The Army taught me the importance of candor and telling the facts even if they are what your Commander and other soldiers don't want to hear.

I fought in Desert Storm against the fascist Saddam Hussein, so I guess that makes me antifa.

Connect the dots for me, please.

What is the relevance of this video to us bailing out Argentina?

Nothing says "America First" like bailing out Argentina to the tune of $20B when our military is not going to get paid tomorrow.

I hate our for profit health care system that values money and CEO bonuses above taking care of people.

A medication my wife needs and has been responding to very well for the past two months just went from $248 a month to $1450 a month because insurance company will only cover it for two months.

Accidental discharge went where?!

😂 Good one!

Because sports allows us a respite and a place to recharge from the chaos that is our nation now under trump.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Yet those same constituents will vote to reelect the very same GOP lawmakers in 2026.

Why?

NormalAmericanVeteran @themajor59.bsky.social · 4d

They could invoke the 25th, but they won't.

The Republicans completely lack any moral courage or backbone to hold trump accountable.

I listened to your conversation with Ty Pinkins. Very impressive candidate and I really wish him success.

He makes a very good case for why we need independent candidates and elected leaders.

Here we go again is right, and again the MAGAs will eat this up because it shows trump cares about the little guy and their health care.

NormalAmericanVeteran @themajor59.bsky.social · 6d

Let me guess, this new plan will be revealed in "two weeks"

NormalAmericanVeteran @themajor59.bsky.social · 6d

They should respond, agreed, but the Republicans in Congress all lack the moral courage to do the right thing.

I spent my college years in the Army Reserves and I too NEVER saw troops this obese.

NormalAmericanVeteran @themajor59.bsky.social · 8d

trump is going to leave this earth without once having been accountable for anything.

Please, change my mind.

NormalAmericanVeteran @themajor59.bsky.social · 8d

I will never, under and circumstances use a coin with trump on it.

NormalAmericanVeteran @themajor59.bsky.social · 8d

If those women start naming names, there is a damn good chance they will have an accident, you know, the fall out a 10 story window kind of accident.

As somebody who has seen up close what happens to a country in and after a Civil War, we do not want to bring such a horror to our nation and our people.

Please, no.

It saddens me that you are correct in your advice.

NormalAmericanVeteran @themajor59.bsky.social · 11d

If trump is ever on a coin or a bill, I will NEVER use that currency.

NormalAmericanVeteran @themajor59.bsky.social · 11d

Somebody help me out, please!

How do you get a MAGA family member to understand that contrary to the lie trump spreads, Democrats are not asking for free health care for undocumented immigrants?

Fact checking is dismissed as Dem propaganda.

MAGAs are completely divorced from reality, I swear.

Yes there is a recourse for firing them all, elections.

However, every election, people vote along party lines and put the same people back in Congress.

Is there any dignity and professionalism in the White House anymore? Any?
