Also that the party who has been running since forever on the notion that Washington is broken is now making their lie true.

Also notable that they intentionally kept breaking it to make that a feature of their argument.

They kept breaking it to advance their heartless agenda. That it coincides with their narrative is a bonus.

I need one of two things to happen. McCain to be the deciding no vote and for Trump to twitter rant about his brain cancer. Or for the senate to pass this and the house to fuck the senate and pass it on an up and down, sending it to trumps desk.

Apparently there's also, for god knows what fucking reason, a $2b cut to the CDC in this bill. Enjoy your Zika, my dudes.

I think this was a budget or parliamentarian issue that was tossed in to meet budget rec requirements.

I just want a democratic senator to go up there. Just say "We'd help if we could get invited" then drop the mic, put up two birds, and walk off shouting "Peace among worlds".

One can dream.

**Tyche** · 2017-07-27 23:20

Rumor is McCain is gonna drop the mic and end this shit.

**Deftscythe** · 2017-07-27 23:21

A rumor his staff started, no doubt.

LOL people fall for this bullshit everytime.

**Mertron** · 2017-07-27 23:53

long delay between votes, and it is assumed it is because republicans don't have Collins, murkowski, or mccain

pence is currently talking with mccain

**Tyche** · 2017-07-27 23:54

All the votes are in. They're still holding the vote open. I don't think they have it.

I need mooch commentary.

the current vote is to send it to committee. the vote for the actual repeal hasn't happened yet

**Tyche** · 2017-07-27 23:59

I wonder if Heller, Capito, et al are going to jump,off the bandwagon if they don't have the votes (and they don't, or it would've been rammed through already).
