1000 workers have been fired from Dept. of Vet Affairs, including veteran Andrew Lennox who was actively serving NW Ohioans at the VA. Andrew served as a marine in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria — he, and the fellow veterans he serves, deserve so much more. The indiscriminate, illegal cuts must stop. - ThreadSky

Looks like you and Senator Murkowski are on the same wavelength:

So what exactly is your plan to address this?

sharonpalmerhamm.bsky.social•2 days ago

If those fired are Trumpers they will probably get a job back before a Democrat does. It is probably in the fine print.

This is what happens when a corrupt, incompetent asshole and his cabal are elected to office. Feeling the Great, #MAGATs?

@idahocapitalsun.com Vets in Idaho time to gather!
This administration DOES NOT have your interests!
@mikecrapo.bsky.social Silence as the vets in Idaho are being squashed?! Shame on you!

He told everyone exactly what he thought of veterans, and women, and the disabled, and immigrants, farmers, except musk, and the police and yall still voted for him

alecw81.bsky.social•1 day ago

reminder: only 31.8% of American voters actually voted for Trump.

hdill.bsky.social•1 day ago

And this Vet wasn’t one of them!

katemhs27.bsky.social•1 day ago

Those who abstained, voted for trump

bellamyj.bsky.social•1 day ago

No, they did not.

bellamyj.bsky.social•1 day ago

I didn't abstain, before you start.

I hope the active military remembers all this when they receive unlawful orders from King Trump.

This is what they fought to protect. Corporate oligarchy. I know they never thought it would come for them, but it comes for all of us sooner or later.

What on earth did anyone expect from? #PresidentBoneSpurs? He openly insulted former POW, and Republican John McCain, he mocks Gold star families, what did anyone think he was going to do with the veterans affairs? Serious question

The biggest con job in this country’s history will be the way the GOP hijacked the American Flag and the Bible to court all of the people that worship both.

Let me guess... He voted for Trump and is now in the FAFO Stage.

I wish someone would stop all this chaos- I thought we had checks and balances? It seems like republicans are just laying down and not listening to the people !! I wish they would do something to stop this- anybody??

elizaacherontia.bsky.social•2 days ago

I keep seeing "the [insert newest despicable orders from a nazi dictatorship here] needs to stop" and then I read about another, and another, and another. I'm just wondering at what point our government will actually stop him. At what point do we say "enough is enough" and hold him accountable?

I tried to warn veterans that they'd be coming for vets too. Alas, they voted for Trump anyway, most of them.

This post contains misinformation. Most judges have stated that Elon Musk's cuts related to DOGE are not illegal.

lucilleiii.bsky.social•2 days ago

Who did they vote for? And are they pleading for someone to save only their jobs while he continues to harm others?

spursiceman.bsky.social•1 day ago

The MAGAITES and the South African Nazi fail to comprehend the factual information that a 1/3 of government agencies have Veterans employed as government employees! These Veterans chose public service to continue contributing to the United States 🇺🇸! The 🦧 &musk r fucking Veterans & Americans 🖕u!

tomvdr.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agreed. Hopefully it will be FVFO (F with the VA and Find Out) I remain skeptical. I am all in for veterans, Musk and Trump don’t give a rats ass about them.

If you are a vet and voted for Trump the Double Agent Orange "YOU ARE A SUCKER AND A LOSER" I guess that's a FACT

alicehagen.bsky.social•1 day ago

I guess members of the military should realise that as veterans you are just collateral damage

fuckisrael42.bsky.social•1 day ago

They’re attempting to rehire our colleagues but the reality is that no one is doing anything to stop this. So there’s that. Fascism requires actual resistance which is not happening so. Yeah we’re proper fucked.

They voted for him, and they can live with the consequences. I hope they eviscerate the entire state.

thenut1870.bsky.social•2 days ago

2.53 million Ohioans voted for Harris. She carried the biggest county (Lucas) in Kapur’s district, which is also one of the most reliably Democratic counties in Ohio.

Lots of Vets, my father in law with cancer included rely on the VA and hate Trump. They don’t deserve this.

Go fuck yourself.

nonplussed12.bsky.social•2 days ago

Most probably didn't vote at all, judging by the national numbers. People pay for their mistakes. I know I have. Now they can eat shit for even THINKING about voting for this monster who aided an insurrection and caused the deaths of over 160,000 by blowing off Covid. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all.

standup2fascism.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’ve done “leopards getting fat” and FAFO jokes, too, but this is getting serious, fast. For democracy to survive, we MUST welcome those hurt by and angry at the King of Dumbfuckistan. Yes, even those who were stupid or lazy or misogynistic/racist in November. (🤢🤮 but true) Democracy > my feelings

deefromfl.bsky.social•2 days ago

troubleonfleur.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not this time. Most veterans voted for Trump. Period. I hope they all get exactly what Trump promised. The stupidity of the Trump voter isn't my problem.

standup2fascism.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s everyone’s problem, now.

nonplussed12.bsky.social•2 days ago

The bigger the hurt, the bigger the backlash. Less than 22 months to midterms. Our only way out. But we are a reliably stupid country.

standup2fascism.bsky.social•2 days ago

Made stupid by design. I can’t see this being sustainable for another 22 mos. His disapproval rating is up 10 points already. The time is coming for mass economic boycotts and another March on Washington.
