Economy Trumps military parade to cost 92 million

[Rational Poster]

if you pay attention, i didn't say it's good or bad
i just compared

Useless comparison.

It's still a waste of money.

Deficit Donny running the US budget like one of his Atlantic City Casinos.
We borrowed the most money since 2008 and the deficit keeps growing so lets throw a parade.
A bet a bunch of Cafeteria Conservatives will act like this is no bid deal.
Fiscal Conservative, Family values party daily reminder they are hypocrites.

Holy lol @ the gymnastics on display by tkotom

Got a pretty good chuckle about Obama "literally" bombing Syria into the Stone Age.

Tko "Trump is smarter than you" Tom.

Military power is just as important as a deterrent as it is offensively.

The world lost respect for America and Trump is restoring it inside of one presidential term.

That's the real narrative.

Military parades may be expensive, but they revive nationalism and patriotism. The right has to win the culture back. Every event, every small step which represents right values is a small win. So yeah, I think what Trump tries to do here is smart.

Because Americans lack patriotism? Why are we rallying troops? Who are we supposed to be bombing next?
This is a waste of fucking money. Period.
Drives me nuts thinking about what actual useful shit could be done with all that money

Another example of how completely full of crap conservatards are when they bitch about wasteful spending and deficit/debt when a D is in office.

Um, I hate to break it to you, but the reason the world has lost respect for America is because of Trump!!!

And do you really think American military power is in question?

 

[Fox by the Sea]

i can't take seriously any concern for budget spending from the US.
the budget is an absurdity as it is.
america probably spent more on napkins sent to the frontlines of irak and afghanistan in the last 16 years.
your entire government spending is an abomination.

So your position is that Trump should use tax payer dollars to win on the culture war front on behalf of righties.

LOL not a trump fan but you cant look at oppositing political sites for true information. Its like looking at Fox for Obama news... Its stupid. They will almost always be negative about the opposing political party.

That being said, im all for us doing a military parade. With Russia and China trying to act tough it would be best to let them know who is still the world military might, and could be good for US citizens who are very divided(aka patriotism) etc.
My argument to play devils advocate is China and Russia are going through a "Cuban missile crisis" right now as THAAD has been implemented in South Korea and Japan now has the AEGIS ASHORE, and a military parade can be seen as "an act of aggression" if China/Russias government spin it right to their people(As Russia is already trying to do few links below)

We just splattered a group of Russian "mercenaries" across the Syrian desert without breaking a sweat.

We completely ignore all of China's warnings in the South China Sea without repercussion.

They know exactly what's up. They have seen many real life demonstrations of our power.

Come at us bros.

This is the second big thing I disagree with that Trump is going to do, first was with the FCC and Net Neutrality. He doesnt need a military parade, the man can bring North Korea to talks and get them to open their boarders with just a few tweets...who the fuck needs a parade?

Wha?

Do you even speak to people outside America???

I have friends and relatives in Europe, Australia and Asia and they all say/ask the same thing in general if we talk about politics. What the fuck is going on in the US? Why the fuck is Trump your president? Did he really say some of this shit? Are you planning on moving out of your country and if so you should move to ours. You Americans are crazy...

No one has done more to destroy America's reputation than Trump so far... lol

Yeah, our fucking budget is the next 7 largest countries (by budget) combined!!!

It's flat out insane that people are defending this shit.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Sounds like it's gonna be a good show.

God you wish you were American in the worst way.

You’re like somen pathetic American groupie who has a hard on for the worst aspect of the country. You def had some head trauma as a young boy.
