No thanks, you can move though. I like America and would gladly welcome some more bald eagles in my life.

The bald eagle capital of the world is Brackendale, BC, just North of Squamish on your way to Whistler from Vancouver. I've seen the eagles there several times.

What's this you say about more bald eagles? We have the most bald eagles! :lol:

I wonder whether this quote will be vindicated (I hope not):

The bald eagles is a local saying, it's not really about birds... Locally, it's a synonym for freedom.

This local youtuber is famous for saying it.

Bald eagles are wonderful, bald presidents who get caught out in wind gusts not so much! IF this parade goes ahead, Trump's hair will need to be superglued, or his ego might be deflated instead of inflated. I will happily donate the glue,
to avoid another hair raising incident.

That's good because bald eagles are actually as*holes ... I mean cloacas.

Ya'll don't understand! That Osprey was being liberated. It wasn't just about the fish! I swear!

Some folks never bothers to examine claims.

This is the problem I have with the blind hatred mass hysteria thing.

The Bastille Day parades celebrate Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. I am not convinced that it is celebrations of this which POTUS has in mind. He perhaps wants to flaunt military power, more in line with the North Korean type of parade.

He promised to do something for veterans prior to election. How is that coming along? Wouldn't the money perhaps be better directed to that?

It's going to be a 4th of July Independence Day celebration. We have those anyways.

The US doesn't need to show off its military power. It's already recognized as the supreme superpower of the world which it could destroy a hundred times over.

Have you done any fact checking on what Trump has or hasn't done for veterans?

Every year we head over to Tampa for Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC). I have a immediate family member who was SF, so it's a bit of a tradition to go and see the old unit kick some ass. It's very enjoyable and the members are very happy to show off their talents to friends and family whom otherwise don't know what they do. This demonstration invites units from all over the world to come over and demonstrate, the US is clearly a bit of a show off every year and it's damn awesome.

I just want to see more of this all around the world, let them bald eagles fly baby!

I think the Bald Eagle is in need of Rogaine.

In May 2016, POTUS promised to donate $1 million of his own money to veterans. Has he made good on this or not?

I would submit that he has managed to convert his personal foundation into a mechanism for giving away other people’s money, rather than his own, then typically tries to paint this in a deceptive light.

There are some big questions being asked about the murkiness of what for and how Trump uses his charity funds:

Why do we need a military parade anyway?

A gay pride parade would be better! :heart: :heart: :heart:

Donald Trump should, instead, make the biggest and most super-special gay pride parade ever!
