I had a great conversation with a Janitor at my VA today

[Victor_c3]

I was walking into the building and I saw a guy dusting and cleaning the two portraits of trump and the VA secretary that are in every VA facility. I told the guy “you don’t have to clean the trump portrait!” He answered that he only does it because his boss tells him to. He then went on to (happily) describe some of the vandalism he’s had to deal with regarding the trump portrait. People spit on it, throw coffee at it, etcetera. It made my day!

I still keep meaning to bring a marker with me to deface his picture. In fact, a few weeks ago as I was checking out of my appointment, I jokingly asked one of the people behind the counter if I could borrow a sharpie to deface the trump picture. Without hesitation, she handed me one and said “please do!”

1. I use the VA

Your story was heart warming. I happened to be in a Navy Federal Credit Union office today, and asked if they had any USS John McCain hats. "chuckle, chuckle".
I'm Army, but I'm looking for a navy hat sold through a ships store. That hat would be official. Not something from Amazon.

I've thought about doing something you described. But, I also say get thee devil off my shoulder.

6. you can get a McCain hat on Amazon..........

I did!

2. Thanks for this. The anedotal evidence is piling up.

It's starting to feel like a landslide/bluewave is building.

The orange con man is going down.

3. Whenever I Visit the VA

I always throw his picture a one-finger salute.

4. Good to hear ! Feel sorry for the folks who have to maintain it but mass frustration leads to

such repeated acts of vandalism

[SCVDem]

5. Pity security at West LA

Their table faces the orange ass 24/7.

I always give them my sympathies. Many are Latino.

7. More Veterans, who have supported Trump, are turning on him as...

...they see he is no friend of the VA. Most understand that the VA represents society’s commitment, as a group, to take responsibility for their health care. Few understand that is a textbook definition of socialism.

8. Eltee you need a dummy cord for the marker.

Or a E-5 SGT to politely remind you.

[Victor_c3]

9. Or a Platoon Sergeant to babysit

My Platoon Sergeant and Squad Leaders loved to give the weirdest guys in the platoon to be my drivers.

One of my drivers was born with two assholes. One was functional and the other one just kind of went in a few inches and oozed stuff. Please don’t ask how I know....

[DashOneBravo]

10. No explanation required..

(And that is the reason I stayed away from Mech Infantry)

[Victor_c3]

12. It's not gay if it happens in the field....

Innapropriate, I know, but that’s the joke we all used when we were in the field.

[DashOneBravo]

19. Well our jobs meant no privacy.

So it’s not uncommon to run across pretty much anything.

18. Stop with helping officers out

With land nav

[DashOneBravo]

20. Lol

Hey you’re mad cause some SGT prob smacked you in the head once or twice. I certainly had that happen to me once when I was a couple steps behind humping some hill.

11. I live in a pretty red area...

Whenever I visit the VA clinic, I'd stick a yellow post-it over tRumps face.....I noticed after my last appointment, 05/22 , The cover was still there when I left....The mood is changing!

[Victor_c3]

14. Sticky notes are a great idea

It makes the point wothout making more work for the guy who has to cleanup everything.

[calimary]

16. That definitely is a good idea!

[marble falls]

13. Its that way at Temple VA. No Fox anywhere in the building, too! Booya.

[El Mimbreno]

15. Wonderful!

I never miss a chance to flip off a trump portrait. And thanks for not capitalizing trump - it doesn't deserve it.

At our two nearest Forest Service district offices, a certain portrait is conspicuously absent.

17. I'd piss on his portrait LT

Well I’m a old infantry troop 53 now but I’d still piss on it his portrait
