when black athletes kneel in silent protest against police brutality, they are somehow 'disrespecting the troops', but when trump puts his mar-a-lago buddies in charge of privatising the department of veteran affairs, the right wing couldn't care less...

this is a great article on one of the many ways trump misuses the presidency to personally enrich himself by selling influence and political power:

inb4: 'fake news', 'source not trustworthy', 'this is fine', 'but hillary / obama', 'heinrich nazi something'...

What's your obsesionada with America, buddy?

any veterans that thought Trump would fix the VA deserve what they got, then again HRC wasn't going to fix it either. the VA is a shitshow, and needs a complete overhaul. no candidate has seriously suggested we overhaul it in a long time.

He secretly wishes he was an American. It's the key element for the foundation of his irrational and irrelevant rage. He probably stays up every night watching old westerns in a cowboy hat and crying himself to sleep to the thought of meeting a nice american woman to take care of him.

bolded: welcome to politics? As if this is any real news to anyone. People need to stop acting like Trump is an anomaly; he serves you shit knowingly, would you really rather another politician lie and tell you you're eating steak?

News flash:
The rest of the world laughs at the US.
They have been.
We do a lot of things backwards and make no fking sense sometimes.

“Fix” insinuates that there would no longer be any problems. That’s virtually impossible. however he did recently sign legislation that does indeed pave the way for some major overhaul & expands access for vets to VA-funded care in the private sector

We're also the most prosperous nation by far.

They can laugh all they want, why the fuck should you or I care if fools like fender and saucy laugh? I'll enjoy all that this lovely country has to offer. We're far from perfect, and the US does some really stupid shit but there is a reason people come here.

Run along now child, drink some more of the "US is a monster. people laugh at us" Koolaid.

I mean, I chose to serve the US, but I’m not ignorant in world-views and reality.
Good job.

Trump is privatizing the VA, they deserved it
/e: and Mexico will pay for it
ty for all this fun
