Re: Can one of you knuckleheads explain this?
Valid question. From what I can tell it seems like some disputes about word definitions. The kind of disputes that should be easy to solve since the Senate already passed the bill once.

I can't explain it. I guess that makes me a knucklehead.FakeAndyStuart wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 2:56 pm Valid question. From what I can tell it seems like some disputes about word definitions. The kind of disputes that should be easy to solve since the Senate already passed the bill once.

Re: Can one of you knuckleheads explain this?
So if I read Andy's link right, some senators want to fund it out of "entitlement" programs like Social Security. And they're still discussing what pork to add that have nothing to do with vets.

Re: Can one of you knuckleheads explain this?
It should be taken directly from the defense fund. That’s how they got injured in the first place.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

I also want clarification on the difference with problems that "might be associated with" or "caused by".

Re: Can one of you knuckleheads explain this?
Nope, you read it wrong. The same bill that everyone (but Toomey of PA) voted yes on a few weeks ago was the one they voted no on - and then fist bumped to show their pleasure at being assholes.In The Bleachers wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 6:54 pm So if I read Andy's link right, some senators want to fund it out of "entitlement" programs like Social Security.

Re: Can one of you knuckleheads explain this?
Several of them went out and started saying how much they supported the bill they VOTED AGAINST after the vote too… that’s a movie we’ve seen several times now. They fool their voters into thinking they supported something they were against.FakeAndyStuart wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 9:11 amNope, you read it wrong.
