Tiedrich rant: Republicans hate our veterans -- and no one hates them more than Donald Trump



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/republicans-hate-our-veterans-and

yesterday was Veterans Day and we heard a lot of yadda from the Usual Republican Suspects about how much they loooooove our nation’s veterans.

there they were, tweeting out the same old boilerplate platitudes about honor and duty and sacrifice. it’s all bullshit. conservatives hate our veterans. as always, watch what they do, not what they say.

veterans are useful props whenever some dipshit wingnut needs to burnish their patriot cred, but when it comes time to actually supporting our veterans — say, by helping them when they’re in need — it’s a completely different story......



here we have a bunch of Republican Senators fist-bumping. why? because they just blocked a bill that would have expanded healthcare coverage for military veterans exposed to toxic burn pits during their service. who the fuck celebrates that?

awesome job supporting our veterans, you evil soulless hypocrites. listen up, shitheads: you send a person into a war zone and tell them to fight for their country, and when they come back injured and permanently disabled, you fucking well take care of them — forever. it’s basic human decency.

Jeff Tiedrich is on a roll. He cites several more times that the hateful Repukes in Congress screwed our Veterans. The same Veterans who faithfully turn out to vote until they get stomped on repeatedly. Maybe some of our Vets are starting to figure this out? I hope so.

As always, THANK YOU to our Veterans!
