Federal Cuts Jeopardize Veterans Counseling Program (April 3, 2025)
vineyardgazette.com

... As part of the Trump administration's cuts to federal programs, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently chose not to renew a contract with Martha's Vineyard Community Services for veterans counseling and services, potentially forcing dozens of Island veterans to travel off-Island for help with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other injuries. ...

Funny - I heard the justification is that able-bodied people should get a job. But, Democrats don't want to lead with that because it would actually be the truth and most people agree with it. So, Democrats are going to do the Democrat thing and lie about the bill.

@#31 ... Funny ...

Your current trolling alias should be more specific in its posts.

What, exactly, does it find to be funny?

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Well I was driving down I-95 the other night
When somebody nearly cut me right off the road
I decided it wasn't going to do any good to get mad
So I wrote a song about him instead. It goes like this...

Were you bo-rn an -------, or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ------- tonight

Yes you're an -------, and don't you try to blame it on me
You deserve all the credit, you're an ------- tonight

You were an ------- yesterday, you're an ------- tonight
And I've got a feeling, you'll be an ------- the rest of your life

And I was talking to your mother, just the other night
I told her I thought you were an -------, she said "yes, I think you're right"

And a-ll your friends are -------s, 'cause you've known them your whole life
And somebo-dy told me, you've got an ------- for a wife

Were you bo-rn an -------, or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ------- tonight
...

Wow, they don't write songs like that any more.

Let's hope some die and soon.

@#35 ... clone ...

Clone, or just a lame attempt at reincarnation?

I've not yet reached that decision.

"Expect to hear that quote from being played on loop by Democrats during the mid-terms next year. She perfectly summed up the values of the GOP."

I certainly do hope so! Her comment was perfectly indicative of the unspoken plans that will directly effect every red state and generate the hatred for Republicans that they richly deserve. Tax cuts for the rich are now more important than the lives of the morons who vote Republican over and over. hIope Ernst's words become the insult to human life that teaches the morons that the GQP doesn't care if their children die! They only care when a 16 year old rape victim doesn't think she's ready to be a mother.

Joni Ernst's Sarcastic 'Apology' for Medicaid Cuts Response Sparks Fury
www.newsweek.com

After the tense exchange at the town event, Senator Ernst posted an apology on her Instagram account, which some said made matters "worse."

While seeming to be apologetic at the start the video, saying she wanted to "apologize for a statement that I made yesterday at my town hall," she then continued: "I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that yes we are all going to perish from this earth."

The sarcasm of her apology ramped up even higher as she added: "I'm really, really glad I did not have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well."

In the background of the video, which has since widely circulated on X, she appears to be walking through a cemetery as what look like gravestones can be seen scattered behind her on the grass.

After she shared the video, the internet exploded with comments responding to the senator's statement.

The race to the bottom unleashed by Trump and his elevation of scum.
