If a medical professional can gin up a reason that is not _explictly_ covered by law, they could use that as a reason to withhold treatment. Race is still protected, but you might be shuffled out the door because you are not a MAGAt.

Why hide what your doing? Which is stripping female and LGBTQ+ veterans of their veteran status.

I’m waiting for the first time a Trump-supporter veteran is denied care because they are not married.

Oh, sweet summer child. Communism is the workers owning the means of production. What we have here are the _elites_ owning the means of production.

I mean, even if you own shares in the company that golden share overrides any input you might have.

It’s 2025. Russia is the good guys. Putin, who runs things like the KGB thug he is, wants a restoration of the USSR, and he is out greatest ally.

We finally see what “red state” really means.

That’s how communism generally ends up working when it gets enacted in the real world, regardless of how it’s _supposed_ to work.

I guess they just couldn’t resist a dig at their useful idiot. Can the Chinese and DPRK be far behind? For anyone else it would be a wake-up call but we all know better.

What amuses me most is that I was taught as a child that this is why we won the Revolutionary War. While the British concentrated on fancy uniforms and precision marching the Americans concentrated on fighting. I know it’s probably not true but to my indoctrinated mind I like to see our soldiers in camouflage and looking more relaxed.

Jesus. Marching _that_ bad _had_ to be a deliberate act of protest.

The Brits do well at both: modern combat operations _and_ [precision ceremonial marching.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kiGw2LwxJEo&pp=ygUPaGlnaGxhbmQgbGFkZGll)

But the thing is: yes, they have a king; and, by and large, they don’t allow him to fuck shit up.

I wish they included a clip of the soldier carrying the drone. It was the cherry on the top of that flop of a parade sundae.

(Not a gift link. No substantive content. Didn’t want to use up my limited gift links.)

> 
> It is a well established custom for presidents to call state leaders to express sympathy and offer support after deadly shootings and other calamities. But after the shootings in the Minneapolis suburbs over the weekend, which left one Democratic lawmaker and her husband dead and another lawmaker and his wife gravely wounded, Mr. Trump seemed perplexed when asked by reporters if he intended to call Mr. Walz, who was the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 2024.  
> …

Well, of course he was perplexed. Because calling after a tragedy like this falls under “normal, human, compassionate” behavior, and not one of those attributes applies to the piece of crap that occupies the White House. 😡

ETA: Walz “whacked out”?? WTF is **that** supposed to mean?

I know, looking for _meaning_ is pointless…

It was one of Trumps goons that did this. He won’t apologize for them any more than apologize for treason when he tried to overthrow the country.

And nobody pull out the constitutional definition of treason. That was treason.
