     9/11 first responder and advocate Luis Alvarez dies at 53 9/11 first responder and advocate Luis Alvarez dies at 53 https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/29/us/luis-alvarez-911-responder-dies/index.html
    I saw this today. He was dying and he made his way to Washington to plead for a freaking bill and he was going for chemo the next day and he has now sadly passed away because he did what most people would not. Stand on a pile of who knows what and see human remains and carefully make sure they were honored, no matter if it was a body or a hand. He saw things people never see. And he died without the Senate voting on the bill. Mitch is an asshole.

    Rest in Peace, you have done more for this world than most and you are a Hero. 
    I saw that too, and it broke my heart.  Jon Stewart spoke for a lot of us who wonder where is (now, was) the help for this man 18 years after 9/11, when he was there to save lives within seconds, I believe he said.

    I hope those similar to Mr. Alvarez are helped in the ways he was shamefully denied.

    well he DID have that funding abailable for him and his family. Guy was set to start his 69th round of chemo.....

    He went to Congress, on deaths door. to make sure those behind him had the same help.

    A Responder to his  last breath......

    look for his letter to congress, has a hand written note for Mitchy baby too.....

    Where’s the far left fake press person ambushing him in the halls of Congress or on his front lawn requesting that he defend these two very different votes? Oh wait, both sides aren’t the same. Funny that.

    And where exactly was Team Trump Treason’s “leadership” on this issue? You know, calling the repubs into the WH to express his desire to see this bill passed as he’s a lifetime native New Yorker and those heroes suffered tremendously and we’ll cut something somewhere to pay for it, let’s do the right thing and if you don’t, I’ll EO your asses so it affects Kentucky and Utah and I’ll primary your asses as well. “Leadership?” Oh right, he just likes to pretend that he drives fire trucks and really, he doesn’t give a rats ass. Somebody please post that fire truck pic.

    what do you think Ryme, heroes of 911 can eat dust? Still proud and glad Team Trump Treason is POTUS, economy and all?

    No moral compass. No compassion. No spine. But ask both those pasty white child raper supporters how dying in a coal mine makes them admire fiscal responsibility and bubbling bubble big breasted cray cray, cuz, you know, Sweden held political prisoners demand freedom because wow are you hot.

    Wow!  Yep, that's about right.  Appaulling
    No moral compass. No compassion. No spine. But ask both those pasty white child raper supporters how dying in a coal mine makes them admire fiscal responsibility and bubbling bubble big breasted cray cray, cuz, you know, Sweden held political prisoners demand freedom because wow are you hot.
    Whoa, slow down there my man, I'm not sure I caught all that... :lol:

    Mike Lee and Rand Paul, "bottom feeders".  Exactly.
    And where exactly was Team Trump Treason’s “leadership” on this issue? You know, calling the repubs into the WH to express his desire to see this bill passed as he’s a lifetime native New Yorker and those heroes suffered tremendously and we’ll cut something somewhere to pay for it, let’s do the right thing and if you don’t, I’ll EO your asses so it affects Kentucky and Utah and I’ll primary your asses as well. “Leadership?” Oh right, he just likes to pretend that he drives fire trucks and really, he doesn’t give a rats ass. Somebody please post that fire truck pic.
    I thought the exact same thing. Forget about "leadership" because it'd be disingenuous and fake. But just politically, how stupid could he be NOT to jump on this? It's an issue that anybody can get behind regardless of party affiliation. He has the NYC background like you mentioned, it'd be consistent with the farce that he's patriotic and loves the military (I kinda lump the 9/11 respondents in with the military), and it could distract from all of his usual bullshit. At worst he'd have to throw Paul and Lee under the bus, but who cares? 

    But no instead he's focusing on getting some rapper out of Sweden or something. He starting to make a lot of mistakes politically (I know, I know, he makes dozens of mistakes daily in other areas). But as far as electioneering goes, what would grab him more votes? Putting up a fuss over the 9/11 bill not passing, or helping a rapper accused of assault? Senility might be setting in quick with him..
