Is it possible someone might arrive at a different conclusion than you, and NOT watch CNN etc? And is it possible the news outlets you enjoy are ALSO biased, just in a different way?

While I agree it was swept under the rug, which is disgraceful, doing it now is simply a distraction from the unbelievable corruption occurring now. And the simpletons will lap it up.

So for everything he's done, and not done, it comes down to ONE SINGLE ISSUE for you -- Israel? Wow, that's next level crazy.

OK, I assumed that as you seem to support his policies. To go back to the original question, what should happen to VA funding then?

So the guy who said I supported "tranny military members" is upset he's being tagged "with no evidence"? The guy who wrote "The pissraeli woman doesn't have a point because her country is a worthless parasite" is trying to take the intellectual high ground? 🤡🤡🤡 Besides all that, are you telling us you DON'T support Trump?

It's been interesting to watch the embassies slowly begin to push back against all the Thai bureaucratic nonsense. The U.S. stopped income letters in 2019, and a bunch of other stupid crap that some random Thai official mandated that the Embassy should waste time on. I hope they go after the marriage affidavit next and refuse to do that -- a huge waste of time and money.

It is, isn't it? Because they so hate it when they are written off as fascists, racists, deplorables, know-nothings, etc etc ad nauseum that you'd think they'd do differently, but in fact they're just as bad as the lefties. Again, also ironic as now they're forced to be either FOR veterans benefits and side with ACTUAL lefties, or be AGAINST veterans benefits and side with Der Gropenfuhrer. I didn't think my day could get any better, and yet here we are 🙂

Well, then, we add my being a "leftist" to the long list of things MAGAheads are wrong about. And, you had no suggestions about what SHOULD happen, which I knew would be the case. You guys are great at giving hysterical hot takes on stuff, and terrible at offering constructive solutions... much like the Orange Man himself.

Wow! America's military is 21,27,500!!!! So many! So few! Who knows?

Folk, you were wounded in combat? Respect to you.

One of the things I love about MAGAheads is it takes about 3 seconds for them to revert to "YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME? YOU'RE A LEFTIST!" when their fevered brains encounter cognitive dissonance. This makes you guys seem even dumber than before. OK, to put the conversation on a more serious note @captain_shane, what do you suggest should happen with VA funding, at a time when they're looking to massively cut government expenditures? More, less, the same?

So here's a wonderful dilemma... the Leftists are the ones supporting veterans, while the MAGAheads have to stay quiet on this lest they contradict the Fuhrer. What's a MAGA to do?

There's a kind of ironic justice here -- most of the vets I know want a ton of programs shut down that benefit other people and cheer on DOGE... and now they might have to pay a price too. If you know the hilarious meme, "Leopards Eating People's Faces Party," it fits here perfectly. Edit: Holy crap! VA employs nearly HALF A MILLION PEOPLE!

"The post... described the building as a place of constant surprises" That's a hilarious line.

Dude, you guys did the same thing with Biden.

MSM REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What I was going to say is that anything that doesn't fit in the narrative that far right websites feed them is immediately dismissed as "MSM FAKE NEWS"! Hilariously, the very first answer from @SunnyinBangrak immediately did that.

Nothing alleged about it, Frank. Trump does this too -- he'll go into meetings without key staff any other President would know he needs. An example, which is NOT alleged as I know a few of the people involved -- when Trump met with Putin in Helsinki, he specifically excluded his own U.S. Ambassador to Russia, Jon Huntsman, who was both a subject matter expert, Trump's personal representative to Moscow, and a Russian speaker. This would be troubling for any President to do, but Trump knows no foreign languages, knows nothing about foreign policy, knows nothing about the world outside of Manhattan real estate, and is brimming with unmerited self-confidence. It's a failure of leadership and ethics on an astonishing level, and undermines his agenda.

That would be preferable to a Florida real estate agent going in to negotiate with Putin on his own.

Do the bare minimum and do your own search. Putting your fingers in your ears and ignoring any information that doesn't conform to your standards is a really bad way to go through life. Yes, this stuff matters. Claiming "IT'S ALL AN MSM CONSPIRACY" when the truth is obvious not only makes you look like the dumbest guy on aseannow, it's exactly what the Biden people did. Karma WILL catch up to both you and your party...

Dude, you're so daft on this, it's incredible. It doesn't matter if something is being signed or not. Your entire understanding of what is happening depends on your adversary is telling you. Is THAT responsible governance? Is THAT smart diplomacy? I get it -- you worship the ground Trump walks on... but it's OK to admit even your hero gets it wrong sometimes.

I keep killing civilians? Wow. Not me, sister.

Judge, jury, and executioner, that's you. Actually, I've seen PLENTY of guys who "turn against the system" with exaggerations, outright lies, or missing information. So, no, I don't buy "then it did happen."

Thanks, but I'll put my reading comprehension against yours any day of the week -- and when everyone except you (and Higgot) understands the opposite of what you claim you meant -- you're the one with the problem. So let's clear it up once and for all -- tell us plainly-- you WEREN'T making a moral equivalence between the two? Here's your chance to show me I'm wrong and if I was I will own it. I already know what you'll do... but surprise me.

It blows like a fart, in this case. Glad you admit your original observation was wrong -- we all saw that.
