"The U.S. #DepartmentOfVeteransAffairs, as of Thursday, has ended a new #mortgage-rescue program that so far has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid #foreclosure and keep their homes.

The move leaves millions of military #veterans with far worse options than most other American homeowners if they run into trouble paying their home loans. And it comes at a time when nearly 90,000 #VA loans are seriously past due, with 33,000 of those already in the foreclosure process, according to the data and analytics firm ICE."

    Oh please, spare me the kumbya bullshit with Republicans and veterans.

    • 2016, 61% voted for trump and the Neo-Nazis.
    • 2020, 57%, voted for trump and the Neo-Nazis.
    • 2024, 61% voted for trump and the Neo-Nazis.

    There’s no community to be built here. They’ve proven they will vote the Hard R after getting fucked over hard the first time and they get to have the day they voted for this election just like the rest of us has to have the day they voted for.

        Not having the understanding of the colloquial phrase “by and large”?

        Or not addressing that veterans in 2024 voted in the same numbers as 2016, supporting the theory that veterans aren’t actually changing their views?

        What exactly are you not getting here?

      When we do not allow people to redeem themselves, they have zero reason to change or work with us, and will continue being our enemies.

      Yeah, they voted Trump and Nazis-- they also have PTSD, trauma, may be grappling with addiction, suffering from mental illness, etc.

      They also fought our country and are rightfully angry that we left them to rot in the streets.

      We ALL created the conditions that led to Trump.

      Thinking that we just need to be violent towards Trumpers to defeat them and THAT is going to fix our country is some really smooth brain thinking.

        1. PTSD isn’t an excuse and it’s not every veteran.
        2. We aren’t leaving them on the streets, the Nazis they voted for are.
        3. “We All” didn’t create the conditions.
        4. Since we’re going into insults now, fine, if you want to smooth brain coddle and gargle some Nazi balls, you feel free and let them keep on making America fascist again and stand with Schumer’s pathetic strongly worded questions.

        If they want to redeem themselves then they need to have some self reflection on their own to understand that voting for Nazis is bad. That’s something they have to do themselves and when they actually come out and say, “I’m sorry for being a fucking idiot and voting for a Nazi” and actually back it up with actions like not voting against their own interests because they like racism better, then I’ll gladly talk with them. Until then, they can have the day they voted for.

        You can continue to be that bleeding heart that thinks being punched in the face time after time without saying enough is enough is a winning strategy, you keep getting punched.

        I’ll continue to think that Americans need to suffer the consequences of their actions and maybe they’ll learn not to hit themselves in the genitals and complain that it hurts afterwards.
