If we get into a land war in Iran (like Afghanistan) and we draft young men to go fight, how many will be exempt due to "Bone Spurs"? Just curious. :) :)

Born in 1941 so I have seen the good and the bad of politics. USAF Vet. Democrat Cheer up, eventually it will get better. I enjoy retirement here in Virginia, with my trusty Lab. ๐ซ no hookups, no post, or no bio, no follow back.

Maybe we should try to find out why so many people support Frump. Take out the white supremacists, the sovereign citizens and all the other fringe groups. What makes seniors, farmers, rural folks, etc all support MAGA? Did we miss the boat on satisfying their needs?
I am tired of waking up every morning wondering what in the hell did he do last night while I slept.
I always thought the mantra of the Republican party was "reduce the debt ". Frump is playing everyone for fools if they believe he intends to that thru tariffs. He is the bankruptcy king. He walks away from debt. What would happen to the world economy if he walks away from this one.
So all the things that Frump promised to get elected, new health care plan, lowering inflation, cost of food reduced, booming economy, etc, is not working and he will deflect us by starting a war. Do I have that right? The world now has 3 major dictators, Putin, Xi and Frump.
Among all the things that are wrong it is a shame that the 250th anniversary of our country has to have a president who is not the person that our founding fathers would have wanted. The damage to this country and the relationships we have lost or injured will take many many years to repair.
The Grinch didn't steal Xmas, the guy in the White House did. Did you get the statement about this may be our last Merry Christmas.
Another "old man" announced his retirement from congress yesterday. That's at least 50 who have decided they can't take it anymore. I wonder how many are Frump loyalists that are taking the cowards way out instead of defying him. Just don't want clones of the originals.
When I was in HS my buddy had one and we drove to school in it, even had a double date riding in the rumble seat. Beautiful!
OK, how many of you really believe we will see the complete, un-redacted, version of the Epstein files? Bondi says she will release them within 30 days. I wonder if that's enough time for her to scrub the files of the BIG names involved. How about the Epstein financial files?
I loved the old Sox. Ted Williams and Sammy White came to my HS awards banquet, I'll never forget it.
Democrats won many elections in many states last night, local and statewide ballot issues also. Don't believe you can rest on your laurels. If the trend is to continue then so is the effort. Those in power are going to after everyone who spoiled their plans. DON'T REST,KEEP UP THE RESISTANCE.
Have a different view of her after watching that.
Let's face it America voted for graft and corruption.
My gram came from the Isle of Skye, I want freedom for Scotland. And I'm a grandpa of 15.
Home of the brave (as long as you believe in Frump), land of the free, (as long as you don't look like an immigrant)
What happened to us, how did we let this take place? Generations of this madness is facing us. VOTE or suffer the consequences.
Reasons by Earth Wind and Fire
I'm not a political pundit, just an observer of the mess we are in. My belief, is that the democrats focus too much time on Frump, although he has earned all the criticism. With the shutdown they are focusing energy on health care and that is a cause that can unite support behind them.
The comparisons between how dictators came to power and Frump is frightening.
Where is my country headed? We don't discuss, we accuse. Listening is becoming a lost art. We used to be able to voice our opinion, now it can put you in jail or being accused as a terrorist. Saying you disagree with the president was our right, now you could find yourself being threatened.
In 1937 Germany, to disagree with the leader usually meant a death sentence. So, I guess just being fired is an improvement.
I'll never forget Al Sleet, the hippy dippy weatherman.
He is without a doubt, my favorite philosopher.
Let's see, it's 1937 to 1938 and first we get rid of dissenters in the party, then outlaw other parties, then eliminate free speech. Any of this seems familiar?
Short story. I have a black lab (rescue) who I think is almost human. Listening to all the Sunday morning political shows with me, she came over to my chair and sat down and stared. Then she looked at th TV and went into the bedroom and laid down as if she had heard enough. Pretty smart, huh!
I wish Frump to be gone, but not by having an epidemic that could have been prevented by proper use of vaccines. This country needs competency in all areas of government and especially in health. Do we really want another recession caused by RFK and the guy that hired him?
I have made posts about this. The answer to how, is to many democrats didn't get off their ass and vote. What a lesson that taught us.
If HE needs a vaccine and RFK says no, is this a 2 for 1?
How about repudiate?
Read his biography. It's full of funny stories of how he handled politicians and the press. He wouldn't take crappie from anyone.
