Great Moments In Photography: Jon Stewart Smiles As Mitch McConnel Walks By Before Vote On 9/11 First Responders Bill
- Thread starter DrForester
- Start date
Steward has more integrity in his left toe than this turtle could ever muster in his hateful bigotted life.
Jon Stewart has been an advocate for the 9/11 victim's fund for years now.
Same reason no one will try it on Trump. The potential for martyrdom and long-lasting negative repercussions are too high.
And both can get fucked. Hopefully their houses never catch fire. It might be a bit before someone arrives.
Yeah kind of figured. That was the only hangup I could see with it. Stoke that fire and all hell breaks loose
Makes me think back to the first time I heard of McConnell, on this daily show segment:
It happened. The funding is now permanent. As aforementioned, Only two people voted against it.
Frank Thorp V @frankthorp
BREAKING: Senate votes 97-2 to pass the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund Act.
The bill, which effectively makes funding authorization for the program permanent, now goes to Pres Trump's desk for his signature.
NO VOTES:
Lee
Paul

Mike Lee / Rand Paul voted no, not sure who abstained though.

I know. It just blows my mind how many people are willing to do such impressive mental gymnastics.
Senator Rand Paul @RandPaul
While I support our heroic first responders, I can't in good conscience vote for legislation which to my dismay remains unfunded. We have a nearly trillion dollar deficit and $22 trillion in debt. Spending is out of control.
As I have done on countless issues, including disaster relief and wall funding, I will always take a stand against borrowing more money to pay for programs rather than setting priorities and cutting waste.

Isakson of Georgia. He is currently at home recovering from 4 broken ribs. He got out of the hospital a few days back.
I believe we did not, and absolutely this is huge news. First major good legislation passed by Congress in I can't even think of how long. This is also passage of government funded health care for a not insignificant population, likely to be a boon to single payer proponents. Pretty big deal.
Some of the replies, lol.
Grown ass 45+ year old adults getting in twitter spats with a 19 (?) year old. Fucking amazing.
On one hand, it's wonderful to hear good news out of our government for a change.
On the other hand, it took the senate almost 20 years and an immense pushback to do something that a 4-year-old would recognize as the right thing.

So it's finally done. Thank God. Kudos to Steward for fighting for these heroes' rights. A fight that shouldn't have been necessary in the first place.
And fuck those 2 clowns.

Oh, hey, along with the Mitch McConnell schadenfreude, you also get your daily reminder that Rand Paul is a soulless libertarian ghoul.
