We are “real Americans “. I’m sure you already know that.

There is money to pay a settlement to Ashli Babbitt’s family. Five million dollars to the family of a QAnon nutjob who climbed through a broken glass window past a police barricade and was shot after disregarding repeated orders from law enforcement to stay back from the barricaded Capitol chamber.

Meaning that somehow 500 families living mostly in NW DC have to get to SE to the Sports and Entertainment complex in the middle of all fo the madness AND Walls families have to somehow get to the GW campus. So basically it one more reason that this complete waste of money is also a huge pain for local families.
Good lord. Why is JR graduating on the other side of town? Thats an outrageous trip even with no parade. Why not at AU or UDC?
Which is bigger: 4,200 or 1,500 (UDC)?
With about 500 graduates and their families UDC would not make sense, unless there’s a bigger space that I’m not aware of.
Does AU usually make their spaces available to DCPS for things like graduations?

I’m sure it wouldn’t happen, and I’m not into their music, but if Bruce and Taylor had a DC concert on the day of the parade, I’d go.

The 250th birthday of the US Army seems like a big deal to a lot of people and many are glad it is being appropriately recognized. There are actually almost 3 weeks of events with the parade being just one event.
This is not how this event should be “appropriately” recognized. We do not do this kind of bs in the USA because we aren’t the freaking Soviet Union or North Korea, got it, treason weasel?
I mean, we sort of do this type of event every week in our country. NFL flyovers, Fleet Week in NYC, the Andrew’s Air show etc. We celebrate our military all the time and appropriately so.
