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

What a wonderful country we have.

Home of the brave my fucking ass.

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?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

About 6 miles, per the various youtube videos I've spent the last 37 minutes watching.

Nice. Be better used in a multi-target area though, due to shrapnel damage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Luckily he's always in a multi-target area.

Thats SOP for lying, criminal personalities to surround themselves with fawning sycophants

Right? NASA's asteroid redirection program would have been the perfect tool for the job.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

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.

all dictators like to parade, nothing new. wake up us. time to impeach that orange shit!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

LOL you definitely were going to get him in jail 4 years ago.
It was ridiculous back then and now even more.
If only they would've called to impeach Hitler, history would've been different.
What a bunch of weak pussies americans are.

I remember him wanting a big military parade during his first term too. Somehow he didn't get it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Wasn't it because the streets in DC aren't capable of carrying heavy military equipment?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

No need to insult and compare NK to that pathetic banana republic

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

welp, he achieved the full definition of fascist dictator with that one now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

The North Koreans are always showing off with their nukes. 1up them!

[–] [email protected] 222 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Wow. Just like every dictator out there with a huge inferiority complex, trying to boost their ego.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

‘Look at the size of my ~~penis~~ parade!’

Anyone who hasn't watched Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator really should. In the movie they mock how Mussolini was simping for Hitler and wanted to impress him by trying to one-up him at every occasion.

This is totally what Trump is trying to do with Putin right now. Trump is a Putin simp desperate to get his attention.

If this isn't waste, fraud, and abuse, I don't know what is.

I'm just imagining how much logistic support they're going to need and how many people they'll have to move for this

The draft dodger Private Bonespurs
