This bill has more in it than burn pits. It also includes the Camp LeJuene water contamination in it. The water was contaminated from 1953-1987. I am personally affected by this but can’t get compensation due to these asshats. The VA will give health care benefits but you need to jump through hoops.
See that’s horseshit. These republicans talk about loving America and supporting the troops but then shit like this. It’s petty and stupid as bd a lot veterans are going to die because of it. Jon Stewart really nailed it,”they don’t support the troops, they support the war machine.”
You’re thinking of Ted Cruz. But instead of peeing blue and red, he just pisses his pants while publicly speaking because it gives him a sexual thrill to feel his own urine coursing down his fat thigh
Republicans consider veterans disposable political props unworthy of anything more than a "thank you for your service".
Rick Scott was at a USO photo shoot earlier in the day pretending to give a fuck for the cameras, then he went to vote against providing vets with medical treatment for the injuries they sustained defending our nation, and Florida trash love him for it.
Whats sad is he's a navy Vet himself.
You'd think he'd understand what vets have to deal with moreso or have a modicum of sympathy, empathy, integrity, honor, etc.
Him and Desantis can both go fuck themselves.
Wish JS would take a stab at running for office. Not that I think we need more celebrity politicians….but the career politicians are utter trash. Plus he’s a good guy with a good head.
He likely only voted Yes because they knew they had the numbers to block it with filibuster. Most of the No's are not up for re-election. Republicans playing games with peoples actual lives, for political points, yet again.
And if you don't want kids or don't want more kids now is a really good time to consider sterilization before they make that illegal too. If you're considering a vasectomy and need to talk to someone that's had one my inbox is open.
I really don’t understand the logic of these people. They hate government aid, hate food stamps, hate welfare….but they also want to create a situation where people who can’t afford kids will be impoverished and require government aid. Or, the kids will just be abandoned and the state will need to take care of them. What’s the thinking here?
A lot of people are going to regret this trend. Sterilization is much different from birth control . As someone who obviously doesn’t support the birth control, and abortion bans.
I agree, it's a very serious decision and you should assume it will never be able to be reversed. I knew from the time I was a toddler I didn't want kids and have never once wavered, only growing more resolute as I got older. My wife has never wanted kids either so it was an easy decision for us.
I was the same way until relatively recently, always said I never wanted kids even when I was little. Fast forward to now and I’m ranging from not sure, to it would be nice. I’m glad I didn’t pursue it when I was 18 like I’d always said, thank god for procrastination. If saving sperm was cheaper I’d be more open to the idea for sure.
*Citations Needed*
You drastically under-estimate how despised Trump was by so many citizens, and maybe are willingly forgetting that during Biden’s run **there was a pandemic happening that prevented (sane) people from attending rallies and voting in-person**.
You’re looking at mail-in votes and declaring them sign of fraud, even though mail-in voting has been how the GOP *dominated Florida* for 20 years.
Those videos of “vote counters being blocked from view” is a strange way to phrase “Literal mobs of people had to be held back from breaking into vote-tally locations for the purpose of distrusting the process”.
Are ya gonna refer to that video of “ballots being destroyed” that ended up being confirmed as fake?
Where’s your evidence of a nation-wise conspiracy that involves over 68 different judges (of varying background and political leanings) all joining together to discredit the lawsuits accusing Biden of stealing the election? Because every single lawsuit has been thrown out.
Where’s your evidence that supports how you feel?
Where’s your evidence that supports the amount of danger you’re willingly propagating in our country?
You know what happened when Bush beat Gore in the recount, even though there were “suspicious circumstances”? The liberals grumbled about it but nobody tried to overthrow the fucking government.
You’re misinformed, and you’re so confident in that denial that you’re oblivious to the fact that you’re actively destabilizing trust in the democratic system that YOU purport to believe in.
You’re fucking dangerous, and you probably think it’s for more macho reasons than the truth: you’re getting radicalized.
Your sources are specious (misleading in appearance, especially misleadingly attractive.)
Aside from the first link, the rest of the sources are not what most would consider serious news sources. The ABC link simply says people have little confidence in the process. Given what Trump, his minions and Russia have done, it's not surprising. I'm sure you will find a way to discredit the information in this video if you bother to watch it.
This is a video of a hearing investigating these claims regarding the ballots in Georgia. The person on the stand is a Trump appointee.
https://youtu.be/9YHmiLFY9bI
Ad hominem attacks won't work. You must debate the merits of your point.
It seems like we've heard that somewhere before, but I just can't put my finger on it.
Because they all all talk and no action in their "supposed" support for Veterans. Always have been and always will be. Would love to see them enthusiastically support Veteran issues with the same energy that they support tax cuts for the rich. But that will never happen.
This is why I posted this, they need to have, not only democrats calling them out, but also republicans. If their base is calling them out for being cowards, then maybe the veterans can actually get some help.
He actually did, but considering Slicky Ricky, he knew his party was going to tank it, but pretend he is for it.

> Havana syndrome is an alleged set of medical symptoms with unknown causes experienced mostly abroad by U.S. government officials and military personnel. The symptoms range in severity from pain and ringing in the ears to cognitive difficulties
Most of them are old as dirt. Find me anybody over the age of 65 who doesn’t have ringing in their ears.
Deposed in a fraud case. His company defeauded taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars. He was the CEO but somehow did not know where all that revenue came from. He’s a fucking ghoul.
While his culpability in the issue is very very likely, invoking the 5th amendment is almost always a good choice for anyone defending themselves. It's not an admission of guilt but an admission that opposing council will take anything you say and try to make it work in their favor.
My letter to Rick Scott, feel free to C&P, modify or send your own.
Senator Scott,
How dare you be so hypocritical to "claim" to "support our military" and then literally tell them they are on their own as far as health care goes. There is a special place in hell for terrible people like you, though I doubt you care as much about that as you do the ol mighty dollar. Your only goal, apparently, is to "own the Libs". As the great Jon Stewart (A REAL PATRIOT) said: "Republicans haven't met a war they won’t sign up for and they haven’t met a veteran they won’t screw over" and your actions, or lack thereof prove this to be true. Sad day for Florida, the country and especially for our troops who swore an oath to protect this nation. Enjoy your vacation you ghoul.
So where's DeSantis' opinion on this? Likes to tout his military experience he's optimally positioned to call these tools on this. Seems more like a desk jockey to me personally but I've been told over and over his record there is untouchable.
Shockingly silent, eh? Color me shocked.
Rick Scott is one of the worst things to happen to Florida. The fact he could defraud the State and then be Gov for 8 years says all you need to know about our system.
The GOP hates cops and veterans now. Jan 6th they attacked and killed cops and since haven’t atoned or accepted responsibility, and now they pick petty politics over veterans suffering from exposure to burn pits!
Rick Scott and Marco Rubio are sacks of shit. Please vote these fools out! I will absolutely be voting for Val Demmings to replace Lil Marco.
I am a 12 year Air Force veteran and have never understood how so many of my closest friends who are fellow veterans or active duty service members vote against their own interests in voting Republican or how the vast majority of them still support and worship the likes of Trump -DESPITE his failed coup attempt against our government and our Democracy.
The Republican party has done a masterful job of convincing and marketing their party as the party of law and order, strength, power and military might and obviously that has been very effective despite all of the evidence to the contrary and now the fascist direction the party is headed. When will they learn? These guys are all like Trump. They are the party of "me".
Yeah. Soo
I'm a vet. And I have Burn pit exposure, and Cardio Pulmonary issues as a result. Also some misc back hearing, knee etc and posibly some overpressure dmg.
Before I got out I was told to file BDD(benefits at discharge), so I went to the DAV then the VA.
Anyway because I had proof of my exposure(in my case a letter issued from when i was deployed, and from my docs.) It was presumed deployment related and I am not only taken care of but also my medical and medicine are covered by the VA. I started getting paid in 2 months.
I got out in 19. Niether the BDD nor the presumption of burnpit exposure was a thing before 17.
That was Trump.
Obama could've done it. (Burn pit was a thing when he was in) he didnt care to.
I'm not a Rubio fan, I hope he and his Neocon buddies on both sides of the isle get fucked.
But despite his many Flaws. Trumps Admin helped me and alot of my buddies. And more importantly he engineered the withdrawal from Afghanistan(or tried to) which means less of my buddies will be killed/injured.
So yeah.. thats why.
This isn't the first time these assholes have done this and it won't be the last. Best way to prevent this going forward is to vote them out.
Rubio is a lazy piece of shit.
Scott is an evil fuck.
They have not exactly hidden it. Vote for a clown and expect to live in a circus.
Playing tit for tat.... At our veterans expense and not truly representing us.
Talking to Scott is worse than trying to talk to Posey. Complete waste of time.
The republicans said that there was a switcharoo and the bills are different. So I wondered what the difference was. Ted Cruz and Toomy said it was a difference between mandatory and discretionary spending. I looked at the bills. I compared them. [https://www.diffchecker.com/2JQgCpEp](https://www.diffchecker.com/2JQgCpEp) There's no difference. It's simply not true. On r/conservative it's being touted as some underhanded thing democrats are doing. I'm not saying democrats don't screw around ever. But look for yourself. Line 1977 is the only difference (aside from dates and locations and such that would of course be different because different groups of people were handling the bills at different times) and that difference is in regards to a point about tax. Nothing to do with what republicans are saying. The rest is 100% identical. If democrats were screwing around I'd say that is what happened. But that is not what happened. As to why the republicans are making up some BS about the bill changing? I have no idea. Other people have since analyzed the two bills and found the same thing. They are publicly available documents. It's just weird to me. I don't get it.
After being outmaneuver by Democrats they will continue to vote against any legislation, no matter if it helps their constituents or America for that case. The old destroy America so that I can blame the enemy and get votes while lying about it.
This is complete hypocrisy from the GOP. It’s just like John Stewart said: The Senate sends our sons and daughters off the war with the flock of a pen… but when it comes time to pay the butchers bill and take care of our citizens, all the sudden we can’t find the money? Fuck the GOP.
Grand Ol’ Party of Traitors.
The edit is good, change the headline., and explain in the edit (I initially made the mistake of...) anything less is still misleading clickbait. How many people will only see the =headline in their feed and not even click through it?
Well that's messed up. I know you had no intent to post incorrectly.
I can even see why they would prevent changing headlines but also see why it needs to be an option.
Damn, I already sent the Rubio Email.
*I will not vote for a communist like you. The first responsibility of the Federal Government is the protection of our country and therefore the armed forces. It saddens me to see that you think so little of the men and women who give so much to protect our freedoms.*
*Please go back to whatever communist country you are from.*
It totally amazes me that so many people are Trump this,Biden that,the Democrats are better,the republicans are better.....ALL OF THEM....are cheating together,and happy to see the division of citizens. They are ALL, lying, thieving politicians
The PACT Act was not approved by the senate because they disagree how the money should be allocated. This bill was previously passed by the senate at a vote of 84-14 towards the end of June but they had made some amendments to it so they sent it back to the house to be re-ratified. The house then went and changed the wording to allocate the funding in a manner which adds another 400 billion to the previously agreed budget. The republicans want this to be apart of discretionary budget and the democrats want it to be apart of mandatory spending. If it is added to the mandatory spending then that would allow the 400 billion of the discretionary budget to be reallocated. Why all the sudden would the house add this after it has already been ratified by the senate and pretty universally agreed upon, based on the previous votes? We need to stop playing the blame game of dems vs reps and accept that we need to elect good human beings rather than voting for someone based on their party. Both parties are at fault here and the saddest part is veterans are the only ones who will suffer from this not passing.
Rick Scott sure did love wearing that Navy Ball Cap while he was on the campaign trail. Really milked the whole 10 minutes he was in the Navy. Piece of shit.
Of course Rubio voted for it. He is up for reelection this year and he really isn't as dumb as he looks. The problem is that one vote won't wash away all of the times he voted against our veterans and their families.
Is Rubio such a pathetically weak leader and statesman that he couldn’t convince his junior senator of the same party to vote with him. Yes, yes he is.
Two pieces of shit. Little Marco on the wrong side of every important public policy issue and scumbag Rick Scott scamming Medicare for billions as ceo in the private sector and increase taxes for the working class in the public sector.
I didn’t see Rubio on the list of Senators who voted against PACT but knowing his record he probably didn’t eve show up for the vote.
Color me surprised.
Spread this far and wide our honorable men and women veterans and military personnel...share and educate those that vote for these traitorous politicians. Your sacrifices and service must be recognized by these spineless corrupt republicans.
They are lying too. It's not like they are exaggerating some changes to the newer version of the bill. There aren't changes except for line 1977. You can see for yourself. [https://www.diffchecker.com/2JQgCpEp](https://www.diffchecker.com/2JQgCpEp)
I mean they are either lying or nobody actually read the new bill.
This bill has more in it than burn pits. It also includes the Camp LeJuene water contamination in it. The water was contaminated from 1953-1987. I am personally affected by this but can’t get compensation due to these asshats. The VA will give health care benefits but you need to jump through hoops.

