Anger as Republicans block bill to help military veterans exposed to toxins

[Moonglow]

Trump served as commander and chief took no pay, leader of the free world. He definitely served

He was required to take pay, what he did with it after payday is his personal problem, and he was a draft dodger when called to serve his nation during the Vietnam War.

Well there is a seven-year-old grandmother was cancer sitting in jail right now but walking through the capital.. she was captured is she your hero?

When you are living in your mommy's basement not working, you do not have to file taxes...so you are safe.

Didn’t you take military welfare to benifit your life? Sucking on my tit to survive? How old are you?

Obama did what democrats told him to do.. little of this. That didn’t really do anything for anyone

English is your second language.Congress makes the rules for veterans and allocates funding.

Trump knew more than the generals in Vietnam
If not for his heel spurs, he would have won that war

No he had a reason he couldn’t go,, but he served later in life no pay.. WOW what a leader. A Inspiration for us all

Only he didn’t say McCain
He insulted all POWs

Trump considers POWs to be losers

Trump is who he is. His spews were used by Progs because the stage is their way of convincing people to vote for them. Now we are seeing the reality of a potential fiat currency end game. And I hope our currency is not expiring.

The Democrats were setting up another scam that would have diverted that money to their pet projects.

"The PACT Act as written includes a budget gimmick that would allow $400 billion of current law spending to be moved from the discretionary to the mandatory spending category. This provision is completely unnecessary to achieve the PACT Act’s stated goal of expanding health care and other benefits for veterans. However, it would enable an additional $400 billion in future discretionary spending completely unrelated to veterans

Thanks. I figured it was probably something like this. Liberals are such vile liars.

What’s your point ? Have one?

The real issue is he is supposed to be a comedian. What he is...is something else. Something from something insidious. A department within a department within a department of agendas designed to get us to where we are headed. A man who believes he is superior to others as so many others do of his ilk. Yet he is supposed to be a comedian.

Let's start, Conservatives used P.J. O'Rourke for years...

Trump has on many times walking back comments said he was only joking...

So funny games can only be done by a certain side...

Jon Stewart has been political comedy for decades... He has dealt with issues using comedy and satire and while heading up the daily show was considered to be one of the most important voices in political media. He has at times has also been very serious..


Comedy and Satire has been used in politics since the middle ages.

You can't seem to deal with what he is saying so you try and pretend that him being a highly accomplished comedian is a reason not listen to him.. Jon Stewart has shown time and time again to be far more than a comedian and consider one of the top political commentators of his day and you can ask Bill O'Reilly and many conservative commentors that...

How

I know of a guy who is his own grandpa.

How is your father doing?

 

[Correll]

It was already negotiated. This is not about what was in the bill.

Dude. They changed teh bill since it was written. Thus, changing votes is completely valid. That you libs pretend otherwise, is you being dishonest.

He died in Nam, he didn't run and hide like Trump.

As an adult, he is responsible for what he says

Lol what a loser

Link? Besides, it's irrelevant in this case. They broke the veterans they need to stand up to help fix them.

"They’re manufacturing reasons to vote against legislation that they literally voted for just last month," Butler added. "And so it’s really a new level of low."

Veterans who were exposed to toxins during deployments said the lives of sick and dying people who served the nation are on the line.

"It’s angering. It’s frustrating," said Tom Porter, 54, who developed asthma after spending a year in Afghanistan with the U.S. Navy Reserve from 2010 to 2011.

In the first week of his deployment, Porter said he suffered a serious reaction with his lungs and could not breathe.

Le Roy Torres, 49, who was diagnosed with a lung disease and a toxic brain injury after he was deployed to Iraq with the U.S. Army, said he was devastated about the failure of the bill and urged lawmakers to reconvene immediately.

Is that anyway to treat the veterans, they are spiteful at Joe Manchins agreeing to the package.

Try putting up the clean bill and you might get er done….But we know we can’t have that.

Did the Repubs that sent them to Iraq cut spending to pay for the war there? Why were you not demanding offsets to pay for the war that caused these Vets the problems?

IMHO the whole crowd from W on down should be made to pay for it.....Cheney should be living in a shoe box in the middle of the road.
