Please Consider

 

Morning

A PSA for those who are looking for ways they might help themselves through the chaos.

INDIVISIBLE

They've been holding Town Hall meetings across the country to overflowing crowds. Please consider joining.

As President Musk's little band of outlaws makes its way through demolishing the various entities, there will be a gathering and protest at the Veteran's Administration in D.C., today. Despite the fact I have never used VA medical, those of us who have served deserve to have better care than what these yahoos plan to provide with their privatization bullshit.

Grassroots efforts will have an influence. I hope.

Why did this post make me so hard?

It's not like the VA offers exemplary care - the fiasco with the conditions at the Walter Reed hospital are still fresh in many minds. My husband is an Army veteran and uses the Providence VAMC; the issue he faces is the incredible turnover in physicians and staff. He has to meet a new PCP about once a year (not exaggerating). But that said; the VMAC offers a very comprehensive degree of services; everything spread out over several campuses. One-stop shopping for him, no issues with race or sexual orientation; as a matter of fact, the Providence VMAC proudly flies a rainbow flag in support of the thousands of LGBT+ service members. THAT, Pat, is what is going to hurt - when the DUI Hire (Hegseth) decides to enact the "No Trans / No LGB" policy for the DoD and the VA. These assholes just can't stop fucking with shit just for the sake of being a bully.

Oh, and thank you for the link to Indivisible! I will promote that on my Blog as well! Rade

Most likely! Who can blame them?

whkattk said...

Me, too!

Maybe you can't resist a man in uniform ---- er, I mean, a man out of uniform. LOL

whkattk said...

It can be a pain starting over with a new PCP every year, but the VA provides so many needed services. And those asshats just want to destroy everything for their own benefit.

whkattk said...

Excellent! Thank you.

Money and benefits for private companies are more and more making life in USA dangerous.
Something we excluded from our health care system for decades here in Canada. No matter who you are, ALL Canadians are covered by it.
Since January 20th, the dismanteling of many governments departments will make USA's citizen lives more difficult and even deadly.
The officialisation of RFK as secretary of health is out of any qualifications. Ridiculous is the least to say.
Yes, USA is going backward in time.

And polls say this is what voters want. I don’t believe it, as always they don’t dare admit what they have elected. It was Trump who described our fallen as “losers and suckers.” I’ m not sure how any military could vote for him.
Hugs and bisous.

Anymore, what is the plus of even joining any military branch if we aren't going to treat them with respect and show our gratitude for the service they provided? I just read where a four star female admiral was stripped and discharged for her act of using the DEI elements to create a diverse group. She had been in the Armed Forces and was given literally four hours to vacate her home. I hope the bastards in the administration have every bit of hell unleased on them and soon.

Thanks for the link, Big.
I really cannot believe how they are basically dismantling this country.

XOXO

Life here is dangerous, and other nations need to be warning their citizens about visiting here. With outbreaks of measles in TX, and polio in FL, it's only going to get worse. At some point, I can see other nations refusing entry to people from the States.

whkattk said...

He's never had any respect for the military. His cowardly 'bone spur' BS proved that. I don't know how any military or veteran could vote for that. Plus, they're lying when they say they've placed exceptions to the money and hiring freeze for the VA. Hugs and bisous.

whkattk said...

Yep, she was summarily removed from her position, then made to leave her quarters with only a few personal items. Cruelty is the point. The retribution, when it happens, needs to be extremely harsh.

whkattk said...

It's just infuriating. It sure as hell isn't what I spent 9+ years of my life for. Gabbard will do untold damage.
XOXO

The circle of soldiers under the waterfall next to a European 3rd Class passenger car are probably under the water spout for filling a steam locomotive's tender.

whkattk said...

Very interesting - thanks for the tidbit. "Any port in a storm," eh?

uptonking said...

Hmmm... one group you never want to piss off? Veterans!

whkattk said...

Yep. Sadly, either they didn't vote or their votes got hijacked by Muskrat's little band of hackers.
