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.

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 95 points 11 months ago

They don't want to work on the weekend any more than you do.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 41 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 11 months ago

Its time to mop the road during a storm.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 73 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 35 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 15 points 11 months ago

He sure as shit was!

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

Where are the lasers to control the weather that Biden refused to use to save Florida?

"Cancelled" would be great! The ultimate Fuck You from whatever God(s) exist.

But, does anyone truly believe Little Donnie Mangolini will let it go that easily??? Something he's yearned for since Season 1??

Methinks "rescheduled" is a more likely outcome. 🤷‍♂️

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 39 points 11 months ago

Don't even think that. He'd expose people to lightning before cancelling

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

I don’t know. He refused to go to D-Day 50th anniversary memorial ceremony because it was raining and he didn’t want to get wet. I guess it wasn’t his ego on the line, then, and I’m sure the Secret Service is insisting on a covered viewing area, anyway, after the near-miss in Buttler, PA.

[-] NChiwana76@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Also held inauguration indoors due to bad weather.

Sure would be nice if the media would stop just repeating his bullshit at face value.

"celebrating 250 years of the U.S. military.." Fuck off. Trump doesn't give a shit about the military. He wants a show for himself on his birthday. They should make that perfectly clear each and every time instead of just repeating whatever inane bullshit hillbilly barbie says at the podium.

The fact that the military's birthday keeps getting called 'Trump's birthday' shows how far we are sliding into fascism.

[-] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 16 points 11 months ago

Coincidentally, it is both his birthday and the US army’s “birthday.” Both arrived on June 14th, one in 1775 and the other in 1946.

He's just afraid, guys. And chickening out, as usual. Pass the word

Trump Always Chickens Out Trump

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 45 points 11 months ago

First thought: I hope it gets canceled

Second thought: go ahead and do it, and let Trump wave a flag on top of the biggest float

TACO of his own parade

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 40 points 11 months ago

If he was nicer, the Democrats could use their weather machine to give him nice weather on his birthday, but he's been a big meanie lately, so it's rain for HitlerPig's birthday.

Perhaps he could order Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport the weather.

Didn't that already happen?

[-] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 36 points 11 months ago

Yeah right. Probably cancelling it because he doesn't want people to show up and ruin his dick-tator moment by protesting.

Then again Diaper Don doesn't like rain cleaning off his nasty orange makeup and getting in his rats nest.

So the message is our military can't perform in th3 rain. Is USPS the last great government force?

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

To be fair they stated they didn't want to have an audience out in lightning.

Whatever the case, calling off such festivities is what I'd like to happen anyway. His stupid birthday parade not happening would be a good outcome.

Hey, evangelicals, remember how when anything bad happened, it was because God was sad that we weren't murdering gay people? So does this mean that God hates Trump?

[-] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yes. Why do you think Pestilence was sent during the first term?

Bday parade??? This is exactly the type of ego bs that dictators do. Have a quiet night in with the family you never see you psycho

I'm in favor of sticking him out there and seeing if Zeus is ready to smite him yet.

[-] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

Nah. Hold it anyway. Maybe we'll get lucky and the clown prince will catch all his karma at once in the form of a lightning bolt.

God is angry. Trump fears being struck by lightning.

Maybe this is misguided, but in some ways I was looking forward to seeing whatever actions had been planned in DC that day. I guess we'll see what happens. Regardless, Asheville is coming out strong for a No Kings rally.

[-] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Can lightning disable a tank? I don't want the crews to get hurt but four or five M1 Abrams stuck in the middle of Constitution Ave would make for some fucking GREAT b-roll for the nightly news.
