What recession? Trump's got big plans to use your money for his birthday

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump might finally be getting what he’s always wished for: A militarized birthday party.

According to newly unearthed planning documents obtained by The Associated Press, Trump’s birthday could coincide with a sprawling military display in Washington, D.C. The plans, which have not been publicly released, reportedly call for 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 military vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands, and potentially thousands of civilians.

A defense official confirmed to CBS News that the Army is planning for a potential parade tied to Trump’s 79th birthday on June 14—the same day as the Army’s 250th anniversary. Among the hardware: Bradley and Stryker fighting vehicles.

While technically part of the Army’s long-planned semiquincentennial celebration on the National Mall, the full-blown military parade would be a new addition. And for Trump, the timing is suspiciously perfect.

1. Sounds like a good day for the protest of all protests.

2. Calling all DOGE-bros.

There's some serious waste, fraud and abuse about to happen.

3. I won't watch but I will watch whatever protests occur. I expect some doozies of protest signage!
