n/t

to celebrate his victory over Sexually Transmitted Diseases?

Also I thought his admin is supposed to be cutting expenses. Adding another holiday for victory in both world wars sure isn't doint that.

The idiocy continues.

including the renaming of the Gulf, the two 100ft flag poles at the white house, just to make his idiot base think he is doing something. He wants people who drive by the white house to see the flag poles and think about him...I mean, what an accomplishment, right?

Its waste and people should understand that the meaningless unproductive stupidity is a sign of his incompetence, nothing else.

Just like I still call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

We should all be boycotting his name changes.

who didn't fight in either World Wars. The Korean War. The Vietnam War. Afghanistan. Iraq. And veterans who have served honorably without being in an overseas conflict.

You just can't invalidate them like that.

Is he going to change the name of Memorial Day to 'Suckers and Losers Day' since that's how he really feels about the people we honor on that day.

Itll be live forever day. Cus winners are never memoried

This country is crazy to give so much power to the executive.

When civics aren’t stressed and intelligence is considered “elite”.

Was there a specific ruling by the SC that allowed this particular executive power? I believe many of the powers were written into the constitution. imo they were always excessive as is the whole executive position- too much power with no easy way to reign them in or remove them.

just allowing him to dictate everything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_v._United_States allows him to ignore the courts - the most they can do to him is persuade other parts of the government to ignore orders from Trump. That means he has the confidence to try anything; a lot of what he's done so far could have been prevented if some Republicans in Congress had stopped him, but so few of them have any ethics that they've sat back and allowed him to do what the fuck he likes.

I bet you're right!

and so it begins

several cities have cancelled or scaled back their juneteeth celebrations because of the current political climate.

the war continued in Japan.

But I doubt Donny knows any history. LOL

Jesus, what a damn fool. He just wants a
Victory Day like Putin has.

Someone ought to bring that up to TSF. I doubt anyone will, though.

Asking for G.O.P. Golfers

Soon there will be one a month, mandatory attendance, totalitarian tithing with a song of praise to be sung during the public floggings. One of those 12 events should be named Golf Overlord Praise Day. Drafts won't be necessary when everyone is a "volunteer".

...he wants... only more like the one for Anwar Sadat....

It is disrespectful to the memories of those fallen service members to declare that May 8, 1945, marked the end of World War II.

To him and his supporters everything is nothing more than a competition or sporting event where someone wins and someone loses. I bet this idiot doesnt even realize that after VE Day WW2 wasn’t over.

It's not a competition. Just ignore trump and don't take offence.

to officially rename veterans day. Presidents can name a specific date as a holiday, but cannot declare annual recurring holidays.

The third Monday in February is commonly called presidents day even though the official federal holiday is Washington's birthday.

The Soviets arguably won the war in Europe in WWII.

To say that the US were the strongest in WWI is pretty laughable. The US wasn't really operationally involved until 1918 (Chateau-Thierry and Belleau Wood weren't until May-June 1918). Any of the other warring parties on the Western Front were arguably stronger than the Americans for the majority of the war. The Germans were already near collapse by 1918, with the Spring Offensive of that year being a success in the way the Ardennes Offensive was initially successful in WWII.

The US contribution to winning WW1 was more money & materiel.
We weren't there long enough to have made a huge tactical difference. But, we were strategically important.
We would disagree about the war in Europe, though.

about two thirds of the German army and air force were consumed on the eastern front. In fact, the Russian land and air forces were so strong at the end of the war that the allies feared they might not stop at Berlin and proceed to take over all of Europe. IIRC there was even a contingency plan drawn up that would have seen a retreat to England and eventual relaunching of a counter invasion from there and N Africa.

Of course the draft dodger wouldn't know, or care, about any of that. I wonder what Trump would have done if he had been born 15 or 20 years earlier (were bone spurs a thing in those days?).

Suckers and losers - he is one sick fuck

What the actual eff?

(As an aside, I am so sick of the way WWII and WWI are romanticized and obsessed over by MAGATs.)

. . . . . .

and after the US defeated Germany in WW2, they changed their name to Trump and pretended to be Swedish.

Trump and most of his family are on the wrong side of literally everything.

A remarkable sweep of "wrong and evil" in every single instance. I can't think of one redeeming trait. Not one. No sense of humor. Has no pets. Is mean to his children. Has terrible taste.

Demented Donald should be severed from reality, in a tightly controlled bubble. Let him think he is an absolute dictator, but control everything he sees and hears. It's a bit far-fetched, but his tiny hands must not hold the actual reins of power.

This is a big FU to the people (mostly poor and middle class, largely people of color) who fought in Vietnam and the Gulf Wars.

What a self entitled worthless POS -- and I wonder how many post Korean veterans voted for this piece of crap?

Please give us a brief summary of US involvement in WWI & WWII…

The ignorance is overwhelming, but not at all a surprise.

Because they are just “suckers and losers”

We won this. We won that. Greatest nation on earth, blah blah blah.
We need Sister Mary Elephant and her giant scream. Make it "SHUUTUUP!!" this time. Yes, kids, Cheech and Chong reference.

superlatives in search of metrics.

Troop numbers and casualties can be measured.

Bravery ... how do you quantify?

Military brilliance. I believe it was Nigel Hamilton's trilogy FDR at war that showed the British generals were far more experienced at warfare than American top brass.

AI ChatGPT weighs in: [British] "Field Marshal Alan Brooke’s wartime diaries, where Brooke is often blisteringly critical of American military leadership.

Brooke often viewed American generals as inexperienced, overconfident, and lacking in strategic maturity.

He believed that many of them, including Eisenhower (at first), were too deferential to political aims or Roosevelt’s vision, and not seasoned in planning complex, global operations.

Hamilton quotes Brooke expressing frustration over U.S. impatience and lack of understanding of logistical realities, especially regarding early plans for a cross-Channel invasion (which the British thought premature in 1942–43)."

But you run with it, Donnie.

New Rule: Never hire hire a Secret Service Agent to do the right thing. Ever.

Does that mean those veterans discounts and free donuts won’t be offered?

Trump Day. Because it's always about HIM.

Or one who escaped it by paying off some quack.

while cutting funds because WWI and WWII combatants are now rare

Maybe we should also rename 28 April "Take a hint, assholes" day (after 28 April 1945) and 28 April "We really mean it! Take a fucking hint, assholes" day (after 30 April 1945)?

BTW, Donny Demento is an ignorant nitwit: WWII ended in August 1945, not May

Is he trying to remake every aspect of our nation?

😡
