Veterans toxic exposure bill delayed as cloture attempt rejected - Roll Call
An effort to give millions of veterans easier access to health and disability benefits suffered another surprising setback Wednesday.
"An effort to give millions of veterans easier access to health and disability benefits suffered another surprising setback Wednesday on the Senate floor when supporters couldn’t muster the 60 votes needed to limit debate. The 55-42 procedural vote on cloture derailed, at least temporarily, a sweeping expansion of veterans benefits that appeared to be heading to President Joe Biden’s desk this week. A nearly identical bill, without the tax tweak, passed the Senate on a lopsided 84-14 vote last month with strong bipartisan support. But Republicans mounted an 11th-hour challenge to the legislation and decided not to let the revised bill advance Wednesday."
First of all, who is to say that veterans even need this bill? We don't have proof that these so-called burn pits are hurting vets.....what is hurting vets is being forced to serve along side trannies and fags....Dems must be crazy if they thought brave Conservative patriots who love America and our troops were going to let sleepy Joe sign 2 major pieces of legislation in one week....of course it had to be blocked....And yea, Republicans can pretend it's some obscure mandatory spending provision -- problem is -- they voted for basically the same bill a couple of weeks ago...and the bill that came back from the House had 90 more Republicans voting for it....but since none of the Republican base will even know or care about all of that -- it will play well and the GOP can claim they were just standing against the radical leftist Dems.....hell, they can even claim the bill had trannys and CRT stuff in it....who cares, just make it up......anything to distract from the fact that you blocked a bipartisan bill you just voted for -- just because you were butthurt over the CHIPS bill passing...and the best part of it all is, Libs like communist Jon Stewart and the moms of dead veterans are triggered....lol...
"Stewart, who vigorously advocated for 9/11 first responders, had particular disdain for Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Penn., who claimed the bill would create $400 billion in discretionary spending, going so far as to call him an "f--king coward." On the Senate floor, Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., hit back at Toomey, saying: "If you have the guts to send somebody to war, then you better have the guts to take care of them when they get home." We’re gonna get it done. … You don’t tell their cancer to take a recess, tell their cancer to stay home and go visit their families," he said. "This disgrace, if this is America first, America is f---ed."

Apparently this bill is named after this lady's son......lol...she is so triggered that the GOP blocked her bill....doesn't she know that the Dems are trying to turn her grandchildren gay and forcing them into child sex trafficking? Why is she directing her anger at the party who consistently stands up for the veterans?? They wear flag lapel pins for God's sake..what more do you want lady?
