VETERANS group sue over TRUMP's Maralago buddies taking over VA healthcare

[TTQ64]

I don't recall any of them passing a house or senate committee vote. They answered no questions. this is horrible and treasonous. Trump has no bottom. Just handing power over the VA to members of his golf club is impeachable.

Could you imagine if President Obama just handed over ANY positon to Reverend Wright?

He barely knew right. Wright was just a local reverend at the church Obama attended. By the way, what church is trump going to? Trump is the most recent atheist president playing a religious one on Tv.

I know. The right and the media tore a new one in President Obama just for being associated with him.

I can't imagine what would happen if President Obama did ANYTHING that dump is doing.

He met Wright in the 80's. Wright also married the Obama's and baptized their children. The Obama's were a member of that church and Wright was their pastor for almost 30 years. That is quite a bit more than "barely knew".

You mean country club types shouldn't be plotting the 'sale' of VETERANs healthcare ? Especially if their only qualification is beingTMMs? One being the CEO of 'Marvel Entertainment--all 3 Trump's Maralago Members. It is absurd and an insult.

Sue Over Reported Troika Of VA 'Shadow Rulers' From Mar-a-Lago

"The health and safety of veterans isn’t a game for Trump’s Mar-a-Lago members to play with between rounds of golf," an Iraq War vet said.

A veterans group has sued to stop a triumvirate of billionaires hand-picked by President Donald Trump among his wealthy Mar-a-Lago members who are reportedly serving as “shadow rulers” secretly calling the shots at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Democratic leaders demanded an investigation into a report by ProPublica last week that Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter, Palm Beach Dr. Bruce Moskowitz and attorney Marc Sherman are making hiring and policy decisions at the massive federal agency even though they have no experience serving in the military or government, nor have they gone through any vetting or approval process.

ProPublica cited hundreds of pages of documents and interviews revealing several meetings and conference calls by the men with senior VA officials. The men spoke with officials daily, reviewing policy and personnel decisions, and often treated the administration like their own private company, except they didn’t understand the work, ProPublica reported. VA officials even traveled to Mar-a-Lago at taxpayer expense to meet with them.

VoteVets, an activist organization that says it represents 500,000 veterans, filed a suit with the aid of the progressive group Democracy Forward to shut down what it called the “Mar-a-Lago Council” and “compel the Trump administration to fully disclose the role members of the president’s private golf club are playing in shaping decisions that affect millions of America’s veterans,” said a statement...

Golf buddies are the new Deep State.......

Unfortunately the VETS get what we voted for. And the ones that need the VA the most are the ones stuck with the latest 'iteration' of a fix.

at least its better than the last iteration.......

[PostmodernProphet]

You actually think a bunch of VETERANS and the lawyers, willing to take on this case, likely PRO-BONO, wouldn't think to see if these 3 guys were indeed calling the Pentagon and the VA and asking for briefings related to VA healthcare?

actually, I think its likely they never even bothered to look before publishing the story.........they're lib'ruls......is there any reason at all to believe them?.......

[Old Trapper]

Of all your links only about 4 can be considered major news outlets and of those 3 lean left. Get back to me when CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX report on it.

Wouldn't do any good. All you would do is whine some more.

Aside from the fact that they tell the truth while your gawd lies? And so far all you fools have done is whine while none have posted anything that says the story is false.

[ThatOwlWoman]

I read through about half of them. Did not bother looking at the rest. At least you were honest enough not to say non partisan sources.

"A new report questions how the Veterans Affairs Department is being run in the Trump administration. ProPublica says the VA has three "shadow rulers," three men who have never served in the U.S. military or government but have outsize influence over all department decisions. Nick Schifrin talks with Isaac Arnsdorf of ProPublica and Melissa Bryant of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. "

About Propublica: https://www.propublica.org/

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProPublica:

"ProPublica is an American nonprofit organization based in New York City. It is a nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest.[3] In 2010, it became the first online news source to win a Pulitzer Prize, for a piece[4] written by one of its journalists[5][6] and published in The New York Times Magazine[7] as well as on ProPublica.org.[8] ProPublica states that its investigations are conducted by its staff of full-time investigative reporters, and the resulting stories are distributed to news partners for publication or broadcast. In some cases, reporters from both ProPublica and its partners work together on a story. ProPublica has partnered with more than 90 different news organizations, and it has won four Pulitzer Prizes.

you were born with the brains God gave everyone.......now you've gone and fucked them up......I suppose you think he should give you a new one.......

Why would you refer to someone you obviously do not believe in?

[Centerleftfl]

Those leaning can also be reporting the news. The fact that they are not Fox does not mean they are not correct. The National Enquirer has broken huge stories. When it comes from a source you do not like, do not simply dismiss it. Wait and see if other sources corroborate.

ONE HUGE STORY! Edwards and his love child.

So you read minds now?
