That would be hilarious if someone ran out in front of one. Or are they stationary?

Think they're parked, concerns about tearing up the pavement on the roads.

SWAT raid for an unpaid gas bill, well a crooked cop didn't help either.

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.

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. 

HA! good Fun!

thanks for bringing back to where we started... 'cause "crushed" by tank is hilarious.

no tanks, but hijinks nevertheless

Trump appears to contradict officials, says census citizenship question not abandoned

this administration is like a 24/7 episode o' benny hill.

HA! Good Fun!

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. 

But is sucks for the luckless  service members who catch this little s--t detail: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/104780-political-thread-xx/?do=findComment&comment=2087668

... 

am genuine not certain which would be the more laughable alternative. 

as to previous administrations and tanks, am not one o' the guys who suggested such were unprecedented. such is gauche and indeed tacky, but as you say, not unprecedented. delivering a campaign speech on the fourth? maybe need go back to nixon, though other Presidents have had brief 4th o' july photo ops which typical also drew criticism. 

oh, and as you is likely aware, take an opportunity to throw a few jabs at jfk is not gonna bother us none. am always baffled by jfk revisionist history. 

insofar as the umbrellas, am thinking they were taken up as a defense 'gainst pepper spray rather than acid rain. honest, am not recalling exact why umbrellas were the adopted symbol. regardless, is so difficult to guess if acid rain or pepper spray explanation would be more amusing to gifted. neither is exact on par with "crushed" by tank, but am genuine not sure where the humor in such imagery is, so is tough to predict future laughs.

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.

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.

Rep Justin Amash has left the Republican Party: https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/04/politics/justin-amash-leaving-gop/index.html

 

Can't blame him. I did the same thing myself. Or, more accurately, it left us.

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.
