Per CNN: Pentagon postpones Trump's military parade

[nature-lover]

"The Department of Defense and White House have been planning a parade to honor America's military veterans and commemorate the centennial of World War I," Defense Department spokesman Col. Rob Manning said Thursday in a statement Thursday. "We originally targeted November 10, 2018 for this event but have now agreed to explore opportunities in 2019."

1. unless the vile and vulgar traitor gets impeached and removed before then

[fierywoman]

38. I wonder if the powers that plan the parade see him out by then ....

[Kingofalldems]

2. Col. Manning might be losing his security clearance.

[heaven05]

3. about time

they showed up to be counted.

[malaise]

7. Election date November 6

Parade planned date - four days after defeat. Bwaaaaaaaaaaash!

[nature-lover]

13. Funny. They must have just figured that out!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

4. I hear a cracking noise...like ice...on a lake in springtime.

Hope it's not the fatigue. I think the Brennan Affair yesterday was a bridge too far thankfully.

[janx]

24. YEP.

The craziness has gone too far.

[John Fante]

5. The parents of those WWI vets will be so disappointed.

[JaneQPublic]

14. *Snort*

Good one.

[dalton99a]

29. +1

[hibbing]

32. Thumbs up

[malaise]

6. A parade after losing the House and Senate would be fall down funny

The numbers are in.

[Hekate]

18. The numbers aren't in until Stalin counts the votes. I have my fingers crossed so hard. nt

[malaise]

23. They're going down

No way this chain of fools can beat everyone.

[Hekate]

30. So much resistance is happening. It is heartening. nt

[BigmanPigman]

8. I hope they save the brass bands for his Impeachment Parade.

Is it too early to hope for a "Liberation Day"? I will be there with bells on!

[lunasun]

25. Liberation day I like it ! Done by impeachment and proves our democracy

Yes without violence or coup finally liberated a parade!

[FSogol]

9. Too incompetent to plan a parade.

[lpbk2713]

10. They saw a mass mutiny on the horizon.

And they thought this was the best way to prevent it.

[janx]

12. That is certainly possible. n/t

[TomSlick]

11. A problem deferred is a problem solved.

If there is something you don't want to do, delay it until the request is forgotten.

[Totally Tunsie]

15. No reason for Puty to visit Washington now.

Dotard's photo op just got shoved into 2019.

Let's hope this is the first of many "postponements" by the Pentagon. With any luck, they can push this ridiculous parade off until it's just a fond dream of the long-gone dotard.

[a kennedy]

16. Ya beat me to it........but yeeehaaaaa.......

Moments ago we got the news: Donald Trump's military parade has been canceled.

We'll learn more in the coming days about what the final straw was, but we know this: our pressure worked. We pushed tens of thousands of petitions, calls and letters to Congress from veterans and military families urging them to stop this international embarrassment.

And they felt your pressure. We stopped it! We did it! What a collective effort!

[Hekate]

17. Stall, Pentagon, stall! You know this is a dangerous project in every way. nt

[Kaleva]

19. They could save money by using retired Macy's Parade ballons & floats

http://macysthanksgiving.wikia.com/wiki/Balloons_and_Floats_that_are_Retired_and_now_at_Macy%27s_Parade_Studios

[Frustratedlady]

31. Maybe the UK would let them borrow the baby Trump balloon.

If it isn't on loan to some foreign country, that is.

After all, he craves attention.

[spanone]

20. you should explore opportunities in never-never-land

[lunasun]

21. If they have any ...

Another fail

[stonecutter357]

22. LOCK HIM UP!

[lunasun]

26. Be Best and put it over there next to The Wall in that corner

[Blue_true]

27. My guess is the latest and mushrooming cost estimate made republicans shit.

The last thing republicans want is a $92m+ Parade being put on four days after voters go to the polls, with news feeds for the prior month plus being filled with how much the parade will cost. I am sure that Lying Ryan and Hurdle Turtle came pleading to the Orange Asshole after they saw the latest cost estimate.

[irisblue]

43. Plus what amount of that cost would come from DC, the metro area

It could not be a small amount.

[Doodley]

28. Sad to rain on Trump's parade!

[Norbert]

33. Predicting more security clearances revoked.

After all, they must be more of a risk then Jared.

[SCantiGOP]

34. I hope the parade happens in 2019 and is huge............

as long as Trump is watching it from a prison cell.

[Takket]

35. translation..........

The military, which wants NOTHING to do with this clown show, is pushing it off in the hopes that the new congress will put an end to this absurdity.

[dalton99a]

36. +1. Hopefully Democrats will hold hearings on his parade bullshit if he tries to revive it

[George II]

37. Putting it off until after Democrats take over the House and cancel it altogether.

[PatrickforO]

39. Hmm. Perhaps they should wait until November 2023 and commemorate the

Beer Hall Putsch.

[lindysalsagal]

40. If they liked 45, they'd have the effing parade

This is a no confidence vote.

[Grammy23]

41. No guarantees this colossal waste of money and time will ever take place.

They only say they are “exploring options” in 2019. Hoping that none are found. tRumpolini will be far too busy fighting off various legal proceedings against him to worry about his parade anyway.

[RhodeIslandOne]

42. Aaaaaahahahahahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaa

Maybe they can have a fucking march in the prison yard.

[Buns_of_Fire]

44. Okay, Fatass, you can have a parade...

But only if this is proudly flown at the very head of it.

[Achilleaze]

45. Tuff nuts for the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief
