I had a good friend who isn't usually very politically engaged (we're Canadian and he leans Conservative) text me this story. Along with the following:
"Wow. I know Trump gets away with a lot of shit, you told me ICE is arresting innocent people every day, but this shit is atrocious. No way conservatives let this slide..."
Oh sweet summer child...
The constitution of united states no longer is in effect, what's left?
You guys still have all those rifles?
We have state constitutions!
It hasnt gotten bad enough yet for ordinary people to invoke the second amendment.
NRA seems to have forgotten to rise against that tyranycal government
It'll never be bad enough for that.
All those people who can't stop mentioning the second amendment are the same people that voted trump in to begin with so yeah...
I need guns to fight against Tyranny but gimme a minute whilst I vote a tyrant into office!
I mean. Nothing about his status as a veteran matters to these fascists. He volunteered to join the army, the gov doesn’t consider him anything more than a number already. Isn’t this the same gov that’s rescinding promises to Afghan folks who helped during our invasion?
I am both a VFW and American Legion member and not one of their news letters are addressing this.
If you are a member of VFW, why are you a member of American Legion?
Why would membership in one preclude membership in the other? It’s an earnest question, I don’t know anything about either organization, but didn’t find anything relevant in their Wikipedia pages
I responded to Profthadbach
Essentially there is no real reason you can't, it's just kind of redundant.
I wasn't trying to be a jerk either, just not sure why.
Both require dues and both provide the same services.
(One is for service members who fought in a foreign war, the other is for service members who didn't fight in foreign wars.
Why not both?
Typically VFW is for veterans who fought and American Legion is for service members who didn't fight.
I guess there is no real reason why you can't join both, but it's like joining two car wash clubs.
exactly what Republicans voted for
The arrest unfolded on July 10 when federal immigration officers carried out large-scale raids at two Glass House marijuana farms in Carpinteria and Camarillo and arrested over 300 people – part of an ongoing trend of immigration enforcement at worksites like farms and construction sites that have struck fear into immigrant communities.
Protesters showed up. He was arrested trying to get to work.
