Biden may be old, but he's not dumb like Trump; not corrupt like Trump; not a criminal like Trump; not a rapist like Trump; not a narcissist like Trump; not a liar like Trump; not a grifter like Trump.

Or, as Trump would call him, a LOSER.

Why would any service person or veteran support that orange a-hole?

Why? All the same reasons any of us have, plus


if on active duty, they are safer with Trump as CIC,

and for veterans, it was Trump who fought the swamp and won to fire a bunch of under performing VA Admins for the horrible conditions in certain VA hospitals.

MIke, all those fired were reinstated and the law is no longer used.

" But a number of administrative and judicial decisions against the department, he told reporters, meant VA officials spent so much time defending the law that it interfered with other work.

“To be honest,” McDonough said, “Section 714 wasn’t really helping us necessarily manage our workforce as much as it was getting us … before administrative bodies or before federal judges trying to explain this provision.”"

Obviously I had not heard that, thanks for the correction.

And, I am disappointed to hear that the deep state prevailed in its entrenchment.

You have to pass a workable law with some teeth to it. Trump signed an unworkable law.

Yeah, that was a mistake Trump repeated far too often. He had good policy instincts but he could be clumsy in the execution. His proposals would often get tangled up and defeated in court when with a little attention to the Administrative Procedures Act beforehand might have succeeded.

It's the people working on the law. Nearly all experienced lawmakers will steer you away from pitfalls. Ultimately the firings failed because the contracts required a 90 day period for people to improve their performance. Easy enough to take that into account. But the fact it had to be explained over and over - it's just a bad law.

Of course, animals do allow the strongest to lead the pack...

Is the tRump cult strong enough? I very much fear they might be. They've been busy stacking the deck.
