Wow. This is a remark which is going viral. I can’t believe she was stupid enough to say this. The veterans are a group that you don’t mess with. This is akin to Kristy Noem talking about killing a puppy. Whatever we may differ on as Americans, we love our animals. And the same thing is true of our veterans. They are universally respected — except by Donald Trump who calls them “suckers” and “losers” and asks, “What’s in it for them?” And it looks like that attitude has rubbed off onto Trump’s staff.
I went to my VA hospital this week. Someone drew a mustache and horns on Trump’s official picture hanging in the lobby. 😂 He’s messing with the vets. It won’t be forgotten.

Habba talking about who’s “fit” to have a jobin government right now is a pure hoot. She was a parking lot lawyer who didn’t know how to introduce evidence at trial and that’s how she lost Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan. And now she’s a White House counsel, who sails into work wearing leather pants and fur coats. Not quite the norm but then nothing in this shitshow of an administration is.
Habba should not have made this crack. This is going to come back to haunt her. Bigly.
Remember that? Trump saying, “Nobody wants to see that.” People who are adults and understand that we wouldn’t be here but for our veterans are okay with “seeing that” Donald.
The man is draft dodging scum from a family of draft dodging scum. And his bimbo lawyer dares to say, “maybe they’re not fit.” I dunno. Seems like this is political hari kari to me. But there does seem to be this belief in Trump world that Mad King Donald can say and do anything he wants. Mebbe. Mebbe not.
I’ve had too many vets for friends over the years not to be enraged at this. They’ve told me about WWII, or Korea, or Vietnam, or Afghanistan. I have marveled at their stories. There is not a single veteran alive that deserves this kind of disrespect. This is wrong. A lot of what Trump is doing is very wrong but this ranks up there in the top five. For now.
Let’s see if Trump starts cutting their benefits. Or maybe I should say, “How badly he starts cutting their benefits.” And Trump could mess with HUD, which would affect vets on Section 8. This is not only unconscionable, it is completely un-American. But what else can you expect from Putin’s puppet?
It sounds like Alina has drunk the vodka as well and she’s only too happy to help Trump sell us all out, with the focus today being on the most honorable among us, those who have served in uniform.

Friends, if you have already donated, thank you. If you still want to contribute, you could go ad-free for $5.00 a month. More on changes to PZ on Thursday, which is our 7th year anniversary. Ursula
In the armed forces there are field latrines – a lightly constructed place with thin wooden or canvas wall with a row of stalls. Troops relieve themselves on a “throne” into half-barrels of 55 gallon drums. One of the “fun” details is getting tasked to “burn the shitters”, a literally smelly and shitty job. Those who’ve screwed up find themselves hauling the full containers out and putting in empty ones, trying to avoid slop getting on them. THEN the real fun begins. One pours in diesel fuel and sets the whole thing on fire and THEN has to stand there and stir it until the waste is consumed. It’s a truly nasty task and one I’m thankful I never had to do.
I bring this up (and will include a picture) because Alina Habba isn’t fit to burn the shitters! I do however think they are quite appropriate for her to strip down to her bikini and settle into – and be the biggest turd in the whole can!
burning shitters
Fun fact: Any veteran, any veteran at all, has had more time in service of their country than the last five generations of the entire Trump family COMBINED.
Another fun fact: Trump was a bigly YUGE fan of Queen Elizabeth. SHE served in the British Military during WWII much to the displeasure of her parents. I never paid much attention to her or all the royal stuff most of my life. Later on when it couldn’t be avoided I saw her mostly as an understated, proper older lady. Then I saw clips and pics of her during WWII where she served as a mechanic fixing vehicles. She really was quite beautiful before she got old.
It’s well known the men in the Royal family are all expected to serve and they do. I think part of the animus between Harry and Prince William is that Harry actually insisted on deploying to an actual war zone and stood into harm’s way. That he was “in the shit” was kept secret for a while, but someone blew the whistle (William perhaps?) that Harry was in a place where he could wind up KIA and he got brought out. Knowledge of where he was put his entire unit in a much higher state of danger so that was that. Anyway, the fact that even the would be Queen insisted that she too serve is pretty damned cool.
And as you say the Trump family (on both sides) goes back generations as fucking draft dodgers. CHICKEN HAWKS.
She was still beautiful. I.guess you equate beauty with being young. My husband thinks I am.beautiful and I am 75. His favorite actress is Helen Mirren, who is around my age and hasn’t had plastic surgery like too many American stars.
I enjoy your writing, but that.line was annoying. Women don’t look.the same at 50 as they did at 20, but their years of experience and the knowledge they’ve gained makes them.beautiful in a different way. Helen Mirren, not This Year’s Blonde.
