Trump Wants A Military Parade

"...Because reasons."

Independence Day.

The movie that summarizes not only America but the world as we know it now:

  • Skies igniting
  • Terror racing through major cities
  • Destruction of the Fourth of July Weekend
  • A need for Congress to stop the destruction

Sound familiar? It should. On that sacred day, the man in charge of the destruction wants to plan this:


President Trump, the man who embodies the same mental abilities as an alien in a movie; obvious difference is a lack of KFC, was in awe of the French Bastille Day during a summer visit to France, He made this point known to French President Emmanuel Macron during the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Monday. During the visit, Trump had adopted plans to makeover America’s Independence Day into a parade revealing America’s military strength because reasons.

Uh, Trump, you might want to step away from the bucket of extra crispy, and see two possible reasons that idea will not go over well:

  • We already show our impressive military strength without a parade. Ask 1950-60’s Japan and Korea. Ask late 1960’s Vietnam. Ask Iraq and Afghanistan 2001- today.
  • It shows that we are just like Kim-Jong Un and his Kim-Jong Ilk.

Besides, we all know that this is what he has long desired since he took office. According to The New York Times, “His inaugural committee reportedly explored, but rejected, the idea of having military equipment in his inaugural parade,” and it may start “as early as next year.”

But there lacks a plan of the logistics of this parade, and who will pay for it? What are the plans, Donald?

What is it with this guy wanting parades and saying the same things over and over again? Is this a presidency, or a lead in to a “My Super Sweet 16” remake?

Now, much like every parent towards a child with unrealistic desires, the comments prompted laughter from Macron and other officials sitting around them.

According to the Washington Post, Trump said in a January interview that “Being a great president has to do with a lot of things, but one of them is being a great cheerleader for this country.”

Let’s break that down into two simple, digestible parts:

  • “Being a great president has to do with a lot of things.”

Right then and there, somebody should have been there to present Trump with a pop-quiz on what the responsibilities of being president entail. Do not let him off the hook that easily.

And:

  • “One of them is to be a great cheerleader for this country.”

Hey, dummy. We already had a cheerleader in office. He was the last Republican in office before you came in!

I’d gladly take a third term of THAT cheerleader over one MINUTE of THIS cheerleader.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
