Shitler’s Tiny Peen Birthday Parade Was A Joke

[Cristiano]

While millions took to the streets in over 2000 No Kings events in the US and more than 50 cities around the world, Trump’s North Korean style birthday parade was a huge flop. We can revel in knowing that for a malignant narcissist like Trump, this caused him genuine anguish, embarrassment and pain.

I guess the group of soldiers were told about the danger of resonances on bridges when walking in unison. So they decided to showcase the america invented new walk style ;-) (/sarcasm)

Coincidentally, Charles had his birthday parade yesterday, too

Maybe Charles can show Trump the videos during the forthcoming visit.

Seems there's similar tastes on both sides of the Atlantic.

My problem with our republicans is that they never seem to have thought things through properly. While I'd greatly prefer to have an elected ceremonial head of state, as they do in Germany and Ireland, I'm worried about that happens when politicians start trying to draft a new constitution and try to decide what should happen to all the prerogative powers; that is, powers held by the monarch but exercised on the advice of his ministers. During Boris Johnson's somewhat chaotic attempts to force Brexit through without a deal, the courts were able to stymie Johnson's attempts to circumvent parliament by seeking a judicial review of the advice he was giving to the Queen to suspend parliament while he did what he wanted.

My big worry is that, when drafting a republican constitution, the executive would find it impossible to resist the temptation to give at least some of these powers to the prime minister rather than the president. And, if it didn't, we've have spent a great deal of time and political energy on changing the way the head of state is selected but keeping everything else the same, when not many people want to change the existing system.

Charles is over there like, "They said they want to celebrate No Kings day on his birthday, why are the Americans revolting from me again, we settled this 224 years ago. "

Or they are expressing their extreme disapproval of the entire event in the only way they can?

ETA:
$45 million is a high price-tag for humiliating Trump, but at this stage of the fascist coup, I'll take it.

I'm really amazed at the number of people who look at that "parade" of ambling soldiers and think it's just bumbling incompetence. From the choice of music to the absence of marching in unison, it is a chef's kiss example of malicious compliance. It is the military saying FU to Trump and Hegseth. It is the military saying "WE DON'T DO THIS IN THE UNITED STATES!".

Yeah, I would really love to see an unbias poll of what most soldiers really think about this. On one hand, we know the military skews conservative, but on the other hand, many of them have direct knowledge of how much of a buffoon he is and he's shat on the military on a number of occasions. And I'm sure most soldiers know why parades like this are so abnormal in US history.

Sadly, I bet most people who'd try to collect such information have an ax to grind. I'm also sure most soldiers wouldn't want to speak up.

This picture brings me joy

I wonder if they're funded by the same guys these losers are. American funded 'grass roots' astroturfing.

I guess a good starting for such a constitution and possible checks and balances, fool proof mechanisms and such is indeed the current German constitution, because it was build with the risk in mind that after WWII and few years later a new right wing nut might come into action, trying to overtake the state just like happened with the Weimar Republic.

Then again every consitution is only worth something if enough of your people are supporting it.

As one consequence of Weimar, the German head of state has very little powers actually. He's not part of the daily politics, nor has he the power to propose laws or set policies. He's mostly representing, appointing and dismissing the chancellor or ministers, as decided by the parliament, and doing the same for federal judgets elected by parliament.

One of his few powers is that federal laws have to be signed by him to become effective. He can refuse to do so in case he thinks a law is against the constitution.

There are some powers for crisis and war as well, but that's it. So he's meant to be have little direct political power, he should stay above daily politics and can act instead as some type of national conscience. Some presidents did this better than others.

However the president is not elected directly by the people, but an own consitutional body instead, the Bundesversammlung, something similiar to the electoral college. Members are all members of the federal government, and then every federal state can send politiicians and name some normal people as well.

This is one of the gripes many people do have with the head of state, the way he's getting elected. This means it's mostly parties playing their own little games with not much intervention by the people.

The way you describe the German head of state, it honestly does not sound much different from how the US President is supposed to function.

It's our massively partisan nonsense that has the President acting more and more, because of corruption or because Congress refuses to actually do anything.

This. The US Constitution is actually a very solid, well thought-out document. Its only real flaw is that it doesn't consider what to do when the President seizes all power with the other two branches of government's blessing. There's just no way our forefathers could have anticipated that.

 

[Jopsy Pendragon]

How much did that shit show cost American tax payers?

Clearly the money found its way into some select corrupt pockets, as was probably the original intent.

On the plus side, maybe this will finally be enough to end hegseth's DUI hire status.

Yes. The Constitution has many flaws, but was honestly a big advancement for it's time. I'm sure that if the authors could have seen what happened in Nazi Germany or now, they'd have maybe added a few clauses about limiting executive power though.

I think most of the founders also didn't really anticipate we'd become so divided into 2 big factions.

Or that media/communications would be so omnipresent, instantaneous and 'algorithmized' by a few very motivated and obscenely wealthy individuals.

I'm sure they were aware of lies and propaganda, but lacked the vision to see how it could be so effectively weaponized on a national level for the direct benefit of the most wealthy.

It's cool, Elon Musk fired a bunch of random people and deleted a bunch of data and agencies, so it didn't cost us anything, just a bunch of other people's jobs.

Musk has probably monetized that data so much by now that I'm convinced he could have paid for that parade several times over.
