    I would love the idea of a parade in a funny joking kind of way.

    He currently out-ranks a 5 star general as the Commander-in-Chief, the highest possible rank.

    He is starting to look like a chubby version of the creepy old dude in Poltergeist 2.

    Dunno. Gaddafi ran Libya for 40 years and never got promoted above Colonel.

    I cannot confirm this, but many people are saying that Trump is also requesting an extra plastic battleship to play with in his bathtub.

    Trump is a 5-year old toddler. Of course he wants a parade.

    The parade will just be an election stunt for 2018, probably will be scheduled right before Election Day. Trump will go on and on about our beautiful military and how the liberals hate America.

    To this end, would it make sense for Democrats to embrace and share credit on this idea?

    Do people not remember that this is the second time he floated the military parade idea?

    He was shut down just as quickly the first time, so I guess I can't blame anyone if they missed it.

    This seems to be something that he really fantasizes about. This isn't just some random mood hitting him. I bet this isn't the last time he tries to float this idea. In a year or two he'll give it another go with equally unfavorable results.

    Mother allows Mikey only one so it makes sense he gets two.

    People gather to see these type of things, so let's not pretend we aren't in awe of the tech, but you don't need to bring it out to the masses for 20M, we have the tech to visit it virtually.

    And here's a trick I'll pass on to the masses. Get the late movie tickets at the National Air and Space Museum, and when you come out of the theater you are in the museum all by yourself because it is has already closed to the public. Great photo opp. I watched Star Wars Rogue One, and what a great feeling to walk into an empty air and space museum at 10pm at night and walk around the space shiot after a great flic.

    I watched the second episode of X-files season one yesterday. Something Dana said resonated with me, "Government is not above law" / then they went on to search for planes with ufo technology. 2 tremendous agents unlike crooked ones NOW. I want invisible air crafts at MY president's parade.

    Having been a part of a few myself, I say hell no.

    It always sucks to have to do all the rehearsals involved. Transportation is also a nightmare
