[candycorn]

President Biden is set to sign a bi-partisan defense bill that passed the Senate 88-11.

Senate Passes $768 Billion Defense Bill, Sending It to Biden (Published 2021)

Lawmakers in both parties linked arms in an overwhelming vote authorizing an increase in the Pentagon’s budget of roughly $24 billion more than President Biden requested.

Good to see Biden, the Democrats and Republicans in the Congress working together to pay our troops more. Another sign of a return to the normalcy that has been missing from Washington during the previous administration.

For those who don't have the Times...

Congress passes defense policy bill with budget boost, military justice reforms

After months of debate and weeks of angst, the Senate has sent its annual defense bill to the president.

Thank you Mr. President.

Shame on the GOP for folding and not demanding the vax mandate be removed.

Nothing will destroy our military faster than forcing that shit into their young healthy bodies since they have virtually zero chance of dying from WuFlu yet will now live with life long heart and blood issues if they don’t die from them.

The one I quoted.

"Another sign of a return to the normalcy that has been missing from Washington during the previous administration."

Yeah...both parties are working together; passing large bills that didn't have anything to do with covid relief. There didn't seem to be a lot of those under the blob. The Defense bill pass 88-11.

The $1T+ infrastructure bill, this $700B+ Defense bill....

Anything else?

Both sides have a 'my way or the highway' attitude.

and neither want to work with the other side to get things passed.

Now, start your usual 'But your side' bullshit.

Well a large number of Republicans are working with Democrats to pass large bills under Biden's leadership.

Sorry if that pisses you off.

It is so grotesque and sad that Sleepy Joe is firing hundreds maybe thousands of individuals who actually did qualify and could serve in the military without fear of getting their vaginas infiltrated by an enemy because of the ridiculous Fraudi Flu mandates. The Fraudi Jabs are total fail based on the facts.

The question is why do democrats support the military? What the hell does the military do to protect US citizens in today's world? Anti-America illegal aliens are invading all over and the gay ass, Europhobic military brass is all butthurt about Russia and the Ukraine, and China and Taiwan which nobody in the USA could give two shits about.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Thats pretty easy to do when you kick out so many of our military who refuse the jab.

It never ceases to amaze me all of the ridiculous shit that Republicans have been brainwashed into believing by their lying, dishonest and destructive party.

The military has been forced to take vaccinations since Washington lead them. None were as safe as the one for COVID-19.

Wrong, they were forced to take many dangerous vaccines.

In this case, there is no reason for young, healthy military people to take an experimental vaccine for a virus they have a 0.02% chance of dying from.
