80 million more than the initial estimate of 12. What a waste of money. The last major military parade the US did cost 9 million.

It was reported that sources say it will cost 2.5 Billion.
No wall yet, all we get a parade to jack off his ego. What a faggot.
>80 million more than the initial estimate of 12. What a waste of money. The last major military parade the US did cost 9 million.
So this parade has ten times the hardware and troops waltzing through the streets then, right?
Which raises the question why we're having this parade to begin with. Seriously, just why? Imagine what else the military could have used this money for.
This, fuck Drumpf.
Military parades are for fascist dictatorships.
More sensitivity training?
But are the sources anonymous, who are close to the thinking of the military's associate, who is also close to his brother's grandmother's thinking?
Medical care for wounded personnel maybe? Something actually useful.
This. Plus more toilets for women and other genders.
Better than giving lashanda anything for birthing another fucking criminal
FUCK TRUMP
Could have gone to a wall.
While trump is a kike, in the time it took me two write this post, we already created another couple million in debt.
The wall was just a front for him to get in and make him and his friends richer. But your dumb ass is still waiting in it. You're the problem
Why would the wall come from the military budget?
I am pretty sure using military funding for the wall is illegal. I would rather waste military money on a parade rather than give it to some democratic head choppers
I thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall? I remember when that was a thing.
National defense
We can easily have mexico pay for the wall through remittances. Why the trump administration is not pursuing this avenue is beyond me
Is this additional cost, on top of the current military budget that would have been paid to those members participating in the parade regardless of what they did that day, or are they just saying that this money is additional for the parade? And if so, why does the parade cost extra? Just have the members of the military do it as part of their ordinary duties at their normal pay rate.
lmao the VA budget is separate from the .nil budget retard
This shit is old news but it's surprising that there was no backdown from the first terrible plan.
>Why the trump administration is not pursuing this avenue is beyond me
Too busy succing BIG ISRAELI COCK
Well, it's either because "The Wall" was a big scam or a suspiciously convenient level of incompetence.

The military didn't have to spend that 92 million to begin with. Trump could have used that money for other things.
Remember that big push for infrastructure that never actually happened, because the finances due to the tax cut didn't add up?
>November 10th
Wow. What a significant milestone anniversary. Not like November 11th, that will just be the hundredth anniversary of some silly little skirmish. But November 10th, gee willikers! What an important date that is!
>Qfaggot
kill yourself
>The military didn't have to spend that 92 million to begin with.
I doubt that's true. As I suggested in , I wouldn't put it past (((journalists))) to mislead the public by just citing the fraction of the military budget already allocated to be during spent that day on those people involved in the parade. The 2018 military budget was close to $700 billion, after all.
Eh, Trump talks a big game about supporting israel but does not really follow through
Although I like trump he is a dumb boomer sometimes. It would not suprise me if people around him are trying to stop him from doing things. Letting in hispanics to replace whites is big money
Dude he doesn't fucking so anything. First it's tax cuts that didn't do anything but throw a bunch of money at businesses. Then it's blowing 20b on a fucking wall instead of using 20b on rebuilding bridges and shit. Where the fuck is my tax cut?
>Eh, Trump talks a big game about supporting israel but does not really follow through
He doesn't have to. He's not president of fucking Israel.
Honestly if I was in Trump's shoes, I'd target so-called "private debt" which is a drag on consumer spending and has been a significant (but criminally under-noticed) factor in recessions.
Might as well ask why your wages are still stagnant in a supposedly good economy.
Imo if I was pres, no one under 100k would pay income tax. The amount that everyone pays who makes under 100k is insignificant to the amount that gigantic corporations pay. Removing them from the tax system wouldn't hurt the budget a bit
Could have put that into 90% of one F-35.
Like an f35 without the wheels
"The Wall" was just a persuasion trick to give visual imagery to Trump's proposal for increased border patrols. It was never going to be real, and people who thought it would are mindless drones.
You faggots should've voted for Hillary. We fucking warned you.
>but muh guns!
Yeah, because guns are worth selling out the US to Putin.
I will take putin and military parades over antifa and tranny parades
Muh treason.
Traitors to the republic should be shot.
>Imagine what else the military could have used this money for.
Five minutes of what they do on a typical day?
Yes Democrats should be shot
>"Democrats will take away our guns so the government can oppress us! Quick, betray the nation to a ruthless overseas strongman! That totally makes sense!"
Seriously, what's the point of being well-armed if you'll happily sell out to Putin?
>Trump could have used that money for other things.
No he can’t. Do you know how funding and budgeting actually works?
>hillary choosing 2 supreme court justices
Nope. I don't like trump but fuck Hillary getting 2 justices. Hell fucking no.
OP:
>NINETY TWO million dollars for a military parade
article headline:
>Trump military parade expected to cost $80 million more than estimated
article body:
>according to a U.S. defense official with firsthand knowledge of the assessment. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity.
So OP got paid to post this, right? Remember to use unv.is or archive.is when you read clickbait.
>Muh pootin
judging from the supportive posts, I'm betting a low IQ raid.
