Trump is firing Veterans—and VoteVets’ Max Rose just met with six of them on the Hill.

These Veterans served this country, believed we’d have their backs. Instead, Trump threw them aside.

Imagine how small you have to be to use our cherished veterans and their families to finance tax cuts for the wealthiest among us.

The VA nearly killed me back in 2014 making me wait for an emergency operation. They are now making veterans wait for disability 6 months to a year. If you're a Trump supporting veteran, which I am not. What do you think the plan for this is, maybe our deaths?

davidlbeem.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wait until she finds out that the VA has to pay disability compensation to veterans if they are "not fit to have a job"...

green4you.bsky.social•3 days ago

I can’t believe she had the audacity to make a comment like that about our veterans.

davidlbeem.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think the Bar Association will have a discussion on her fitness to be a lawyer at some point...

green4you.bsky.social•3 days ago

It should have happened already. But better late than never…if they ever get the opportunity.

Someone should remind Ms. Parking Garage Lawyer (as Tiedrich refers to her) that rather than attempt what she might consider a witty answer, it's often better to say nothing at all. QUITE often, in her case.

Remember the Bonus Army
Veterans camped at Anacostia during the depression asking for their money early out of Desperation?

Generals MacArthur and Patton led the charge to breakup the march and Veterans were fired on. One man Killed

This has the same climate

Where are the masses of veterans to share with Americans on the impact of the betrayal? Put full page ads in papers, social media & tv blasts with Vet stories, Vet orgs, protests, meetings with local legs, etc. Be VISIBLE! Rally the troops. We are with you.

purplelily25.bsky.social•3 days ago

And a lot of these vets voted for him because they thought he was gonna take care of them, but they forget he thinks all people that join the military are suckers and hates the disabled

csmith24.bsky.social•3 days ago

Those who voted for Harris always had their backs. It’s the ones who vote for Trump and are GOP legislators who never did. But they told you that the first time Trump was in office.

What did you expect from a draft dodger? He thinks those who served are losers.

I just watched the congressional hearing with the Veterans Service Organizations yesterday and hear what the veterans had to say. They explicitly said current VA services are inadequate and further cuts would be harmful. This is enraging. @marktakano.bsky.social

No Vet can trust Trump.

susansp4.bsky.social•1 day ago

No one should be surprised that Trump screwed them. The writing has been on the wall forever.

"I support the troops" has always been a conservative lie.

Truly sad how relevant CCR's "Fortunate Son" still is...

It's time for Jefferys to step aside and house Dems to find a leader with a backbone.

blueskydriving.bsky.social•3 days ago

FAFO. The smart veterans knew. The rest got addicted to Fox News’ lies, distortions, and propaganda.

ofslats.bsky.social•3 days ago

Who’d they vote for?

its-albert.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well, Follow me and find out.

Republicans do not own the Veterans. Democrats should never concede that to them.

Veterans like all American people are a diverse group.

Thanks Max for hearing me.

dbdant.bsky.social•3 days ago

My depressed Airborne Ranger Vet spouse just told me, "I feel like don't belong in this country any more."

green4you.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m so sorry 😞 Please tell him that the PEOPLE they have fought for certainly appreciate their sacrifices. Even republican citizens do. It’s the legislature that does not.

fleetlife.bsky.social•3 days ago

Im sorry. We the people are all still here, and appreciate their service. Wish you both the best

n-anne.bsky.social•3 days ago

No vet who has fought to protect the rest of us, should ever feel like her husband does. Shame on our "leader" who doesn't lead but rather tears people down. This is our country and this is our land. We have to fight for it.

lisateach5.bsky.social•3 days ago

i feel the same. i am a retired teacher and I can’t believe people are putting up with all this lawless behavior.

its-albert.bsky.social•3 days ago

Please tell your spouse to keep up. We are here and will speak for them.

They should feel like they belong in this country.

The Country doesn't deserve thoer sacrifice

dbdant.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thanks. Trump's attacks on the VA really got to him.

its-albert.bsky.social•3 days ago

Understood. If he needs to talk he can DM. 2 of the Vets with us this week are illegally fired VA employees

dbdant.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thanks.

eddie0028.bsky.social•3 days ago

Does it make a difference if they voted for him? Yes it does for me.

eddie0028.bsky.social•3 days ago

I for one will never forget or forgive the people who voted 3rd or never bothered to vote for Harris.

europahoy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Off topic but when I clicked to view the VA directors' message to explain firing 72,000 associates, I was directed to X. WTF, insult to injury.

personaluse.bsky.social•3 days ago

I feel tremendous sadness for all Veterans.

I also believe, after the age of 25 we all need to have built a skillset that allows us to identify liars.

triciac.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump has no respect for any military considering he dodged the draft. I truly believe he doesn't really have much respect for the US at all, only what he can get out of it. He is not a patriot.

tommyrayray.bsky.social•3 days ago

For years, we’ve known that Trump DOES NOT support veterans. Never has. Indeed he has signaled his disdain for them. And now he’s gutting the VA!

This is all fact.

Yet, all Trump has to do is SAY he supports vets, and MAGA is all “yeah! He loves us. We’ll vote for him.” Astonishing.

mary-jane1.bsky.social•3 days ago

Vets remind him of the coward he is.

pity63.bsky.social•3 days ago

Shameful! And so many Veterans support him!

Ol’ anti American bone spurs doesn’t have a clue about patriotism or support for our country. He’s a traitor and a communist. (Also stupid and a coward)

argovela.bsky.social•3 days ago

At this point in Trump 2.0, it's better not to assume anyfuckingthing is gonna get better.

Unless you're a billionaire, and then nevermind.

Check out Senator Jeff Merkley on Veteran issues.

"Under a bus" you could also say. He is pure evil

alexanderr.nafofellas.com•3 days ago

Not only is he firing veterans, he is opening up those allied nations they defended to invasion by Russia. Lines on the map that countless service members have stood watch over since WW2.

All for naught, according to Trump.

richierichard.bsky.social•3 days ago

It occurred to me that pissing off veterans, who are all weapons trained, might be the wrong group to pick on. Someone whose lost everything and feels like they have nothing more to lose is someone I wouldn't want to piss off.

But what do I know. I'm just an observer.

boomdrummer.bsky.social•3 days ago

If your rep or senator didn’t walk out of the SOTU call them!!

Fuck being nice.

Bitch them out for being spineless

Signs are not brave or serious

Unprecedented Times REQUIRE unprecedented ACTIONS

Every single fucking dem should have walked out one after the other once Al Green was booted

Disgrace isn't a strong enough word for how his regime treats our veterans.

greggesimmons.bsky.social•1 day ago

Absolutely spot on. I’m glad that none of my WW2 Vet relatives are alive to see this vile treatment of people at the hands of these Fascists.

jcgeno.bsky.social•1 day ago

Same here. Multiple generations of my family have served our country, back to the Revolutionary War. (I have their service records thanks to ancestry web sites) They would be so unbelievably disappointed in what is happening right now.

greggesimmons.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Exactly, down to both sides in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War.

You mean the ILLEGITIMATE russian asset that stole our election that the Dems then handed power to, that called troops "suckers & losers"?
That tangerine taint?

He does not care, he thinks NOTHING about veterans. So many AMERICANS do not understand the lack of concern for our men and women who have served our country.
