According to NBC News, “Blindsided veterans erupted in anger and indignation Thursday after Senate Republicans suddenly tanked a widely supported bipartisan measure that would have expanded medical coverage for millions of combatants exposed to toxic burn pits during their service. … But in a move that shocked and confused veteran groups Wednesday night, 41 Senate Republicans blocked the bill’s passage, including 25 who had supported it a month ago. … The Senate passed the original legislation 84-14 in June. It underwent minor changes when it moved to the House, where it passed 342-88. When the bill returned to the Senate, the bill had not changed much but the view — and vote — of 25 senators did.”
And then from The Washington Post, “The Senate had passed the bill Wednesday in a 64-33 vote. Days earlier, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had said there would be bipartisan support for the bill’s passage in the House and vowed to send it to Biden’s desk as soon as possible. At the time, House Republican leaders had planned to let their rank and file vote their conscience on the bill. However, after the stunning news Wednesday night of a deal between Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Democratic leaders on a separate climate, health-care and taxes bill, House GOP leaders urged members to oppose the chips bill as retribution, in an effort to deny Biden and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) a legislative win.”
RepubliKKKlans hate Democrats so much that they will side with China and stab veterans in the back. Yet! Yet, time after time and election after election, the American voter always votes for RepubliKKKlans because they are the “pro” America and “pro” military party when, in fact, they are not. But stupid America always believes their lies. I totally give up. I really, truly f***ing give up with this country of f***tards. It never fails. It never f***ing fails. RepubliKKKlans claim to be the America first party, but they vote and legislate as the America last party, yet no one calls them out on it. Idiot America votes for them anyway because I live in stupid hell. Welcome to stupid America. We vote for the stupid party here, and we like it!
