'Slap in the face': Veterans group shreds Trump VA cuts on Memorial Day

[bannork]

Political action committee VoteVets spent Memorial Day targeting the administration of President Donald Trump over significant cuts it imposed at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

"Gutting VA will result in delayed appointments and substandard care, leading directly to more veteran deaths. In fact, as reports and internal documents now prove, Elon Musk's wrecking ball is causing systems to fail, putting veterans at risk," said Kayla Williams, Iraq Veteran and senior policy advisor at VoteVets, in a post on X. 

In addition to cutting agency contracts, Newsweek reports administration officials are reducing the VA workforce by 82,000 staffers, which is nearly 20 percent of the agency.

Trump fires off Memorial Day message targeting 'SCUM' who sought to 'DESTROY' the US
The president asserts the nation 'WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN!'

 

The president, who posted the all-caps tirade on Monday morning, called out the "SCUM" who he said had attempted to destroy the nation.

 

"HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE, THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN — ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY.

Remind me of some of the rhetoric from the dems. Lets see.... Hitler, Nazi, racist, white supremacist, threat to democracy, dictator... theyve used plenty more.

From the VoteVets donation page:

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are attacking everything we've worked for. They're breaking the law, violating the Constitution, and harming our National Security.

This is an MSN story. There is no such biased material on the VoteVets site.

 

 

[ChicagoExpat]

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!

Garbage partisan nonsense.

 

"VoteVets elevates the voices of Veterans and military families through PROGRESSIVE legislative policies and electoral endorsements that impact the lives of active service members, Veterans, and the country.

[captain_shane]

Every endorsed candidate is a democrat or rino. I thought leftoids sought out unbiased sources?

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?

From the above FoxNews link:

So any judge who issues a ruling against the Trump administration is a USA HATING JUDGE.

Noted.

As a Disabled Vet who relies on the Veterans Administration to stay alive,

I object strongly to Musk and Kranov's reduction in staff, programs, and funding.

I earned my patriotism with blood. I enlisted. I gave my country 110% when it asked me to do so, and nearly paid with my life. So many did pay. So many came back broken.

Do you think it's right or moral to take away the life-giving support we Veterans require and were promised? We gave 110% when our country asked!
Why is the United States treating Veterans this way?  Short answer: Musk and Krasnov.

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?

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.

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 🙂

No, it's ironic that you called me MAGA with no evidence. Exactly what you were saying I did. I don't think you're intellectually up for a debate with me on anything that matters, good day.

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?
