It should be in Democratic campaign commercials. I wonder how many in the Democratic leadership are even aware of it.

If the DNC understood social media, which it seems they don’t, they wouldn’t have to buy ads. Something this egregious should go viral - like the BS about how we’re funding Ukraine while our vets are homeless and starving. If the right, with an assist from Russia, can push compelling, emotional lies, why in the world can’t the rest of us push the disgusting, hard-hitting truth?

They should be all over social media. Completely useless.

Good idea about Democratic commercials, but why wait? Do them now! I know it eats up money but the way it’s being thrown around, there’s more than enough for a few ad campaigns. People watch TV. Unless the DNC is $quandering due to ineffective leadership…

He hates veterans because he never was one.

He despises them because he believes he was smarter than them by dodging the draft.

You couldn’t get a worse piece of humanity than Donald J Trump

Eight years in The Marines, here and abroad, to call that POS my Commander in Chief?!? The service of my father in WWII, meaningless?? There aren’t words invented yet that adequately describe their incompetence, greed and evil.

Thank you for your service, and to your Dad for his.

My Dad was in Korea, one brother in Military Intelligence in the Army, one brother in the Navy, countless other family, friends also in the service(s).

I tried to, but was not allowed to enlist in either the Army or the Coast Guard.

However, I certainly understand and agree with you.

My Wife and I cannot and will not refer to him as president (TheRump, TheRumpian Regime... the Oaf in the Oaful Office to name a few that I use often.

We are extremely involved in three Lee County (FL) Democratic organizations:

Democratic Party of Lee County,

Lee County LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus and

Democratic Club of Cape Coral.

This should be included in the next DNC campaign advertisements. Not one veteran should even think about voting republican!

This is so outrageous. I think it demonstrates Trump is off his rocker. This (along with ignoring his own intelligence & declaring war on Iran) is grounds for removal from office for mental incompetence and lawlessness (unconstitutional).

No Veterans, no Active, no Guards, no Black people, no women, Retired, no Disabled, no LGBTQ+ people, no Jewish people, etc, etc, etc should vote for another republican for president, or Congress, etc.

Come on people (TheRump supporters and Loyalists), why do you still support him?

Can you not see what he is doing? That he lied to you? That he is still lying to you?

To those of you in the forces right now, today, you need to see your future written in Mark Mansour's article, "Trump's Horrific Politicisation of the VA." As Trump, Miller and Netanyahu drag you into WWIII. This is the plan Miller and Netanyahu have dreamed about for decades their hate is NOT mere discrimination. Trump has been groomed to believe he can do no wrong, that he is a strongman, that he is the American's ideal president! Naturally we know that trump will do anything and everything OWN that image of himself. He doesn't care that the military under his command will die needlessly for Stephen and Bibi's wet dream.

I am not experienced in this area, but when you sign up for the military, isn't there something in an agreement that you sign that tells you what your benefits are going to be? Isn't this a breach of contract?

Yes it is, among other things.
