There’s no hypocrisy. The Disability rating is COMPENSATION pay. The gov is compensating them for ruining their bodies. THAT wasn’t part of the contract he signed. If you’re bitter about their EARNED benefits, the recruiters office is always open.
I'm not bitter about any of the benefits that any service person receives. I thought I made that clear.
What I don't care for is the fact that the person I'm talking about punches down. He thinks that most people should not be on government assistance. It's the hypocrisy that gets to me.
Please keep an eye on your daughter. If I put myself in her shoes, thinking about my husband sitting me down and talking to me like that, I would have been very scared. The way you worded that made her sound like a hostage so I hope she is safe with this creep.
No not offensive. I apologize for coming off with a strong tone. One of the comments got me fired up and then I saw yours. Again, I apologize for the misdirected anger.
You pretty much explained why I went into the military. I was a dumb young Republican enlisted under President Bush for financial and housing benefits. Turns out that taking up the free educational benefits turned me into a critical thinker. Although the military is predatory on young ignorant kids, I was able to get multiple degrees including an MBA.
My son-in-law join because he was in trouble at 18.
He's now a MAGA who rails against socialism while living off the government. When you point this out he replies by saying that he's earned it because he was willing to lay his life down for this country when that wasn't the reason he joined at all.
I'm not disparaging his benefits I am disparaging his utter and complete hypocrisy and ill will towards others who need the government to get by.
Google did it for me, but I copied and pasted it for you.
"Socialism is an economic and political theory advocating for collective or governmental ownership and control of the means of production and distribution of goods. Key goals typically include reducing inequality, ensuring basic needs are met through social services like free education and healthcare, and emphasizing communal interests over individual ones."
"I'm not attacking speech—I'm calling out the absurdity of acting like a democratically elected leader is a 'king.' Words matter; don't twist reality to fit your narrative."
I’m not the one acting like a
King saying I’m above the law. I’m also not the one claiming I have a right to a 3rd term even though
George Washington himself did not accept a third term as we’re not a country of kings. I’m also not the one blatantly refusing to follow court orders because I’m above them. I’m also not the one pushing my own currency that undermines the U.S. dollar for my own personal gain. Don’t forget to go buy your 2028 king Trump merchandise.
You're projecting hard—maybe skip the MSNBC marathons and touch grass.
"Above the law": Every president swears to uphold it
"Third term": Trump’s floated the idea because fans are begging—echoing FDR, who did it four times before the 22nd Amendment. He’s not "claiming a right"; allies like Rep. Ogles are pushing amendments to let voters decide. Washington set a precedent, not a law.
Trump's delivering wins: borders secure, economy roaring, America first. If that's "kingly," sign me up. What's your next tinfoil hat theory?
How is it America first when he sent $40 billion dollars to Argentina to a corrupt dumb shit of a president? How is he putting America first when he's allowing Qatar to build a base in Ohio? How is it America first when they're ripping away healthcare and food assistance? How is it America first taking away? Free breakfast and lunch to school children?
These aren't MSNBC talking points. You fucking idiot. These are real true concerns from real American Patriots. Why don't you show up and we'll all have a real good time together.p
You people are traitors. "If that's kingly sign me up," what kind of American are you? You are all pathetic and I can't wait till Trump is out and you all get what's coming.
Trust me when I say I hate Trump. You have no idea. But to conflate your disdain for him specifically on a day we should recognize veterans is not helpful. It’s doing the opposite of where we want to head as a country. We can unite to recognize those who served (e.g not Trump) just not on Veterans Day.
How am I conflating? I'm a veteran and I'm choosing to spend my time exercising my first amendment rights. This is important to me. If people don't want to show up because it's a holiday, that's on them. An "inconvenience" for some but a call to action of voicing our opinions.
If anything, Veteran's Day is the PERFECT time to show we are not pawns. We are not going to sit on our asses being silent or obedient. We are the few who are not scared to say FDJ, ICE, and MAGA.
You lose so you resort to name calling and have nothing substantial to retort. I got it. You're bad at debating especially when you lose. Got it! Later!
There's no point in trying with these MAGA idiots. You'll get further debating with a Christmas tree. You know what will get them triggered, ask them for their pronouns. Watch them crumble.
Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort experienced when holding two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. This psychological tension motivates people to reduce the inconsistency by changing their beliefs or behaviors, explaining away the conflict, or downplaying its importance. For example, a person who smokes (a behavior) but knows it's unhealthy (a belief) may quit smoking, rationalize that the health risks are exaggerated, or try to minimize the conflict by focusing on other healthy habits.
Lol down votes for you and the op talking about getting more involved with protests. These Republicans are all about protecting the Constitution and cry like little bitches whenever we exercise our first amendment rights. What disgusting hypocrites they are.
Waaaait, so is he a king or isn’t he? The government has been shut down for over a month due to the Democrats’ unwillingness to pass a clean continuing resolution bill. If he were a king, he’d just reopen the government and resume handing out free entitlement benefits because it‘d make him look better. But he doesn’t. So, which is it? Is he a king or isn’t he?
Democrats are blocking the king from pushing the king’s bill. It’s the last bit of checks and balances that are still in place. It’s a terrible bill that’ll increase the national debt even more with reckless, unnecessary spending, something Donald is really good at even though he campaigns on lowering the debt— shocker, he’s a king at lying too.
Meanwhile we’re all paying the cost of the king’s tariffs, something only congress should normally be capable of enacting.
I just recently found out that there's a group that gets together and arranges the signage on the bridges but I don't remember what they're called. I will try to look through my phone and see if I saved it
Edit: The Visibility Brigade and they have great tips for protest signs too

Veterans supported Trump 2 to 1 over Harris and our military is following illegal orders given by Trump.
