We are watching a slow motion coup or a lightening fast hostile take over. I cannot tell which.
Mr Collins, whatever it means, you have my support.

I’m going with hostile takeover. Veterans are stressed enough without this unelected SOB sticking his aristocratic, inexperienced nose in their affairs. I know. My daughter is one and works for the VA.

For myself and other Vets the VA is the only stable and helpful institution we’ve had in our lives for a long time. If one of these assholes tries to get between us and the care that the VA provides, there will be problems.

If they try to get access to our records, or data to use for their own political or financial purposes. If elon and trump think they'll get veterans to roll over without fighting back they have completely lost their minds even more than the K hole elon was in last week

I truly hope someone tells them that, one of their sycophants gets the message thru to elon or trump. If you try to get between us and the only social institution that has genuinely given a fuck about us for the past two decades, I want them to tell me what they expect will happen next.

Doug Collins has the spine of an amoeba.
