fecking hell. It's like the flaps on a plane being deployed.
 
Apparently everyone in the military is against the idea of a parade for numerous reasons. Stupidity, logistical nightmare, damaging to the streets, the cost and also some Generals have said the idea is to keep the enemy guessing and although lots of top secret stuff won't be on display, lots of other things will be. Also many are saying (rightly so) that the money would be far better spent elsewhere.

Typical Trump though. Insanity just for the purpose of stroking his ego and giving himself an erection in front of the entire world.

In other news. Trump again lies his arse off.... He took a swipe at John again the other day over his rejected alternative proposal to prevent the government shutdown.

 
There's something quite ironic that a known draft dodger, aka Cadet Bone Spurs, wants to have a bigly gigantic military parade.

It's a circus. A twisted and demented circus made entirely of clowns and the head clown some mad narcissist with the keys to the toy shop. It needs stopping for the world's sake.
 
The military parade is some banana republic shit. That's what Kim Jong-Un does whenever he feels small time.
 
It needs a kazoo soundtrack.
 
So I googled to see what made those texts into 'bombshells'. But then thanks to the clickbait set-up of the NYPost I ended up reading about Quincy Jones instead.

I completely missed the fact that he used to date Ivanka, but then again I can't say I'm surprised because everyone in Hollywood seems to have dated with each other...

“I used to date Ivanka, you know,” the 84-year-old music mogul told Vulture of the 2006 coupling. Tommy Hilfiger, who was working with my daughter Kidada, said, ‘Ivanka wants to have dinner with you.’ I said, ‘No problem. She’s a fine motherf–ker.’ She had the most beautiful legs I ever saw in my life. Wrong father, though, Jones explained.

While Jones’ personal life is currently focused on his 22 girlfriends, the Grammy winner also revealed he used to pal around with Donald Trump. I used to hang out with him,” Jones said. “He’s a crazy motherf–ker. Limited mentally — a megalomaniac, narcissistic. I can’t stand him.”

Ivanka and a 70 year old Quincy Jones, that's just wrong on so many different levels :lol:
 
Trump Evangelical Advisor: No Need for Flu Shots When You Can 'Inoculate Yourself With the Word of God'

'Gloria Copeland, a televangelist serving on Trump’s evangelical advisory board, has delivered a helpful message to those concerned by alarming reports that we are experiencing the worst flu season in nearly a decade. That message is: actually, there is no flu season, because Jesus went ahead and took care of that.

“Well, listen partners, we don’t have a flu season,” Copeland drawled in a video posted to the Kenneth Copeland Ministries Facebook page last week. “We’ve got a duck season, a deer season, but we don’t have a flu season. And don’t receive it when somebody threatens you with ‘Everybody’s getting the flu!’ We’ve already had our shot, he bore our sicknesses and carried our diseases.”

That being said, she quickly added, “If you’ve already got the flu, I’m gonna pray for you right now ... flu, I bind you off of the people in the name of Jesus. Jesus himself gave us the flu shot.”

Copeland’s husband, Right Wing Watch noted in its post on the video, founded the Texas megachurch that was the site of a measles outbreak in 2013 in which the majority of patients had not been inoculated. Gloria and Kenneth Copeland (who are both on Trump’s shadowy evangelical advisory board) and their daughter Terri Copeland Pearsons—the pastor of the megachurch in question, Eagle Mountain International Church—have all expressed anti-vaccine views.'

People will always find a way to migrate, unless you work on the causes of immigrations.

People emigrate for one main reason: A better life for themselves and their family. Yes there are the exceptions like those who do it for criminal reasons but the majority of people who choose to move from one country to another is simply because they realised that a better quality of life awaits wherever they go.

As an immigrant I concur. That just doesn't mean financially either. It could be for many different things that improve your life.
 
This guy is dating Hope Hicks, so you have to wonder if she put in a good word to get him hired.

 
One the one hand, I do get the outrage over the idea of a military parade, but a little part of me wonders... are Americans not aware of how thoroughly and patriotically jingoistic their society is already? From the daily recitals of the pledge of allegiance, to singing the national anthem at any little sporting event (and calling people traitors for not participating), to the constant adoration and involvement of the military.

This really doesn't seem that out of place.

Believe it or not many Americans are very aware and somewhat embarrassed.

I find this one particularly weird. I was curious and checked if it was obligatory in schools like I thought. Wikipedia says it's regularly scheduled in all but a few states, although students can't be compelled to do so in those that it is. I wonder how many students/families of the students object and, if so, what kind of problems that causes in a country that appears to love its flag so much.
