contracted cancer so that this orange POS called potus could sell out america's best allies for the likes of kim jung un and putin. Goddamn right I'm angry and say the 4th is shit to me. Along with the 'other' obvious reason(s) that it's a holiday for some americans to take pride in, not all.

What sickens me is that there are vets who agree with the orange anus and are 100% behind him. After he destroys the VA, I wonder if they will still love him.

(18,124 posts)are starting to 'feel' it. Depleted uranium was in those pits. VA especially will not admit it. This because they turn down every request for compensation the first time and 80% thereafter on 2nd appeal, unless one is connected or just plain fucking lucky. They have turned me down, I have to appeal for more compensation. Amerika has a poor record when it comes to admitting military failure in how it treats it's vets.

(18,124 posts)always, to be fighting communism for as long as I have been politically aware. Now this. Communism/putin are still sworn enemies to american inspired, not yet totally realized, personal freedom(s). They want this country to become irrelevant on the world stage. The only thing they desire is THEY want to be THE worlds military, ideological power disguised as Socialism, sounds familiar, yet still, Marxist/Leninism. To you
