To Trump and Musk they are numbers not people. MAGA wants to see the "refund" check Musk is hinting about so they are distracted by the "false" new possibility and don't care. It sounds more like a possible tax credit for certain income brackets with kids not a check.
The ones who voted for him probably did. Teenagers who join the military have been told since birth that people respect the troops. Republicans are finally making it clear that they don’t
Like the Farmers, it's hard to feel sorry for people in the military. I know I'm painting with a broad brush here, but everything I saw was that the military tended to support Trump. How, I don't know, starting with his bone spurs. If I'm wrong, apologies in advance.
The woman interviewed, Arielle Pines, is exceptionally well spoken. If the vast majority of people axed are as welll qualified and experienced, the government agencies will suffer tremendously.
The VA was already understaffed. Veterans will be hit especially hard.
Members of the military overwhelmingly voted for Trump and he is only doing EXACTLY what he campaigned on. Why did anyone think it was going to impact everyone but themselves?
Honestly, who these days is considered a brown person. I’ve seen posts where people claim Italians are POC. Musk just said anyone collecting government assistance is a parasite. Didn’t Nazi Germany make the same claim just before starting the death camps?
They are most certainly following the Nazi playbook. But I keep reminding myself that the American people want fascism so maybe this test run will be good long-term.
This is especially baffling since Trump constantly denigrates military members and thinks they are stupid for joining since there was nothing in it for them.
That is what baffles me. Before Trump was POTUS, CNN was blasted to bases and intelligence offices. Biden didn’t change it back. One more indication Biden didn’t take Trump seriously enough. He didn’t fire every Trump appointee either.
@joshtpm.bsky.social. keep focusing on the Republican $4.5 TRILLION tax cuts for the richest Americans that are being paid for by hurting the other 99%. Republicans and Fox aren't talking about those tax cuts so we must.
Spent the first 30 years of my life as a military brat and then a spouse. There are so many things this admin is doing that will ruin the lives of vets, active duty members and their families. I wish more people were screaming about this.
How gullible to have thought Mr. Bone Spurs would spare them due to their military service?! 🍊🤡’s done nothing but show consistent contempt for the US military!!!!
Didn’t a majority of military families vote R? Did they not pay attention to their rhetoric? Didn’t they know about Project 2025? None of this should be a surprise bc all the information was out there for everyone to read, see and hear. Willful ignorance?
It's something when you've the President saving his love bow; Elon Musk. By wanting to prosecute anyone who saids anything negative about him? Talk about weaponizing the justice department! " Nobody saids anything negative about my man!! Elon? Catch it!
Of the 50+ families the author spoke to I’d love to know how many voted for Trump. Folks are always ok with cuts somewhere else, suffering of others, but how many voted for a felon, racist and habitual liar for President. Fafo
I agree!
Unfortunately I have a friend who was a Bernie bro and all of a sudden she said she "does like some of Trump's goals like cutting waste" and I just want to slap her upside her head!!!
Seriously....
How does someone go from supporting Bernie to Trump?!!! 🤦
an easier leap than you would think. Def a certain segment (a very, very, very small one) of Bernie Bro's who dabble in misogyny and minor racism that I could see sliding over to Trump vs. Biden or Harris.
Yeah. This is something I’ve been waiting for and wish the media would report more. There is NO WAY you cut govt spending and don’t end up hurting veterans and military.
The replies expressing bafflement about how the military leans Republican and voted for Bonespurs, the senile decayed yam, despite all obvious indicators that he holds them in contempt, might consider just what aspects of their personalities & mindsets they feel are validated by GOP agitprop.

🤷🤦
You would have to be a real sucker and loser to have voted for him.

66% of Active Duty military voted for Trump.
-- Donald Trump
And the American people are caught up in "Shrug & Ignore Mode," sitting around waiting for their phone call or email.
This TrumpMusk Regime must be stopped.
NOW!
