No, it is important. It is just more important to fuck millions over.

Tomorrow isn't the "real" healthcare vote, just the motion to proceed with debates and amendments.
Also no, this isn't that moment.

C'mon man.
Well lets see which way he votes.
Would be amazing to come back and vote for sanctions and against the healthcare but we all know what he'll actually do.
What a hero. *rolls eyes*
Could someone explain this healthcare vote? From what I can tell, the Senate wants to open debate on the House bill, NOT the Senate bill with the even-worse CBO score. And what about that parlimantarian ruling where a bunch of provisions cant be submitted via reconciliation? This shit makes no sense.

after every development of the last nine years I wonder if it's like one big game of chicken and he'll hurtle out the way and return to his old maverick days.
he's going to be a party man right till the end, not even for good (by their standards) legislation either. what a fucking pity.

Thank goodness this hero is feeling well enough from his completely subsidized healthcare (not that he needs it since he's a millionaire) to make it across the country to help snatch healthcare from millions of his countrymen. What a wonderful, honest, upstanding man John McCain is to be so hellbent on his civic duty.

"I appreciate the government-provided healthcare that has done everything it can to save my life. Now let's go rip away healthcare from all those other fuckers.
I'm such a maverick."
I'm such a maverick."
Like Willis Reed.
Except instead of playing in a basketball game he's robbing poor people of healthcare.

I really, really, really fucking hope this has given him some perspective and he votes it down. Please.
I won't be surprised when he votes yes though. Ugh.
Y'all know better.This guy has a brain tumor i wanna see what side he finally takes.
This man has a serious illness that is clearly impairing his ability to ration. The last place he needs to be is in a position to vote for things that can and will impact millions of people. That he and the party find it more important that he should wheel out a dying man with an impaired ability to think about his actions to make such important decisions is representative of so much wrong with this country today. Anybody that tries and act the moral superior to people who are down on McCain should reconsider trying to tell them otherwise.

They have to start debate on the house bill so they can amend it by erasing all the text and replacong it with a Senate bill.
You know what though? It's weird he's even allowed to do this. My sister was retired from the Navy (she was a Nuke Tech) because she had to have brain surgery and they said because of that she could be a liability. So why does someone who could affect the lives of millions get to make decisions with a fucking brain tumor?
Well lets see which way he votes.
You know how he will
last week he was calling for hearings and a return to the normal order of the senate
now he's getting wheeled in on his deathbed to vote for a mystery death bill
anyone who called for sympathy for mccain can go fuck themselves, the man is a hypocritical bloodthirsty monster and i hope he dies before he can cast that vote

No, it is important. It is just more important to fuck millions over.
Yeah he can die now. So ridiculous that while dealing with your own medical issue you would go back to Washington to vote to move forward with this bill that is going to fuck over millions of people and their healthcare.

It's a procedural thing. All spending bills (or really, bills that spend money) must originate in the House. For the Senate to make changes to a House bill, they must first open debate on said bill, and only THEN make the alterations. So they're nominally voting on the AHCA, even though they'll just immediately alter the text to the BCRA.

I hope it fails anyways. Nobody would've blamed him for staying in Phoenix.

I can see that happening down the line. Shit is depressing. 5D chess is messed up.

Hey now. When they go low, blah blah blah.

It's McCain... he's gonna vote "yes", although he may grimace and shake his head a couple of times in regards to the process just to let you know he's still a Maverick™.

Party over country.
Even with brain cancer, these fucking republicans will stop at nothing...

Remember when people were saying we shouldn't say mean things about a guy who's trying to fuck over millions on his deathbed.
But he's the Maverick™!

The story being written right now if this "American Hero" comes back fresh from the hospital after revealing that he has a brain tumor and still votes for the GOP's mystery healthcare plan.
Like holy hell. Future generations will look back at us like we were a Dark Ages sequel.
