This is sickening. Waiting for #trump supporters who claim to support #USMilitary to explain how they can continue to support a man who hates our #troops. @JoeBiden’s son #Beau served in #Iraq. @DrBiden has supported #militaryfamilies for years. #USMC #USN #USAF #BidenHarris2020
#Trump referred to former President #GeorgeHWBush as a “loser” for being shot down by the Japanese as a Navy pilot in #WorldWarII. #Bush flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific. He enlisted at 18. Trump enlisted never. history.com/news/george-hw… #SupportOurTroops #VoteBidenHarris 
When #JohnMcCain died in 2018, #Trump became furious when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser.” McCain was taken prisoner after flying his 23rd bombing mission over N.Vietnam. #Trump has flown a mission never.
(1) On 21/12/12, Navy SEAL Cmdr. W. Price took his own life while deployed in Afghanistan. Conspiracy "theorists" claim he was killed to cover up wrongdoing by HRC, but I'm convinced we lost this hero to combat-PTSD & suicide, & it's a cautionary tale.

(2) Yes, the article is in the failing NYT. I've found that not all of their stories are fake and anti-Trump. It's necessary to read a NYT story before deciding whether to believe it. The relevant facts in this case are drawn from the Navy's report, which appears credible to me.
(3) This story shows in stark relief what a great cost Obama's policies have been to the US and the world, and why the election of Trump & adequate congressional majorities was and is necessary for the survival of the Republic, and to have a chance at peace in the world.
🏔️This tells you everything you need to know about U.S. Senator Jon Tester from #Montana: he made history as being the first member of Congress who posted his daily schedule online.
🚜But in case you need to know a little more, he is part of the third generation from his family who have resided in Montana & has shown that he will protect the state from interlopers. The top “issue” on his campaign website is “fighting for veterans.”
Senator Joe Donnelly (D-IN) stands up for veterans. He is passionate about several issues, but helping veterans is definitely a priority.

🎖️Just one small example: when he stood up on the Senate floor and made this speech about Vietnam veterans and how they should have all the same benefits as vets from other wars.
💗Donnelly's very first bill—the bipartisan Jacob Sexton Military Suicide Prevention Act—was a labor of love. Jacob was from Indiana and a National Guard member who tragically took his own life in 2009.

🎖️Supporting #veterans is high on Kyrsten Sinema’s list of priorities. Sinema is also from a military family: one brother is a Marine and the other is an active duty Sailor.

🎖️Sinema believes that taking care of active duty military and veterans is one of the “most important obligations we have as Americans. Every American who wears the uniform deserves our respect and full support, both on the battlefield and when he or she returns home.”
🏛️While serving Arizona’s 9th District in Congress, Sinema took on the local VA facility in Phoenix, AZ. She learned that approximately 40 Arizona veterans died while waiting for care on “secret” VA lists.

I grew up in poverty. My parents were the working poor. They hated being on food stamps but they needed them to feed me and my younger sister. My parents bought hamburger, potatoes, some vegetables, and grew a few that they could in their garden. My mother cooked our meals. 1/
2/. These food boxes are a terrible idea, IMO. Someone or several people at the top and probably Trump will profit off of this program and it's a further way to stigmatize and punish the poor for being poor. Also poor people know how to stretch money better than any politician.
3/ It's unnecessary. Poor people but the things they need at the grocery store and are perfectly capable of continuing to do so. There isn't a problem with food stamps. Trump, his administration and the Republicans hate the poor. As I was poor and then worked with people who
