We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

The Trump DOJ FINALLY releases missing files directly alleging sexual abuse of a minor by Trump that DOJ claims were “offline” but then suddenly came online after Pamela Jo was subpoenaed by House Oversight.
