Poster speaks for itself. 20 yr. veteran against Trump, and loser independent who voted for Nixon and McCain, but still smart enough to vote Democrat the rest of the time.

One MAGA called me a Muslim Democrat for demeaning Trump as a wouldbe Hitler. I am actually an Evangelical preacher who actually believes in following the teachings of Jesus, so I could never be a Republican worshiping Billionaires while taking money and healthcare from the poor. He worships...

Remember when you see the fake photo ops of Trump laying the wreath and honoring veterans what he really thinks: "Suckers and losers" because they couldn't dodge the draft like he did. John McCain was not a hero because "he got caught". There is no honor in or from Trump. Don't be fooled MAGA!

MAGA folks in tears as Trump honors vets. He certainly should honor the veterans who went in his place while he dodged the draft with fake injuries/illnesses. Best doctor and lawyers his Daddy's money could buy. But, he is fine now that the threat of Vietnam's not there.

Fetterman, please resign, and quit pretending to care about people when you helped sign the death warrants of an estimated 50,000 Americans a year who you helped lose their healthcare. If you would just shut up, and quit putting down Democrats, it would at least help.

The greatest governor of the State of Alabama, George Wallace, would have called me a "pointed-headed intellectual" in his early days. At least I am not MAGA ignorant enough to think that the George in front of the admissions office was better than the one apologizing in the Black church.

It takes a lot of gall, Donnie, to have a photo op with a veteran after DODGING THE DRAFT THREE TIMES AND GUTTING THE VA!

On Bessent promoting tarrifs, what he doesn't explain is that the greatest gains in deficit spending come from the Republican administrations of George W. Bush and Donald Trump. The last balanced budget was under Bill Clinton, and he needed no tarriffs, just made the rich pay their share of taxes.

Skip Hop Jump hit the nail on the head. Every budget crisis Republicans promise they will address critical health and welfare issues important to all, if only they pass a short fix. Just as Lucy promised not to pull the football away each year, they lied. Will Dems continue to be Charley Brown?

Trumpcare - give people $2000 to pay for a hundred thousand dollar bill for surgery, hospital stay and chemo followup. Yeah, that'll work. NOT!

I still underestimate the stupidity of Trump and his nieve followers. Sounds good . Give $2000 to the people. He gets short bounce in the economy. They will not buy insurance with it. Insurance rates go up, and the Americans who spent it to live good short time, die anyway!

My hat is off to my fellow veterans today, especially those who served in combat. In my twenty years I served with some great men and women, as communications chief, combat engineer drill instructor, and yes, on a McClellan saddle with B Troop 4th Calvary. Love you guys.

Fetterman, you Dummy, it's is the country your party supports when they were trying to prevent an estimated 50,000 Americans a year dying because, unlike you, they had the guts to try to save those Americans, whereas you just killed them traitor! The Republican party supports the rich not country.

Don't gloat Fetterman, you have killed an estimated 50,000 Americans a year by not insisting they must keep their healthcare. You make me ashamed to be a member of a party with so many gutless leaders who fail to stand up for regular Americans.

$2000, yeah, and I have land in Florida and a nice bridge in New York for sale cheap! Even his commerce secretary does not believe it! Would you buy a used car from this guy?

Why is it only the Democrats who have to cave? There were a number of Republicans ready to open the government, but a handful of Democrats nievely decided to believe a party of known liars who have a track record of trying to kill the ACA, killing an estimated 50,000 Americans.

I imagine an advisor of the "king" saying, "Low approval ratings? Let's 'wag the dog' and attack some country that never attacked us like Venezuela or Nigeria. Hey, it worked for Bush Jr.!" Of course, he don't have the guts to help Ukraine. Regime change? Start with Putin!

"95%...happy..Trump" Was that on Fox or Newsmax or a poll of MAGA SUPPORTERS? Reputable polls have him at his worst disapproval rating of two terms. You guys really do live in a dark, evil fantasy world. Come to Jesus and act like real Christians; start loving America instead of a wouldbe Hitler.

MAGA's are asking if Trump should get a third term. Sure, but only if Obama can run against him. Not even a contest. I believe Bill Clinton could beat him! Even Hillary would wipe the floor with him!

Johnson claims his party is working hard to keep prices low. It is Republicans, beholding to billionaires and large corporations, who are working every day and delivering on higher profits for their overlords by taking affordable food and healthcare from American citizens.

I noticed the MAGA's (or is it maggots), always calling for indictments of various Democrats for treason on X. Why? I didn't see Obama inciting insurrection against the Capitol on 1-6-21. Oh yeah, that was Trump committing treason wasn't it?

We should never get enough of "sleepy Donald" after all the trash talking he did against Joe. If you are getting too old for the job Donnie boy, resign!

What a fantasy: Trump caring for anybody or anything more than himself! It must be good to live in the MAGA universe and worry about nothing, until you either starve to death or get a serious illness and die after you pull your head out of the sand.

Turkey part 2. But mystery solved, the 2025 Trump Republican Thanksgiving basket had half the food of the 2024 Biden Democrat basket, so instead of 25% less, it was 25% higher cost. Just like Republicans to deliver less food and tell you that you are full. Somebody's full of it.
