On the federal employment application there are extra points assigned to veterans so their application moves to top of pile for non skill based jobs. So the 30% is actually down from when the Vietnam vets were career.

Why are the Dems not doing more.

They are doing what they CAN do. They have very little power.

rodneynookey.bsky.social•10 days ago

Or let the veterans stay fired and worry about themselves until midterm. Why give republicans a off ramp for their next term unpopular policy lol

perrymonster.bsky.social•9 days ago

So you want to play politics with vets just like the GOP?

rodneynookey.bsky.social•9 days ago

It’s not the democrats responsibility, they aren’t in charge of anything. Stop making excuses for republicans. More veterans vote for republicans than democrats. Maybe they will switch their vote but highly doubt it.

Why are democrats wasting time on constituencies that never support them?

perrymonster.bsky.social•9 days ago

Perhaps they’ll support Dems if they can get their jobs back.

hobbidysparks.bsky.social•9 days ago

Like after the Clinton boom? After the Great Recession? After Covid?

Veterans hate Democrats for cultural reasons

Losing jobs can cause people to reassess their outlook.

He is a disgrace and should be impeached and removed.

Suckers and losers was the trump quote

Trump loves to wrap himself in the flag, but when it comes to actual veterans, he treats them like disposable obstacles. Firing those who served while stacking the government with cronies tells you everything about his “patriotism.”

Beyond disgraceful!

sobrienmusic.bsky.social•10 days ago

the question is whether they served just to find none of the GQP have the balls to support and vote for the bill (along w/whether the Democrats will all support it)...

kind of reminds me of how every time there's a sensational murder, legislators declare "how could this happen? We must make this kind of murder even more illegal."

Trump's firing of veterans without congressional authorization was already a crime.

That’s good but it wouldn’t go anywhere without public pressure

Republicans will gladly vote against protecting Veterans. They do not care who they hurt and who they drive to despair and suicide. They will laugh at the suffering of veterans. It is what they do and what they are

marcychestnut.bsky.social•10 days ago

No, but many of them voted for him

In short, removing the VA would lead to significant challenges for veterans, both in terms of access to services and their long-term well-being. It would also have broader implications for society, in terms of healthcare costs and social stability.

Not just traditional veterans, you have no IDEA how many black ops guys were rewarded with cushy lifetime federal gigs as reward for fighting secret wars. It’s only a matter of time before Elmo axes the wrong operator.. It’s no wonder he wears a bulletproof vest and child shield everywhere he goes.

danlooker.bsky.social•10 days ago

Most of them voted for trump. Let them have what they wanted.

pissedoffvet.bsky.social•10 days ago

Don't categorize all of us, i sure the fuck didn't vote for that pos..

danlooker.bsky.social•10 days ago

Of course not all of them. Only 65% of them.