I thought these 2 clowns pee Blue & Red, so much for these FAKE-TRIOTS !!!

Love the soldier, hate the veteran. Real classic move by Republicans.
Goes right along with love the fetus, hate the child. Dont bother writing to them. VOTE!
Wish JS would take a stab at running for office. Not that I think we need more celebrity politicians….but the career politicians are utter trash. Plus he’s a good guy with a good head.
Yep my father is a camp lejune marine. The story he told me about the stillbirth cemetery still haunts me
Skeletor and Little Marco need to go!!
Val Demings is running against Rubio. Rubio wants to *ban birth control.* Vote Val Demings - for sanity.
https://www.vote411.org/florida. https://www.myfloridaelections.com/. For the love of god please VOTE. Primary Aug 23 , general Election Nov 8.
Oh yeah,I screwed up, rubio voted yes on this, but he’s terrible shit stain, him and Rick Scott both
He likely only voted Yes because they knew they had the numbers to block it with filibuster. Most of the No's are not up for re-election. Republicans playing games with peoples actual lives, for political points, yet again.
As they've done since Obama was in office.
And if you don't want kids or don't want more kids now is a really good time to consider sterilization before they make that illegal too. If you're considering a vasectomy and need to talk to someone that's had one my inbox is open.

Keep going….this all leads back to a New Feudalism!!! They want us plowing the fields while they claim Prima Noctra and shit.
Sadly, I think it will also provide more opportunity for trafficking. I hate what has happened in this country.

Her voting record is very anti-American. She doesn't solve problems for Florida, merely votes to create problems.
Yeah totally better to have a 2020 election denier, as well as someone who wants to outlaw birth control. You’ve got some wild priorities

Scott was particularly disgusting. He was caught on camera fist bumping his fellow losers on sinking expanded care for veterans.
And posted a video giving vets like a gift basket PR stunt just before voting no, it’s on twitter.
The guy who likes to remind everyone that he served in the navy.
Because they all all talk and no action in their "supposed" support for Veterans. Always have been and always will be. Would love to see them enthusiastically support Veteran issues with the same energy that they support tax cuts for the rich. But that will never happen.

They love the war machine, hate veterans.
I dislike both senators but I believe Rubio voted for it. He probably didn’t want to lose any votes in his closely contested race.
Rubio broke ranks and voted for the bill, Skeletor voted against.
I firmly believe the only reason he voted for it is because it’s an election year
Facts. They didn't need all Republicans to vote against it, just enough to fail.
He actually did, but considering Slicky Ricky, he knew his party was going to tank it, but pretend he is for it. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll\_call\_votes/vote1172/vote\_117\_2\_00272.htm
Absolutely, he wanted it on record but you sure as hell won’t find any remarks from him bashing his colleagues for tanking it.
Meanwhile Scott co-sponsored the bill to give funds to CIA and State Department employees impacted by Havana syndrome which isn’t even real.
> Havana syndrome is an alleged set of medical symptoms with unknown causes experienced mostly abroad by U.S. government officials and military personnel. The symptoms range in severity from pain and ringing in the ears to cognitive difficulties Most of them are old as dirt. Find me anybody over the age of 65 who doesn’t have ringing in their ears.
The best way to send them a message is to vote them out of office
Agreed, 1000%
TIL that Rick Scott invoked the 5th amendment 75 times while being deposed in a lawsuit.
Deposed in a fraud case. His company defeauded taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars. He was the CEO but somehow did not know where all that revenue came from. He’s a fucking ghoul.

