What's wrong with this picture?

Acadia · Jul 1, 2019

I don't understand my country any longer. I'm at a loss to explain what I've witnessed recently.

Here is an American hero, 9-11 first responder, 53-year old Luis Alvarez, cachectic and moribund with only days left to live, BEGGING a nearly vacant room in Congress to fund the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund for victims of 9-11 and their families who have died are dying and are yet to get sick and die.
And there are THOUSANDS MORE.

Here is the stage where nearly every Democrat candidate- many in Congress and not present when Luis Alvarez BEGGED for funding for AMERICANS- raised their hands with great fervor, offering illegals American tax-payer-funded free healthcare.
Beacuse "it's the moral thing to do".

Convince me I'm wrong.

And again... more manufactured outrage mashing these two subjects together like this.

You seem to be an expert on manufactured outrage.

Is the OP seriously trying to claim its the dems fault that the firefighters had to fight to get funding for the 9/11 first responders? It was the friggen scumbag republicans that kept holding it up.

Obscurity · Jul 1, 2019

Take it up with McConnell. Your crocodile tears are unconvincing trash.

The left has gone full on whacko. Every candidate proudly claiming they favor open borders and more free stuff once illegals get here.

I understand whackoism. What I don't understand is shooting yourself in your foot while engaging in whackoism.

Did you learn nothing from 2016?

Your post is exactly what is wrong with this country.

Why do you try and score political points on the backs of dead men?

Condor060 · Jul 1, 2019

Democrats only care about money and power. Illegal Aliens are the new voter pool. If they really cared so much, why have they rallied on this point ONLY when Trump comes into office. Thousands of Illegals died under Obama and we heard crickets. The only way Democrat wins is by changing the rules.

They couldn't get their judges into the SCOTUS so they changed the Senate confirmation from 60% to 50%. They don't want voter ID because they have more votes than registered voters, the don't want to stop the flow of Illegals killing Americans so they can create a new voter base.

Even though we have thousands of videos of Schumer, Pelosi, Obama, Waters, Clinton, Warren, (and the list goes on) stating Illegals are bad for this country and they need to be stopped while building over 700 miles of barriers, they only decided to reverse this position because Trump used it as a campaign promise.

In the blink of an eye walls and barriers became racist. They know we have over 100,000 Illegals per month crossing our borders and have the balls to tell us this is just a Trump manufactured crisis. When we try and provide more beds for these kids Democrats try and stop the provision of these beds just so they can get a picture of a kid sleeping on the floor. Why would you stop this provision while screaming about concentration camps?

The culture of Democrats and Liberals in this country has gone from bad to worse. You need look any further than their own cities to see the carnage of their agenda yet these idiots still pander to their base like they are the enlightened ones and everything is Trumps fault. Now we have every Democratic candidate stating they are going to decriminalize Illegal crossings and give them all free medical at the expense of your taxes and put you on Socialized medicine. We saw how that worked for our own Vets until Trump took over and this is what Liberals want? We couldn't get our Vets in for a simple Dr. visit and they were dying while waiting. If it won't work for less than 1% of this country, how will this work for 350 million?

But all Liberals care about is the promise of free stuff. They will gladly sacrifice the constitution and this country to anyone if they can just get something for free. Why else would you even consider voting for a Democrat based on their desire to open our borders and flood this country with 100s of thousands of Illegals per month when they fill 25% of our federal prisons now?

Now its in the open for everyone to see. They are not running or hiding from their socialist agenda. Its going to be up to us to rid ourselves of these politicians who push these fabrications. Right now the DNC is 6 million in the hole with outstanding debt from 2016 still out there while the RNC has 33 million in cash. I hope this is a sign to come.

Your whole outrage is fake. McConnell was the one holding up funding so take it up with your REPUBLICAN overlords and the turtle on that one in the senate.

Can you also produce tears on demand to for your fake outrage?

That "dead man" was an AMERICAN HERO. Alvarez chose to fight for funding and I want everyone to look at his ashen, skeletal face and know that his death is of no consequence to Democrats. They only care about illegals.
I know you don't like the optics, but my post accurately condensed what Americans are witnessing from our elected official.

If Sanders' plan were in place on 9/11/2001, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Nope, just the hypocrisy of Democrats coddling Illegals while our the cries of our own Vets, responders, and homeless go unanswered.

The OP is showing the real platform of the Democrat party. They will pander to give Illegals free everything but are silent on the needs of their own American homeless, Vets, and Responders.

Then why do you defame his legacy by bumblingly try to falsely equate what he went through with irrelevancies?

Why do you gleefully try and capitalize on his memory by using him as a tool?

Sad that you hate American heroes?

What gives you the idea that any of these candidates would deny medical care for first responders? Aren't you arguing apples and oranges here? I think your outrage is badly misplaced. Look to the GOP in the Senate, especially those who did not show up when Jon Stewart and these first responders came to talk to them. McConnell has the power to tell these people yes or no, not the Democratic candidates.

Oh, Did you have a quote from Sanders your are hiding. I only here him giving away free college, money, and protection for Illegals. What program is he promoting to resolve the homeless or Vet problems we have right in our own back yards.

You see my point because your are not reflexively defending the indefensible. Thank you.
Democrats have made it clear that American heroes like Luis Alvarez are not their priority. I'm not their priority and I'm an American who's worked hard, paid taxes and followed the law all of my life.
Alvarez doesn't matter. I don't matter. Democrats have been clear: their concern is for illegals who break our laws. Their solution? Decriminalize.

Sorry, that’s not possible. Your brain has been forever altered due to excessive consumption of Trump Kool-Aid.

Where were all the Republicans during the 9/11 subcommittee meeting? McConnell has had the ability for the last two years to reauthorize/extend funding for 9/11 responders and victims and has done squat until a group of them finally cornered him in his office to plead for the resources that they deserve. Shame on him and Trump.
