Why vote blue? Republicans are currently blocking the Richard Starr Act (RSA). The RSA is a bill that would allow military veterans that are medically retired due to combat related injuries to collect their medical retirement checks from the DOD. Currently, those veterans can not collect that check because they also get department of veterans affairs ratings. The rules that both cannot be collected unless you retire at 20 years. These aren’t people that rolled their ankle in basic training and got out and filed a VA claim and get compensation. These are people that were injured in combat fighting a war for their country. Republicans oppose paying these brave service members what they earned in combat. Republicans refuse to honor the contract. When a service member risks their life to advance the cause of this nation and sustains injuries because of that, we owe them for their sacrifice. Republicans would and will kick them to the curb because they are no longer useful. How do we know this to be true? Well I’m glad you asked. The common point republicans bring up to reject this is that we simply can not afford it because it would cost somewhere between 10-75 billion over the next decade or so. They claim it can’t be done without taking the money from somewhere else on the budget but have refused the multiple funding methods that democrats have offered and demand it be taken from other entitlements veterans currently have. Meaning they want veterans to sacrifice more to take care of the other veterans that need to be taken care of. Those same republicans had no problem voting in favor of a 1.1 trillion dollar military budget though which would put almost a trillion dollars straight into the pockets of defense contractors. They also have no problem with the United States spending tens of billions to hundreds of billions this far on the Iran war. Republicans always seem to find the money when it is going to benefit a corporation but they always cry we are too broke to take care of the American people. Especially American Veterans.

Look folks. Stop saying this is staged. We definitely realize that even if democrats win both houses this not staged caravan still wouldn’t make sense because they aren’t projected to win with enough of a majority to get any legislation past Trump but don’t let that silly little fact distract you from the fact that this is not staged. So stop saying republicans staged it just because it doesn’t make any sense for it to be happening a month out from an election that wouldn’t possibly change any of the immigration laws. Thank you for your attention to this (definitely not staged) matter.

Please bro don't punish the Republicans by not voting, bro. They're gonna do things this time, bro. we need you, bro, this is the most important election of our lifetime, to save America, bro. They're saying we'll be communist if you don't vote bro. Don't you want 5k, bro.

Many republicans are posting things about not minding paying 20 dollars a gallon for gas so when Dems get power back don’t ever let them cry about gas prices again.

This is why you don’t feel sorry for the farmers and ranchers crying on the internet. They love punching themselves in the nuts.

Nothing says “we’re the good guys” like a video of you breaking the law by driving distracted. 😂😂😂😂.

This dude had nearly 2 decades to go do something about his hatred for Muslims. He could have been kicking in doors and ridding the world of all the Muslims he wanted with the full weight of the law behind him. He didn’t though. And this sums up the typical republican. False bravado. They are tough guys until it’s time To do tough guy things and then they have every excuse why they couldn’t.

Right wingers are confusing ethnic and cultural nationhood with civic nationhood. In many countries, like China, nationality is tied to ancestral identity. you can be ethnically Chinese without holding Chinese citizenship, or hold citizenship without being considered truly Chinese by society. America doesn't work that way. The United States was deliberately constructed as a creedal nation. A republic bound by shared political values, the rule of law, and a common civic compact, rather than shared ancestry. There is no biological or ethnic baseline required to be American. If you are a citizen of the United States, you are an American, fully and completely. That’s the entire point of being proud to be an American is that it isn't locked behind an unachievable bloodline or the genetic lottery of where your ancestors were born. It’s a shared creed, and anyone who commits to it belongs here. It’s ironic to hear the same people who preach meritocracy and constantly attack DEI suddenly turn around and demand an unearned, hereditary status. Yall claim everything should be based on personal achievement, yet you want exclusive ownership over the title of "American" based purely on the geographical coordinates where your parents fornicated. You can't champion individual merit on one hand, and then rely on the genetic lottery to claim you're more American than someone who actually worked, studied, and swore an oath to earn their citizenship.

You can’t even make this up. Right wingers believe Mayor Mamdani committed the 9/11 attacks.

Republicans claim to hate Muslims but they sure exhibit a lot of jihadist behavior. Keep this guy away from every plane.

I find it hilarious that most the people here on X crying about Muslims were conveniently preoccupied during the 20 years we were at war in predominantly Islamic countries. Now that the opportunities for them to prove how brave they are have been closed they are extremely vocal about needing to fight Islam 😂😂😂😂😂. Just a coincidence their courage showed up a few years too late I suppose 😂😂😂

Don’t let the republican theatrics fool you. Republicans are THE hurdle for the Richard Star act passing and thousands of medically retired combat veterans getting the pensions they earned via combat injuries. Republicans love theater but they won’t support any meaningful action to help anybody much less veterans.

Republicans used to at least pretend to care about the middle class and working Americans. Now they just say “suck it up and be poor”

We need to ban right wing extremism in this country. They are attacking little girls again.

We absolutely must outlaw Catholic confessions. No one should be interrogated and forced to confess to things without being made aware of their right to counsel . It’s not American and we can not have it in Texas.

The problem with capitalism is that eventually the people you steal money from run out of money for you to steal.

More people identify as independents now than ever before. It’s easier to have higher approval ratings in your own party when all the people that don’t like you are just giving up on your party instead of waiting around for the next guy!to save it.

Thus spake the lord.
