Video Shows Republicans Fist Bumping After Blocking Veteran Healthcare Bill​

Ted Cruz and Steve Daines were among those seen celebrating after the GOP blocked the passing of the PACT Act.



Vote 'em all out.

 

[QueequegsHead]

Yeah, the thing about these bills is that they give them noble-sounding titles and then load them with a bunch of crap that has nothing to do with the title and which cannot pass as a stand-alone...


You do know that. Right?

 

[jomar]

Except the senate republicans simply obstruct, they don’t negotiate for the good of the people.

 

[QueequegsHead]

And when the shoe is on the other foot the Democrats do the same damned thing.

 

[ll74]

What's a verteran?

 

[knownuthin]

the bill included a clause for UNLIMITED SPENDING

the Rs introduced a new bill, keeping Vet benefits MINUS the UNLIMITED spending

but you all know that and you need to have a MINDLESS OH PEE

Spending on veterans' healthcare. You left that part out. And it is limited but allows expansion for future effects of war that are unknown.

But you know that and don't want veterans to have the healthcare they need.

 

[jomar]

Not so much.

Yet another source you didn't read.

While I understand adding things to a bill to get them passed is SOP, in this instance can you can point out or quote the parts that are a "...bunch of crap that has nothing to do with the title and which cannot pass as a stand-alone." ? Or are you just mouthing talking points?

What else is in the bill? That's what was opposed.

From the link in the OP's post:

"Even though many Republicans supported it just weeks ago. And they celebrated."


"All but one of the 42 Senators who voted against the bill were Republicans, including 25 who previously supported it in June. The Senate had to vote for the PACT Act again because of a technical change the House made to the bill."


"MSNBC's Chris Hayes said the GOP Senators decided to vote against what was previously a "broadly bipartisan" bill to help war veterans in retaliation for the Democrats waiting for the CHIPs Act to pass before revealing that Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer had come to an agreement on what was essentially the long-negotiated Build Back Better Act.

In June, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell threatened that the GOP would not help pass the CHIPs Act if Democrats went forward with the reconciliation package, a statement he made while Manchin was still objecting to it."

Hmmmm...it appears it was more about revenge and payback than any concern over inappropriate things in the bill.

"Fuck an buncha' vet's, we got our jab in at the Dem's!"

Lol.

Of course it's payback.

Which by it's very definition fails to show how the R's don't support Vets.

Or do you think that the R's should just go ahead and vote for it anyway, even after being screwed by the D's, because that would be the noble thing to do?

Pubs want to add an amendment to the bill that restricts additional spending by Dems under the structure of mandatory spending rather than spending by the annual appropriation process. Mandatory spending allows dems to spend spend spend!!!

The bill will pass! More fire! fire! hair on fire bullshit.

You're a military guy if memory serves me correctly? So this bill would be helpful, no? So if the Republicans kill it.....you still going to go out and say it was the right "policy move">?

God forbid some fiscal responsibility. The latest package of spending just supported by Manchin will assure an increase in inflation and high prices for years to come.

Yep, veterans deserve to get fucked over...again....you heard it first from Wrongway.......

Of course, I do. Politicians, of any party are not there to appease their own bruised egos. They are there to take care of business. And taking care of veterans is part of that business even if it means voting with the other side. They (or the Dem's for that matter) should be able to put aside a childish want for revenge to take care of those who put their life and health on the line for our country. Keep in mind those who voted against this bill for no other reason than to make a political statement are also part of the very same group who asked vet's to put themselves on the line in the first place. Now they want to throw them under the bus to make a statement? Doing so shows they shouldn't be in congress but in a kindergarten. I expect adult behavior from my congressional representatives no matter their party, don't you?

No, the left hates the right and the right hates the left and both sides piss at each other over the fence. Mean while the majority in the middle get the golden shower.

Schumer will bring it up for a vote and it will pass.

Pubs have bigger fish to fry with Biden's massive 340 billion tax and spend bill. Manchin sided with Biden, so, stay tuned for climbing inflationary pressure which will affect all economies globally.

That is not an answer to the hypothetical question of "if the republicans kill it".

All you're saying is they will pass it, and the veterans get more cash and better healthcare. Which is a diversion away from the hypothetical...
