While Biden spends his time repeatedly insulting the military,
Rep's smack down Dem's sneaky $400B waste and debt,
Dem's play victim card, lolfest ensues...

Jack Posobiec burns Jon Stewart after uninformed 'meltdown' over
                              Senate Veterans bill

   As Human Events Daily's Jack Posobiec pointed out, the senators weren't
   voting against veterans, they were voting against a random $400 billion
   that had been snuck into the bill.

   When the Senate GOP declined to pass the PACT Act this week, comedian and
   pundit Jon Stewart blasted from for what he termed voting against
   veterans. But as Human Events Daily's Jack Posobiec pointed out, the
   senators weren't voting against veterans, they were voting against a
   random $400 billion that had been snuck into the bill.

   Posobiec took a look at the bill, which was passed in June, but then
   required to be put up for a revote after the House made a change to the
   legislation. The change in the bill up for a vote before the Senate,
   according to the Congressional Budget Office, was to the tune of $400
   billion in completely unrelated spending.

   Posobiec cited Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey, who said that his "concern
   about the bill has nothing to do with the purpose of the bill. It's not
   about about the $280 billion, approximately $280 billion of new spending
   that is meant to be required under this bill for the VA [Veteran's
   Administration] to cover healthcare, and other benefits for veterans who
   are exposed to toxic burn pits.

     $400 Billion dollars https://t.co/n4VIjTnPhz

   In response, Joseph Hickman, who authored a book on burn pits, said: "Jack
   is right, everyone would have voted for it, if the Dems didn’t add 400
   billion dollars in additional spending to the bill that has nothing to do
   with the burn pits. It was a political move in an election year."

     I literally wrote the book on the burn pits. Jack is right, everyone
     would have voted for it, if the Dems didn’t add 400 billion dollars in
     additional spending to the bill that has nothing to do with the burn
     pits. It was a political move in an election year.

   "What I want to change," Toomey continued, "has absolutely nothing to do
   with any of that." Toomey said that he expects that there would be 85
   votes for the bill if the issue was remedied.

     I'm not even really a big Pat Toomey guy (we have history in PA), but
     he's telling the truth here no caphttps://t.co/Ef9uiaG3UR

   That issue, he said, is "completely unrelated to the $280 in new spending,
   there is a mechanism created in this bill, a budgetary gimmick, that has
   the intent of making it possible to have a huge explosion in unrelated
   spending, $400 billion."

   "This budgetary gimmick," he went on, "is so unrelated to the actual
   veterans issue that has to do with burn pits that it's not even in the
   House version of this bill. The fact is that we can fix this tonight."

   Toomey urged his Democrat colleagues to remove the unrelated spending and
   get the bill passed to help veterans.

   Texas Senator Ted Cruz echoed Toomey's points, saying "Jon, you're a funny
   guy and I appreciate your engaging on issues of public policy, that's a
   good thing. But if you're gonna do so, the facts matter.

   "Listen, when it concerns the PACT Act, I support the PACT Act. I voted
   for the PACT Act, and I've advocated for it for a long time. We have an
   obligation to take care of our veterans, particularly those who were
   wounded or injured from burn puts or in other ways from combat."

     Literally @tedcruz even said he’d vote for the PACT Act if the Dems
     take out the $400B in separate spending, and @JonStewart responded by
     screaming and insulting him

   "The issue here," Cruz continued, "is the Democrats included in this bill
   an accounting gimmick where they took $400 billion of spending,
   discretionary spending, they shifted it to mandatory spending didn't
   change the amount at all.

   "But the reason they did that is it created a hole for $400 billion in new
   discretionary spending. Their objective? They want to cram $400 billion in
   unrelated spending into this bill that has nothing to do with veterans.
   Now given inflation that is skyrocketing this country, I think another 400
   billion in spending is irresponsible."

   "Let me be clear," Cruz said, "I support every single penny of the $679
   billion dollars of funding for veteran's health care."

   This reality was not something Stewart was aware of when he blasted those
   who didn't vote for the bill with the extra $400 billion in it.

   Stewart freaked out for almost 10 minutes, saying that the GOP senators
   didn't care about vets. "So ain't this a b*tch?" Stewart said after the
   vote. "America's heroes, who fought in our wars, outside sweating their
   asses off, with oxygen, battling all kinds of ailments, while these
   motherf*ckers sit in the air conditioning, walled off from any of it. They
   don't have to hear it, they don't have to see it. They don't have to
   understand that these are human beings."

   Posobiec ripped into another fabrication propagated by Stewart. "Earlier
   this year," Posobiec wrote, "he claimed he never called Harry Potter
   anti-Semitic and I caught him changing his YouTube video titles after the
   controversy went viral."

   When caught making that change and lying about it, Stewart said he didn't
   necessarily say that JK Rowling, who authored the Harry Potter series ,was
   antisemitic. He said "none of that is true," he said, going into a
   long-winded response about watching the films "as a Jewish man."

     You can go back and look at how he responded. He didn't even say he
     misspoke

     He lied about it, and screamed at people for reporting exactly what he
     said, like a child when they're caught

     This is who he is https://t.co/OLinzo4guY

   This, Posobiec said, as a veteran who understands the problems of burn
   pits and the need to help veterans who have suffered lasting injuries and
   "permanent health problems as a result."

     And for the record, I'm a veteran who has multiple friends with
     permanent health problems bc of burn pits. Both sides need to just stop
     screwing around and get this done. And Democrat celebs like @JonStewart
     who never served can shut the funk up.
