Conservatives: "Why are we aiding Ukraine when we don't even take care of our veterans?!"
Also Conservatives: "No money for veterans!"

Oh Donald Trump? The guy who insulted dead soldiers to the faces of their loved ones? The guy who knew about the Russian bounty program and didn't do anything about it until the press got a hold of it?
That Donald Trump?

My husband is a disabled vet and has not missed his payment yet..but we are worried. He works full time too but we still rely on that money. He is also disgusted by how many veterans he knows that support him…

I don't know how any veterans support(ed) that fucking greaseball. His draft dodging and his comments on McCain alone should have been enough to turn us against him and then he went on to insult gold star families, disabled veterans, and dead veterans. The only service he's ever known is self-service.
Any support he receives from veterans only proves him right that we're suckers and losers, just not for the reason he believes.

I wish, I hope. Unfortunately, the only defense against idiots was education but that’s been taken care of since the 90’s(really since the 80’s but really since the children after WW2).
Now? The real Americans with memory must come together and fight our way out of ignorance… again…

America praises its solders and condemns its veterans.

I hope many are still real Patriots like General Milley:
"I regret to inform you that I intend to resign as your Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Thank you for the honor of appointing me as senior ranking officer. The events of the last couple weeks have caused me to do deep soul-searching, and I can no longer faithfully support and execute your orders as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is my belief that you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country. I believe that you have made a concerted effort over time to politicize the United States military. I thought that I could change that. I’ve come to the realization that I cannot, and I need to step aside and let someone else try to do that.
Second, you are using the military to create fear in the minds of the people—and we are trying to protect the American people. I cannot stand idly by and participate in that attack, verbally or otherwise, on the American people. The American people trust their military and they trust us to protect them against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and our military will do just that. We will not turn our back on the American people.
Third, I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States and embodied within that Constitution is the idea that says that all men and women are created equal. All men and women are created equal, no matter who you are, whether you are white or Black, Asian, Indian, no matter the color of your skin, no matter if you’re gay, straight or something in between. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jew, or choose not to believe. None of that matters. It doesn’t matter what country you came from, what your last name is—what matters is we’re Americans. We’re all Americans. That under these colors of red, white, and blue—the colors that my parents fought for in World War II—means something around the world. It’s obvious to me that you don’t think of those colors the same way I do. It’s obvious to me that you don’t hold those values dear and the cause that I serve.
And lastly it is my deeply held belief that you’re ruining the international order, and causing significant damage to our country overseas, that was fought for so hard by the Greatest Generation that they instituted in 1945. Between 1914 and 1945, 150 million people were slaughtered in the conduct of war. They were slaughtered because of tyrannies and dictatorships. That generation, like every generation, has fought against that, has fought against fascism, has fought against Nazism, has fought against extremism. It’s now obvious to me that you don’t understand that world order. You don’t understand what the war was all about. In fact, you subscribe to many of the principles that we fought against. And I cannot be a party to that. It is with deep regret that I hereby submit my letter of resignation.
But instead of resigning, Milley reportedly decided to fight his battle from inside the government, allegedly saying, “If they want to court-martial me, or put me in prison, have at it. But I will fight from the inside.”
General Mark Milley 🇺🇲

DEMs are not the worse because they don’t have control of POTUS or both houses. We had more on him to impeach him twice the last time and GOP voted against it. STOP saying DEMS are the problem because they are not.

Ah yes the old "Reoubkicans are shitting the bed, why aren't the Democrats Doing anything?" Democrats can only talk and file lawsuits. They don't control any of the three branches.

The US became an official joke of a country when that many people fell for Trumps bs and voted for him. It became a low point in this countries terrible history. Which I love "Make America great again". America was only great if you were a rich white man. If you were black, you were sub human. A women? Werent allowed to vote and treated like a servant. Native American? Good luck. Yeah, make America great again, sure.
