    I’m sure it may also be due to a lack of anyone joining and the huge protests on horizon. I wonder how pissed the military would be if he does cancel.

      The No Kings protest map is pretty blackened out with dots, they must have told him. Republicans aren’t showing either. It will be a sad, sad North Korean parade in the rain.

        Every military parade is a sad display of nonsense, the fact that anyone would think it’s a good idea is like thinking hitler had some innovative ideas about facial hair. dumb.

          I’m pissed he ruined the Charlie Chaplin mustache, because that’s the only place mine actually grows in. I’m forever doomed to shave my upper lip because of him.

            I’m pretty sure Chaplin was pissed about it too.

              They were also born within a week of eachother. Hitler was a huge Chaplin fan, hence the mustache if I recall correctly.

                Absolutely incredible (and hilarious) film.

                It also came out in 1940, which, given how cutting the satire was, is pretty fucking ballsy.

            That style became popular because you could wear a gas mask with it and it wouldn’t leak.

          Honestly, the mustache is one of the least awful things about him and shouldn’t have caught on as a nazi thing.

          But I don’t grow facial hair anyway and personally think neat mustaches look dumb on everyone except tom Lennon, so I don’t really know why I’m standing on a soapbox about it.

        Where do you see that red Republicans aren’t showing up?

        Maga is a cult now. You have a source?

          I think he means the majority of R senators who said they’re busy that day.

          Of course, you can’t trust a single word from the mouths of snakes.

        Precious few units will be given leave if it’s canceled. They’ll find something stupid for them to do.
