Real geniuses…

Well…don’t the geniuses running the repub party understand that screwing with sick veterans is not a winning issue for them? I guess they thought they could get away with not funding their healthcare like they’ve gotten away with screwing the country over for decades, but something has changed and I think it’s Jon Stewart. Jon has been out there lambasting them on every news show that there is since they voted against the bill last week…and he was pulling no punches just like he did when he fought for healthcare for the first responders in NYC who put their lives on the line on 9/11….and this time all of lies that the repubs were spouting about 400 billion dollars of pork in the bill didn’t work and now they are backpedaling so fast that their shoes are smoking….and Chuck Schumer has promised that the bill will come up for a vote again this week, putting the repubs on the record…again, if they vote against it…the difference this time is that the media has a spotlight on the bill and if they do vote against it, they are going to have to explain those votes…and jsut a few minutes ago, turtle mcconnell has said the bill is going to pass this week the pressure has been so high on him and his fellow traitors…so, thank you Jon for all your had work to take care of our sick veterans…pretty damn good for a “minor celebrity” to quote Pat Toomey….

Fist bumping as veterans die…

Well…I know there have been ample examples of the ghoulishness of the modern repub party, but Friday they turned it up to 11 on the ghoul scale….after the repubs killed a bill in the senate that would giver extended health care benefits to veterans who were injured by being exposed to toxic burn pits as the military tried to get rid of all of the toxic waste they generate, ted cruz and the rest of these ghouls fist bumped each other to celebrate the killing of many veterans who will die because of their vote…and the super ghoulish senator toomey came out with a statement that “they knew what they signed up for” to justify his no vote and he went on to say he just didn’t care that vets are going to die…just as long as he could deny Biden a “win” on the legislation…I mean, how ghoulish is that? He doesn’t give a crap about vets at all, just as long as he can use their deaths to deny Biden a legislative “victory”….on our side it wasn’t a win or lose situation…it was a do the right thing moment where our side wants to take care of the people who served this country and who we have a responsibility to…so, the next time you step into a voting booth remember the glee that the repubs showed when they guaranteed that vets were going to die…and don’t vote for those assholes…geez…
