I am curious as to how you felt about Trump cutting healthcare support for veterans.

They sent us to those shite hole countries to fight these communist and terrorist and now we have Americans electing islamic supporters to congress and the senate. Something has to happen to change the way these idiots think. It's really sickening.


Bro you appear to missing the point entirely. What you just saw was Americans electing people who will stop sending Americans to fight and die in shite hole countries.

The folks you should be angry at are the people who keep voting for moar war.

exposing the 'war on terror' as just a lot of MIC bullshite.


It was a lot of MIC bullshite ...especially Iraq but it wasnt all bullshite. We did kill a lot of bad hombres with bad intentions and kept the homeland safe from Islamic terrorist attacks.

• Workforce Cuts: The administration has cut tens of thousands of VA positions and pushed plans targeting significant staff reductions across VA health facilities and crisis centers, leading to increased wait times for mental health care, research disruptions, and staffing shortages.
• Contract Terminations: Thousands of VA and veteran-related contracts were canceled or expired without immediate replacements, drawing heavy criticism from congressional Democrats and veterans' advocates.
• Home Loan Program Changes: The administration abruptly ended the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase (VASP) home loan modification program in May 2025, which advocates and reports noted left struggling veterans with fewer options to avoid foreclosure and facing higher monthly payments.
• Administration Defense: The administration and its supporters have pointed to executive actions—such as a September 2026 executive order aimed at accelerating access to benefits, opening new health facilities, and reducing average disability claims processing times—as efforts to modernize and streamline the VA.

I'd rather vote GOP than vote for communist and terrorist. There is no in between. It's good vs evil. Notice you do no see any looting or rioting today.


No, it's not good vs evil. It's slow rollout vs fast rollout but it's all evil, my friend.

no one who got elected is a communist or supports hamas that is you being stupid and brainwashed and racist.


They get all pissy when the left uses hyperbole calling everyone they disagree with ___phobes or ___ists, but are also quick to call everyone communists and Islamists when its convenient to their argument.

You did fight for nothing. Signing up for the military was a noble thing, but the decision makers in Washington are not noble people who hold the best interests of soldiers and citizens at heart.

Hate to tell you it’s gonna get worse. Socialism has a 43% favorability rate the highest ever US. The scary part is among 18-34 year olds it is even higher at 55%. Democrats view it 65% favorable vs only 35% that favor capitalism. Independents have a 45% favorable view and Republicans 15%. These are according to Time magazine. We are clearly at the beginning of a Socialist takeover of the US. If you really want to have fun look up the DSA platform. First thing is get rid of the Constitution, Congress and the SCOTUS.

Daughters post college aged friends are cheering free healthcare and loan forgiveness is finally on the horizon.

They feel like they are shedding the shackles of slavery.
