Plan on protesting on June 14! No king’s day! Idiot trump wants to spend millions on a stupid parade but cuts funds for medicaid and food programs for children!

I've signed up with our local chapter of Indivisible, so I know about No Kings Day. For an island with a small population, we have great representation.

Our chapter was only started a few weeks ago and we already have a logo and a website.

Every state has protested. Already has been too long for the idiot in charge. Just wish he would disappear! Everything is in a state of disaster now….

I thought the parade was to celebrate the US Army's 250th anniversary, which just happens to coincide with Trumps's birthday. https://www.army.mil/1775/

A President of integrity would let it be the Army's celebration instead of co-branding it, but that's what he's doing--self-serviing opportunist that he is.

I wasn't aware of that. Perhaps it's time I update my resistance media reading list?

June 14 is also Flag Day. Is there no end to this man’s deviousness?

I thought his point was to save money and lower the deficit? He is slashing much needed, life saving programs but has the audacity to even consider such a lavish amount to celebrate his birthday. That is really what this is all about, you know. Even if it wasn’t/isn’t we can’t afford it!

Where does this “co-branding” accusation come from except calendrical happenstance? It reminds me of those folks who read dark meaning into the Trump/Vance team campaigning in a town that had a sunset law a century earlier.

I do agree that the GOP has become little better at fiscal restraint than those other people. Moody’s has just become the last of the big three credit rating agencies to downgrade US debt.

I honestly expected to hear more complaints about the cost of a parade, but it could be that Trump’s opposition is still smarting from those campaign ads about gender reassignment procedures for convicts and don’t want to get into a who’s-more-irresponsible contest.

I heard the cost of the parade would be between 25 and 50 million.

I'd personally prefer something like a Macy's parade over tanks and soldiers.

There is no government efficiency! Just saw a news blurb that taxes will increase for lowest tenth of population but decrease for those with the highest wealth. Totally moronic!
