I think it's more reminiscent of the military parades we used to enjoy, well at least before the military became so unpopular during the Vietnam era. Other countries still routinely have them, France is well known for its annual Bastille Day military parade which its citizens seem to enjoy.Originally Posted by frugal-one
As far as costs are concerned, I'm not sure how to measure it. As a percentage of the Army's budget? As a percentage of the Federal Government's special event and ceremonies budget? Or perhaps a percentage of the numerous protests scheduled and heavily promoted for tomorrow?

It will be interesting to see what sort of “No Kings Day” protests develop. From what I can tell from the LA rioting, the main beneficiaries so far have been the MAGA agenda and the Babylon Bee.
Would be better served to give back to our veterans instead of all the radical cuts to their services. I don’t think we have ever had a parade such as this. It reeks of a display of military power that is not necessary. Would rather the money not be spent. Just adds more to the deficit. Just saw that trump is trying to outdo the parade he saw in France on Bastille Day. How idiotic is that?
Over 1,800 protest sites to date against trump are scheduled for tomorrow! The show of force by the bringing in of the military is how a fascist regime operates. Hope the agitators stay home and it storms for the parade!
My husband had a good question the other day. Those tanks that will be rolling down the streets in DC today will do much damage to the road surfaces. Who will pay for the street repairs?
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
Somewhere it mentioned the costs are being paid from Army funds. They did mention street repair also.
And it's not even May Day.
Our local town's protest, 500 people in a town with a population of 5400.
Husband said that there were five incidents of aggression, all by people wearing Trump clothes or driving vehicles with Trump signs. One spread diesel fumes in a cloud over the faces of the people at the protest.
I’m sure you’ve heard of the state rep killings in MN. The list the shooter left at the second location seems to have abortion clinics on it and other Dem politicians, including Tim Walz. I’m sure the timing was deliberate.
