Is it wrong that a small part of me is hoping that the "Parade" is a Parade of Swamp Creatures being taken into custody for their treasonous acts?

Funny, I just kept thinking the parade would be a nice cover to get a bunch of military into the city for high profile military arrests and crowd control of the loonie progressives afterward.

Nobody cares what it costs. Y’all taught us that. Pat yourself on the back.

I’m a Reagan republican, conservative and constitutionalists, and I firmly believe this is a horrible idea. It has nothing to do with patriotism. It’s crass and it gives libs the ultimate photo op. How many of those idiots are going to run into the street and stand in front the tank like what happened at tienimun square in China ? Why GIVE them that ? And the 4 th was Declaration of Independence not a Declaration of war. It’s just plain stupid and wasteful. We need to grow up and spend our energy getting after the oligarchs and the kapernicks of the world. And let’s get the Hillary’s and deep state into PRISON.

How many times was this mentioned in the Q thread?
You tell us. You're the one who spent the better part of six months off and on in the thread, participating in earnest in the discussion. A cursory search yielded nearly 50 instances where you were involved.

I'm going to set the O/U at $40M since that's clearly an acceptable amount for frivolous spending that doesn't yield anything, and I'll take the UNDER.

How bad will a tank frick up an asphalt road
They will have a couple stationary by the monument and then some on flatbeds....no tanks will actually be rolling down the parade route due to the damage it would cause

Estimates are that it'll cost $2.5M tomorrow. That's practically a bargain when compared to the Dems' entertainment budget of $40M for the Hillary-Russia Dossier.
Granted, they spent approx. 17 times the money, spread out over 2 years, but that's entertainment.

Incorrect. The tanks will be stationary. Some military vehicles will be rolling and others, with tracks, will be on flatbeds.

I tend to agree that It’s a bit over the top for a country that could melt any country on the planet many times over with a massive nuclear strike.
It’s just not needed. It’s very Trump like. He knows it infuriates his detractors so he pushes it in their face.
I kinda get it though.
I have a confession. I have some people that live near me who hate trump. Actually I think they hate America at least they hate the American flag. Well I fly the American flag every day. Not to annoy them but for patriotic reasons. For this Fourth of July I decided to go one more step and put up those red white and blue banners to show my patriotism. I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t trying to piss them off just a little bit.

I was a 19K Armor Crewman (tanker) for over 20 years in the Army. It warms my heart to see the Abrams tank which is 72 tons of killing machine stull bring it.
As long as they don’t fly A-10’s over the tank columns...you know, muscle memory can be a bitch.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Declaration of Independence not a Declaration of war
Addendum:
Yet even after derision assigned herein against His Majesty, and even though His Majesty will surely view our action as stealing lands which he feels he rightly possesses and owns as surely as he owns Buckingham Palace or the Crown itself, and even though we opened fire at Lexington and Concord, we are not declaring war. We expect his majesty to simply withdraw peaceably. Our Congress expects independence without any war.

I imagine this has as much to do with the turbine as the tracks. You don’t have to be an 11Bang to know not to walk closely behind that thing.
