Still angry beyond words.
These eight spineless skunks should never work in government again. They disgrace themselves, their states, their party and their country.
See my pinned post for a more robust analysis of how little *conceivable* justification there could ever be for what they did.

A reminder: Trump has mocked captured veterans (McCain), and those who died defending you (those lost at Bellevue Wood in WW1 - "suckers" and "losers").
If you side with Trump on veterans, YOU hate the troops

Had to turn off @msnbc.com because they had John Fetterman on. The impulse to throw a shoe at the douchebag was too strong.
He's not worth having to replace my TV.

He's making it up as he goes along. No way he'd ever put enough money into our accounts to come close to covering our healthcare costs.
In other words, his plan is for us to go broke and die.

Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.
Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.
Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.
Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

Erase "bipartisanship" with the GOP. They define the word as "cave to us and our dear leader."
The eight Neville Chamberlains betrayed the thousands of government workers who have held out, the SNAP beneficiaries who have faced starvation, and the millions of Democrats who supported this fight. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

It’s not enough to simply thank our veterans for their service.
Millions of them rely on SNAP and the ACA.
Many struggle with PTSD and worry about access to mental health services.
Today, on Veterans Day, let’s renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who fought for us.
