Ta, Marcie. Beloved husband Meccalopolis will be seven years away from being old enough for Medicare when he retires next year. We thought the VA would be the best choice until he's 65. We may need to rethink that. FFS!!
Trump is the epitome of the depressing idea that says government is entirely about wresting advantages for yourself and your little group from other groups. None of that nonsense about government and politics being about helping lots of people achieve the good life--what did Aristotle know anyway? (Trump has probably never heard of the man, so he doesn't matter.)
I joined the military so I could study history, fully knowing as a historian and now associate professor, I’d be a poor. Money never motivated me but as a disabled veteran who uses the VA almost weekly, I don’t even have bon money, maybe bo money but full bond money? I’d have to give a kidney as insurance.
Actually this is very logical, for a given definition of "logical." They are laying off many of the health providers in the system, so they need to also reduce the number of patients and what better method to use than bigotry? They are Repubs, after all. MAGAlomaniacs.
Given the way that Trump's order involving treatment of transgenders is framed that only groups protected by statute are shielded from being turned away, I would really like to think that this is a case of "malicious compliance," with the V.A. doing EXACTLY what they were told to do no matter how damaging and embarrassing the result is for the boss.
But...government flack is government flack. Even non-MAGA flacks are professional liars. It's what they do.
For a few hours on Saturday, amidst 30,000+ people in front of the capitol in St. Paul, MN, it was good not to feel completely powerless.
Taco and the GOP's unrelenting efforts to destroy America is exhausting
How does this square with the Hippocratic oath? Or do only loyalty oaths to Trump matter anymore? Why do people obey this crap?
The Onion continues as America's paper:

Every day is WTAF day.
First they came for a whole bunch of us and I did something.
Then they came for everybody they hadn’t already come for and whatever I did had zero effect.

There is no limit to the cruelty of this regime. No one is safe.

Doug Collins is an Antagonistic Weaponized Goober!
god, these freaking nutballs.
Every ragged breath you take
every stupid move you make
Every commandment you break, every flopping step you take
I'll be suing you
Jesus Fucking Christ
As a lesbian, Democratic, disabled veteran who also works at VA, I am fucking pissed.
Doug Collins can gargle rat balls, that aw-shucks-ing, tap-dancing lickspittle.
Mistakes were made
My comments were taken out of context
I'm resigning to spend more time with my family.
Weasel words.
