All I'm looking for is a medical opinion to connect what I'm experiencing now to what is in my service medical records.
Shouldn't be an issue then. Chronic pain in vets isn't exactly a new subject.

I don't know if there's a line Trump could cross with some of these people. As a Republican (barely these days), it's embarrassing to see some of the shite people give him a pass on.
It's funny thinking back on the Bush days and how while I might have disagreed with him on some issues (and agreed with him on more than anyone here would ever believe), I always knew that he was a decent human being.
I think we all laughed at Trump's comment that he could shoot someone in Times Square and wouldn't lose support, but he wasn't joking. He's now feuding with the Pope on matters of refugees. He's given ISIS the best recruiting tool since the Iraq War - their social media accounts are just posting the Executive Order without any commentary, because it's not necessary.
Some of these chumps would sell their 12 year-old daughters to Trump just to be that much closer to him. It's disgraceful.
Hopefully very soon we have a functioning Republican Party once again. You guys do have some great up and comers, when they're willing to show some damn backbone.

Someone should tell the VA.
I've been fighting them on sleep apnea for 2 years. I'll probably never win that one.
I wrote Kasich in, by the way. Would have voted for a number of the other candidates as well. If y'all had been smart enough to nominate Webb, I'd have voted for him, too.

Yeah, that's a tricky one.

I would have enjoyed the campaign between Kasich and another Democrat. Might have voted for him over Hillary, though it probably would have depended on his policies. He's at least not a damn moron. Think he burned his bridges with the Trumpkins, though. Killed any chance he might have had even when it goes south.

Yeah. Hard to connect without a military diagnosis.

Maybe, but I think he could bring a lot of people over. Depends who he'd be up against, too.

Don't think we'll have any idea who's in front for the Dems until the resistance to Trump solidifies a bit more. Even Warren is making bad votes, and Corey Booker rightfully sunk any chance.

It's weird. I was thinking last night how, in normal times, the nomination of Gorsuch while imperfect for my beliefs in some areas wouldn't really inspire more than the die-hard right-to-choicers to take to the streets.
Imagine a world in which Trump doesn't do all this stupid EO stuff the first week, and the Garland nomination is handled as if Republicans were adults (hearings, then vote him down)..and this would be a non-issue.
But now? Democratic Senators are getting thousands of letters and calls a day and hundreds of people showing up to their local offices, all with comment - not a chance in hell. Between the way Garland was treated and the inability of Congressional Republicans to grow a backbone against Trump, the last potential bulwark against the crazy seems to be SCOTUS. In that environment, not a chance in hell will he get a single Democratic vote (well, a few, they'll try to protect some key purple states, but there will be a line at 58-59).
