And we're off! The Army's 250th birthday parade kicked off half an hour early due to inclement weather. It's actually fascinating … we're seeing soldiers march in uniforms throughout the history of the Army. The White House has been posting footage of this terrifying "display of force" by King Donald Trump.

Since the parade has sadly turned into a partisan event thanks to the counterprogramming of the "No Kings" protests, we thought it was good of Sen. John Fetterman to wish a happy birthday:
250 years of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage—and the world’s greatest soldiers.

Happy Birthday, @USArmy! 🇺🇸
So far this 250th Army parade is all about… the history of the Army.

Chilling dictatorial stuff.
I had been led to believe that this parade was going to a terrifying fascistic display of power meant to cow dissenters from MAGA into a terrified submission, instead it’s a wholesome history lesson on the US Army set to music. I feel robbed!

I was promised a North Korean show of force. I was TRICKED into LEARNING

I am watching on C-Span and know my history but am finding it quite informative. The hardware that they are showing is not often seen. Also I like honoring some of the outfits that are not as well known to some. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Very weak performance. I miss having a President that understood fascist aesthetics. pic.twitter.com/homxANFG2Y
