[sees article titled "How veterans exploit the VA"]
Buddy, I don't think that's possible. I think you confused the word "exploit" with "use" in your head. The VA is the fulfillment of a deal with our service members. One that, historically, we haven't been very good at keeping.

A picture of a Portland riverfront park. There are a few people on the grass. The river is blue, the grass is green, and the sun is shining. There are no fires or smoke. A bridge spans the river on the right.

Portland is not a war zone. There is no reign of terror, no occupying force until he sends one to break the law. Donald Trump wants to kill and imprison Americans for disagreeing with him, to cow the rest into complicity.

For context Hegseth was basically fired from every job he had, including resigning from his national guard duty because he had a Deus Vult tattoo. He got fired from all his other jobs for drinking and abusing women on the job.
Heres a letter his own mother wrote to him about his treatment of women

@scottmccloud.bsky.social 's definition of art hasn't been topped, and I doubt it can be done. You don't have to like it, you can call it bad, but if it expresses and generates feeling and that's the point of it it is. Anything else needs an arbiter that will always be found wanting.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

The times will settle and Bezos will pay Trump directly a huge amount of money and allow one of his political officers on staff.

This is indefensible. You can commend Kirk for engaging with dissenters in discussion and debate without preposterously elevating that to a full-blown positive appraisal of the way he practiced politics, which, in the main, involved being an indefatigable reactionary provocateur.

When Minnesota Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman was murdered in her home by a gun toting MAGA maniac less than 90 days ago they said nothing. Trump even skipped her funeral and chose to play golf instead. He had the chance to condemn political violent and did not.
