Trump really embarrassed the US Army today (www.rollingstone.com)

He treated them like the "suckers and losers" he's called them.

Millions of Americans took to the streets around the country. Unarmed. Peaceful. A big tent that mobilized lots of different people.

Meanwhile the army looked pathetic surrounded by tanks and robot dogs. They had to march for an old man's birthday who felt the need to lie about what the march was for. He tried to goad protesters to come because he couldn't get any crowds.

Shout out to the organizers yesterday who had some really smart ideas like not protesting the parade and switching to the "no kings" slogan from being against "oligarchy".

Keep organizing and keep at it.

The military has some great marching bands, crack troops that can do incredible displays, and all kinds of fantastic aircraft. They were ordered to do a parade, and they did a parade. I don't think these guys are champing at the bit to go to war for Donnie.

We dont want a military coup. People really need to understand this.

I personally would like a new constitution drawn up after this and ratified. I want a legal and longlasting change built on the correct foundation. Trump has 100% shown, we cannot continue under the current consitiution.

I want a democratically elected government to take charge and hold everyone aiding this wannabe dictator accountable.

Honestly, It might be time for a North American Union.

I’m with you up until the “North American Union”. Nah bro, you keep that poison to yourself until ya’ll can show some responsibility and maintain it. We got enough problems up here without ya’ll joining in and way too many of said problems are the USA.

Hey, buddy, stay in your fucking lane. We in Canada should have, based on historic trends, swung our stupid asses Conservative last election but instead we stood up for ourselves and avoided that. Barely, but we did. The USA is a shithole of epic proportions and most of the conservative garbage we have to wade through is massively inspired by the stench coming off that rotten place to the south.

I still agree with the rest of your comment, but you can get right the fuck out of here trying to lump us in even a little with spectacular land-fill firestorm that is the United States of America. Stick to your own business, you have enough to deal with and nobody wants to hear criticism from the worst country in the room.
