Well…I am just pissed off about comments that idiot boy made at a veterans conference on Monday…the 5 deferment, fake bone spur chicken hawk suggested that veterans who return from combat with PTSD are not as “strong” as those who are able to “handle” it…now this is wrong on so many levels coming from a person who is afraid of everything and has been coddled his entire life…a person who would never consider serving in the military since it wouldn’t benefit him personally and even had a clause in his first divorce agreement that would disown his daughter if she ever joined the military. How can the repubs who supposedly are the strongest supporters of the military (hint: they aren’t) let this kind of disrespect for the service of injured veterans stand? I want the chicken in chief to go to a war zone and have the vehicle he’s riding in blown from under him…or face combat every day for months with no let up….or see his friends or brothers or sisters in arms killed right next to him…it’s a miracle that more of our returning soldiers are not scarred for life and that trump, of all people is calling anyone weak is one of the most sick things I have ever heard. He just has to go…he has shown he has no human feeling for anyone…he can’t console anyone because he doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself and he doesn’t understand sacrifice…and it sure isn’t “weak” to react to the horrors of war….but the draft dodger in chief wouldn’t understand that…impeach…

This is what running government like a business does…
Well…you would think that the idiots in charge of Lansing would learn from their abject failures…but no, they are repubs who never learn anything. One of the mantras we hear all the time from these folks that it will be better if we run government like a business…it will save money…greedy unions have to go, etc…but the results are clear to see…from the Flint water crisis caused so that the emergency manager could save 100 dollars a day and look good to his cronies in the Snyder administration, to the privatization of food services for the state’s prisons that rewarded big donors to the repubs with profit while they fed prisoners food that was spoiled and had workers that smuggled drugs into the prisons….to the latest outrage of the veterans home in GR where the union aides and nurses were canned so they could give the contract for patient care to a private company that repeatedly failed to take care of the patients there…patients who are military people..yeah, the ones that the repubs supposedly revere but not if they cost anything. The system worked perfectly fine with some of the best care in the country until the repubs again privatized services there…but the real goal was to do whatever they could to gut public sector unions…and patient care be damned if they could save a couple of million dollars. This is the problem with running government like a business…it just isn’t one! And the bottom line mentality does not work unless you don’t give a damn about any outcome except cutting costs…and cutting costs doesn’t work all the time in business…we had a saying in my business days: you can’t cut your way to growth and profitability….but to the idiots running this state, it’s the only thing they know…geez….
