Saw that, scary stuff. His ex said he used to keep a copy of Hitler's speeches by his bedside. I wish I could remember the article, but it pointed out that this book catalogued what divisive rhetoric was most effective in appealing to the masses. That's how he was able to tap into the ugly side of the electorate. Not saying this applies to all Trump voters because many of them were former Obama voters. Just shows who we're dealing with.

I suppose that is possible but most likely just more mass hysteria from the far left

As a child I used to like the military parades in Moskov with all this tanks, rockets, and soldiers marching and jets overhead.
It was comforting and had some holiday spirit in it.
Simple people will like it.
Trump is not right or left... he is Populist.
World is in turmoil and every nation is collapsing inwards.
So better have military parades that military drafts...

The return of the draft is unequivocally the best thing that can happen for America. Expedite the legalization of proud soon to be America law-abiding citizens. America will be as strong and united as ever.

Americans have forgotten those feelings and now take the military and their safety for granted. Especially millennials.

Right, the prospect of a president wanting to hold a military parade at his inauguration, the same kind used by countries like North Korea, the old Soviet Union, Nazi Germany,and Banana republics, doesn't bother you.

Doesn't bother you that it breaks with a long standing tradition of not militarizing the inauguration of a president. But you're calling folks that disagree with this "extreme". You have to be kidding me. The fing military told him it was a bad idea to militarize the inauguration. Is the military comprised of a bunch of "far left" extremists? Wake up Guns.

Its a matter of purpose and culture.
In Soviet Union army was like prison... and all country actually was.
In Israel all Jews regardless of gender, orientation, religion, or race considered military service as great privilege and inability to serve as a personal tragedy.
In US military service is a job occupation. There is no need for draft but everyone who feels patriotic can take on the job.
There are many other ways to support US army.
And this has nothing to do with political affiliation and Trumps or Obamas.
Who cares about political midgets anyways?

When I turned 18 and they came Ronny house I was disqualified because Of my Asthma which is very minor. I suppose running down the court playing basketball and serving in the military is to different animals. If they lift my disqualification I would gladly serve with pride

A few comments .

Agree with your perspective. Something along the lines of reserve duty could impart some sense of belonging, direction and patriotism to much of our youth.


Not sure about a military parade, guess it's all about how it's delivered and its intent. If its a celebration of their service then Im all for it. if its simply a display of force or any homage to trump then Im not. We have local parades that include servicemen and always found them a highlight and worthy of my applause more so than any politicians.

I thought the inaugural concert was uplifting and classy , the performance by Three Doors down was flat but rest of assembly stirred positive emotions. Voight's opening remarks were a bit much from my perspective. Though the CNN coverage was more even handed,. Maybe doing their part towards a peaceful transition or maybe somewhat whipped by derision

Yep, Trump's rhetoric crossed the line many times in his campaign but believe most of his supporters understood the catch phrases for what they were as that came out in many interviews.

What is ironic and humorous is that the left especially in hollyweird and ny created a permissible air of anything goes which backfired on them. In times past, everyone would have been aghast at the rawness of speech and open hostilities.

The distraught can cite some white supremacist conference but what I witness mostly in my travels in some southern states was a populist movement with civil people wanting change not deplorable. They saw our country shifting towards socialism and didnt like it. Yeh, they like clinging to their guns and religion

If anything, the cover has been pulled back and the ugly side of the electorate has been shown to be from many segments of the left.


Anyway, Ive been calling him looney tunes but I will hope for his success, that of the country and that of all. After noon today, I will call him President Trump.

Let's not lay this at the feet of white supremacist but at Trump who launched his campaign with the racist vitriol of questioning the origins of the sitting President..Let's not try to rewrite history..

Very Sad moment watching President Obama and Michelle departing. I didn't agree with everything but he was a very good President. He served this nation well and there was progress on several fronts. His legacy will definitely remain intact even if some legislation is changed. My thanks and blessings.

Well said. To add to that, the "Deplorables" the Fox
News/Bill O'Reilly viewers raised $500k to get the Talladega Alabama marching band to Washington. despite the death treats and Uncle Tom accusations from the likes of Snoop Dog. All thanks to Omarosa Manigault simply mentioning the schools GoFundMe account.

Yet the media and their followers continue to push the false narrative that republicans are evil and irredeemable deplorables ultimately helped elect President Donald J. Trump in 2016 and most likely again in 2020. Especially, with the way everything is going unless things change.

Saw that, scary stuff. His ex said he used to keep a copy of Hitler's speeches by his bedside. I wish I could remember the article, but it pointed out that this book catalogued what divisive rhetoric was most effective in appealing to the masses. That's how he was able to tap into the ugly side of the electorate. Not saying this applies to all Trump voters because many of them were former Obama voters. Just shows who we're dealing with.

I suppose that is possible but most likely just more mass hysteria from the far left

Your poster boy is proposing military parades down Pennsylvania Avenue like some tin pot dictator, and you're talking about the "far left"? Fucking child.

As a child I used to like the military parades in Moskov with all this tanks, rockets, and soldiers marching and jets overhead.
It was comforting and had some holiday spirit in it.
Simple people will like it.
Trump is not right or left... he is Populist.
World is in turmoil and every nation is collapsing inwards.
So better have military parades that military drafts...

The return of the draft is unequivocally the best thing that can happen for America. Expedite the legalization of proud soon to be America law-abiding citizens. America will be as strong and united as ever.

Americans have forgotten those feelings and now take the military and their safety for granted. Especially millennials.

Will you be serving?

When I turned 18 and they came Ronny house I was disqualified because Of my Asthma which is very minor. I suppose running down the court playing basketball and serving in the military is to different animals. If they lift my disqualification I would gladly serve with pride

Sure you will- is it really fair that unpatriotic, ungrateful, poorly cultured sloths such as yourself who won't do military service, get to dictate who should do military service and how they well benefit from it despite you never having done it?
