Paul Ryan is telling them precisely which vertebrae he's going to stick the knife between but they're not even listening any more, Jesus Christ.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

What needs to happen to completely remove all members of Congress and elect an entirely new set of both houses? Constitutional amendment with 75% of all states ratifying it? How do we start this process from the ground level... start contacting governors?

This bill isn't even what we promised in a repeal and will raise premiums and lower coverage. Pass it now it's all good, it's just health care. Can't wait to see U.S Congress handle budget now :stare:

Maybe the idea they're holding in their heads is that the conference bill fails, skinny repeal fails, the House blames the Senate, and the Senate blames the House. Or they actually want to pass this, who knows.

So, she must have chosen "yes." Like, there is no reason to remain quiet otherwise.

In a very hypothetical theory from an alternate dimension where all GOP Senators aren't moronic cowards, she could have decided to vote NO but remain coy so that Turtle doesn't have time to stall and throw yet another load of poo poo at the wall to see if anything sticks.


It's a real shame that no one has ever read the 27th amendment. It was even originally proposed with the Bill of Rights and everything.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

so let me get this straight. the senate will pass the lovely skinny bill in hopes that it will be used a foundation for whatever abortion they come up with, but the house will probaly just take it, add a bunch of even worse poo poo, then pass it tonight tomarrow. is that right?

It isn't going to help their 2018/2020 re-election campaigns when Dems can roll out "Every republican said this bill was a disaster, and yet they still passed it!" I would not be surprised if we saw a bigger wave than 2010.

Republican Senators are openly defying Trump on Russian sanctions and firing Sessions. Hopefully Trump will throw a spite fit and veto any health care legislation they manage to pass.

My understanding is if they add stuff it has to go back to the Senate again and this whole party starts anew.

Not quite, likely scenario is House doesn't add any poo poo, and just approves it, since then it gets approved w/o a second vote in the Senate

These pieces of poo poo are going to wait until the nation is literally asleep.


2017 republicans waiting quite literally until the nation is asleep, voting under cover of darkness is nothing new.

ThinkProgress posted:

Just before 1:30 a.m., the Senate voted 51–48 largely along party lines to pass a budget resolution that instructs several congressional committees to write legislation dismantling major provisions of health care reform.

This was when the democratic senators had their sit-in.

The only Republicans that'll lose their positions in U.S. Government in 2018 are the random people Trump cycles in and out of his administration as his diseased brain fizzles onwards towards the end of this country.
