Sadly, if he tells them to rename it, they’ll salute and goose step right back to their desks and get on it! 🤬

condbar.bsky.social•7 days ago

You know nothing about veterans. You are not one. You never walked in their shoes or experienced their service.

God bless you for supporting Ukraine🙏🇺🇦

All of a sudden Comrade Bone Spurs is a military historian.

billbre.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump continues to not understand even the basic reason for Veterans Day. The holiday is a day set aside to honor ALL VETERANS.

ottowa.bsky.social•8 days ago

The fucking coward draft dodger refused to fight so he should stay the fuck out of military matters.

boomer-michael.bsky.social•7 days ago

Better idea: rename #Trump. #ResidentTrump, or #ROTUS, for short, because he’s not presidential, at all.

katiefrommi.bsky.social•8 days ago

Agree - but whenever it’s a ‘less’ WTF shocking EO or declaration we really should be asking what is he distracting from? What news are they trying to bury? Because it gets the emotional reaction for veterans this will now be a broadcast news segment tonight vs something else

lallberry.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hmmmm….maybe you should DO SOMETHING instead of lame social media posts.

rusty2020.bsky.social•8 days ago

He's renaming the Civil War to South Won !

tribal-knowledge.bsky.social•8 days ago

They call it the war between the states in Texas.

Only Congress can remove funding from NPR and PBS, as well, Senator, but here we are.

janbeecher.bsky.social•8 days ago

As the proud daughter of a WWII vet who, though not on the front line, paid the price for the rest of his days, from the bottom of my heart, I have two words.

Congress is NOT doing their JOB

While the troop-hating draft dodger viciously, needlessly forecloses on the homes of 90,000 veterans:

You are correct. Trump can do whatever he wants to do, and you offer nothing that might stop him. There is a growing sense of frustration out here in the country among people who would like to remove our new dictator from office and don't understand your seemingly futile hesitancy.

ggraciebw.bsky.social•8 days ago

He seems to be throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks so he can brag, "I did that"

silentmachine.bsky.social•8 days ago

Back on his "I like people who werent captured" shtick again? Same song, different melody.

jodiejack.bsky.social•8 days ago

Then he wants to name after multiple wars or battles like the battle of Waterloo????

A Democratic Leader with GRIT should go on TV and declare that THEY are renaming Donald Trump to 'Donnie 2 Dolls' and will refer to him that way henceforth....

EVEN IF the Dems are in the minority they should be doing this!

Extra points if they have a Hat with that name on it!

FIGHT BACK!

laststarfighter.bsky.social•5 days ago

And yet you continue to support so many of his nominees… you hosted events at his inauguration…. And you will continue to tweet and then roll over and do nothing.

doncomer.bsky.social•13 hours ago

"Victory in WWI Day?" As Trump abandons our traditional alliances with our European allies, note that Americans fought WWI to buttress other free societies there & "make the world safe for democracy." The WWI policy, & war effort, is the opposite of Trump's fond embrace of autocrats & oligarchy.

threeatwake.bsky.social•8 days ago

Bone Spurs Trump should not have a vote on this one!!!

thejuliek.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just called your offices for the maybe 15th time asking when you are doing a public town hall in the twin cities.

If an old man like Grassley can handle it, why can’t someone who ran for president?

Your inert bs is why dems have a lower approval rating than Trump.

rasthavas.bsky.social•8 days ago

Give him limits. That’s your job. I can’t do it.

materialmatters.bsky.social•5 days ago

Is it possible for our Felon-in-Chief to declare a separate holiday celebrating his own service to the Nation?

