      Pentagon delaying military parade. "We originally targeted November 10, 2018 for this event but have now agreed to explore opportunities in 2019." https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/16/politics/military-parade-postponed/index.html …

      Between the release of the much higher budget and this delay, I wonder if the Pentagon isn't trying to scuttle this thing?

          That, plus their aversion to looking like Soviet Russia or North Korea.

          Pentagon figuring President Pelosi will be in charge by then.

          Of course they are. No Wall, and No Parade. And no Space Force. Time for the grownups to step in. This fucking insanity has got to stop.

          Upon reflection, some sort of ceremony honoring our military that isn’t a monument to Trump’s ego might not be a bad thing. Our service members have fought in the dark, with little public acknowledgement and deep public disconnect, for 15 years.

          You mean like two national holidays every single year? Events like that?

          I think the bad publicity of the higher cost plus the statement from the American Legion is giving Trump second thoughts. I don’t think the Pentagon would be doing this without the approval of Trump.

          They could be, but I would not be surprised if the new price tag was the last straw for now for Ryan/McConnell, prob supported by Meadows, whoever else Trump actually listens to.https://twitter.com/andrewlong166/status/1030256488697262081?s=21 …

          I think it was building into a major election liability. With skyrocketing cost and his insane disparagement of armed forces seeking raises that congress got, an unprecedented 92 million dollar single day event just 5 days from Election Day is a slam dunk target to shoot at.
