White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney decided to block benefits for over 80,000 veterans exposed to Agent Orange because he’s worried about the cost.

So @SenSherrodBrown and @SenateDems just demanded we pass a resolution to care for more them.

But Republicans objected.

[UTUSN]

10. Well, of course he did.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. Why?

Because Trump was too busy watching Fux Noise to be bothered.

12. What the hell is wrong with these evil **ucks?!

[DarleenMB]

13. My first reaction was a string of expletives

My husband died 13 months ago due to lung cancer caused by exposure to Agent Orange during his time in Vietnam. He was a combat veteran, member of an LRRP team, and was wounded while out on patrol. His death was mercifully quick although I'm sure to him it seemed to go on forever. The cancer, he was told, was a particularly virulent strain and he fought it off for 3 years after having the lower lobe of his right lung removed. Then it sprang. From the time he got the bad news in July that it had spread, to his death in October he fought the good fight.

Mick Mulvaney should be ashamed of himself. And while I'm at it, who the hell is he to pull this stunt? he's not an elected official. He has no right to do this.

These vile people need to be strapped into a uniform, handed a gun and sent to Iraq.

18. They are never ashamed of themselves...

They probably get all hot and sweaty at the thought of giving them selves more money to play with, while taking veterans for fools.
They excremental examples of (unfortunately) human beings.

[Kablooie]

16. Of course. Trump didn't do that to them so why should he pay for it?

It's just logic.

[denbot]

17. We veterans are just window dressing to Trump and the gop.

Fuck them. Fuck them all.
