I’m Tommy Tuberville, and I disapprove this message.

Indeed, thank you veterans❤️

During Tuberville’s comment period during the hearing for Derek Chollet to become Undersecretary of Defense. , he said “there’s nobody more military up here than me.” He has never served a day in his life.

Thank you all for your service

Thanks to all who have served (and are serving) our country!

THANK YOU VETERANS!!

They gave what was asked of them. Tomorrow I will walk with the daughter of the first Canadian awarded a Victoria Cross in the Second World War.. and lay a wreath. An emotional honour.

In case anyone wonders (or has forgotten), here’s the Trumpublican “platform”, all easily supported by referring to any news sources. They won’t write it down because too many voters might read it, so I did it for them. Despite being in the minority in terms of the US population, members of the SCOTUS, “Conservatives,” RWNJs, and white supremacists are attempting to drag this country back to their imaginary Jeffersonian agrarian idyl. The 1790 census (when Jefferson was Secretary of State), counted 5.3M Americans. Only white males owning 50 acres or more of land were permitted to vote, approximately 6% of the population. Free white men who did not own land, free white females, and slaves could not vote. In 1790 the American population was largely rural, making a living by farming. Our most recent census counted 332,403,650 Americans. Current estimates are that 83% of Americans live in urban areas. They do not work at farming. Of course, a country of 300-plus million Americans requires a larger government than one with only 5.3 million Americans. Please don’t worry about how “small government” works with regulating what goes on in your bedroom, or prohibiting women (still citizens as far as I know) from crossing state lines for medical care. Nevertheless, in pursuit of “small government,” the following are conservatives’ goals for their “Jeffersonian” America

1. No women’s rights.

2. No civil rights for people of color, or for any other minority groups.

3. No immigration, other than Caucasians.

4. No labor unions.

5. No health insurance.

6. No legal recourse due to Republican-packed courts.

7. No social security.

8. No disability insurance.

9. No minimum wage.

10. No free and fair elections (ultimately, no elections).

11. Imposed state religion; government (taxpayer) funding of religious schools.

12. Unregulated militias unchecked by Republican-packed courts. Continued…

Trumpublican Platform, continued:

13. No work on mitigating climate change; no environmental protections.

14. No free press.

Oh, I almost forgot! Lying about and misrepresenting everything Democrats try to accomplish.

GOP politicians don’t care about the environment or mitigating climate change because they intend to stay permanently in office and use their money and power to take over remaining livable locations as environmental conditions worsen. Republican leaders don’t care if America dies as long as they can feed off the carcass for their lifetimes. How many Americans would have to die or be virtually enslaved in jobs with less than living wages for this “platform” to work? Why do you people who support today’s GOP, Trump, and Trump wannabes think that you will come out winners under this regime?

NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE, AND VOTE BLUE!

I was a Marine at 17, and 65 years later, I am still a Marine in my heart and soul. Happy Birthday Marines!

Very nice

Yes, thank you Veterans, one and all!

Beautifully rendered, Steve ♥
