That debate last night was something. Glad that I learned Cassidy was a doctor for the umpteenth time!

They can hold that L and shove that trash bill up theirs

Hey, but did you know that he's a doctor, though?!

 

[BoogieWoogie]

what is the gop even doing? Are they trying to pass legislation? Or are the just making it seem like they are doing work so they don't get yelled at or fired. Not that I am complaining.

They are absolutely fucked for 2018. If they don't get primaried by an opposing GOP, they'll get 24/7 ads of them all laughing with Trump over it passing the House from Dems. All for nothing.

 

[Waylon Drums]

This shit is like herpes, though, so I'm just going to assume it'll flare up again at some point.

 

[kirblar]

Good. Now give us single payer like every other country on earth. Americans should not be paying huge ass amounts to go see the doctor.

Universal Healthcare is like almost every other developed country on earth. Single Payer is not.

 

[StoOgE]

Good. Now give us single payer like every other country on earth. Americans should not be paying huge ass amounts to go see the doctor.

Uh, most of the world does not have single payer.

 

[Clydefrog]

Good thing they had the CNN debate last night.

 

[Gnome Scat]

LMAO

 

[ForkNetwork]

Im going to asume that the GOP knew that Collins and Mccain werent going to change their vote so they just said "fuck it" and called it off

get fucked Cassidy

 

[JonnyDBrit]

@TheDailyShow
tfw you don't know the senate just bailed on your obamacare repeal

Three frigging branches of government.

I'm actually fine with not making this the immediate response to the Republicans' failed repeal efforts.

The response needs to be to get Democrats involved and shore up the existing Obamacare system.

Once that succeeds, and it's clear the Democrats are better authorities on healthcare policy than Republicans who can't even craft a passable policy, we can be in a better position to move toward a single-payer system. Hopefully that'll mean we get more electable Democrats, too.

 

[jon bones]

hahahah

 

[StarVigil]

Can't wait for next week's episode of repeal and replace.

 

[kevin1025]

That picture, haha. Looks like he's listening for the screams of Alderaan.

 

[Camjo-Z]

We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go, "Please, please, we can’t win any more"!

 

[snap]

Three frigging branches of government.

please have q&a and please have him find out it's dead through a press question

 

[Strike]

 

[Kthulhu]

WHOMP WHOMP WHOMMMMP

I hope y'all watched that Debate on CNN last night. Democrats beat the living shit out of both Graham and Cassidy on the stage. It was delightful! And it was wasted time for them to try and pedal their shitty bill while lying to constituents faces.

Link plz.

 

[Hugstable]

Get fucked GOP

 

[ThanksVision]

ty Jimmy Kimmel?

 

[BobNewbert31]

 

[Goo]

I guess those Koch dollars can be routed to poisoning the water supplies of poor neighborhoods now.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

YES!! Take the L.

How many more of these failed bills do we need?

 

[Ogodei]

Now we try Skinny Repeal again at midnight on Friday.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Even with a $400 million bribe hanging in the balance the GOP couldn't get it done.

Fucking pathetic!

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

YES!! Take the L.

How many more of these failed bills do we need?

bu bu bu we campaigned on repealing and replacing obamacare for 7 years, so we have to keep trying - GOP

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Fucking eat it you fucking garbage excuse for human beings. You fucking lost. We live to see another day.

 

[Black Mamba]

 

[Hazmat]

A disconnect is not a loss!

This is why they fought tooth and nail to kill the ACA before it ever took effect. People won't stand for losing their coverage, and they know it.

 

[Kevinroc]

Of course what we have to worry about currently is Trump and his cronies sabotaging the ACA from the inside. Which I imagine they will continue to do.

[fredrancour]

There's always a crazier tea partier waiting to get the primary dollars.

 

[Black Republican]

They'll come up with more ways to erase Obama's achievement and fuck over americans very soon again

 

[EdibleKnife]

Keep vigilant because the GOP is absolutely craven and they've already said that this isn't their last gambit. Keep your senators and congressmen honest. Don't let up until the GOP is absolutely out of power.

 

[BoboBrazil]

GOP won't try again in 2018 with midterms. This was it.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

GOP won't try again in 2018 with midterms. This was it.

Honestly, this isn't a sure fire bet.

Any sane person would expect that, but the GOP are really REALLY dumb.

 

[Exile20]

How many versions of the bill?

The Ryan Paul Bill
The McConnell Bill
The Graham Cassidy Bill

 

[Snaku]

 

[tuffy]

The Senate parliamentarian has told GOP lawmakers that their authority to push through a replacement with only 51 votes via reconciliation expires Sept 30. So hopefully this latest half-assed failure of a bill will be the last for awhile.

 

[djkimothy]

Good. Now give us single payer like every other country on earth. Americans should not be paying huge ass amounts to go see the doctor.

Not all countries have single payer. It's universal healthcare that you should be fighting for.

 

[Cartoonic]

I thought the gist of this attempt was they had to get it passed this week otherwise it’ll now be a required 60 vote majority to pass?

Am I imagining that? Because if that’s the case then it’s pretty much done.

 

[Gaardus]

GOP won't try again in 2018 with midterms. This was it.

I'm not 100% convinced; they've got a lot of donors holding this over them, and they have to fund their midterm campaigns somehow.

 

[Azuran]

Is this a record Ls on one issue?

LOSING LOSING

YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE SO MUCH

 

[Glass Shark]

i can't handle all the winning

 

[Kevinroc]

They can still pass a 50 vote bill using reconciliation during Fiscal Year 2018. Many people think that would be foolish of them to try to push such an unpopular bill during an election year, but their donors want Obamacare gone because they want the tax cuts.

 

[EdibleKnife]

HA! This is awesome

 

[Kai Dracon]

Nice set of Ls you have there.

Would be a shame...

If somewhere where to...

Hand you another L.

 

[Sephzilla]

GOP won't try again in 2018 with midterms. This was it.

I think they're going to try at least one more time. And honestly if it becomes more apparent that they're going to lose control in 2018 I wouldn't be surprised if they ram something through just out of spite.

 

[Trouble]

On to failing to pass tax reform!

I think they're going to try at least one more time. And honestly if it becomes more apparent that they're going to lose control in 2018 I wouldn't be surprised if they ram something through just out of spite.

They'd need 60 votes unless they can roll it into the tax reform bill, which will basically guarantee that won't pass.

Graham now saying he can pass this bill with a longer, regular order push. ”We're gonna take this show on the road."

sigh

 

[SwiftDeath]

Assuming that Repealing and/or replacing obamacare is actually dead, what does this mean for tax reform?

Thought one went hand in hand with the other for the most part, will they just try a watered down tax reform?
