Current Events > Trump's special birthday parade is going to shut down the main DC airport

(+) Yeah! (+)

A military parade in Washington, D.C., may significantly impact vehicle and airline traffic on the evening of Saturday, June 14.

Airline Flight Impacts

To accommodate aircraft flyovers along the parade route, followed by a fireworks display, the Federal Aviation Administration is expected to suspend airline operations at DCA affecting scheduled flights. Customers with flight reservations for the evening of June 14 should check the status of their flights directly with their airline.

Expect Traffic Delays

Consider using Metrorail to reach the airport, and expect roadway closures off-airport that could increase travel time.

Yes, this may fuck up the plans of tens thousands of people, but it's a small price to pay for Trump's big day.

Bump

He's actually going through with this bullshit?

What they should do is not do the parade and then when he asks about it, say it already happened.

Shutting a major airport seems totally worth it.

Airlines are gonna have Birdman hands that week along the East Coast. Gonna be expensive af

To be fair, since a lot of international travelers have stopped going to the states, many airlines have begun to decrease, or outright stop, flights to certain hubs in the US.

So, yeah, y'all are losing money in every way possible and I'm here to watch the blowback for voting in a facist regime.

Get fucked, Trump supporters.

I never would have guessed the guy who said he'd be a dictator on day one would order the military to throw him a dictator's parade.

Bro delete that. You can't joke about that stuff.

It's already estimated that this parade will cause at least $16 million in damage to the streets there. What happened to DOGE and cutting wasteful spending from the government?

DCA is definitely the #1 airport to get to DC. Baltimore/BWI is too far away and IAD is lol

Why wouldn't the biggest baby in the world with the biggest ego, surrounded by only yes-men do this?

Imagine how Republicans would have reacted if Obama threw a military parade

Never associated DCA as the *main* DC Airport, but maybe for domestic flights.

Either way it's an atrocious abuse of money to run a military parade for the sake of an old ass piece of shit's vanity.

Imagine being active duty and having to go through this garbage. It's already bad enough that you get used as a political football most often when anything military is discussed, but this is just disgusting.

I remember some great Americans who shut down the DC airport.

They were called the American Colonial Army and they were huge heroes.

i live in an ultra liberal area
and i am ultra liberal
and I hate going places in uniform but thankfully so far a lot of people just don't care (like usual) or continue to be pretty kind so I got lucky

Yeah it's also estimated to cause millions in damage to Washington DC which isn't built for military vehicles. They don't care as long as their deranged king is happy.

Damn right!

But refresh my memory: was that before or after Abraham Lincoln lead SEAL Team 6 to capture Winston Churchill? ( I really need to brush up on my history)
