It’s sad that someone would feel compelled to write an article like this.
Within this Atlantic article, the writer strains against the joy that’s been expressed by our foreign World Cup guests, and tries to find evidence of its falseness.
He is unable to.
I have saved you the trouble of reading the article. Enjoy all the happy videos instead.
And @TheAtlantic, you would gain many subscribers if you were to instead print the obvious piece about the joy being expressed. And also pull some happiness to yourself in associating with this joy.
This is a disgrace.
A Gulf War Marine veteran named Albert O’Toole who served this country, took a blast that left him with TBI, and was later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s was beaten by his aide Matthew Cox inside the New York State Veterans Home in Montrose, New York.
His wife Angela Sangro became concerned after seeing unexplained bruises and heavy sedation. She installed a hidden camera. The footage shows the aide yanking food out of Albert’s hands, grabbing him by the neck, throwing him into a chair, punching him, and striking him in the head with a broom while he cried out in pain. No one came to help.
The state fired the abuser.
But the federal VA? Still has him employed. Still paying him while the case drags on.
You make veterans fight through hell just to get the benefits and compensation they earned with their blood and sacrifice. You move fast to cut or reduce what’s owed to them.
But when one of your own is caught on camera assaulting a defenseless veteran? You keep him on the federal payroll like it’s nothing.
@SecVetAffairs you talk about accountability. Here it is. Fire this man from the VA now. No pay. No protection. No more dragging it out.
@SecWar our warriors come home broken from fighting for this nation. They deserve better than a system that protects abusers while making veterans fight for every dollar they earned.
@SpeakerJohnson this is on you too. Oversight without teeth is just theater. Do your job.
This isn’t how you treat the men and women who served. This is a betrayal.
Veterans FIRST.
Zero tolerance for those who abuse them.
Immediate action. No excuses.
If you’re not outraged by this, you’re not paying attention.
Semper Fi.
@TheTankGuns
Vice President JD Vance has had a terrible, horrible, no good very bad week. The only admin official defending the President’s MOU, the VP gaslit, sneered, prevaricated, and straight up lied to our faces. If this was a dry run for 2028, it was at least very clarifying.
This is crazytown. We should just let Iran hit Israel and withdraw our support? Why not just skip the messy stage and go right to the point where Israel nukes Tehran because we won’t sell them missile interceptors? These people pretend to know something. Amazing he was ever hired
See the guy in the glasses and navy blue suit on the left?
Mohammad Ghalibaf, Parliament speaker and Chief negotiator of the MoU that Vance praised as “not radicalised” like the last
He’s literally holding a burning American flag and shouting “Death to America!”
@davereaboi@jtLOL I'm not one who can put together a complete sentence without going bat shit crazy. I am so depressed and sick over this ordeal.
Tough talking Trump has become so weak in the eyes of the world. JD Vance and he are huge disappointments and deserve all criticism!!
I would love to think this is true, but it’s just not. If he had any intention of hitting them later, he would never ever have signed such a one-sided MOU with those terms. Instead, he’d have just walked away.
I’m waiting to hear a reasonable rebuttal to that point, bc nobody can square that circle.
Batya Ungar-Sargon slams J.D. Vance
"Vance is out there criticizing Israel, making up fantasies about how it is Israel's fault... And if only Israel would lay down its arms and allow Hezbollah to keep attacking it, there would be peace in the Middle East.
It is disgusting. It is the complete Tucker Carlsonification of the vice president of the United States. And it is utterly deplorable."
Let me break it down in a simple way that I’ve been reporting from the beginning.
To invent a vaccine for a disease that didn’t exist, our scientific Einsteins used taxpayer money to partner with communist China to create the dangerous virus in a lab—So that they could create a vaccine for it.
Covid was a result of primarily US funded vaccine research, and that’s the thing they could not let you know.
They stopped at nothing to obfuscate, misdirect, cover their tracks, protect themselves, and controversialize anyone telling the truth.
The scientific establishment and media aided and abetted.
I can think of no more impactful, crimes and violations that have occurred in our lifetime.
The man is shameless. He didn’t kill the Ayatollah, the Israeli Air Force did. He didn’t take out Iran’s anti-aircraft capabilities, the Israeli Air Force did. The man is taking credit for the operations of a country that he is now throwing under the bus.
🚨HORROR IN PARIS: Australian Tourist Brutally Gang-Raped by Pack of Black Men – Begs for Mercy in Kebab Shop!
An innocent Australian woman was viciously attacked and gang-raped by a mob of five black men in Paris after a night out. Terrified and half-naked, she fled to a nearby kebab shop, desperately begging for help while one of her attackers casually followed her inside and ordered food like nothing happened. This shocking video exposes the savage reality of unchecked migration and failing borders in Europe. Paris has become a dangerous hellhole where women are no longer safe on the streets. The attackers showed zero remorse as they hunted their victim. Enough is enough – borders must be secured and this madness stopped before more innocent lives are destroyed!
You are so completely full of it.
Israel's military budget is $45B
We provide $3.8B in aid which is basically used to buy US weaponry so it benefits us as well.
Your irrational hatred of Israel is an embarassment.
A pretty telling sign that @JDVance is pushing aside @realDonaldTrump and starting to run the show is that Vance is out there fluffing Tucker, who called Trump the anti-Christ, while official administration accounts attack longtime Trump defenders for not wanting to be weak on Islamists and Jew-haters.
It’s up to people to defend the contents of the actual MOU, not argue about stupidity like “war” or “no war.” Because by doing the latter, the case you are making is that *any* terms are acceptable in order to stop fighting.
