Sounds like a great excuse to declare martial law and suspend the constitution.

Probably start at this "parade". Just leave the military out there and call it "protection from the liberal terrorists"

You get a parade! And you get a parade! Everyone gets a paraaade!

Such a stupid timeline. We're burning it all down to feed the ego of a guy who can't be convinced his fake tan looks like it was mixed from a prison toilet.

I suspect the parade was a pretext to shore up defenses around the capital.

His creepy shit is old news. Even if documents clearly confirmed it, it wouldn't move the needle.

Republicans love grooming and pedophilia. They've long advocated youth indoctrination and child marriage. Their only consistent virtue is winning and being the oppressors.

I wouldn't call those virtues. Those are values or principles they have, but they don't reflect high moral standards.