>$92 Million to show off our might
Better be fucking streamed and broadcasted in 4K 120fps. Gonna be fucking nice to watch.
>anonymous source
>8 Abrams despite no tanks
Seems legit.
>low IQ raid
I guess.
US military budget for 2016 was $1.6 billion per day. Even if this did cost $92 million, that would be about an hour and half worth of military spending, to have one event in a year that shows off the military to the public.
To be honest, I wouldn't be shocked if the parade indeed turned on to be much higher in cost than originally projected. That seems to be true of a lot of military things. They say they'll be cheap, then slap a ton of additional numbers to the final cost.
>he still shills the russia meme
lmao, go back to pol, shill.
Fucking this. It's like the libs going "THIS IS 12x THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT WOULD TAKE TO MAKE PUBLIC COLLEGE FREE", without realizing he can't just move money around wherever the fuck he pleases.
>tax cuts that didn't do anything
Stop sole sourcing your news from CNN.
Oh boy, it’s time for the monthly raid.
Uh, I'm a Democrat and I think making college free is stupid. They should focusing on helping college graduates get something called an actual job, so they can pay off their student debt.
Seriously, making college free makes financially as much sense as having a trade war while planning a massive increase in your infrastructure spending while cutting taxes and then expecting money to not eventually get tight.
Be gone, shill.
Yeah, fuck getting two justices that would uphold civil and abortion rights!
Keep ignoring the evidence in front of your face. It will be Mueller Time soon enough.
College should be free. Having a college degree is pretty much mandatory in today's service economy.
Who is he shilling for? Common sense? Responsible fiscal planning?
>get an actual job
Which ironically wouldn't happen with free college either, that's what they don't get. Many people get the degrees they do so they can get a job, start a career and, like you said, pay off debt. They choose something that will make their effort worth their time. But with free college people are gonna take up whatever they'd like and take the country on a one way track to Denmark, which has an alarming number of college grads majoring in liberal arts then contributing NOTHING back to society.
>Broken English and/or grammatical issues
We don’t need a wall to send you home pedro
Hilldawg and the DNC.
If you think thats retarded look up the 3rd infantry regiment
>part of the military’s budget can somehow go towards border security
Smallest brain
This really is why America needs more job training programs. Teach people the actual skills they need to survive the workplace.
Please tell me you don't think free college is a good idea.
>Please tell me you don't think free college is a good idea.
How else are people supposed to pay for a major in leftist agitation?
>Please tell me you don't think free college is a good idea.
Because it's not free.
Good shill posting. Are we being raded? Where did all these shitlibs come from? Fuck I'm out.
There's nothing wrong with gun control.
Why does the government waste money on stupid shit like this it could've gone to our infrastructure or public schools but noooooooo let's spend NINETY MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS to have some ZOGbots march down a fucking street
Being against reckless spending doesn't make you a shitlib
>this thread
moving the goal post. Standard Trumplett tactic.
>muh abortion and civil rights
you're not making the compelling argument you think you are.
I just pointed out that the wall was never going to happen and that people who believed it are fools, and I'm a "Trumplett"?
Well okay. We're both Democrats and Progressives, so I'll forgive you.
RINOs too
Everyone in this thread who's opposing the parade is a shareblue shill. No true Jow Forumsommando would ever oppose theatrical military dickwaving.
How did you not get a tax cut? I made about $22,000 last year (which was more than the year before), but paid about $300 less in tax than the year before.
All Republicans and gun owners should be deported to Africa. Let them enjoy their gun rights there.
>All Republicans and gun owners should be deported to Africa. Let them enjoy their gun rights there.
These people would form a polity thats..
-Largest or second to largest in terms of population in all of africa, depending on the exacts
-Best armed
-Best trained
-Best educated
-Wealthiest
-Most military experience
This exercise might not turn out the way you envisioned when you made the joke
Am I the only one who thinks the parade is a good idea just for the fact that it'll be on the 100th anniversary of WW1's end?
>implying they're not
Guns put the power into the hands of the people. That cannot be outweighed.
>gun owners
I think you're on the wrong board buddy
>-Largest or second to largest in terms of population in all of africa, depending on the exacts
L-oh fucking-L. Gun owners are overwhelmingly white, and white people don't produce enough children.
-Best armed
Beaten by Africans with military-grade equipment.
-Best trained
Most gun owners are not sufficiently trained.
-Best educated
Gun owners are overwhelming poor and uneducated hillbillies.
-Wealthiest
See above.
-Most military experience
Well that's true. Dumb rednecks from the South make up a large portion of enlisted.
Power that cannot stand up to a modern military.
>white people don't produce enough children
this can change very quickly
>Beaten by Africans with military-grade equipment.
hahahahahah
>Gun owners are overwhelming poor and uneducated hillbillies.
..and they're being compared to literal(haha!) africans
>See above.
see above
Fucking this. If nothing else he stopped that corrupt hag from rising to power and derailed the complete democrat overhaul for at least a few more years. A clinton SCOTUS would have said fuck the Heller Act to allow cali style federal gun bans and then some
