question:
Comment: The chief of staff would not lie to this reporter would she.  VA has never been caught lieing have they...

Chief of staff and don't know the employee staffing report...

Employee's leaving why.?  Think maybe people have read some where that the VA is not a good place to work.

Maybe they heard that if they don't do the VA's bidding they will be retaliated against.

So Denver VA is now in second place and grand junction is number 1,  bet Denver is jealous and will do what ever they need to do to become number 1 again.

How long before the rat's will distroy the new billion dollar facility.

Why don't you do a story on how the Denver VA punishes veterans for disruptive behavior and do not have to provide any written proof of the supposed disruptive behavior.

How they let VA employees punish veterans claiming they were disruptive.

Then ask them to show you the written proof, they did it to me and admitted they had no written proof of me ever being disruptive!

I have the proof !!!!

question:
Comment: And in news the R-G may cover tomorrow or the next day if the AP gets them a lead:

"A gunman unleashed a barrage of gunfire Wednesday at a park in Alexandria, Va., as Republican members of Congress held a morning baseball practice, wounding at least five people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (La.)."
"A Facebook page belonging to a person with the same name includes pictures of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and rhetoric against President Trump including a post that reads: “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.”

This is one way for the Democrats to get control of the House; shoot the Republican members!