Vietnam Draft Dodger Day

mattmo35.bsky.social•8 days ago

This just is a spoiled old man!
Each day I just get madder at the people that voted for him.

no way.another thing he's wanting to get.tid
off.whats his problem

hobbitfeet42.bsky.social•8 days ago

To be fair, we haven't won a war since 1945. This will insult all the vets from Korea through today and I hope they're smart enough to see that.

superdesai.bsky.social•8 days ago

What are you planning to do about it?

mikahmiriam.bsky.social•8 days ago

Remember during his first term when it was raining in France and he didn’t want to mess up his hair so he bailed on the WWI memorial?

komue.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump had a drink with Hegseth.

marconian.bsky.social•7 days ago

Right Amy. Congress has freely handed over the power or the purse. Congress has proven itself unable to meet the moment. Do better. New leadership. Louder voices with relentless messaging. Challenge the lies every day. Save our Republic!

jbro52.bsky.social•8 days ago

Distraction from inflation, gas has gone up, food has gone up. Can’t go out to eat for under $20 unless it’s fast food. It’s only going to get worse .

mp-willow.bsky.social•8 days ago

Is this just for personal Vanity? He needs to read a little history.

love18b.bsky.social•5 days ago

He does a lot of things that “only congress” has the right. He must be stopped

cynthiakrueger.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump just learned about it, he thinks it a new thing, 25th amendment soon.

IMPEACH.
CONVICT.
REMOVE.

dogenrinzai.bsky.social•8 days ago

Why can’t you say his name?

ollie1924.bsky.social•8 days ago

Wow, that's tackling the issues head on. Must have brought down prices, solved the Middle East Crisis and ended the Russian war against Ukraine. Oh wait, renaming things is so much more important to our country's citizens.

cheriharam.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm glad you finally decided to speak up about an EO that's actually the purview of congress. Maybe now start doing something about it. Like not voting for R's nominees. Start issuing a statement everyday about how that day's work is going to harm most of us AND what the D's would do different.

sheadapts.bsky.social•7 days ago

He's senile.
Didn't he try to rename a holiday before this?

pattygibbs.bsky.social•8 days ago

Pull back the curtain on this there's a surprise coming. It's a distraction for something

puddinpetunia.bsky.social•8 days ago

Always

dextie.bsky.social•8 days ago

He is such an a...hole. King Bone Spurs has no right to rename Veterans Day because he has decimated Veterans CARE!!!!!

lindamtka.bsky.social•8 days ago

Absolutely not! The focus should be on the veterans, not some kind of scorecard. Thank you, Amy. Be loud!

smdg85.bsky.social•7 days ago

That’s so he can get his victory day parade,

isaacspeer.bsky.social•8 days ago

THIS is what upsets you? I mean, sure, he can't do this, but there's so much worse he's doing while you Senators act like business-as-usual.

northsidejo.bsky.social•8 days ago

I thought only Congress can form Departments but, DOGE. What's your plan for that?

beccafromtheholler.bsky.social•8 days ago

I see this as a slap in the face to all veterans. What does this accomplish? What is the reasoning behind this? Oh yeah, I remember. He has no reason, no insight or thought about him.

satellitekisses.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes+ Only Congress can declare+fund wars meanwhile, DJT bombs the shit out of Yemen
+American soldier deaths go unmentioned.
Only Congress can impose tariffs+spend $ +yet Putin holds Our purse.
Seriously, renaming shit… focus to shut down every movement.
Persuade GOP to stop him Human trafficking.

mered40.bsky.social•8 days ago

He's such a douchebag

archer60.bsky.social•8 days ago

Is he going to call it "Sucker's and Lossers Day".

twixicat.bsky.social•8 days ago

Veterans Day honors the sacrifice members of the armed forces have made, making it obvious that they deserve the post-service rewards they were promised.

This administration does not believe in rewarding service.

Only loyalty to Dear Leader and acquisition of wealth are recognized by the regime.

markgdube.bsky.social•7 days ago

Can he stoop any lower?

dorseymalina.bsky.social•8 days ago

Captain Bone Spurs and Draft Dodging Convicted Felon, Rapist and accused child rapist Con Trump.

zaahd-like.bsky.social•8 days ago

I mean he kinda already burned that bridge with veterans by calling them suckers and losers and firing VA employees so I guess it makes sense