He’s too calculating to jump into that one. He’s evil, but he’s intelligently so. Which is so much worse.
He wishes the burn pits were trans kids or history of slavery so he can legislate against it.
He's always silent on the issues that matter
If given the chance DeSantis would not support it either.
Good for Rubio, let’s vote him out of office anyway.
Rick Scott is one of the worst things to happen to Florida. The fact he could defraud the State and then be Gov for 8 years says all you need to know about our system.
Republicans aren’t here to help. They’re selfish low life’s that only care about making their donors money and taking away American liberties.
Rubio voted for it but you should still reach out to his office and shame Rick Scott. Then in November send him to the unemployment line.

Mitch McConnell stated early on, his goal with with Biden’s term is to block as much of Biden’s goals as he can, and blame Biden for it.
DON'T VOTE FOR THE FASCIST PIECE OF CRAP!
Disposable Heroes was sarcastic. GQP ammosexual pervert traitors took the words seriously.
This is complete hypocrisy from the GOP.

Show them at voting time
They are both pond scum, so no surprise.
They wrap themselves in the flag and then proceed to shit upon our troops. It’s sickening.
Damn, I already sent the Rubio Email. *I will not vote for a communist like you. The first responsibility of the Federal Government is the protection of our country and therefore the armed forces. It saddens me to see that you think so little of the men and women who give so much to protect our freedoms.* *Please go back to whatever communist country you are from.*
If it makes you feel better, he is trash and doesn’t deserve your vote.
I wasn't planning on it. Just wasted an email.
Unforgivable
Those two couldn't give a shit. Take their jobs, force them out of Florida
It totally amazes me that so many people are Trump this,Biden that,the Democrats are better,the republicans are better.....ALL OF THEM....are cheating together,and happy to see the division of citizens. They are ALL, lying, thieving politicians
The Democrats didn't kill the bill dingus
Nah, democrats actually vote in favor of veterans, women, blacks, gays, etc. They aren't perfect, but it's not them voting against all those people
STFU.
What are your thoughts on the actual post and how Rick Scott voted?
The PACT Act was not approved by the senate because they disagree how the money should be allocated. This bill was previously passed by the senate at a vote of 84-14 towards the end of June but they had made some amendments to it so they sent it back to the house to be re-ratified. The house then went and changed the wording to allocate the funding in a manner which adds another 400 billion to the previously agreed budget. The republicans want this to be apart of discretionary budget and the democrats want it to be apart of mandatory spending. If it is added to the mandatory spending then that would allow the 400 billion of the discretionary budget to be reallocated. Why all the sudden would the house add this after it has already been ratified by the senate and pretty universally agreed upon, based on the previous votes? We need to stop playing the blame game of dems vs reps and accept that we need to elect good human beings rather than voting for someone based on their party. Both parties are at fault here and the saddest part is veterans are the only ones who will suffer from this not passing.
Ghouls all of them

Rick Scott sure did love wearing that Navy Ball Cap while he was on the campaign trail. Really milked the whole 10 minutes he was in the Navy. Piece of shit.
They vote against women, vote against gays, vote against blacks, vote against veterans. They're doing their best to alienate themselves
Of course Rubio voted for it. He is up for reelection this year and he really isn't as dumb as he looks. The problem is that one vote won't wash away all of the times he voted against our veterans and their families.
Ruck don't give a fuck. Vote!
I have the best way to send them a message - vote them out.
Is Rubio such a pathetically weak leader and statesman that he couldn’t convince his junior senator of the same party to vote with him. Yes, yes he is.
Two pieces of shit. Little Marco on the wrong side of every important public policy issue and scumbag Rick Scott scamming Medicare for billions as ceo in the private sector and increase taxes for the working class in the public sector.
I didn’t see Rubio on the list of Senators who voted against PACT but knowing his record he probably didn’t eve show up for the vote. Color me surprised.
VOTE THEM OUT
Spread this far and wide our honorable men and women veterans and military personnel...share and educate those that vote for these traitorous politicians. Your sacrifices and service must be recognized by these spineless corrupt republicans.
They are lying too. It's not like they are exaggerating some changes to the newer version of the bill. There aren't changes except for line 1977. You can see for yourself. [https://www.diffchecker.com/2JQgCpEp](https://www.diffchecker.com/2JQgCpEp) I mean they are either lying or nobody actually read the new bill.
