I got the email from the VA that had a link to that video and before he even started talking I was mad because the video was posted on X. I guess X is our official government communication system now. Then I got pissed because he said the VA was the butt of jokes and it was time to stop kicking the can down the road. The VA was in shambles a while back, but they hired a bunch of people and it made a huge difference in wait times and quality of care. Then he said blah blah blah we're doing this so "get used to it." Get used to it? Who the fuck is this guy? We're veterans, not basic trainees. What do you mean "get used to it?" Fuck you Dougie Dumbshit, veterans know how to fight. Get used to that.

Why would you piss off the people who have been trained to use guns to kill people? Really shortsighted.

Veterans don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve it. America doesn’t deserve it. Let’s rally in St. Louis!!

Please get every member of Congress on the record whether they acquiesce to Putin.

Veterans voted in vast numbers for Trump and must accept the consequences. The only Americans who “don't deserve this” are veterans and civilians who didn't vote for Trump.

Great write up. Indeed, I’m one pissed off Army Retired Veteran. Pissed not just about the attacks against the VA & our pensions, but the whole of the attacks against the pillars of our democracy & the social safety nets that serve tens of millions to include Vets.

Add to that, I’m super pissed I might have to employ my SF combat skills here, in this my country, because of this Trump-DOGE-P2025 fuckery.

Anyways, when do we saddle-up & march?

Massive protests are being planned by Veterans for Washington and around the country for March 14-16. This video has the details. Since you're a Veteran they need your story too!! Please share if you can.

DOGE tech bros have never served anyone but themselves & now the nazi exploding rocket man & the Russia asset in the White House. These damn idiot traitors have no idea what it means to truly serve ones country with honor, sign a contract with Uncle Sam that involves giving of ones self, body & mind up to & including physical & mental injuries & death. Stripping the VA is going to stop & greatly delay vital services & health care that Veterans need & were promised. They couldn't care less & are treating us like cannon fodder & less than on another lie yet again & expect us to continue to say thankyou may I have another instead of fighting back.

Judging by that video of Habba, I'd say that the Chump satan uglies are coming out on her face. Next she'll look like Kimberly Guilfoyle. You pay a price when you join up with #Felon47. You sell your soul. 👹👿

I don’t even bother to read the emails he sends us because I know they’re full of propaganda and lies. Thanks for your synopsis. It was all I could do to get through the snippet of his video you added. I was just getting ready to hit stop when it ended because I had heard all I could stand.

We served our country to protect our freedoms and our democracy for crap pay and horrible hours. Many lost their marriages and families because of that. Many were wounded or worse. We lost friends. Our country promised we would be taken care of, and this is what we get? We all know he’s lying. My VA healthcare was way better than what I was getting with my private insurance so I had swapped over to only using the VA. We all know they just want to privatize so their buddies will get richer. They don’t care about us.

This Chickenshit Oathbreaker as well as his Mad King Boss and their Billionaire Puppetmaster are all bowing down to Putin. I joined the AF so that I would not have to learn to speak Russian or Chinese and they are bowing down to both of them.

We (us Veterans and Active Duty Servicemen and Women) are good enough to take a bullet, get body parts violently removed and subjected to toxic soups for them and suffer long term medical conditions for a lifetime, BUT, we are NOT good enough (in their minds) to F-ing Push Paper!!! F Them!!!

Is Musk the Communist adjacent Globalist Trump says treats America so poorly??. Musk generates 20 billion a year in Communist China and is in debt to Communist banks for almost 2 billion according to reports. It’s almost as though Musk wants to do harm to America? We don’t know— just asking the question .

I’m waking up to the same nightmares as I did when my family lost my brother in Vietnam in 1967.

I remember the pride of being the sister of a sky soldier.

He was also a “ tunnel rat”. The men who crawled into the tunnels with him were mostly black men.

today I wept because this president who doesn’t have a single cell of courage is trying to erase them.

I just don’t know what to do with the anger right now

“We also have another problem which Dubya Dick GWOT created. I did two tours in Iraq. Not with the grind as a trigger-puller, but with burden as a two-star level staff officer. I saw the unjustified war in Iraq from a very different perspective than generation Peter Hegseth….”

A simple, shocking, maddening and well-constructed explanation of the Trump regime’s corruption - just in the first six weeks since he took office. This is Senator Chris Murphy.

It’s an education everyone should have. It will change minds and create additional urgency.

Please take a few minutes to watch and listen, then re-stack.
