I pray that this was his last birthday he celebrates above ground.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

If Trump becomes a mole person we are all doomed.
It's already hard to tell his ass from his face, we might be there already
Hopefully he meets a peaceful end with an appropriate tie around his neck that shows how much people appreciate his life's works.
Or when his overly long tie gets sucked into the toilet on Air Force One while it’s struggling to evacuate a series of Mc Donalds shit pebbles. Preferably caught on tape and posted to TikTok.
I'm glad it went so poorly.
I think the location of that parade reviewing stand will make a great place to hang him upside down for public review.
Jesus H Christ, Someone teach Trump how to salute…
It's like this, right?
I love how they all look at him like the dumbass he is.
Such an embarrassing piece of douche-garbage.
He can't be told anything. And that's before considering his capacity to learn.
Didn't they give Obama shit because he saluted even though he didn't go to the military?
They'd give him shit either way.
Salute - He's not military!
No salute - He's not respecting the troops!
Presidents didn't salute until Reagan. Like many of the stupid things presidents do, Reagan started the bullshit, trump amplified it to 11.
And then bitched when he didn't
I think it is funny he salutes like he's lost a war.
Organisers for Saturday’s parade said they were expecting “hundreds of thousands” to attend
Ah, bless 'em.
it's possible the poor weather kept them at home
It's also possible that's not the reason
It didn’t stop the protestors. Millions came out.
Opens up Southern euphemism to standard English translation book
Yes I agree.
It is possible the poor weather kept many at home.
Right. Because I'm going to buy a ticket to DC, rent a hotel room, tell my friends I'm going... and then not go because it's raining.
Meanwhile, millions of people showed up to protests in DC and other places with equally rainy forecasts. But sure, news, blame the weather instead of the fascism.
To be fair, that article was overall pretty plainly stating that the protests were overwhelmingly more well attended. Yes they had one line that raised the possibility of weather as a factor, but I think anyone but Trump could see the facts as presented in the story telling the real story.
Also went out of their way to characterize the protests as peaceful and the only politicians under violent threat were Democrats, despite the magnitude of protests.
What a sad, low energy, failing perade
This brings me joy.
Nothing is better than getting under his skin.
I mean I wish he'd have put some bleach under his skin way back when so we'd not be dealing with this specific scenario, rn:/
I like the "No Kings!" messaging, simple and pointed. We need a slogan that is short and sweet for the soldiers to use. Something that shows them they have agency in this.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Maybe a secret service man will stab this mf in the back, then whisper..."Tunnel Snakes Rule"
The 'weather' kept people away. You mean the cold front of fascism that has been pouring in???
Bone spurs in chief
Don't forget draft dodger
STIs were his Vietnam
Someone should have recruited lots of obese men in army uniforms for the parade.
ICE recruited them first.
For a man from hollywood he sure is bad at producing. Reagan was better at literally everything, where are our leaders!? Reagan was still a terrible leader…
He’s from Atlantic City by way of NY. His former handlers were from Hollywood, but they’ve all left by now.
i did my part
Poor widdle guy got his ego bruised. Let’s make him some chicken soup.
Or maybe he'd prefer some chicken... tacos? Who doesn't love a good taco?
Don't give a shit about his feelings. His actions have killed countless people, he needs to hang
