Senate passes veterans health bill after Republicans cave to pressure

[Magnus]

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Tuesday passed legislation expanding lifesaving health care benefits for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans exposed to toxic burn pits.

The 86-11 vote came after Republicans agreed to lift their blockade of the popular bill, caving to pressure from more than 60 veterans groups — and comedian Jon Stewart — who had railed against Republicans for days outside the Capitol.

Many of the veterans who had camped on the Senate steps, braving heat, humidity and thunderstorms, watched the vote from the gallery in the Senate chamber. The bill has already cleared the House and now heads to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature.

Jon Stewart is a Prog shill propagandist whose real interest is the hundreds of billions of dollars of more spending included in the bill. He was activated for this.

You piece of shit.

Stewart's real interest is people. People who do the tough jobs for us. First Responders and US military Veterans

Fuck off

If we are going to send these men into these places then we had better step up and take care of them. It's not okay to knowingly expose them to toxins and then turn a ay. Pork or no pork attached they are entitled to this help.

While that's true...there WAS no pork

LYING about an issue such as this is beyond unconscionable

And I'm not chastising initforme here. He's merely repeating lies told by Republican politicians and right wing media

 

[initforme]

Thank God for men like Stewart. Standing up for our courageous solders who were needlessly expos d to toxins that are wreaking havoc on their health. Same for the 9/11 responders.

 

[TNHarley]

Republicans are such fucking pussies

I haven't read the bill but I will take your word for it.

 

[initforme]

John Stewart should run for office. He stands up for the little guy over the big guy. That's always the right thing to do.

Fuck off

Comedy Central is just another Prog Socialist Globalist tool to reeducate Americans. The Daily Show is a slice of it. Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Samantha Bee were of that program. They are all deep state operatives. Those affected by this bill by your sentences are secondary to the extra spending. I have relatives also. There is one thing extra. We are touting government employees has the upper echelon. And you are doing that. But you wanted the police defunded and many were killed. You wanted military people killed and worse as the Repubs were the war mongers. The first responders in areas where it is busy are in ghettos or low-income neighborhoods with little taxes paid by the citizens costing the taxpayers bookoo dollars with taxes and extra charges for Obamacare.

Comedy Central is a reeducation channel? Nobody is forced to watch it. Swing and a miss. The people "living in ghettos" as referred to by you are americans The first responders don't judge, the go into all situations and help people. Trying to block the money they needed after 9/11 was beyond pathetic.

yea really....the 2 fucking parties and the diehards who run them are the reason this country is having the problems it has right now.....just because once in a while they do something right and throw out a bone,which always seems to happen around election time, does not mean they are something to be happy about.....overall they both suck and should go straight to hell along with the asswipes who follow them without question....

Sure, he is. And your orange douche bag is not a con-man, not a racist, always faithful to his wives, cares nothing for money, and is a patriot.

Keep drinking that orange kool-aid. Would hate for you to wake up.
