Why do you care if an Argentinian gets creative with his income taxes in Spain? 

Not according to the guy in charge. And it may be meaningful. It may be the jolt this nation needs to see just how pathetic the President truly is. 

Some guys in the Army get to go shoot the enemy and parachute into battle. Some peel the potatoes and some are in the typing pool.  They volunteered to serve in the military which comes with sacrifices. 

I'll probably end up going to sleep. This jingoistic nationalism kind of makes my skin crawl. 

I couldn’t agree more. As citizens that is exactly what we should do.

If you are in the military and your superior were to ask you dig a hole and then fill it back in that would be your task which you would do. If they tell you to stand at attention while your boss gives a stupid speech then you stand at attention. I get it, Trump is a stain on this country. However, he is the duly

I don’t think that I am missing the point. There are air shows all over the place all the time. These are also dick measuring displays - much the same as this parade debacle is. The difference is that there will also be tanks and members of all the armed services and that it strays from “normal” July 4th celebrations.

No, you didn’t volunteer to destroy the enemy. You volunteered to serve the armed forces as directed by your superiors. If that includes this jerkoff assignment then so be it. You don’t get to pick and choose what you do when you sign up for the military. Pretending that the military hasn’t been, for it’s entire

I’ll be watching it from the water. Should be more interesting than normal with the two fireworks displays and the air show.  Not that it will make much difference as the weather will likely shut it all down. 

So the military personnel is asked to work and that’s a problem? I don’t follow the logic. My special lady friend is a Navy Nurse and has to work on the 4th. She has certainly not complained about it. It’s her duty. it’s what she signed up for - to be told what to do and when to do it, not to get 4 day passes and beer

They brought the tanks in on the other side of town. Even those buffoons knew not to use the Memorial Bridge.  There are five other bridges to use from VA to DC aside from the Memorial.

They can’t even drive them at the Lincoln Memorial because there are underground catacombs that are not built to withstand the point load a tank would present. The tanks will be a static display.

You are a nice person and I thank you.

How do I unsee it?

When will people start to call for the cancellation of this event like they do every year when someone dies at the Isle of Mann?

From that top photo it sure looks like they gave up on designing the front ends of sedans.

Fair points. 

Sauerbrunn is shaky in every game. Dunn having her best match against Spain is not a compliment, but an indictment. She is not that great.

This is the wrong take.  The final will be the final.  This is not the final.  This discounts every other team remaining in the tournament.  

It’s not as though Nissan and VW are the high water mark of automotive reliability.
