Listen, I am a woman on the brink. When I need to chillax a little, I can't be seeing shit like this made into a gif on FB:

It might cheer me to make some monkeys explode, (I hear there's some Chris Christie news...) but there has to be more to this story.

Teh google was no help.

1. It's never as simple as they make it seem. That bill was loaded with other crap.

You don't really think all those Dems, Warren and Sanders, would want to cut Veterans' Benefits, do you?

Update Tuesday, Jan. 7, 4:25 PM: Sen. Levin now says he does not support Sen. Ayotte’s bill due to its closing of the loophole that allows illegal immigrants to receive tax credits.

Levin’s office said he supports eliminating pension cuts to military retirees, but was unaware of how Ayotte’s legislation offset the cuts.

His spokesman told the Hill: “Sen. Levin would support legislation to repeal the military pension cuts if such an amendment didn’t endanger underlying legislation and if he supported the offset.

He doesn’t support the offset in Sen. Ayotte’s legislation, so he couldn’t offer support for her legislation.”

2. Happy to hear good news about your dad.

Here is a post I posted a few days ago about the same facebook post. Funny how they forget this measure comes from Paul Ryan.

3. LaydeeBug, can you clarify about your dad

Sounds like good news by your tone. Sometimes taking someone off a ventilator isn't good news, though.

Will he make it?
