It's their backup victory. So when the house inevitably shits itself because the freedom caucus is unhappy about their version of the bill not killing enough americans, they just pass this terd of legislation and tell the country bing bong obamacare dead great victory #winning

I mean holding a press conference to be like "this bill sucks" and then voting on something else is a pretty slick political move, one that they will absolutely, 100% get away with. So... I guess congratulations are in order? Humanity will get worse and more hopeless for millions of people. The status quo will not change. We don't deserve civil war.

Hey before you go trying to be a vindictive child about getting me permaprobed, would you answer why you never responded to my message about the gospel of thomas? i even sent you a chapter of the book. like i don't really give a gently caress whether you live or die but i did think it was rude to have snubbed me there when it was so clearly up your alley interestwise. I sent you a free chapter I think. One of the best ones too

tautologicus posted:

NML was never permabanned, just so you know that i know that youre getting emotional about my posts and making stuff up about me. all while you avoid my messages. i think youre also upset that i upstaged you in the one interest area that you have, even if that wasn't my intention. good stuff

what youre thinking of is that i wasn't banned for a toxx challenge, but then someone banned NML2 for that.

so this is a vote to pass a senate bill that says "we're just gonna kick the foundation out from under the entire insurance industry good luck suckers lmao"

the usual political logic is that it will go to conference where some shambing frankenstein's monster of poo poo pops out and it can be shot down by both sides as unsatisfactory

what's actually going to happen is Paul Ryan is going to turboboost this through the House and accept it as is, in fact he has not explicitly stated he won't do that

so basically, the republican senate is doing everything they can to pass a bill in the middle of the night they don't actually want to become law and are counting on the bloodthirsty lunatics in the House to stop it.

So, correct me if I'm wrong.

But basically the Senate passes this, it goes to the house. The house could just pass it as is, no changes at all. No reconciliation at all then, it goes right to the president. Who signs it tomorrow.

Saturday 10 million people cancel their health insurance because they face no penalty. Rates skyrocket, stock prices for insurance companies and all related medical and drug companies plummet. Monday morning, the Dow drops 1000 points.


This a possibility?
