[tyven]

A lot of those Senators already said they would vote against not just the bill, but the MTP as well.

McCain looks like shit.

[Talint]

Democrats applauding McCain as he's the deciding vote to open debate on murdering 30m+ poors.

Fuck that party so hard.

[tyven]

50-50 collins and murkowski were nos. Sat at 48-2 forever with Ron Johnson and Mcconnell having an intense conversation which was all for show because the second McCain wandered in and voted "yes" johnson followed suit.

McCain owes every second he keeps living to health care we pay for, but if we want our own we should run for Senate I guess.

Government-provided healthcare didn't prevent his mortal illness.

Doesn't work.

Defund everything.



I guess it makes sense that Murkowski would claim the second "look libs im trying" spot. Otherwise that was just as expected.

Spoiler alert. Thursday or Friday they're probably going to vote for some shade of shit that will be confirmed by the House.

John McCain finishing his life and career the way it started. Flying a plane to kill people.

So when is the post-vote victory party at the White House?

[Aerin]

I'm honestly confused as to what this vote was for. Because it wasn't to pass an actual bill?

[Zetanio]

they are voting to continue arguments on repealing/replacing the healthcare act

It's to open debate. So yes it's procedural, but it's a big step.

was a motion to proceed, i explained it in an earlier post this morning if you want to dig it up.

[synistar]

Was this to open debate on Repeal and Replace, repeal and delay, the house bill, or repeal and nuke everything?

They are going to vote on full repeal (and delay), BCRA, and a third skinny repeal

As i understand it they still do not have the votes for straight repeal or BCRA, tho they will still try for both. the only thing that hasn't been ruled dead is being referred to as the "skinny" aca repeal. would repeal the individual and employer mandates, and the medical device tax, but (reportedly) do nothing else. The aim is to get to conference with the House. No one seems to know if there are the votes to pass but it's the only thing people seem to not be writing off.

[Mertron]

was driving to work, from what I could hear on cspan in the car it sounds like they're voting on straight repeal?

edit: didn't see tyvens post

My understanding is they're basically voting on whatever McConnell wants them to vote on. Fucking morally bankrupt political cowards. I hope Heller gets destroyed in 2018 as a "reward" for this. In his primary, even, just to twist the knife that he followed along with the GOP and still gets fucked.

Btw who was the one saying we shouldn't dance on McCain's grave? Because dude literally dragged himself from the hospital to spit on your face. Fuck him.
