Gfted1 Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Pics and Ill let you know. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Gromnir Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 gotta be careful as am knowing how delicate is gifted. regardless, tank guy were one o' the more iconic photos/images o' the second half o' the 20th century. am genuine surprised gifted didn't recognize what were happening in the photo. important thing is you learned something. congrats.

Gfted1 Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Methinks your brain is addled even more than normal. Everyone knows that picture, I was talking about our tanks on parade. But your too busy being an internet tard to understand that, like the posted above you successfully did. Anywho, ghetto rock throwers would be hilarious if it looked like this: To be serious for a moment, did you have a stoke back in 17'? I don't want to bash you if you cant help it. Honestly. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

Honestly. coming from guy we needed spend multiple pages explaining the difference 'tween temp change and rate of temp change, is an odd observation. err on side o' gifted ignorance is the conservative play. nevertheless, considering how by now the only way a person wouldn't know trumps tanks would be stationary is if they were willfully avoiding reading articles which referenced those tanks, we cannot wonder if you might wanna look in the mirror for a person needing a neurological consult. and see, you really did learn something.

Guard Dog Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 So there seems to be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth over the "unprecedented" parade of military assets in DC. It's anything but unprecedented. Eisenhower, JFK, Clinton and everyone between Wilson & Hoover did it. Heck in JFK's inauguration parade the towed and honest to God ICBM in the procession. So it is certainly tacky it's hardly unprecedented.

HA! Good Fun! ps am honest not recalling eisenhower or jfk doing 4th o' july military parades. you got a link, or were such inaugurations or other events? am s'posing we could google, but am lazy.

Gfted1 Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Much like a work, there are posters you have to work around too! "Crushed" seems to cause angst so we can go with smeared or pasted if that soothes whatever is illing you.

Gromnir Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) (edited out pointless. clear ain't making headway) back on-topic, joaquin castro and laura ingraham had a difference o' opinion. is conflicting reports as to actual language used by castro to describe ingraham.

In JFK's case it was his inauguration rather than July 4th. I don't recall any celebrations out of the ordinary for Independence day during his term. During the Bicentennial in Ford's term there was supposed to be but he cancelled that part of it himself IIRC. People were sick of war after ten yeas in Vietnam. They wouldn't do anything like that again until 1993 or 1994 (I think the latter) when Clinton asked for flyovers during the celebrations on the mall. I DO remember him being criticized by Republicans for doing it. Please, contain your irony! During Eisenhower's term in 1955 there was a big celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the end of WW2 which included a "military parade" but that was not the 4th either. During the second term of FDR there was a silly little holiday called Army Day that included parades. I think it was to commemorate our entry into WWI. The date was the same, April 6th. Not sure his reasoning. I'm going from memory here. Truman scuttled that. Army Day is not to be confused with Armed Forces Day which it little more than open houses an shows on military bases. Oh, and an opportunity to sell cars because it's one of those days you forget about until the local Toyota dealer takes out a full page ad in the paper.

Gorth Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 I always wondered if Trump suffers from some kind of small **** complex, envying people like Kim, Xi, Putin etc. for the power they wield over their subjects. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
