There are no bad suggestions here, and borrowing from clever DUers or anyone who posts elsewhere is fair, right?. Just not too "saucy," because kids will be watching--watching us fight for their future in a democratic America.

Trump's Stolen Valor Birthday Celebration.

Hell, no, he wouldn't go, but he wants a military parade?!?

Birthday Boy Bone Spurs

No thanks for your service, Cadet Bone Spurs (with downloaded pictures of US Vietnam soldiers).

Cut Medicaid, but waste money & ruin D.C. streets to satisfy Cadet Bone Spurs.

Draft Dodgers Don't Deserve a Military Parade.

Call me crazy, but why spend $45 million on a military parade honoring a draft dodger when a single veteran needs healthcare, food, or housing they can afford.

Bone Spur Deferment Battalion

That birthday boy ain't right.

Nothing CULTISH about a military parade for a Draft Dodger, right?

If Trump wants a big parade in his honor, all he has to do is resign.

Happy Birthday to the Ultimate Draft Dodger!

This is the government the Founders warned us about.

Dear World, we hate him too.

Unburdened by honor (with a picture of Trump dressed as military dictator)

This is the part of history that makes school kids ask, "Why didn't anyone do something to stop them?"

Are we great yet, 'cause I just feel embarrassed.

Faux King Joke.

No Faux King way!

Where Law ends Tyranny begins--Fire the Felon

Defend Democracy--No kings, no broligarchs, liberty and justice for all.

King-free since 1776--no kings in America.

No Kings 1776 or 2025--Save the Constitution

No Kings--united against tyranny since 1776.

A Free Country has no Kings.

We the People already did this (picture/drawing of crown with line crossing it out, or red circle with slash)

No one a subject, no one a king.

We have a Constitution, not a king.

A Republic, not a Monarchy

Two paths diverged in the woods, and America chose the Psycopath.

It's not red vs. blue, it's billionaires vs. YOU.

Trump's vanity parade will cost taxpayers $45 million.

Can't we just give him a bag of little green army men and call it good?

If you ever wondered what you'd do during Slavery, the Holocaust, the Civil Rights Movement, you're doing it now.

Health Care not Wealth Care.

We shouldn't have to defend Democracy from the President.

Scotus--uphold the Law. Congress--do your job!

May God help us if the Courts don't.

Only weak leaders have to fire half the government to get their way.

Real Men don't throw themselves parades.

Expensive military parade fit for a dictator, but no money for Medicaid (or, "no money for people on Medicaid')

Trumplestiltskin (thanks, Mark Hamill)

Imagine being afraid of diversity, but not dictatorship.

Got polio? Me neither--thanks, Science!

The Constitution doesn't need to be rewritten--it needs to be reread.

Reality show President--now we're all on Survivor.

Only you can prevent fascist liars (with picture of Smokey Bear, ranger hat band says "resist&quot

Eggs are so expensive because all the chickens are in Congress.

I'm not tariff--ied, I'm in-fuhrer-iated!

Make Orwell fiction again.

The USA's becoming Trump's 7th bankruptcy.

Our Huddled Masses will defeat your Fascist Asses (thanks, Cousin IT)

Please, post other suggestions, or statements. Venting allowed.
(Some folks think that the June 14 protests should take place in Washington, D.C. But tRump and his enablers don't care what we think. They'd love an excuse to declare martial law, right? Let's send a loud message to state and local elected officials throughout the country, let them know we're ready to raise hell. Their primary concern is staying in power--we're still allowed to vote. Let's see if they care about getting re-elected. Just my opinion.)

I believe the feelings are that DC will be overrun with maga types, taxi May 18 #15
Doubtful. most MAGAts know they have been thrown under the bus and Trump is on to more personal pursuits. Blues Heron May 18 #19
Yeah. All those cops. All those agents. This is pointless. taxi May 18 #20
You know there are protests every day in DC right? Why not this time? Blues Heron May 18 #21
Ok. Let's talk about this a little bit. We simple have different views on this. taxi May 18 #22
Sure, dont forget, the DC cops deal with protesters every day. They know people have first ammendment rights. Blues Heron May 18 #23
Well, obviously we cannot discuss this with on the premise that only the DC cops are involved in law enforcement. taxi May 18 #24
It's not for everybody, that's for sure, but I think there is a moral duty to confront this. Blues Heron May 18 #25
Or watch this, Sally Simpson by the Who taxi May 18 #26
