WHY IS MCCAIN BEING THIS TRIPLE AGENT?

Complains about things being done the wrong way, vote yes to proceed, vote yes on repeal the same day.

BUT VOTES NO HERE?

 

[The Fronde]

So what happens next??

 

[sankt-Antonio]

At least I can sigh a breathe of relief. Thank you Maverick, for once.

Wasn't he one of the people to set this in motion ?

 

[Scrotum Phillips]

What a crazy fucking turn of events. Unbelievable drama. Complete with a out-of-nowhere wrestling face turn of a war hero with brain cancer at 1:30 in the morning.

Also, can you believe MSNBC didn't air this live? Are they f'n insane? Drink some coffee, idiots.

 

[How About No]

im gonna wait til the votes are done til i start screaming

 

[pirata]

Kind of glad I only started following the proceedings a few minutes ago.

 

[Aselith]

Heller a Yes when he could've easily been No. What a dipshit.

Being called a cuck hurts

 

[LiquidSword]

Heller hadn't voted, was never listed as a "no".

It was always just McCain, Collins and Murkowski.

Ahh okay thanks

 

[ZOONAMI]

[kcp12304]

UNLESH THE MCAIN GIFS

 

[XMonkey]

Heller is toast and he knows it.

He also voted against full repeal.

 

[FantasyFreak07]

Absolute insanity! Screw you McConell.

 

[Iolo]

I'm waiting until vote is actually closed to shake my wife awake

 

[Shauni]

Are people actually congratulating McCain now?



lol fucking gullible

Look, I'm by no means saying we should resolve McCain of his shit from the past, his spinelessness, his lies, etc. But it's a fact that in this moment, McCain killed this vote.

 

[cress2000]

All yes voters should be checked for brain tumors immediately.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Voting still isn't closed.

I mean I feel it's more likely that a Republican who didn't like the bill will vote no now that it's pretty much dead then for any vote to flip

 

[B-Dubs]

whats going on right now?

That maverick son of a bitch and the two moderate darlings saved the ACA, for now.

 

[Codeblue]

The political equivalent of "It's just a prank, bro".

 

[DrEvil]

Congrats from Canada

Agreed, another canuck here.

First glimmer of hope in the past seven months for you guys.. honestly surprised, but very glad for you all.

BREAKING: Republican Senators McCain, Murkowski and Collins vote against key health care amendment.

 

[Darknight]

Obama
McCain

2020.

GO!

 

[Machina]

/pol/ are breaking their keyboards and it is glorious

 

[Measley]

I'm not celebrating until that gavel drops.

I don't trust those assholes.

 

[mike6467]

Jesus. the_donald is basically saturated with Mccain insults, blahblah deep state collusion, and a sprinkling of direct calls to violence. I don't spend much time there, but I assume that's pretty standard.

 

[mackaveli]

Close the fucking vote already come on. man wtf is this shit. probably something shady they trying to pull!

 

[Aselith]

So what happens next??

They roll out a bill for the ACA but named BAB so that they can win one. Anorexic repeal and replace with the same.

 

[Opto]

America doesn't sentence millions to die once again and we celebrate. We're such a fucked up country

 

[Feep]

You know what's crazy? If Trump, the master negotiator, hadn't literally threatened the ENTIRE STATE OF ALASKA, this might have passed.

Get fucked, Trump.

This a thousand times, he's voted terribly in the past but at least here, reason prevailed.

 

[border]

So what happens next??

They will pass the Repeal Obamacare Act of 2017 -- a one-page bill that makes no changes to current policy, but allows them to say they repealed Obamacare.

 

[Officerrob]

Not over until the vote is closed

 

[Sobriquet]

Heller is so fucked lmao

 

[btrboyev]

What are they doing right now? Why haven't they officially said the vote failed yet?

 

[Herr Schwarz]

Dang kinda disgusting uproar on the donald about Mcain breaking out. But then again that's the donald.

Huh? MSNBC is showing it live.

 

[Shauni]

Wasn't he one of the people to set this in motion ?

Yes, that's the crazy thing about all of this. He came back specifically to vote for the MTP that started the process to here and, presumably, to vote in this skinny repeal. It's insane.

 

[Steel]

VOTE CLOSED!

But people said this would never pass.

Spoiler

I should start finding posts for the inevitable crow eating....
Regrettably...

So, that crow?

 

[Xe4]

So what happens next??

They come up with another shitty fucking bill and try to get it passed. It's been dead a bunch, and they're not going to stop trying now.

 

[DrEvil]

lost by one vote, lmao.

 

[3rdman]

Please end this!!! I am too wound up and need to sleep. Happy so far but exhausted.

 

[Davide]

Officially failed now.

 

[MIMIC]

49-51

 

[mj1108]

DEFEATED 49-51!!

 

[Dierce]

I'm very happy this failed but we should remain cautious. We don't know what they will try to do next.

 

[Elman]

They will pass the Repeal Obamacare Act of 2017 -- a one-page bill that makes no changes to current policy, but allows them to say they repealed Obamacare.

Dude, I think you're on to something...

 

[TheUzukiLives]

Damn, Macain being a super triple agent. Guess he didn't want to go out with this on his conscious.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

McCain with the

 

[Lonewulfeus]

He just said can we add this back to the calendar and unanimous consent?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

It fucking failed. The Yub Nub is back on.
