  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm hoping, instead of going for symbolism, there is one spot where they have a bunch of people in wheelchairs pulling a howitzer.....or maybe some elderly people can PROPERLY march (no lazy bs walking...) as well.

hmm....although that may be a DEI hire so I doubt they'd do that...

Did he though?
I'm sure he did, if he had syphilis he would be making irrational decisions, speaking in incoherent word salads, and be paranoid.

There are people out there that think he has untreated tertiary syphilis, but it is a rather ridiculous notion. (TDS indeed.)

I mean if we really want him to look the part and don’t care for his own discomfort I’m sure Party City can help us get him something a little more regal for his big day.

Something more like this would be fitting:View attachment 363285
It seems like the has a history of worshiping some people and flags.

'm really angry. He's just been all over the middle east picking up bling, cash, and planes for his personal collection.

Why didn't he hit up Yemen, or Syria, or Saudi Arabia for this birthday party?

(I did hear that he reestablished relations with Syria because they gave him a hotel deal. How not to establish alliances and conduct diplomacy.}

Does the UK always roast politicians? I’m having flashbacks of when Margaret Thatcher died….
Yes it does. In the UK we do not have the reverence for our leaders that America seems to have.

And we are very creative in our lampoonery.

I remember Spitting Image back in the 80s, it was hysterical!

The protesters might outnumber the attendees, considering how many assembled at 1200 different locations across the country last Saturday. Of course then he'll say the protesters are protesting the Army.
They would have to have placards supporting the Army and opposing their Commander in Chief at the same time.
He's going to have to do better if he wants a good turnout of loyal supporters. No fancy uniforms, no armbands, all we've got is a stupid-looking red hat.

Tanks and other equipment were being loaded on to train cars in Texas this week for the trip to DC.

Army officials said the parade is designed to tell the history of the Army, starting with troops wearing Revolutionary War garb. As the parade enters the World War II era, troops will march alongside period jeeps and an M4 Sherman tank while a B-25 Mitchell bomber aircraft, Douglas C-47 Skytrain transport plane and four North American P-51 Mustang fighter-bombers buzz overhead. More recent conflicts will be represented with Army UH-1 Huey, AH-1 Cobra, AH-64 Apache and CH-47 Chinook helicopters.

Also included in the parade are 28 M1 Abrams tanks, 28 Stryker vehicles and six Paladin self-propelled howitzers.


....and one dog named "Doc Holliday", US Army 1st Calvary Div.

Will they be re-enacting the storming and capture of enemy airfields?

I’m wondering who volunteered to play the Germans in the WW2 scene.

I’m sure Zelensky will love to see all that useful equipment just parading down Pennsylvania Ave.
