To all those Army folks, past and present, sorry Dear Leader co-opted your 250th Anniversary. Sucks to have a dictator.

Also—if the Dear Leader is going to have a military parade, he’d better make sure than none of the providers has any live ammunition! Remember what happened to Anwar Sadat….

“We have the greatest submarines in the world.” I would love to see a parade of submarines rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue. And, are we going to see who’s in and who’s out by seeing how close they stand to the Dear Leader as he watches the parade from on top of Benedict Arnold’s Tomb?

Honest to gawd, the only reason a kid might want 250 pencils is if he is selling them on the corner to pay for his mother's health insurance.

"The thing he swore an oath to uphold and defend."

Yes, he did too. Of course, no oath sworn by Trump is even worth the breath behind it. Ask any of the three women who heard him dashingly pronounce wedding vows.

Everything Chump says is projection. I believe that we are rapidly on our way to a world of economic collapse where the only currency accepted will be No. 2 pencils.

For serious, this is going to hit young families especially hard. Daycare costs are insane, and inexpensive foreign made products help keep the costs affordable.

There’s that constant stream of clothes, toys and shoes that kids need, they don’t have to be high quality, because they outgrow them. On top of that, there’s car seats and changing tables and potties and playpens and dishes, cutlery and cups designed for kids.

Parents aren’t buying this stuff constantly because of some materialistic fetish. They are buying it because their kids keep outgrowing it and need replacements.

So many of Trump’s policies are an attack on young people. They’ve been disproportionately affected by the firings of government workers and now they are going after their paychecks if they have neglected student loan debt.

“ TRUMP: Peanuts compared to the value of doing it. We have the greatest missiles in the world. We have the greatest submarines in the world. We have the greatest army tanks in the world. We have the greatest weapons in the world. And we're going to celebrate it.”

Noticeably absent was any mention of the people who operate those tanks and submarines. You know, the ones he calls “suckers and losers.” For Krasnov, it’s always about the toys, not the people. He couldn’t give a rat’s ass about people.

All he can brag about is making money off the backs of the entire country. Please keep hammering this point. Taking candy from babies.

I also wish reporters actually called him out that when he says "we" he means himself and his rich fuckwad buddies, not the American people in general.

Look, these interviews aren't needed any longer. Sir has already enunciated -- out fucking loud -- every possible brain tremor that can find its way out of Sir's asshole or mouth. Just have the reporter sit, alone, and read from audience-submitted cards ( for example: "Sir, I understand you've found actual cheese on the Moon -- how did you do that and what does it taste like, Sir?") and then run a randomly selected Sir clip in response.

That link to the article about Assmouth cultists who run Assmouth shops is just so classic. They buy their shit fro GINA because it’s not made here cheaply enough that they can make a profit selling it. And yet they don’t see the inherent flaw in their support of tariffs, that the rising tide won’t raise all boats but will just raise prices until people can’t afford to buy any of it. I’d like to find the cartoon I drew once, which showed a rising tide with a guy in a yacht floating away freely, with a guy in a dinghy anchored to the bottom by debt getting swamped.

It would be risible if it wasn’t a microcosm of the rest of the country.

I’m really looking forward to seeing our greatest submarines in the world paraded down Pennsylvania Ave.

I suggested they make papier mache submarines from the waterline up and have Naval personnel inside marching them down the street. He'll believe they're really churning their way down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Maybe we could do that with the tanks also, too. From the distance he'll be at, they'll look as realistic as fuck to him.

"We have the greatest missiles in the world. We have the greatest submarines in the world. We have the greatest army tanks in the world. We have the greatest weapons in the world. And we're going to celebrate it."

You thought it was expensive, but imagine the damage to the streets of D.C. that will need to be done to be able to float a submarine in the parade.

But at least we can celebrate the glories of the Army's submarine fleet on the celebration of the Army's 250th anniversary.

Wait, 250 years? How the hell has the proven rapist Trump not dumped our army for younger Eastern European model????
