California Guard vets told to repay millions in enlistment bonuses

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/24/us/national-guard-recruitment-bonus-repayment/index.html

I don't really feel sorry for these guys. Being in the military myself, they always tell you that you are responsible for knowing your pay, bonuses, and entitlements. And if they overpay you or make a mistake they are going to take it back. There have been instances when I received extra money or a bonus. I always reasearch to find out why and if it was correct. I don't spend it until it is confirmed. I make sure to keep all my paperwork. Sometimes it was an error and sometimes it was correct.

Ridiculous


I live in a diverse middle class neighborhood on a golf course in a suburb of San Antonio. i would say that the neighborhood is 60% republican and 40% Democrat. A lot of trump signs, but quite a few Clinton signs, too. Some yards actually have both signs up.

This morning, a few Clinton signs were torn down.

Watching MSNBC right now

About Rodney King beating. Nothing has changed, that was just a beating. Now they get away with murder.

"Silent Majority" is now

The loud minority. They are no longer in the majority, but are the loudest and most obnoxious. They are the old white tea party/deplorables.

Right wing elites are happy with a President Clinton

Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, drudge, coulter, trump, etc... would love a Clinton presidency because it means more money for them. They have an enemy that they complain about for 4 years and get the deplorables all riled up. That's book sales, webpage visits, tv ratings, etc... Just like they did with Presidents Obama and Clinton. It's harder to defend a republican president than it is to blame a democratic president for everything.

"Undecided voters"

Some of these people really don't seem undecided. Especially the two who were in favor of closed borders.
