The number of MAGA Americans that voted for them are the disease, killing everything to "own the libs."
If the VA doesn't work out and I'm lucky, I can buy and use a vehicle like a used RV or a modified van to live in... but that also depends on how long I'm able and willing to drive, and if I afford to get a driver's license, registration, and insurance.
Needless to say, my future is pretty bleak.
I can see the Veterans Administration (VA) wiped out by the changes that Donald J. Trump is invoking this year, and whatever this destructive administration plans on doing over the next few years.
I can foresee the end of my disability payments.
I can foresee the end of my Social Security, too.
I'm in my 50s now. Odds are, I've got 20-30 more years left (accident or illness notwithstanding). As I decline, I'll have nobody in my corner--no spouse, no siblings, no nieces/nephews, no children/grandchildren, no long-term friends--to care for me. That'll all be on the VA.
If we still have one.
I've seen this dismissive attitude more than once. "Oh, I've had COVID three times, it's no big deal."
Sure. Of course. Maybe not to THAT person, but it is no doubt QUITE a big deal to whoever they went on to infect, and the impact it had on others' lives.
Covid-19 has caused a breakdown in human rationality. Most people have embraced a mentality of delusion, carelessly denying the extreme danger of Covid-19 and recklessly surrendering to repeated infections. As a result, irreparable harm is steadily destroying their essential well-being.

Now if they can just figure out how to kick ICE out of the city...

agency that would 'distribute' a 'bailout' is on furlough/off because of the shutdown... ๐คก
71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.
Donโt fall for Trumpโs lies about targeting the โworst of the worst.โ
As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.
This is what MAGA is. There hasn't been ONE major outreach from the Republican party, expressing their concern or sympathy, much less from Donald J. Trump. This is what the political climate is about: dirty, personal attacks over political issues that enrage them.

Seriously don't trust 'em.
It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Be smart, especially now, and don't snitch on yourself. Posting specifics about actions or promoting violence on social media is just a bad idea. There's a reason organizers and activists use Signal. You can't resist from a cage.
And our country would rather see those soybeans rot in the silos than even consider donating them to needy countries.

We're simply trained from birth to complain about everything, and we think nothing of it.
Except that in TrumpWorld...
- no consumer reports, no problems;
- saves money by cutting VA programs;
- Social Security programs are a "luxury";
- small businesses need to make money first;
- "ill" people are a burden;
- the poor need to get a job.
The US isn't taking care of Americans any more.
Its the stupidity that so gets to me
After being told all my life 'its ok the people who lead us are brave,wise & noble. They are intelligent & stable. All you have to do is be intelligent & everything will be ok'
But that is all just a bunch of hogswollop.
