Retired or separated with a disability rating. IIRC all meds are covered at a rating of 50% or higher, even if the med in question has nothing to do with what’s on the claim.

That and people literally get to where they feel trapped in the military by their kids. Can’t afford to separate and lose that Tricare or on-base daycare.

I’d imagine he’s got a pretty sweet one going on with Putin… but then knowing Trump, this might be the kind of situation where little guy enthusiastically approaches the school bully to voluntarily offer up his lunch money because they’re ‘friends’.

Most federal jobs are all posted at USAjobs.gov you’ll just need to play around with the search filter.

I was gonna say a tumor isn’t excised out of hatred for the tumor; but for love of the host. Seems you’re already on that page, but I wanted to highlight it anyway cuz that’s an important distinction, and one that can be difficult to draw without either sounding like advocating or tolerance for hatred.

They do wear the mark on their foreheads…

Apply, interview, whole nine. Take the job, get all the way through the training, then quit or sabotage.

12 too many.

According to headlines lately, MAGA melts down fucking constantly. I hypothesize that they’re actually just liquid. They aren’t ‘melting down’, this is just their natural state.

Seems to be a division here based on the (ex)Trumpanzee’s sincerity vs not.

My thought is who gives a shit if they’re sincere? The goal isn’t to convert them, it’s to defeat Trump and people like Trump - if a former Trump voter can be used against him, I have no issues at all with at least pretending to accept that that person is having an authentic denazification. Whether or not they’re truly capable of self reflection is kinda moot

On the flip side, titles like this will help people to not forget.

Judging by your post history, it looks like I agree with you on nearly everything, except apparently when it comes to splitting hairs over how much faith we have in the average American to actually get up and get their hands dirty to take our country back.

…and honestly, I’m a little jealous of that optimism. The past decade has made me cynical as fuck. You’re right to call me out for defeatism. This all seems so fucking hopeless to me, but I really ought to keep that shit to myself - not like I’d be doing anyone a favor by ‘winning’ them over.

Weird thing for a Nazi to say.

Now that’s a testable hypothesis!

*clicks pen*

…you sure? I think he’d make decent fertilizer.

Well, I specified the majority of voters for a reason. When a third of population looks at the possibility of someone as evil as Trump taking power, and are so unmoved by that possibility that they can’t even be bothered to so much as color in a quarter-inch rectangle in opposition to it, that’s a fucking problem.

Militias to protect protesters is one thing; militias to enforce the demands being made by the protesters is what we need.

Look at current events here: we’ve got the 50501 protests happening nationwide and frequently - nothing changes. There were protests constantly during Trump’s first go at raping the Constitution - nothing changed. There were protests against Biden and Harris over their support for the genocide on Gaza - nothing changed. This has been a recurring theme for the almost 4 decades I’ve been stuck in this fucking dumpster fire.

You know what did get shit done? Luigi put three bullets into a malicious healthcare CEO’s back, and we immediately saw some reform (nothing huge, but some). Teslas and Tesla dealerships started getting burned to the ground, and now (supposedly - hasn’t happened yet) Elon is backing down from his role as chief Nazi. The republicans carried out a literal insurrection; they now control the presidency, Congress, and the Judiciary. Any semblance of checks and balances, and they just arrest the judge.

Point being: good or bad, violence is the only thing that works here. We’ve dipped our toes into it, but we haven’t gone full guillotine, which is what desperately needs to happen. Protests aren’t going to accomplish shit until the ruling class has a healthy fear for what happens when the protesters’ demands are ignored.

…the fuck are you talking about? The majority of US voters wanted this shitstorm. This isn’t like two people oppressing the country - the problem is that the majority of us land somewhere on the spectrum between stupid and evil, and that’s a MUCH larger problem than just Trump.

Protests in the US have lost their teeth ever since the civil rights movement. Nowadays we don’t have the Black Panthers standing by with rifles to enforce the efficacy of broader non-violent side of the movement; and so long as they remain nonviolent, they’ll continue to be ignored. We protest all the time - it doesn’t accomplish shit here.

The French do it all the time. Are you saying you’re not as capable as those you call “cheese eating surrender monkeys”? You keep making fun of them, but if you don’t act, they’ll be making fun of you.

Again, what the actual fuck are you talking about? I haven’t made fun of the French a single time. 100% we’re not as capable as the French - the French are absolute badasses who respond to oppression by literally making heads roll. That’s why protests there work - the ruling class knows what happens next if they ignore the protests. And cheese is fucking delicious. I’d love if we emulated the French - we should start with the guillotines and end with fondue.

Telling the passengers of the Titanic to grab a bucket after it snapped in half is not as helpful as you might think.

That would be in line with both the headline and his role model from the 1940s with the moustache.
