They set fire to people like you

[sovay]

The Republicans blocked a bipartisan bill to afford care to veterans of burn pits, such as killed Wes.

May they die with blood in their throats.

It's a big cornfield.

And deep.

That is so crazy aggravating. They claim to "support our veterans" and yet they do this because they're pissy that Manchin agreed to support the reconciliation bill.

I don't think they support anything but themselves, and that only so far as it's convenient. I understand we accelerated past the concept of honoring social norms or even deals some years ago now, but I still want there to be consequences.

The performative cruelty is still the point now in the time of the Trump.

They want to make the rest of us die with blood in our throats.

I'm running out of words for the GOP.

I have words, I just want them to have effect.

There is no depth to which they won't sink, apparently.

Both my grandfathers died of black lung (the collier's disease)- pneumoconiosis.

May such people rot in the lowest regions of Sheol!

Veterans aren't really people to them, they're statues and monuments. Incoherent fury here.

[moon_custafer]

Not even that. I think they regard them as patriotic props, or maybe human shields.

That is how I have come to regard the attitude. Bodies to take the hits.

Veterans aren't really people to them

I am beginning to think that very few people are people to them. Perhaps only themselves, individually, and the rest widening circles of expendable instrumentality.

Is this what "support our troops" means?
