And if they did, and if it were, i'd like to see the reaction if they acted like this about vets diagnosed with any other mental condition.

Vets get health care. It's part of the deal.

If they have anything serious they aren't recruited. This is what Trump is driving at: that gender dysphoria is incompatible with being able to serve in the military. It's a "pre-existing condition", if you will.

If this passes without Murkowski and Collins as the only No's it makes a lot of sense for them both to become Democrats.

So mcmagic can have *three* Senators to be a little bitch about.

I bet the lobster wasn't even 70 years old. Lobster lifespans are roughly 31 years:

The theory behind charging more for the older ones would be, I think, that they'd be loving huge; lobsters continue to grow throughout their lives, indefinitely.

When lucy pulls the football, I'm going to help you back up, but I want you to know I'm still disappointed you tried to kick it.

The amendment up on the healthcare bill is on low income assistance, I'm guessing it fails on some procedural matter.

If McCain/Johnson/Graham are planning to kill the bill then the only thing I can imagine is that they are announcing soon so that McConnell delays any actual vote, assuring that this poo poo continues and "high blood pressure" becomes another new pre-existing condition I need to worry about

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

What the hell are they gonna do if the House just passes it? Sue them? Tell them off harshly? Shut down their cafeteria?

My best guess is they're angling for some kind of "wahh we really told the House not to pass it" defence, which is going to convince exactly zero voters.

So that if the bill passes the senate, they can go hands off and say "we didn't make the bill that completely destroyed healthcare, it was ________ in the conferencing"
