stand up and say "$92 million for a military parade is a colossal waste of taxpayer money and not what we are about"?
I'm not holding my breath.
This really pisses me off! Whatever happened to repairing infrastructure, health care for everyone, and education funding!

(15,543 posts)republicans have gotten creative in response to this quandry. They are going to squander our hard-earned tax dollars on BOTH a military parade to honor a five-time republican draft-dodger, AND on glorious, luxurious, gourmet golden golf goof-offs for a self-proclaimed billionaire.
When it comes to squandering our tax money, the republicans are Top Dogs.

Is this military parade before or after the midterms?

I'm not sure that Trump and the Repugs will have a lot to celebrate. Might this be a show of force by Trump and the Repugs to not relinquish their power grab on Congress.
