Read the bill dumbass, ppl can't get into a VA now and you think giving them a false promise will magically get these ppl in over a major backlog. They voted no because it doesn't do anything to admit them but provide a false promise...unless you are under this impression govt entities ate efficient

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, summed up the concern as stemming from promising lots of assistance “that might look really good,” but the bottom line is that those “who really need the care would never get into a VA facility.”

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), another member of the panel, agreed. “What we’re concerned with is that you’ve got a backlog of 222,000 cases now, and if you implement, by legislative fiat, the 23 presumptions, we’re gonna go to a million and a half to two and a half million backlog,” he said. Tillis has advanced his own burn pits bill that would leave it to the military and VA to determine which illnesses automatically were presumed to be service-connected. That tally is likely to cover fewer people. “So the question we have is, while making a new promise, are we going to be breaking a promise for all those veterans that need care today?”
Not only that but Jameslie is a liberal and they have never cared about the military. As with most things they feign outrage at something they don't support in the first place.

i always thought it was strange how Nixon receives this perpetual flogging and ridicule and is held up to younger generations (who likely do not GAF) — as an example of the crooked politician

Granted i’m not an expert on his administration - but i do know how admin had some success in making diplomatic inroads w/Communist China — which somewhat leveraged power against the Soviet Union

He doesn’t seem to get credit for that as he should, no ?

Also — he and his admin had to suffer the humiliating and maddening Olympic gold medal loss to the USSR in that BIZARRE game that had three endings - right ?

And some Presidents we just totally forget

Like Franklin Pierce....when is the last time you thought about HIS admin????

Well, I don't know too many people who were alive to experience his admin firsthand as with Nixon.

Nixon had an IQ of 131, so he was a very smart man. I've heard interviews where he went onto detail about how certain actions would effect various countries in different ways and in detail how the effects would boomerang in other places. Unfortunately he also had some faults that ruined him.
 
Which African talks more about free speech than this one?
So the boss of a company Fires employees who openly badmouth him. For one that’s called insubordination. And two he has every right to fire those who don’t not like the way he runs his business as he is their boss, and would you trust the work ethic of those openly critical of you?
 
Pride fest in Louisville i see. All day. Thought this weekend was Juneteenth? Assumed the pride stuff would be the first weekend. Is there some reason it is in the middle of the month?

Guess blacks got this weekend for one year. Getting the usual Dem treatment. Don't worry I'm sure next election the libs will bring out the Kente cloth again
 
Bill Maher & I agree. Guess I truly am a lefty:

"Do you think that Ron DeSantis is going to be way better than Donald Trump?" Ball asked.

"Yes, yes I do," Maher quickly responded while raising his hand. "

"He's not certifiably insane. That's a great one to start off with," Maher said. "You know what Ron DeSantis won't be doing? He won't be poop-tweeting every day. It won't be, like, having feuds with Bette Midler on Twitter. He's not an insane person." "

It’s pretty crazy how this group’s entire identify is based on victimhood and claiming that they’re oppressed when literally every industry falls over themselves to cater to their feelings and demands.

A white person’s career and life will be ruined for daring to offend a black person. Meanwhile, there’s absolutely no consequences for the opposite scenario. Instead, you get awards, TV gigs, political office, etc.

Considering what Obama did with the NSA (and the IRS), if Nixon were a Dem in the 2000s, Watergate wouldn’t even make the front page of CNN.
