1. No, not good. I really hate Trump

[efhmc]

3. I was taught growing up not to "use" the word hate, which meant to me I could still say the word in my head.

The idea was as a supposed follower of Christ I was suppose to love others. But now with that malignant mushroom in charge of our country I need a new better word even if I only use it inside my head.

4. Abhor

Abhorrence would express both loathing with repugnance.

[PatSeg]

16. I hardly ever used the word "hate" in regards

to people, but with Trump I probably say, write, or think it several times a day.

The same with the word "evil", a word I generally reserved for stories or horror movies, rarely in real life. Not anymore.

19. The word "hate"

If and when applies, use it by all means. Personally I believe Trump dissevers all the hate people can throw at him.

2. Trump needs high casualty rate

so he can say we're not leaving Iran until after 2028 election.

5. Hey America, how many people need to die to cover up for this motherfking monster? HOW MANY???

[haele]

6. Umm. No. Need to really vet people you hire for that type of job

I have to trust military folks who will 1. Know that could be their personal effects going to loved ones and 2. just see it as another responsibility of their existing job with benefits.
I don't trust the "any Jane or Joe" off the street that's not gone through a vetting process, training, and understands or cares what the recipients of those personal effects might be going through.
Not that there aren't scumbag thieves, drunks, or psychos in the military. But they're more likely to handle other people's effects with respect and responsibility than someone who is just looking for a better paying part time job than food service or a delivery gig.

Just my opinion.

10. Theft is likely

for that low wage. When I was in the service specially trained active duty folk performed this task.

[modrepub]

12. Agree

I suspect a lot of these soldier’s personal effects are going to be highly valued treasures to their loved ones. Hopefully those involved will recognize that.

Knew a guy who volunteered to play bagpipes at a veterans cemetery. Opposite me on the political spectrum but I always respected him for doing it. Would be good to see volunteers do this job. IMHO civilians can be very isolated from our service people.

[not fooled]

7. They're probably already hiding the actual number of dead and wounded

Because nothing this maladministration says can be trusted, my money is on many more casualties already that will be covered up as long as possible.

9. When do we get to the part where they're dropping pallets full of hundred dollar bills?

[haele]

13. Probably already at that point.

How else are we getting foreign fighters to be our "boots on the ground" until we call up the National Guards and Reservists again.
Being as this is a much larger battlefield than Iraq was, I suspect we're also going to start drafting after the Midterms.

[BattleRow]

18. I've been saying that the draft will be reinstituted for some time now

[Retrograde]

11. Another well-thought out Trump project

Like the "ballroom": destroy something first with flagrant disregard for laws, then (maybe) start the planning process. Those Epstein files must be really incriminating.

[snowybirdie]

14. How many

Young people have to die because of the Epstein files?

[progressoid]

15. $15.60 an hour.

That's below McDonald's wages.

[Figarosmom]

17. Truly isn't a good sign.

Not a good sign to be fighting an illegal war. Can trump deny their benefits since the war isn't legal?

[malaise]

20. Actually it's a very good sign

All these anti- government ignorant private sector and tech goons don’t have an effin clue and do not give a flying fuck about running a functioning government.
Let the idiots who put them in office see how it works - or ahem…puts their lives in danger.
Ignorance is never bliss.
But they know everything
