If only there were some sort of 3rd party that legitimately opposed wasteful government spending.

Not only opposed to it, but when they got elected they actually ... CUT spending!!

Ehh I'm realistic.  I know the sooner libertarians become electable the sooner someone like Trump runs as one.

That’s the first thing I thought of when I heard military parade. It’s one thing to have a parade with veterans etc in your town, but a full military parade is Russia trying to show us how powerful they are (should’ve nuked em when all their missiles were rolling through Red Square) or some nothing dictator trying to show all the toys that we would destroy in under an hour if there were a war.
