Motion to proceed is pointless. Senate parliamentarian just came out and said half the shit in the bill violates the byrd rule, which means it needs either 1. 60 votes, or 2. watered down to point where its almost no change at all. Its dead jim.

too bad they can't try to ashcroft mccain at his bedside

Could have sworn there were 3 women senators stating they would vote no, plus Rand Paul, plus MCCain.

That would kill it right now.

If mccain is out, they only need 2 no's.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

This is ridiculous. McConnell isn't going to get these votes because of how much the GOP hates him at the moment.

 

[NullPointer]

”Senator, what is up for a vote tomorrow? Could you update me?" Fox News' Neil Cavuto asked.

”I thought you were going to tell me," Paul replied. ”I thought I was coming on air for you to tell me."

Paul said Republican senators are completely in the dark about what measure they'll cast on-record votes for or against on Tuesday.

”We have no earthly idea what we will be voting on tomorrow other than that it'll be moving to the House bill, but everybody knows it's not really going to be the House bill," Paul said.

I thought that was why it wasn't voted on in the first place a week or two ago?

It doesn't sound like anything's changed about that. It's just that Trump went from "Forget it, let's just wait for Obamacare to die by itself" to "Fuck, I don't want to wait, so just vote anyway."

 

[RPGCrazied]

Collins stated she would vote no even to proceed.

Murkowski doesn't like the cuts to PPP and said she would vote no also.

Didn't he pull that like atleast 3 times at this point?

McConnell should be replaced as Majority Leader. How can he ever recover from this debacle?

Honestly I hope they keep him for a while. Dude is awful at his job.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Plan C:

Repeal with a guarantee to replace within 2 years.

This way, it's guaranteed...eventually...maybe...

But in the meantime, I keep my promise to repeal the failing nightmare of Obamacare that's ruining the lives of zillions of humankinds.

"Plan C!?, repeal the ACA somehow!?"

Ohhhhh that's a great idea.

 

[Exile20]

To tell you the truth. The ACA is the same as Obama to them.

The Bush White House tried to pressure John Ashcroft into signing off on surveillance programs he opposed...while he was recovering in a hospital bed from surgery.

Fuck McCain and every GOP senator.

I don't even laugh at dumb shit like this anymore.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

For the record, it takes 34 hours to drive to Phoenix from DC (if you drove straight through, not even counting the return trip).

So 68 hours later, McCain could make it! Of course Coryn would need to be there to vote for the Motion to proceed anyway on Tuesday, hindering his trip. Could you imagine if people were trying to stop him Mad Max style from getting there?

 

[Ri'Orius]

Motion to proceed is pointless. Senate parliamentarian just came out and said half the shit in the bill violates the byrd rule, which means it needs either 1. 60 votes, or 2. watered down to point where its almost no change at all. Its dead jim.

So what you're saying is that every Republican can make a symbolic "kill Obama[care]!" vote without any real consequence?

I mean, that sort of grandstanding got them this far...

Not really. Cornyn, the whip, would be next in line, but they all hate him almost as much as they hate Ted Cruz.

Everything's bigger in Texas, including assholes.

Yep, and lest not forget that it was James Comey who literally raced these fucks to secure the hospital room from their deviousness the moment he became aware. Demanded the room be guarded 24/7 and forced no one to be alone with him without authorization. Fuck the GOP.

 

[Imperfected]

I have an idea.

Let's create a bill called the Fuck Obama Bill. This will be a special bill, in that members of Congress will be able to vote on it once per session at the cost of voting on any other bill during that session. They will be able to vote on it more than once, and at the end of Trump's term a high score chart will be posted to see who Fucked Obama the hardest.

Trump, of course, will also be brought the bill to sign each time it passes.

I think this will create the government everyone involved wants.

[RPGCrazied]

Has Obama chimed in at all about healthcare?

Dude has been MIA since Trump won. lol

 

[Souldriver]

The "Driving McCain cross country in a hospital bed to make him vote away other people's healthcare" scene is yet another guaranteed hilarious part of the dozen amazing films that will be made of this administration.

This is the track playing during the travelling montage.

Comedy and satire simply can't beat reality anymore.

Going out on a limb and guessing he supports ACA.
