It's only money! Kim Jong Don orders a "Four Mile Military Parade for His 79th Birthday"

At times like these I'm extremely grateful that Elon Musk is "identifying and eliminating wasteful government spending!"

Trump is making plans for a military parade in Washington, D.C., on his 79th birthday, according to a report.

A source in the capital told the Washington City Paper that Trump has earmarked June 14—which is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army—for the event.

The display of military might will march around four miles from the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, to the White House, the D.C. source told the publication.

Trump previously pushed for a grand military parade in 2018 during his first term in the White House but was stymied by estimates the event would cost $92 million, according to the Associated Press.

This is happening all over the country. search "food banks" and "news"

Krasnov -- the five-time G.O.P. draft dodger -- is taking food from the hungry so he can make his "suckers and losers" kiss his ass in a stupid-ass parad.

I predict hundreds of "counter parades" in support of democracy -- and opposing G.O.P. fascism -- will be held around the nation.
