@Mufukr1990@acnewsitics Republicans were not necessarily voting against toxic-exposure benefits themselves; they were trying to force a budget amendment. But their no vote still delayed a major veterans health-care bill.

@Mufukr1990@acnewsitics No. They made it clear they didnโt wanna punish other vets in the process. Source of benefits was to take from other vets and that would have been devastating. Why couldnโt republicans suggest another source that didnโt also affect vets.
@bluecripping187@glenn_tunes Obama punished Russia economically and diplomatically, but he chose not to confront Russia militarily. Crimea stayed under Russian control. Some say that was America First thinking.
