Elsewhere than Rachel.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, March 29th 2017 at 4:33PM

WHAT!

Steve Williams Wednesday, March 29th 2017 at 8:21PM

We learned about helicopters and jets flying in "70" formation. Other than that, nothing.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, March 29th 2017 at 8:54PM

We are also learning that Trump wanted a dictatorship, military style parade, like in Russia, China or like in North Korea, did you see that?

Steve Williams Wednesday, March 29th 2017 at 10:37PM

I watched the show just like you Ron. That's not what she said.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, March 30th 2017 at 7:01PM

What was reported Steven?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, March 30th 2017 at 7:18PM

What was reported Steven? Did you not see when she reported a quote from the Huffington Post: "TRUMP SOUGHT MILITARY EQUIPMENT FOR INAUGURATION, GRANTED 20-PLANE FLYOVER?"


HOW CAN YOU MISS THIS: During the preparation for Friday's Transfer - of - Power, A member of Trump's transition team floated the idea of including TANKS AND MISSILE LAUNCHERS in the inaugural parade.

STEVEN, it is right here in this report, how can you miss this?

Are you smoking that BULL💩 again?

Steve Williams Thursday, March 30th 2017 at 7:38PM

She didn't say "Trump wanted a dictatorship, military style parade."

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, March 30th 2017 at 7:44PM

What was reported Steven? That is the difference. STEVEN, put that BULL💩 when you are talking to me and view the content of this blog.

Steve Williams Thursday, March 30th 2017 at 8:43PM

I saw the show the night it was aired. GET IT RON? Give me the timestamp she said it or shut up.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, March 30th 2017 at 10:01PM

Since it seems like you don't remember from last night up up-till now, you can refresh your mind, simply by clicking on the "WATCH NOW" and you will see it flash before your eyes ASAP, if you give a damn.

Defense Department spokeswoman Valerie Henderson declined to comment on the request for tanks and missile launchers, referring questions to the Trump transition team. Trump advisor Boris Epshteyn told HuffPost that the presidential inaugural committee worked closely with the military “to render appropriate honors” for Trump’s swearing-in. But he directed questions about “specific aspects” of the military’s support to the Defense Department.

The Pentagon didn’t reject all of Trump’s ideas. At the request of the president-elect, there are five military flyovers ― one for each branch of the armed services ― planned for Friday’s inaugural parade, Pentagon spokesman Maj. Jamie Davis told HuffPost.

The Air Force plans to fly four fighter jets: an F-35, an F-16, an F-22 and an F-15E. The Navy will fly four F/A-18 combat jets. The Army will fly four UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The Marines will fly four V-22 Ospreys. And the Coast Guard, which is still finalizing plans, is looking at flying four MH-65 rescue helicopters, Davis said. The number and type of planes used could change, depending on Friday’s weather, he added.

Military flyovers are not typically part of inaugural parades. Outgoing President Barack Obama did not use any military aircraft at either of his inaugurations, the Defense Department official said. There were no flyovers at President George W. Bush’s 2005 inauguration, but he did have a flyover during his 2001 opening ceremony, which occurred two days before the inauguration. President Ronald Reagan considered including flyovers in his second inauguration in 1985, but one never materialized, the official said. Before that, the last president to include military flyovers as part of his inauguration was President Harry Truman in 1949.

Stephen Kerrigan, who held top positions in Obama’s first and second presidential inaugural committees, said he was “shocked” to hear about the planned flyovers for Friday. “It seems unnecessary and the optics don’t seem appropriate. … It’s very Red Square,” he said.

Let me ask you this question STEVEN, what counties do you know that pull their military hardware out and march with it?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, March 31st 2017 at 7:11AM

Did you watch the report that the top of this blog STEVEN?

Did you not see when she reported a quote from the Huffington Post: "TRUMP SOUGHT MILITARY EQUIPMENT FOR INAUGURATION, GRANTED 20-PLANE FLYOVER?"

Steve Williams Friday, March 31st 2017 at 8:19AM

I didn't see any military equipment during the inauguration. Maybe you were one of those Democrats that didn't watch/attend so you wouldn't know that.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, March 31st 2017 at 8:58AM

I see that you are a little SLOW this morning: this question was STEVEN, what counties do you know that pull their military hardware out and march with it?

Did you not see when she reported a quote from the Huffington Post: "TRUMP SOUGHT MILITARY EQUIPMENT FOR INAUGURATION, GRANTED 20-PLANE FLYOVER?"

The key word in this sentence is "SOUGHT" DEFINITION past and past participle of seek but Trump never got, that is the reason why you did not see STEVEN.

Are you going to answer my question?

Steve Williams Friday, March 31st 2017 at 10:22AM

I heard EXACTLY what Rachel said. She pulled a 2 month inconsequential story out of her ass and blew a big old fart.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, March 31st 2017 at 2:25PM

STEVEN, Did you not see when she reported a quote from the Huffington Post: "TRUMP SOUGHT MILITARY EQUIPMENT FOR INAUGURATION, GRANTED 20-PLANE FLYOVER?"

STEVEN, Did you understand the key word in this sentence is "SOUGHT" DEFINITION past and past participle of seek but Trump never got, that is the reason why you did not see STEVEN.

I asked you STEVEN, what counties do you know that pull their military hardware out and march with it?

Don't go off without answering these questions because I want you to understand. Now stay on topic here for a moment.

According to Rachel, Russia, China, and North Korea. Maybe they know something we don't
