After two hours, the event reached its logical conclusion: political speeches. J.D. Vance briefly went first. “June 14 is of course the birthday of the Army,” Vance said. “It is, of course, the birthday of the president of the United States. And Happy Birthday, Mr. President.” He delivered the laugh line of the night. “It’s also my wedding anniversary,” he said before immediately leaving the stage.

DJ PopeKillah got the parade for free!

It’s a parade for a grifter, they went the extra mile and grifted the parade spending too.

It looks like toy tanks and plastic army men marching.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago

marching.

Apparently 'marching' was a stretch. It was closer to walking, maybe on purpose.

Gross as in big (failure) and gross as in disgusting.

Welcome to the United States Army and have a great life,” Trump said after they recited the Oath of Enlistment.

Trump, after they did all the "unimportant constitution" parts: "I thought we edited that out"
