The art of the shaft
Trump thinks the DoJ is his personal law firm. And he thinks the military is his personal militia. So like all the rest of his contractors, he’s shafting them:
“The 4,000 California National Guard soldiers who President Donald Trump surged into Los Angeles remain unpaid due to delays in issuing official activation orders, leaving compensation and benefits in limbo.
“According to more than a dozen Guardsmen across four units who spoke to Military.com, none has received formal activation orders, the critical paperwork that not only authorizes their duty status, but also unlocks pay, Tricare health benefits and eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs services. Without those orders, troops remain in a legal and administrative limbo.”

Trump shafts the CA Nat’l Guard
He considers them all losers and suckers which is also how he views his MAGA base and the entire Republican Party. Not all these people are idiots but none of them have the testicles to tell him to Fuck Off which pretty much the rest of the world does. This does not end well for the United States. But as Keynes and Joni Ernst said in the long run we are all dead.
I am going to the No Kings protests tomorrow despite the threats from the Proud Boys to shoot a couple of us. Hoping a lot more Americans have enough patriotism and testicles to join me.
@Nilles,
We’ll be joining you in spirit at a protest here in Providence.

Be careful my long-time AB commenter friend or acquaintance. Check in once and a while if you can do so. If you can do so, let someone else know we are here and have concerns about you. It would be good to know you are safe no matter where you are.
