Paid for this week’s groceries using the crypto debit card again. Cashier asked about it and we ended up chatting about Bitcoin for 5 minutes. Love when real life and crypto collide 🍁 💰

@RepNikkiB Thank you. This is a poop filled Act. The #majorrichardstaract is/was a few signatures away from a vote and pass and @HouseGOP have stopped it at every turn DESPITE the cosponsors. Then they watered it down and throw it into a bogus act that screws over more vets.
So sad.
@SVACGOP@AmericanLegion This bill is hot garbage and trying to silence those who are calling it out shows they know they are screwing combat wounded vets over.
They could have signed the discharge petition and passed the #majorrichardstaract instead they watered it down and hid it in 500+ pgs
@1Brother4Christ@DavidFish7 Funny Reformed/Calvinists would habitually use a word that isn’t in the text that is foundational to their ideology. Should read The 2,000 Year HinduCalvinism Delusion by @JeremyRichard82
@HouseVetAffairs Complaining about a cartoon graphic when people have been doing this to get their point across for over 100 years is disingenuous. Maybe @HouseGOP needs to look deeper at this hot garbage they want to pass and actually listen to those saying this is going to screw alot of us over
@endwarriortax@GruntStyleFdn@VFWHQ Don’t be a marshmallow. It’s not stoking violence. The fact these lawmakers are crying about that makes it known they know the bill is crap & don’t care about screwing over combat wounded veterans. They’d rather shut us up & tell everyone we’re violent than be held accountable.
So let me get this straight, speaking of bold strategies Cotton.
The GOP hijacked the #MajorRichardStarAct because it is the most popular piece of legislation for the last 6 years running, currently sitting at 336 cosponsors in the house and 79 cosponsors in the Senate. Then you have the gall to only give the average CRSC Veteran a 20% boost to their retirement instead of our full retirement, then they have the audacity to put out in your own press release last week, and I quote:
"Under current law, some combat-injured veterans with fewer than 20 years of service who were medically retired are prevented from receiving both their full military retirement pay and their VA disability compensation benefits."

Meaning that you are putting out false information since you know damn well that under this legislation we won't be receiving our full retirement and you won't be eliminating anything; then you the absolute temerity to bundle this garbage into a bunch of other Veteran legislation so that when we, the MOST WOUNDED of VETERANS object, you can then say that we are against expanding healthcare and benefits for millions of Veterans?
If I have any of that plan incorrect, please let me know.
We see right through you Republicans. You aren't serving Veterans. You are serving yourselves at the expense of Combat Wounded Veterans. You are doing this for a political win because Democrats are the ones actually trying to move the #MajorRichardStarAct through to floor votes and Republicans have blocked that endeavor what, 6 times now?
This is not the hill that you want to die on. The public is VERY sympathetic to Combat Wounded Vets and we will scream from the mountaintops and in the town halls and all over social media what you are attempting to do with this H.R.9237 - Take Care of America’s Veterans Act.
And it isn't just what you are doing. More importantly, it is HOW you are doing it. You are using underhanded tactics and bald-face lying in print with the intent do deceive.
The Democrat party may be insane, but they are morally correct on this issue, and you are morally devoid.
But you still have a shot to save yourself from the upcoming disaster. We just need 5 Republicans to sign Discharge Petition 22 to bring the CLEAN #MajorRichardStarAct to a floor vote. Do the right thing.

Hey there @markalfordkc y’all have had 6 years to get this done “your way.” While combat disabled vets are STILL not getting their EARNED benefits. Sacrificing pay month after month and year after year.
Swallow some pride and sign the discharge and vote YES #majorrichardstaract
@RepTomBarrett Hey, sign the discharge petition for the #majorrichardstaract
54k combat disabled veterans and their families are suffering while you want to wait to do it another way. 6yrs and still waiting. You and @HouseGOP seem to only care about getting the credit.
@RepTomBarrett@HouseGOP@HouseDemocrats
After 6 years of lip support, Repubs, you’ve had time to get the job done. Sign the discharge petition and get this done. Combat disabled veterans and their families are suffering while you are fighting to see who gets to look good.
A good friend of mine attended a Town Hall with Representative Tom Barrett and she asked why He and other Republicans had not signed the Discharge Petition to get the Major Richard Star Act to a floor vote.
At this point it appears that Republicans are more concerned with "who gets credit" for the bill's success as opposed to just passing it, and they've spent 6 years doing exactly nothing to advance it.

@MikeWingerii@pastorlocke is a hothead that uses his platform to pop off. Using his platform to spew accusations and allegations of other people instead of going to the proper authorities shows lack of wisdom and discernment. Then has the nerve to gaslight when called to put up or step down
