The explicit threat comes days after Trump ordered soldiers to put down protests in Los Angeles
Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to forcibly put down any protests that spoil the military parade he has ordered up for his birthday on Saturday to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army’s founding during the American Revolutionary War.
Speaking in the Oval Office following an impromptu event to discuss forest management ahead of the upcoming summer wildfire season, Trump was riffing on what he described as violent excesses by protesters who’ve been demonstrating against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles when he was asked about the possibility of protests against the June 14 parade.
He reiterated the explicit threat a moment later, telling “those people who want to protest” that they would be “met with very big force” once more.
Kiss my ass traitor.
You’re not invited to my birthday party!!!
Like Tiananamen Big?
It will be Tiananmen Squared
Like his Chinese tariffs big
Sends cops to commit a massacre.
Cops see donut shop.
Cops just robs the donut shop and forget about the massacre they’re supposed to do.
A very Bigly show of force
Times 100
“If anyone ruins my big boy parade I’m going to throw the biggest tantrum you’ve ever seen!”
I would advice people against directly clashing with the police. Such does little good, as police has typically more weapons and more fight training. It will only get you in trouble and do nothing good.
If you really wanna be an annoying prick to authorities, consider slashing tires of ICE vehicles. This way, when ICE plans to abduct people again, they’re stuck in the middle of a village they probably don’t know well, surrounded by people who are angry at them. That can’t be good for them.
Use a drone to drop paint on their windshield when parked.
Or drop liquid ass on the groups of cops/ICE, and/or their cars.
Or maybe leave a bag of green lasers with instructions to shine them at LEO helicopters then run away. Don’t get caught with one.
Or if you know an LEO or ICE person, anonymously dox them.
He’s gonna be upside down on a lamp post one day <3
That poor lamp post. They’re gonna need a couple of horses to hoist his fat ass up anywhere.
Need a big dick to enforce that big force. Pussy ass bitch.
Stfu TACO.
Why does donnie dumbass get a military parade anyway? I thought he hated the military?
Probably gets off on telling those “suckers and losers” what to do.
Well now I feel more compelled to go tell off that orange fuck, and protest the armed forces that are a: allowing themselves to be used for propaganda, and b: allowing their companions to be deployed against their own citizens in violation of their oaths.
I have a strong suspicion there’s gonna be a lot of heat exhaustion cases…
Like, not even as a protest, it’s not gonna be coordinated well, they won’t have shade or water and bundled up in old “throwback” uniforms that don’t have the modern benefits and soldiers aren’t used to.
Once a couple genuine cases happen, a lot of people just won’t fight thru it.
Yeah. I’ve lived in DC in June. I’m originally from Florida and the most oppressive heat and humidity I’ve experienced in the US was during summer in DC. And given that it’s only like two months of such heat (compared to the like 7 months where it’s cold), they don’t prioritize infrastructure for it. It is not going to be a good time for anyone.
For some reason I thought it was like 5 miles, but I guess the full route is 0.8 miles.
Still tho, they’re gonna be out there for hours standing around in the sun waiting.
Forecast says 84° high and overcast.
You know what? Now I’m just gonna protest even harder. 😤
Can civilians buy tear gas to throw into parades? Asking for a friend.
So tear gas isn’t available for civilian purchase, and you will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon if you are caught throwing tear gas back at a cop.
So it’s not a “deadly” weapon to use on unarmed civilians but it is if used against cops with gas masks. Hm.
You can do anything once, twice if your quick!
The hardest attackers to block are the ones who don’t intend to leave afterwards
Donald Trump and the GOP are traitors to the United States and enemies of the American people.
Treat them as such.
DO NOT GO PROTEST AT HIS PARADE! He wants the opportunity to paint the opposition as un-American by contrasting them against a parade full of US flags and lots of pomp and circumstance.
What to do instead? COME TO PHILLY! No Kings, 50501, and Indivisible are organizing a march/rally/protest THIS SATURDAY as a counter to his parade. Bring lots of US flags, bring your signs, bring yourselves. If you’re a vet, make that clear with your clothes, signs, flags etc. If you’re a healthcare worker please, PLEASE, show up if able and bring a first aid kit. We are expecting 80-120k people. The street medics will have their work cut out for them even if it stays totally peaceful. Should things be escalated in any way we will need the extra medical knowledge. Bring water, for yourself and to share if you’re able to carry the extra.
Mask, bring eye protection (safety glasses for blunt impact, lab goggles or similar should teargas get deployed), bring a respirator, cover tattoos. Have an exit and arrest plan in place. If you can, buy a cheap phone, DO NOT turn it on near your house, and DO NOT put a SIM card in it. Phones without SIMs can still call 911 and take photos/videos.
There’s so much more info if you really want to dig into it, but please just show up. Be part of the 3.5%
Do both. The people in Washington aren’t going to Philly. Don’t let him get unspoiled parade footage so he can act like the county supports him. Force him to use violence to suppress peaceful protestors. Let the whole country see him hurt Americans for his selfish deeds. Throwing a military parade for his birthday like fucking Kim Jong-Un. Force him to use the US military to hurt Americans and see how that goes.
Don’t give them an inch. Resist every action, everywhere, everytime, at every level.
Someone should bring European floats and put them on the parade path.
Yeah fair, though I do know of a lot of affinity groups already planning to come up from DC. There’s even fairly easy transit options. But I do agree with spoiling his footage. If he wants to issue the order to suppress protestors at his parade with violence I just hope everyone on the ground in DC is ready for that.
Stay safe but stay angry.
Honestly I’d rather less of him being f’ed by the bear and more demonstrating how he’s fucking the country while calling it patriotism
I dunno man. The new Sprout’s on Del Ave is having their grand opening this weekend.
“You better come to my birthday party or you’re gonna be sorry!”
I hope everyone turns up in clown costumes.
I am senile but I think this might be a good one.
All the good people should stay home for the orange rapist/felons stupid parade. I understand that people need to take a stand, but this is a special occasion.
If the good stay home, the only ones left at the rump rally Will be magats. Magats are magats and they themselves will start fighting each other and all the dumb ICE’ers etc will start paint balling their own magats. The next day report to media all the goodies stayed home, all that trouble that happened is on the magats.
Also rump does not get the bloodshed he is looking for unless the magats go wild.
Win win in my book but then again I like shaking my fist at clouds.

Protests mean nothing if nobody sees it.
