PENCE has left the chamber.

 

[Lonewulfeus]

Remember these are the people who are suppose to protect you and provide support for you.

I think people are really coming to grips with how much parts of the government do not give a shit about you, alot of politics is charades.

Yup, people always laugh and say stop being ridiculous when we bring up the fact that outside of a revolution things aren't going to change, this government doesn't work for the people anymore it's just incredibly obvious now.

 

[Xe4]

This is going to pass, people.

Maybe. I was at probably a while before, but now it's up in the air. I still think it will, ultimately, but this is not what was expected to happen.

 

[KHarvey16]

Pence leaving is great news.

 

[Jenov]

PENCE LEFT

WHAT IF HE JUST HAS TO PEE

 

[Aselith]

Pence just left the chamber.

McCain and Pence showdown on the Senate floor

 

[thepotatoman]

It has pissed me off to watch people relentlessly shit on McCain for the last week when the chips had yet to fall. Please back me up on this, John. You have such an amazing opportunity.

I'm willing to be wrong on him if it means the death of republicare.

 

[SoundofSilence]

Pence just left the chamber.

Good. Fuck him.

 

[gimmmick]

McCain talkng to a bunch of Dems on the floor.

 

[btrboyev]

If McCain is a no then sweet Christ on a stick please let the Alaskan senator have the dignity to stay no.

Please one time I'm hoping there is a republican that can't be bought.

 

[Davide]

PENCE LEFT

That means this definitely isn't going to pass, right?

 

[Shauni]

Pence just left the chamber.

Mother!

 

[Joeku]

Dems look happy; Schumer getting animated with McCain.

This is interesting.

 

[Plumbob]

McCain is conferencing with democrats now

 

[grandjedi6]

I bet they're really regretting dragging McCain out of a hospital bed for this

There is now a glimmer of hope that we stop this and hopefully start over in a bipartisan way to stabilize ins markets and bring down costs.

Easy now people, they're still huddling. It ain't over until the fat lady (the fat turtle?) sings.

 

[Meatfist]

McCain will probably be dead before the end of the year, it's the perfect time for him to grow a spine and have some compassion and integrity.

What a mess

 

[CrazyDude]

Pence has returned with chain-mail and an axe on.

 

[Lonewulfeus]

McCain is conferencing with democrats now

Ugh don't do this, I'm not ready to get my hopes up yet

 

[Mark L]

If I were McCain I'd just look Pence in the eye and ask if he remembered what Trump said about his time in a Vietnamese prison.

 

[John Rabbit]

What was that big reaction just now? I was in another tab.

 

[ZOONAMI]

McCain is conferencing with democrats now

FUCK YES

 

[SpaceCadetKeon]

WHAT IF HE JUST HAS TO PEE

WELL HE SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE THE VOTE

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

McCain is surrounded by Dem senators. They were laughing and looked happy. God I hope this means something.

 

[Aikidoka]

Goddamnit

 

[Vestal]

RISING PHOENIX!!!

 

[LiquidSword]

McCain is talking to the Dems! Holy shit! There was a big yell too. Idk what that was

Edit: Lol Rubio rubbing his chin all concerned

 

[Zyae]

McCain is talking to a group of 15 dems
including bernie and schumer
hugging them

 

[Dyle]

God, every time the volume of changes my heart skips a beat
It looks like this is it though

 

[Zubz]

On top of the literal millions of lives saved, Pence having to come out this late at night only to be shooed away is hilarious to me on a petty level.

 

[btrboyev]

Pence leaving is great news.

Don't worry he's just going to grab a picture of Trump with phone in hand.

 

[Opto]

Republicans are worthless monsters for it to get this far.

 

[thepotatoman]

McConnell and his entourage just walked away too.

 

[StoOgE]

Come the fuck on.

Let's GO Maverick

 

[Zolo]

Welp. They're not getting McCain then.

 

[Link]

That means this definitely isn't going to pass, right?

Or they have 51 votes.

Spoiler

Not likely, but I'm not assuming anything.

 

[Jarmel]

lol if Murkowski flips after all this drama with McCain

 

[Davide]

Democrats have been speaking with McCain apparently.

 

[Shauni]

If McCain is a no then sweet Christ on a stick please let the Alaskan senator have the dignity to stay no.

Please one time I'm hoping there is a republican that can't be bought.

She definitely can't be. The party basically abandoned her and she ran on a write-in campaign and won. That's probably their angle, though, because they know if Collins votes yes, her seat is toast.

 

[ZOONAMI]

THIS THING IS FUCKING DONE.

KLOBUCHAR IS HAPPY AS FUCK

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Mother!

🤣

Warm hug or fredo hug

It's well deserved hate.

MCCAIN holding court with Democrats, who have BIG SMILES and are sharing laughs.

 

[Joeku]

If this goes the way it's looking now, Trump's tweets are going to be entertaining in the morning.

Please, McCain, save what legacy you have left.

 

[TyrantII]

Yup, people always laugh and say stop being ridiculous when we bring up the fact that outside of a revolution things aren't going to change, this government doesn't work for the people anymore it's just incredibly obvious now.

For the people. L o l.

The people don't even vote or get involved. How are you going to have a revolution when 48% look to DC with a collective "meh".

Nope. They'll need to lose everything first. And there's no guarantee what comes next will be a FDR. A Hitler is more likely if we look at history.

 

[Chococat]

Part of me thought Pence left to go grab Trump.

Not sure that is allow, nor do I want it to happen. But it was an amusing thought.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

I've been away did something good happen?
