Army estimates that Trump's military parade could cost $16 million in damage to Washington streets

[Into the Night]

Talk, talk, talk.

The truth will soon be known along with the total cost of Trump's birthday parade.

So if you don't want to discuss this thread, why are you here?

(I already know...you are here to troll.)

They have to install steel plates at several places

Easy.

and then remove them when Daffy's parade is done.

Easy.

They have to be leveled and braced underground.

Nope. They just have to anchored. Usually by an asphalt strip, which also serves as a ramp to the plate.

They do not just drop a plate and solve the problem.

Yes they do.

It is construction work that has to be reversed when Daffy's ego is satisfied.

Installing a plate isn't at all difficult, Sybil. Removing them is just as easy.

The parade is not about or for Trump, Sybil.

Donnie wants his multimillion dollar birthday parade and the MAGAt Congress is letting him have it. At this point arguing about it won't change anything.

Have the parade, access the costs and then say "I told you so" while watching JPP MAGAts deny it. LOL

Random words. No apparent coherency.

I wonder if any of the claimed former military alt lefties here will be in attendance. My time served, we had a lot of parades, and the 250th for the US Army is YUGE bigly. The fact that it falls on Trump's birthday makes it even more delicious.
If this event bothers them, how the hell are they going to handle July 4 next year?

I wonder if Trump can pen an executive order declaring his birthday to be officially recognized on July 4.

Yep, the gimps

Gimps. Ah. Ironic, for you trumptards are all gimps to a toddler king to whom you submit in order for your hated libs to be owned.

are desperate to keep their Great Leader's criminal gang out of the news cycles. It's far bigger than Watergate, and will result in indictments covering a huge chunk of the Party's leadership and money launderers.

Yes, Obama was great. Biden should have kept to his promise of running for one term only. That hurt the Dems.

lol at 'parades n stuff iz evil n bad!!!' These deviants and commies are getting more pathetic by the hour. Even the mid-terms are looking lost at this point.

And this sentence? Well.. I guess we'll just have to attribute your chaos to your being poisoned by hate for black and brown people.

Indeed Earl it was a HUGE waste of taxpayer money. Tax the people and throw away their hard earned money.

So were the vermins' hundreds of days of riots, arson, and looting. They should have been shot down in the streets, but they weren't, now they feel entitled.

The parade route is about 4, plus a bit, miles long. It costs about $900,000 a mile to repave a city street with multiple lanes. So, how having to repave the whole length of the parade route runs $16 million requires some explaining by the estimators I'd think.

Vaguely recall from about 30 years ago when they were still working on the Metro a few sections of the roads collapsed from maybe too much weight from multiple concrete trucks in the same place. Was quite a delay in getting those sections finished.

$16 million here, another $64 million there, pretty soon this birthday bash will be hitting hundreds of millions... We will remember this in the tough times to come.

Trump couldn't care less. It's not his money he's spending.
