20. PTSD Charity and Awareness is the Cause this supports
Fri Oct 4, 2024, 12:48 PM
Oct 2024

Unless we are agreeing that a murdering child is demonstrating PTSD, the management of a rock festival has no business inviting Kyle Rittenhouse to show up on stage.

Remember that conservatives worship selfishness. When they run a charity, you can bet the grift is in.

Telling the truth, every single time I see a charity asking for help with veterans, I feel outrage. Phone cards for active duty soldiers, when our military owns most of the wavelengths and has deep access to communication was a pretty horrible cause. Any time I see a charity for veterans, I think, why? With all the money in the military, it seems insane that every issue is not covered well. Cake sales are for field trips, and should not be for injury, mental or physical when caused by military duty. When I was a child, having access to military medical care was the gold standard in our country.

Conservatives pretend to support the troops, but they never come through with the goods.
