The amendment would establish a reserve fund of at least $75 billion for tax credits to help the core constituency that propelled Trump to the White House: Americans between 50 and 64, who would see their premiums skyrocket under the current repeal plan. But the amendment would not set up the tax credits – it would instruct the Senate to do so, forcing House Republicans to take a vote on something the upper chamber would do later.

Paul Ryan screwing Senate Republicans to somewhat cover his own ass, masterful.

I'll laugh about how stupid this is once it fails to pass in the senate and not a moment before.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Senate to pass a resolution saying 'nuh-uh, you blink first'

Recursive legislation, congress headed towards an old fashioned software deadlock.

 

[Reverend Funk]

if they really don't want to do any actual work maybe they should just give it to the democrats so they can go back to complaining all day

 

[rjinaz]

Let's just say we'll eventually figure out what to do about the old people. That will shut em up.

 

[Armaros]

yeah Ryan, i am sure that will go over well with party unity and getting them onboard with your, bill.

Sending your dirty unfinished work to the upper house of Congress is sure to be a winner.

 

[Kusagari]

McConnell, unlike Ryan, is actually good at being a leader so he's just going to look at this and laugh.

 

[Darryl M R]

Tag, you're it?

 

[A Human Becoming]

Paul Ryan is a mess.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

What fucking clown shoes.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Congress is so freaking worthless.

Senate won't do anything either.

Obamacare here to stay, we win.

 

[Armaros]

McConnell, unlike Ryan, is actually good at being a leader so he's just going to look at this and laugh.

Basiclly trying to leave the option of throwing McConnel under the bus if the bill goes south.

"If only Seneate Republicans agreed to the amendment we could have repealed ObamaCare"

 

[Nobility]

Does Ryan even care what people think about him anymore?

You would think he'd be smart enough to project how all this looks come midterms.

But nope.

 

[Boney]

Republicans broke the government. Just reboot it and get a good firewall.

actually a hilarious brilliant move by Ryan, pass the burden to the senate

But nope.

The entire GOP is flailing around like a fish out of water now that they actually have to legislate.

Getting the bill through the House has pretty much been his entire strategy all along. If the AHCA collapses in the Senate it's McConnell's fault.

But nope.

They are all in deflecting mode because they all know this entire healthcare bill can destroy them later, and they want any plausible deniability of actually being for it.

But they also know they wont get another chance to do this without Reconciliation and not early in the Presidency.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

The GOP is playing hot potato with the lives of millions.

 

[zero_suit]

Same as always...

 

[ZOONAMI]

The do our jobs for us bill.

 

[Forgotten_Taco]

Ryan making it obvious he just wants to dump this turd in McConnel's lap so he can say he did his part, it's the Senate's fault it failed.

 

[gimmmick]

Someone please explain how this party is controlling majority of our government again?

 

[Effigenius]

I really want the premiums of everyone who voted for trump to sky rocket. Couldn't happen to a more deserving group.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Someone please explain how this party is controlling majority of our government again?

Her emails and the big scary black man who ruled for 8 years

 

[I H8 Memes]

I'm not quite sure what is happening here. Are Republicans obstructing themselves now?

 

[Mr. X]

Maybe they can find some illegal Mexicans to do it like every other job in America no one wants.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

The do our jobs for us bill.

Ahem, I think you mean "The American Do Our Jobs For Us Bill" aka "The Greatest Do Our Jobs For Us Bill of 2017"

 

[Dead Man]

It's so transparent too, I can't imagine the Senate is going to be real impressed.

 

[Tranqueris]

"We are still trying to pass a 650 billion dollar tax cut for the rich. However, we have proposed a 75 billion dollar fund for older people.

Dear Senate, please figure out where to get that 75 billion."

 

[Unknown One]

Someone please explain how this party is controlling majority of our government again?

By making the opposing party the boogyman for everything. Repeat until it becomes true for dumbass voters.

 

[KernelPanic]

There's also this little bit:

https://twitter.com/steventdennis/status/843974597926162433

New York R delegation has won a special provision in mgr's amendment in return for votes on AHCA, per Rep. Chris Collins.

 

[Hazzuh]

This is so pathetic. No one wants to come out and admit there is no right-wing alternative to Obamacare because it is the right-wing alternative. Instead they will just push this shit around hoping someone else will take the bullet and kill this bill so they don't have to admit that they are liars.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

It's all they know how to do, Memes!

 

[Strike]

Look at all that personal responsibility.
