Every morning I get upset We have a mentally compromised man and an arrogant drug addict running this country supported by every Republican in congress. The republicans sit by and watch them destroy democracy

itspazuzu.bsky.social•6 days ago

The democrats aren't working very hard to stop him either.

You get what you vote for.

nonnieida.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump’s and Musk’s goal is to destroy the government and take all the pieces. Once you accept that, what they’re doing becomes clear.

mlamb.bsky.social•6 days ago

The majority of Veterans ignored their own best interests and voted for cuts to their healthcare and benefits.

redwine59.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes

There was also the dumbfucks that ignored our warnings of Project2025 then “protest voted” against Harris & allowed fascism to win; against their own best interests, electing Trump to help Netanyahu erase the Palestinians from Gaza and history.

Trump exists in politics because of never-Hilary Democrats who stomped their feet and held their breath because they didn't get Bernie. Well, they got Trump, MAGA, Trump 2, etc... good job Democrats

lakebiglake.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah this is Democrats’ fault. Thanks Fox News.

Yup.

Between aid being cut off + Trump greenlighting Gaza's full destruction, the suffering is 10 fold.

judgeq.smokefleet.net•6 days ago

Yup.
But the “Harris is worse than Trump for Gaza” crowd couldn’t see past their own hate, stupidity, & selfishness.

And there’s many that didn’t. We don’t deserve this. Just like many in the US didn’t vote for Trump and don’t deserve his shit.

itspazuzu.bsky.social•6 days ago

Republicans only care for veterans as a talking point. "why spend on X overseas when we could spend that money on our veterans?", knowing full well they have no plans to help veterans.

And on all the Reddit subs some are finally waking up and seeing the truth.

Let’s stop sugarcoating it—MAGA Republicans are sociopaths. Antisocial, amoral, and proudly detached from reality. They’ve crossed the line from political movement to dangerous pathology. It’s time intelligent America calls them exactly what they are.

They are sociopaths. Don’t forget it.

Trump's greatest personal achievement will be killing the veterans who had the guts to serve.

Have you experienced setbacks in your care or benefits amid the changes at the Department of Veterans Affairs? ProPublica wants to hear from you.

alpacapathfinder.bsky.social•6 days ago

Do you? You want to hear about how DOGE firing probationary workers cost our new VA in Middle GA to lose out on X-ray techs so I can’t get an MRI for TBI because I can’t get the required X ray to start the process?

alpacapathfinder.bsky.social•6 days ago

Dublin would be the closest location and they’re not open on weekends or extended hours so vets have to take a work day off to drive hours across the state to get X rays.

indylu.bsky.social•6 days ago

Let congress hear from you. For gods sake do not let trump have a military parade

notimeforbs.bsky.social•6 days ago

It breaks me seeing people like those at Pro Publica doing real work to make a difference, but knowing it'll get 1/20th the attention of some influencer making a snarky comment to a picture of a post.

Sometimes I just don't understand any of this.

conscientiousice.bsky.social•6 days ago

The Republican Party hates our military personnel, veterans, civil servants, and their families, especially the children.

jbandeen.bsky.social•6 days ago

My ex-father-in-law served in the army. Was in Japan during the Bay of Pigs monitoring radar. The military doesn't recognize his service, claims he never served even though he has all his paperwork, including honorable discharge papers. Instead of getting benefits, he's living SS check to SS check.

joanne2255.bsky.social•6 days ago

How can the Trump administration think it’s ok to take away veterans benefits! Wrong

ltahab.bsky.social•6 days ago

Cadet Bonespurs is showing us just how much he "loves" the troops.

gettoffmyperch.bsky.social•6 days ago

Veterans have earned the best healthcare the US can buy, and yet the current administration seems to think otherwise. On another note, a selfish one, the last thing I want to see is a veteran trained in destruction to feel hopeless with nothing to lose. Frankly that's terrifying.

But let’s have a parade, shall we? Anyone? Anyone?? 🙄

marymademary.bsky.social•6 days ago

I would be interested in knowing if those now working with ICE see themselves as an extension of the military (in addition to being some kind of law enforcement ), and if so, what do they conclude from T.2’s treatment of veterans.
