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

[Delldude]

IN THE ORIGINAL BILL that the GOP Senators voted for. It's still mandatory in the revised bill.

No because it's the right thing to do. Those Republican Senators knew that when they voted for it in the original Bill

Why did they have to vote a second time in Senate then?

 

[Delldude]

What branch did Stewart serve?

Learn how the process works retard.

The House passes a version. The Senate passes a version

A committee reconciles those two versions and both Houses vote on that.

In both the original Senate version and the reconciled version

Read this slowly now

FUNDING WAS MANDATORY

Procedure.

What branch did Stewart serve?

You need to have served to care about the Vets?

More power to him that he DIDN’T serve and cares this much

 

[bodecea]

What branch did Stewart serve?

Perhaps the same one you served in. And Toomey. And Cancun Cruz. And Hitler Hawley.

Duh....

You overlooked Biden and Trump.......

Procedure.

That was when it changed.

 

[Lesh]

Duh....

Where does he say that the spending was discretionary in the first version and non-discretionary in the second?

He doesn’t? Oh

That’s because the change from discretionary to mandatory was IN the first bill. The one that 25 GOP Senators voted for and then voted against

Dope

Explains why so many Righties here don't get why our sick vets need to be taken care of. If they haven't served, they don't care and they don't get why others would care......just like the fat former guy.

In 2017, when Trump visited the Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day, he visited the grave of Robert Kelly, the son of John Kelly, the then secretary of homeland security.

While standing at the grave of Robert Kelly, who was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan, Trump turned to the others and said, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”

 

[bodecea]

That was when it changed.

Which is why that procedure is used. Which is why that procedure is always used.

Some Vets are so drunk on the Koolaid that if this issue doesn’t touch them directly.. they don’t care either

Sad

It says discretionary in the first 'version'......which was changed to mandatory.
Toomey doesn't have a problem with the $285 billion being mandatory spending, as it should. It's the 'trick f**k' on the $400 billion part that was previously listed as discretionary.

Look it up, you might learn something.

Clean up on aisle four!

Facing overwhelming backlash after tanking a previously-approved veterans health benefits bill (known as the PACT Act) out of spite over Democrats’ climate and tax legislation, the Senate’s Republican leadership now seems to have realized that the tantrum isn’t worth it.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), one of the 25 Republicans who had abruptly switched their initial “yes” vote to a “no,” signaled on Monday that the bill, which provides aid for veterans suffering from toxic exposures, will overcome the blockade when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) puts it up for a vote again.

“It will pass this week,” McConnell said.

Of course it will pass. Repubs aren't going to carry that colossal miscalculation in to the midterms. They are desperate to wash off the stench of their callousness towards vet's health.

 

[easyt65]

Hey look! Another one that just believes whatever Republicans say. It’s an epidemic.

.....says the blind sheepish indoctrinated pot to the kettle...

 

[pknopp]

Neither party has much to stand on, pknopp.

Of course not but the argument this time was directed towards Republicans.

Those the same vet's whose healthcare was in terrible shape before Trump fixed it?
