Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He loves the troops!
What is more dangerous, a Luigui or a Veteran Luigui?
I can't remember any recent veteran public murder/suicides that involved taking out baddies. For some reason my brain went right to the DC snipers, but again, no baddies
Another possibility is that the relatives of the affected veterans become Luigui
Couple postal shooters in Fort Hood Killeen in last decades. Before I moved there, someone shot up a Lubys restaurant, when I moved away some soldiers went nuts and shot up the base, two different instances of I remember correctly.
It depends on whether veteran Luigui is old or something is.
Or he could tax billionaires a little. This is a choice between veterans and billionaires. The billionaires will still be billionaires either way.
This has nothing to do with the federal budget. Congress already appropriated the money, this is just straight up evil.
It is worse than not making billionaires pay more. He is firing all these people as a pretext to giving billionaires more tax breaks because the government is more 'efficient'.
Loyal service to retire, poof, gone. What the hell are these guys supposed to do at 50?
Fucking LOL. “Loves the troops”.
But also, none of his supporters give a shit. He openly derides injured/captured/killed soldiers and veterans, but clearly that’s all “fake news”.
First Trump would criticize second Trump for treating veterans so poorly.
The VA is already understaffed, how is making them more understaffed going to make them more efficient?
There will be more predictable and consistent outcomes than any other presidency!
Eggs are gonna be $1/dozen!!
75d chess here, people!
do I need the /s?
Least one would expect from a draft dodger.
Insanity
This will go over well. Take that veterans, what did you ever do for your country anyway!
