Somehow I'm not surprised in the slightest. Nothing The GQP does surprises me these days.

Pretty/petty bullshit "journalism".

In the beginning of the article, they do explain that the only reason that the Senate had to vote on this again was because "a technical change the House made to the bill", but the don't really highlight that THOSE changes were why folks objected.

But it's not till the very end of the article we find out that the reason it lost support was because "this version of the PACT Act contains an irresponsible Democratic provision allowing Congress to recklessly spend an additional $400 billion on programs totally unrelated to our veterans."

How is Perrysburg, fuck OH these days?


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

It's confusing why so many veterans would want to vote for a party who cuts needed funding for The VA, whilst giving money to there thieving friends on Wall street. Shameful.

Spare us, plus more democrats than republicans voted for the CHIPS act, which some claim is corporate welfare. And you haven't refuted the claim that Democrats added $400 billion on programs totally unrelated to veterans.

If that is accurate then it should be voted down.


Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
