Yeah, I’m not included in this article is the idea that the VA is actually split up into three segments. One of them is the veterans benefits association. The other one is the veterans health administration and then the third one is the national cemetery organization that plans out who gets to be buried in a national cemetery such as Arlington national Park.

I don’t think there’s been enough transparency on who’s actually getting fired here … And as a veteran, I think it’s a little bit disingenuous to say that you’re gonna honor our country and our veterans and then/funding and employment at an organization that already needs the help

Everything in healthcare is more expensive now, and the amount of increase in funds has not been proportional to that increase for many decades. Just my two cents

Even a 4th grade girl in a popularity contest could have helped advise them on this one…

Well, it was a stupid thing to try because it immediately sends the message that you don’t care about a) first responders b) 9/11

The only other budget cut I can think of right now that would create less favorable publicity is, if they cut all the funding to the VA, or more specifically to the VBA(which is in charge of distributing funds to people with disabilities due to being deployed or enrolled in military service )

I think there needs to be a senate & congress vote AND a majority of states need to ratify the amendment after which the Supreme court does a review.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are so out of touch with the basic American citizen today that I’m sure they think the Postal Service is the organization that puts up road signs and highway barriers or something

Emperor Trump, a man who cannot be trusted to run a charity in the state of New York….

I just saw on CNN that Elon Musk sent out an email asking everybody to detail what they accomplished last week at work and if people failed to comply or don’t respond, it’ll be considered an act of resignation 

This is not the way to treat quality employees if we keep this up the only people who wanna work for a government will be complete shit bags who can’t do anything anyway

I’m a government contractor and I plan to pass up all government employment opportunities that come my way during this administration. It’s not much, but if everybody booze Allen Hamilton lighthouse, and the other big contractors quit their jobs. Our government will not be able to function within their roles. No shame to people who have to continue to work for the government. Of course you have to feed your family first

Take the good with the bad, if we have to re-do the voting system I say we move towards a more popular-voting system and get rid of the electoral collage, it’s time to shake up the gerrymandering of districts in favor of GOP Senators/Congress.

Time for an overhaul!

The word “Women” is on that list at the bottom…women exist. I have proof.

Also, if you have a list that long, it doesn’t mean you are powerful enough to ban words, it means you are dumb enough to WANT to stay uneducated.

As Tucker Carlson might say “I’m just asking the question “

I’m still hoping that James Bond like character from the British government will take him out for us, but that might just be because I’m in the middle of a James Bond movie marathon
