually used as a safe haven.

if they run tanks down the streets for Cadet Bone Spurs' parade, who pays to fix the streets ruined by the weight of the tanks?

If the roads are ruined it's Obama's fault!  D'uh!

Right? I think he saw the shiny's in Paris and wants to see dat in 'Murica!

What the stupid fuck doesn't understand is that there are no pictures of foreign occupiers in front of the Lincoln monument. We don't roll our shit out unless we need it (also, most of it won't start). 

I actually wonder if the Duckworths out there can hand us back our Democracy with this statement. A military 'parade' as seen in most of the world is wholly unAmerican. 

The best part about the Vets day parade is that you get a bunch of old dudes and some late-forties ladies now throw on whatever piece of the uniform they liked best and go strut. 

It's awesome, uniquely American. With all due consideration to the tens of million murdered and displaced by the European immigrant Americans, it takes a certain level of "I just don't give a fuck" to dominate a continent as thoroughly as Americans did. 

The ability to set a date, presumably hold registrations weeks in advance, for an event and still have everyone involved seem like they just wandered by is the true American spirit. 

Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask instead whether you really want to do that parade until five minutes beforehand.

It's just so incredibly disturbing. He so desperately wants the trappings of a military dictatorship.

If the Deep StateTM can cause the stock market to fall, a two-face would be a cinch!

Okay, speaking of the Deep State, did anyone ever hear that term before Trumpkins needed to fabricate a conspiracy theory why competent career employees in the government resisted grotesquely stupid, irresponsible, and partisan bullshit from this administration?

Yeah it's been around academic circles - mostly among IR scholars - for quite awhile now.
