    I am a Navy vet, former intel. She leaked video of war crimes so heinous I shudder to remember. Maybe you don't want to remember either.

    Joy Reid is truly vile. Chelsea is a hero, not "acting out"

Joy Reid made transphobic comments repeatedly on Twitter last week.

    Yes, you read that right. Joy Reid was pleased that Chelsea Manning was tortured.

    Prison (ahem) is meant to be unpleasant. And Manning is being held for alleged espionage. . .

    Amazing but not surprising that Joy Reid would use the "trans ban" as an excuse to criticize Chelsea Manning

    Joy Reid has tweet some dumb shit in the past, but these tweets on Chelsea Manning is taking way to far.


  3.   Jul 27
    Joy Reid's tweets last night about Chelsea Manning were... bizarre. I don't know why I'm just now remembering this.

    Chelsea Manning is a hero and Joy Reid is a mouthpiece for authority

    Isn't there a quote from Joy Reid being just utterly miserable about Chelsea Manning also?

    Hi, joy Reid thinks Chelsea manning should be in solitary confinement right now. Take your generation analysis and shove it

    Joy Reid is the same person that was celebrating Chelsea Manning being tortured in prison. Like?

    I know Joy Reid from when my trans lady leftist friend recalled how she rejoiced at Chelsea Manning's torture in prison.

    That's Joy Reid in a nutshell: wanting Chelsea Manning to suffer for good tweets. :)

    I'd ask Chelsea Manning how does she feel about Joy Reid publicly advocating for her torture. Feminism!

    Just a reminder that Dems like Joy Reid, who reveled in the months-long torture of Chelsea Manning, have no credibility RE: .

    Joy Reid lied about Chelsea Manning, in a concerted smear campaign

    The common thread between Snowden and Manning was that their pre-leak beefs weren't with policy, but rather with their colleagues.





MSNBC fired Don Imus for racist comments and Michael Savage for homophobic comments.

It's time Joy was fired for her transphobic comments.

Correcting Joy Reid



  Jul 26
We accounted for recount $ months ago: Still litigating to examine machines & actually FIND OUT if vote was hacked.

Who's "we?" You and your Russian friends? Also what happened to the money you took from Dems to prove machine hacking?

Hi everyone, When you RT people like Joy Reid, you are supporting transphobia and warmongering. Please stop. It's gross.

Isakson, Tester Statement on Legislation to Continue Veterans Choice Program
Legislation provides critical funding to ensure veterans have continued access to care in the community, authorizes medical facility leases, bolsters VA medical workforce recruitment efforts
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and Jon Tester, D-Mont., chairman and ranking member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, today released the following statement after leading the way to broker a bipartisan, bicameral deal that provides critical funding to continue the Veterans Choice Program:
“The Veterans Choice Program was created to ensure that veterans could receive timely appointments in their own communities,” said Isakson and Tester in a joint statement. “We are glad that veterans will continue to have access to care without interruption and that the VA will be able to improve the delivery of care by addressing critical infrastructure and medical staffing needs. While this is only a short-term fix to the problem, we pledge to continue working together to address the various barriers to timely care for our nation’s veterans.‎ We thank all of our colleagues, especially Senators McCain and Moran, who helped reach this important agreement, and we look forward to our continued collaboration in the future.”
The VA Choice and Quality Employment Act of 2017 authorizes and appropriates $2.1 billion for the Veterans Choice Fund. The legislation also authorizes 28 major medical facility leases and puts in place reforms that strengthen the VA’s ability to recruit, train and retain their workforce.
The bill is expected to be voted on by the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday, July 28. If approved, the Senate must follow suit and pass the measure before Aug. 15, 2017, the date the VA informed Congress that the critical program would run out of funding.
###
The Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs is chaired by U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., in the 115th Congress.
Isakson is a veteran himself – having served in the Georgia Air National Guard from 1966-1972 – and has been a member of the Senate VA Committee since he joined the Senate in 2005. Isakson’s home state of Georgia is home to more than a dozen military installations representing each branch of the armed forces as well as more than 750,000 veterans.
