The Bloated Butt-ugly Bill
Author: BobR    Date: 07/01/2025 12:54:37

"Ask A Vet" is on vacation this week, camping in the in woods far from any connectivity.

There are plenty of horror stories regarding the current maladministration. One of the most egregious and consequential of these is the ironically named "Big Beautiful Bill". Let's set aside the aggravation that respected news outlets are using this gross name in their newscasts and take a look at what's going on with it.

There is an excise tax for green energy, something that Republicans apparently didn't know was in there (do they even read these bills?). Worse, though, is Constitution-bending attempts by TACO to increase his power:

Clean up on TACO aisle

Yesterday, I read an article from WaPo that was so breathtaking, yet so on point for this administration. The headline alone pretty much says it all. "Star witness against Kilmar Abrego García was due to be deported. Now he’s being freed."

I Love NY

Sometimes you need a timeline cleanse. A moment of zen, as it were.

And sometimes you get it all with a little NY nostalgia. This is that time.

Bunker Bust
Author: BobR    Date: 06/25/2025 12:22:31

It was a bit of a shock over the weekend to find out that the orange pig unilaterally decided to drop several "bunker buster" bombs on Iran in an unprovoked attack. Whether or not he needed Congressional approval to do so is a matter for another discussion. For now let's just take a look at the actions themselves.

The goal here was to destroy Iran's capability to build a nuke. The "fair warning" given probably made this fairly ineffective:

Good Morning.

Well, since we're at war again, let's think about actual veterans.

Strait of Redeaux
Author: Raine    Date: 06/23/2025 13:24:30

It's like the aughts all over again. This time it's Iran instead of Iraq. We bombed Iran. Guess who controls the Strait of Hormuz?. Now, it's been blocked.

Raining on His Parade
Author: BobR    Date: 06/18/2025 14:25:04

The dust has settled after this past weekend's activities, and it's really quite clear: The citizens of the United States are done with the pathetic gangsta wannabe in the White House. It's really quite amazing what transpired.

It was ostensibly about the 250th anniversary of the Continental Army (the U.S. Army wouldn't be formed until after the end of the Revolutionary War). In reality, it was a birthday party for Diaper Don, but really for his ego. It turned out to be the opposite of all that.

As we all know, he's obsessed with size (and I think we can all guess why). His actions leading up to Saturday's joke created the sad scenario:
