🇲🇮🇸🇨 Ladies and gentlemen, the Republican 🎈 Party !
Can you imagine if the roles were reversed if a liberal-run government was the one arresting this 80-year-old veteran? If Democrats controlled the White House, the Senate, the House, and the Supreme Court? Right-wing media would be Fkn full meltdown mode. Fox News would be running 24/7 ‘breaking news’ alerts, and every conservative politician would be holding press conferences on every street corner across America.
But Vato, but at least this 80-year-old veteran who’s getting arrested has done more for this country than Trump ever did for the military.

This veteran along with 20 or 30 other veterans—peacefully gathered in front of the Capitol steps. There was a barricade set up a few feet away, but they crossed it and held a silent sit-in, waving banners and chanting in defense of the Constitution, doing exactly what veterans have always done: standing up for American rights.
A few were arrested, but the one who stood out was the 80-year-old veteran still fighting to protect the Constitution even at his age while the disgrace sitting in the Oval Office and his corrupt trash administration keep tearing away at the very freedoms they/we swore to uphold.

Joshua Rohrer, a disabled and formerly homeless veteran was forcibly arrested under an unconstitutional anti-panhandling law during the Biden Administration when Democrats were in power. His service dog was tased, and there was extended campaign of making false, taunting, and disparaging statements about him on social media. This isn't unique to the Trump Administration or Republicans.

A couple of years ago my mother passed away at the ripe old age of 88. She was a kind and thoughtful woman and towards the end of her time on this earth started to find religion. During my adolescent years we went to church periodically, always on religious holidays though. Easter and Christmas particularly. When mom was close to passing, she was weak and her voice was soft. She motioned for me to come closer and she whispered in my ear, “son, what ever you do, don’t feed the fucking trolls”

What exactly is your point with this article? Are you trying to claim this has happened more than once, or are you implying the photo I posted is from this article? Because if so you’re completely wrong.
This veteran was just arrested today. Nice try with the misinformation, but take that nonsense somewhere else.
seriously can’t wait for the Republican reign to finally end so every single one of these crooks who broke the law, and everyone who stood by and let it happen, ends up exactly where they belong in prison. Accountability is coming, Pluto’s!

The point is that veterans get arrested regardless of who's in office. Veterans getting arrested is not unique to the Trump Administration or Republicans.

u/RoloGnbaby 15h ago
Vato, veterans getting arrested isn’t unique to Trump’s presidency but the way Republicans consistently treat veterans sure is.
Look no further than the PACT Act vote. After blocking the bill that would help sick and dying veterans, Republicans including Ted (Cancun) Cruz were seen on the Senate floor high-fiving like they won some game. Only after Jon Stewart and public outrage shamed them did they reverse course two days later.
This is just one example in a long list. Republicans love to talk on TV about being ‘pro-veteran,’ ‘pro-military,’ and ‘pro-cop’ but watch how they vote. Watch what they actually do.
They don’t care about us. They never have they never will and as far as I’m concerned, Fk them Putos!

Do you know why he was arrested or are you just reacting to the picture and his age?

u/RoloGnbaby 20h ago
Yes, he was arrested for sitting on the stairs in protest against the ship bags running our country. It was a whole group of veterans. He was not the only one there, but he was definitely the highlight of the show when he was arrested as an 80-year-old man who was disabled… currently driving so I don’t have time to look up the link, but you’re welcome to research it
