Topic	Anybody else feel like the DC 4th of July event seems like a huge RNC rally?

Kyuubi4269 posted... More extravagance at an extravagant event is par for course. It's not out of place, but that doesn't make it any less wasteful, especially considering there's no shortage of higher-priority targets for government spending when measured by literally any metric that isn't the current president's narcissistic compulsions. If the US government had a surplus and nothing functional to spend it on? Sure, throw a bigger party and have some fun with it. But having fun with taxes that were collected under the pretense of bettering the country is borderline fraudulent. If he does something else, it will be divisive as republicans and liberals basically agree on nothing when it comes to policy. This is an event that will put people on the fence more at ease due to being universal and the main people upset by it are the people who wouldn't vote for him anyway. BlackScythe0 posted... What the hell are you talking about? Gains public support? This is a dictators adulation, this isn't American. We are wasting a massive amount of money and Trump is giving out tickets to republican donors. Make firework show more firework-y, give viewers more than was anticipated, much pleasant. It's inherently not an oligarchy when at least half of the electoral college and Russia established and influence his power. If you want to attack him, do it on valid grounds, there's plenty to go on. Trump brings trump resources to the people, in return gets to fellate his backers for some support. Sounds like political schmoozing 101 to me. MacrossSpecial posted... Things the military could use this money on: cyber systems hardening, retention of critical members leaving the military, getting feces out of the tap water on bases, fixing crumbling buildings to include living facilities... Just a few that come to mind. The problem with that is those policies aren't very visible (or are just the jurisdiction of the state/region). Nobody fixes the roads because it doesn't get a news broadcast and potentially people will complain about roadworks causing jams. When you find a way to fix these problems that advertises the acting party positively more so than everything else, you'll start getting them fixed. --- Doctor Foxx posted...
