Rubbed down to a nubbin.
Jeebus, the stupid parade Comrade Trump wants is seeking funding…
“The Pentagon is considering soliciting donations to fund the President’s requested military parade, which could cost between $3 million and $50 million, according to preliminary estimates from a defense official who spoke with CNN.
“Because there is currently no money set aside for a parade in the military budget, the Pentagon would likely use those private donations to offset the cost of the non-military components of the event, according to CNN. Budget director Mick Mulvaney said Wednesday that he estimates the parade could cost between $10 million to $30 million.”
Lord Love A Duck, just get the military contractors to fork it over as a kickback. “This stupid show of masculine insecurity is brought to you by Boeing!” (for instance)
If the Trump administration is organizing this parade then, while it may cost between $10 million to $30 million, we will end up paying between $60 million to $100 million for it.

Who gets the repaving contract, when Pennsylvania Ave. is torn to shreds by the tanks and missile-launchers? My Quatloos are betting on Ryan Industries.

Seems like there should be some mechanism for congressional oversight on this. I keep saying, Trump is the symptom. Congress is the disease.

What and let the Granny Starver pass up a chance to starve a granny or two(million)??? Surely there’s some poor people they can rob to pay for this.

So, in other words, the tanks and missiles will be plastered with sponsor decals and look like NASCAR racecars. Can’t wait.

If I had any photoshop skills at all I would be, at this very moment, putting together a parade of tanks with sponsors like Pampers, Cover Girl and Gerber pasted all over them.

Can’t someone put together a video of this proposal, then convince The donald (ow, my brain hurts) that they need to keep him away from the streets but he can watch the whole thing on the video feed?
Maybe they can get Disney/Pixar to animate it. They even have a reputation of hiding little easter eggs in their films.
Problem solved! (Don’t I wish)
