Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

Where would it come from and why would it be any use? It doesn't have immediate effects and isn't even a gas.

Maybe just maybe one of those tanks will turn and fire. We’d lose the building but win the war.

The Republicans only care about the debt and deficit when opposing social welfare programs and their political opponents.
Hell, newsflash to Republican supporting veterans and military! Historically Democrats create and fund programs for you. The GOP? Cut, slash, and stab in the back!

The United States makes $12.5 trillion dollars in taxes every year and is the wealthiest country on the planet.

If the world's wealthiest country can't afford it, then what country can? Because clearly they are affording it anyway.

Also remember it's not their money, it's the American taxpayers'. The tanks, parade and tear gas were bought with their money.

Trump wants US citizens living in fear, uncertainty and doubt, as any dictator or strongman would. Textbook stuff.

Mussolini would be exclaiming "hurrah!" about now.

This post contains misinformation. On June 14, the Army will host a public celebration in DC featuring a large-scale Army Birthday Festival on the National Mall, a Grand Military Parade along Constitution Avenue, and a fireworks display to conclude the day.

They spoke of Civil War if the Democrats won the White House.
What they didn't expect is that MAGoits will be there for the little guy.

And golf
And to fly Elon around (before the split up)
And to fund a genocide.
Told us we couldn’t afford something and then turned around and spent more to help a genocide

We also sent Ukraine our old about to be decommissioned stuff but sent the fascist in the Middle East the best stuff.

They can afford weekend and holiday overtime for all of ICE but can't afford scientists, cancer research, nurses, park rangers, the entire DHS Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, USAID and the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences.

I think the GQP just doesn't care if you're fed, or safe, or alive.

It's nothing to them -- I mean, THEY'RE fine, and that's all that matters, right?

And if they're *not* fine, it comforts them to know that you're worse off.

If they were decent people, they wouldn't be MAGAts.

I mean at this point… everyone knows those tanks are never going to move on that fascist parade route, right?

There’s going to be a massive amount of humanity eagerly blocking them

Meaning it will all be an absolute waste of money, always was going to be

Actually, 50501 declined to protest the military parade.
But at least you can get free tickets and not show up:

What if we cut back on Congressional Salaries? Maybe just get rid of them all together if their net worth is over $5 million. I mean what's $180 a year to a millionaire. Means testing I think is what they call it when they do it to poor people.

Yaman was born to the sound of bombs instead of lullabies.
A child who has known nothing but cold and hunger—he needs only milk and diapers.
