Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Honestly pretty funny
Revoke his Asian card.
New name: Hank Cow.
So he's saying that the left is going to call him a white supremacist and he's owning it? He sounds proud of it. His name is Hung Cao? This is another leopards at my face waiting to happen. Also seems like he's stealing some valor.
Cao has also claimed in multiple interviews that he was “shot at” and “blown up” while serving in the Navy, and and has “scars,” describing himself as “100% disabled,” but his service record doesn’t show him receiving a Purple Heart, which is given to service members who have been seriously injured by enemy fire, or the Navy’s Combat Action Ribbon. When USA Today asked him about his service record in 2024, he issued an angry statement.
“I want to give you all a window into what it’s like being a combat veteran who had the gall to run for public office against a career politician. Any veteran will read this with the same disgust. Imagine being asked to provide documentation of the dates and times Al Qaeda shot at you. Imagine being asked, if you’re a disabled veteran, why don’t you have a Purple Heart?” Cao posted.
Edit: Could this be PTSD?
I'm a Navy veteran with service connected PTSD. People question if I have PTSD sometimes and it does indeed piss me off, but I'm not out here claiming to have been blown up while serving. People are starting to become aware that PTSD doesn't always stem from combat, and that awareness will help more people going forward. Mine comes from being attacked and raped by my shipmates, I didn't expect to survive it.
I don't feel disgust that USA Today asked him about his service, instead I wonder why he didn't have a better response. He could have offered education about PTSD or said he wanted to increase transparency around disability ratings in the VA, or any number of things.

I'll take "things that make me hate humanity" for $1000, Alex.
Bet that's the cause of more cases of PTSD that actual combat
I think so, too. This is why it's important to talk about non-combat PTSD. So more people get the help they need, and there's less stigma around it.
That's exactly it. If it is PTSD, he should talk about that. He's talking about physical scars, so it's hard to parse.
I'm really sorry about the PTSD, especially the cause. I hope the help you're getting is beneficial. IME, people who haven't been exposed to mental health issues, can be really stupid about them.
Man theyre really scraping that barrel
It gets worse:
“There’s a place in Monterey, California called Lover’s Point. The original name was Lovers of Christ Point. Now it’s become, they took out the Christ. It’s Lover’s Point. And it’s really, Monterrey is a dark place now, a lot of witchcraft and the Wiccan community has really taken over there,” Cao said.
His comments came in a 2023 interview with Sean Feucht, a far-right pastor who railed against COVID restrictions and wokeness.
“We can’t let that happen to Virginia,” Cao warned. “Virginia, I mean, especially down in Roanoke, they’re gun-loving people. Richmond, too, and in Virginia Beach, and we just need to mobilize Christians across the nation.”

Sigh. I'm not sure who irritates me more - the dumbass Karens that were having meltdowns over social distancing and masks (and then later, the vaccine) or people still talking about "woke" unironically.
Not even, they are selling these appointments, the president is. It's all for sale. Other qualifications exist, but they are paying I bet you.
Thats why its a dumb grift, only idiots would pay for these jobs
They make a lot of money from those jobs in this new gangster run america unforuntaltey. This is like monarchial europe in a way, or the old popeships where the pope played everyone as the whoremaster of rome.
They do now make off well from these payments, but you are correct in the future they may not.
Yeah I'm sure those veterans will totally defend his stolen valor. I hear they enjoy that. I've found that people who like to brag about combat have never seen it.
13 For such men are counterfeit apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 So it is no great surprise if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, but their end will correspond with their deeds.

Oh yeah they got those. Down in Mississippi. Waiting for ya. Go get it.
Well at least we know he's a genius.
I do feel like a little bit of slavery could be okay
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime…”
I can think of some crimes you could easily attribute to every piece of MAGA trash plaguing your country.
Fits the mold.
Ohhhhh! “Shocking” headline…
