    Hmm, aren’t over-the-top displays of military forces a sign of something? What could it possibly be, certainly not fascism or something silly like that . . .

      this is just so they can get a most of the military in one place, so that way russia’s sneak attack will be more effective

      If enough people show up wearing all black, like it’s a funeral, and boo the entire time, my heart would swell with pride.

    Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a surprise bday protest. Imagine everyone doing as expected one minute and then suddenly all the signs for freedom of speech expression go up in glorious unison! The bigliest bday protest ever!

    what a perfect opportunity to establish a military coup and take back control of our government from fascists.

    opportunities don’t get much better than this folks.

      I don’t have the statistics, but generally, the Police and the Military are turned toward far right. I’m pretty sure most of them voted for Trump and are happy with everything that’s going one. And the financing of both haven’t decreased

        In Turkey, the military seized control on a few occasions to protect the secularism of the state from religious whackos. It should have done the same to Erdogan, but he got his lackeys into place to prevent it.

    My immediate reaction to seeing this title was split between happy AF “oh maybe he thinks he won’t make it to 80” and then “but what is he saving for that birthday?”

    I have never honestly, purely, maliciously, and actively wished death on somebody currently alive (I’ve done it before for certain people to happen right before they did “the thing” they did) than I do now about him. Well, them. Him and the co-president.

    And for once I feel no moral uncertainty in hoping it is the most terrifying, embarrassing, humiliating, depressing, public, well-captured (for historical purposes of course), and agonizing things ever experienced by a single human. By a huge amount.

    Hitler may have tortured 6 million, but Trump is making 300 some million lives worse. Significantly worse. And if we end up in a war, then 100% of those deaths will be directly attributable to him, as will all the LGBT people that harm themselves under his reign.

      Hitler hasn’t tortured 6 million. 6 million is the most likely number of holocaust victims - the total headcount of the war and the civil repressions is far more than 30million.

    “Let’s put on a parade for this great leader” as opposed to “I want a parade!” (for a greatly, less great leader).
