Trump (as well as Hegseth and Musk) shits on Veterans yet again

The Most Efficient Government for Billionaires
is the one that doesn't exist

 Trumps disdain and utter disrespect for Veterans was apparent and palpable throughout his time in office last time and his disgusting run in 2024.

But, we are in the Era of Propaganda and Magical Thinking and people disbelieving the evidence in front of their own eyes.

Over the years, I've vainly hoped pointing out the repeated insults of wounded veterans, the despicable antics and desecration of Arlington National Cemetery, shitting on Medal of Honor recipients, along with reasoned commentary from distinguished Veterans would be enough to demonstrate to Veterans that Trump not only doesn't give a shit about them, he actively dislikes and hates Veterans.  

Trump's evisceration of the Veteran's Administration is not a new goal for Republicans who have always viewed active duty service members and Veterans as nothing more than pawns in their power game to destroy the United States of America and replace it with a Fascist Fundamentalist Nation.  The Second American Revolution as Project 2025 leader Kevin Roberts called it.

Contemporaneously, I received a letter from the VA apologizing for the repeated delays in processing my claim.  Some of this is my fault as I should have started a disability claim 20 years ago after serving in both Afghanistan and Iraq, but that's life.  Of course, if it wasn't for President Joe Biden pushing through the PACT Act I wouldn't have tried at all.

Slashing VA benefits and specifically cutting off disability for Veterans is a key component of the DOGE destruction of the Federal Government.

What the 2024 election demonstrated is evidence and policies don't matter.  At all.  We are in a fervor of fascist hatred and that fever is untouchable by anything other than direct harm.  I hope we can minimize the harm and I sincerely hope as little harm comes to innocent people in the Nation.  Republicans, unfortunately, do not share that hope and are already rounding up people.  Hopefully, continued resistance from upper level judicial and prosecutors and the growing ground-swell against MAGA can delay everything until we have a chance to vote in 2026.  Whether or not we will vote or if Republicans continued lies and the Corporate Media's continued efforts to keep their Beloved Leader DonOld Trump in power coupled with EloNazi Musk's destruction of the Government make that untenable or impossible is anyone's guess.
