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

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.Originally Posted by Bourbon

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.

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? No paperwork, relying on just word of mouth or newspaper stories? Uncorroborated news stories? And that no VA officials traveled down to meet with the 3 men at their request to MAR A LAGO? The veterans and the lawyers just relied on all made up 'uncorroborated' sources?
Yeah, sure, WHY NOT! None of the participants have anything better to do with their time and money!

Yeah those RADICALS at Stars and Stripes and CNBC and AXIOS. Hair on fire lefties. And even the NY POST (owned by Murdoch) worked on it. And only would the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER do a story about such a 'boring' subject if it wasn't for the fact a HOLLYWOOD player was a part of the deal.

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.
Verified User
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.

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.
