If you refuse to drink are you outed as a dirty liberal?

 

[Roland_Gunner]

By having the WH party and press conference, GOP already ensuring that media coverage today will be on their terms.

No idea what if anything have Dems got lined up.

The idea that this party is going to help the GOP only shows that people whining about optics have no idea what they're talking about.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

They are throwing a Beer and Pizza party only if this passes?

wow the political ammunition they are giving everyone against them...


Do these people think about consequences?

 

[Plinko]

The idea that this party is going to help the GOP only shows that people whining about optics have no idea what they're talking about.

Seriously, this is a PR nightmare for them. One of the worst political decisions I have seen in quite some time.

Doesn't Trump not drink?

 

[Lo-Volt]

Who are the two Democrats voting yes?

 

[Pandora012]

[cartoon_soldier]

2 Dems have voted Yes?

 

[Slizeezyc]

If you refuse to drink are you outed as a dirty liberal?

If you drink a Dos Equis are you deported?

 

[metalslimer]

Primary any Dem that votes yes wtf

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Doesn't Trump not drink?

correct

healthiest president ever

 

[Officerrob]

Those two Dems are fucking toast

 

[Emerson]

There's no way we can overcome 2 Dems voting yes. It was unlikely enough already. What the fuck

 

[Pandora012]

2 Dems have voted Yes?

probably guys that are in Red country.

 

[Suikoguy]

Primary any Dem that votes yes wtf

Seriously, there is nothing redeemable about this bill.

 

[PBY]

Dems



Don't care where they are. Fuck them. BYE.

 

[smokeymicpot]

NY times has a Dem voted Yes.

 

[Lo-Volt]

The Times counter flipped the two Democrats back to no.

 

[Plinko]

All in on primarying any democrats who voted for this.

 

[Loudninja]

nvm

 

[SexyFish]

1 dem flipped back

 

[VendettaRed07]

This is something you'd say if the only elections you're aware of are the last handful, in which a Democrat was president.

If you look at the larger context of history you will understand it is the case in the vast majority of instances that midterms swing against the sitting president to some extent, contingent on how popular/unpopular he was.

Larger context of history we've never had a President who is apparently never held accountable regardless how shitty he is and his nonsense creates a distraction from important issues that actually matter. A few twitter wars and the media will move on from talking about this to something else. And Trumps base is so heavily behind him I don't see democrats undercutting him regardless of what he does wrong

Past history does not apply to where we are at

 

[Slizeezyc]

1 dem flipped back

Haha, he's probably like, "oh shit pressed the wrong button."

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Rs got to 216. Passed.

 

[Lo-Volt]

217.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Fuck.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Wow, evil fucks. Fucking shameful

 

[excelsiorlef]

Nevermind

 

[Poodlestrike]

Siiiigh.

All on the Senate now.

 

[Dierce]

Every republican piece of shit can go straight to their interpretation of hell.

 

[Got the Shakes]

Both the Dems flipped back to no.

 

[Plinko]

Chanting a song. Get the audio, play on repeat throughout 2018.

 

[Officerrob]

Ok, no Dems voted for it

 

[SexyFish]

Now that one idiot Dem voted yes I look forward to that dominatimg some of the focus of the left.

No dems voted yes now.

 

[Pandora012]

I hope they all suffer in 2018

 

[tbm24]

Well, this circus just continues now. Glad they rubber stamped their name on this shit bill and all those who they hurt know who to blame.

 

[smokeymicpot]

 

[PBY]

Now that one idiot Dem voted yes I look forward to that dominatimg some of the focus of the left.

No. but it is dumb and I hope they get primaried to hell and back. Edit- It's zero? Good


Today it's on the GOP squarely tho.

 

[excelsiorlef]

No dems voted yes now.

Yeah edited out my post

 

[Slizeezyc]

Both the Dems flipped back to no.

Yeah, seemed off, regardless of the district.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

Today will be very frustrating, but political ads better be getting cranked out to hit the streets tomorrow. This shit is a disaster, and other than the issue of potential deaths (cries), this is the best outcome for Dems in a game theory sense. We'll have a record of every single vote on this thing. If you voted for it, I want a Dem hammering you back home for the next year and a half.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

the Democrat voting yes was a mistake by the NYT

(it was a guy in a D+10 district in TX, so no chance he would have voted for it anyway)

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

The raging hard on the GOP gets from screwing poor people and the sick will never cease to amaze me.

That's gonna be a bad look

 

[benicillin]

Now is a good time to step back, take a breather, practice some self-care and get back at it later. Trump is gonna parade this around but it's just the first step of many and this was *supposed* to be the easiest part.

 

[Plinko]

I honestly can't think of a bill that they passed before that would hurt poor and middle-class more than this. These are different times.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Really don't want to hear the prick speak in a bit.

 

[Kusagari]

They're seriously singing Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye.

These evil fucks must really think they're wrestling heels or comic villains.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

So, what is Dem strategy now to hammer how the bill affects people?

They have to deal with Trump, Spicer, Ryan and GOP that just lies about what is in the bill.

 

[tbm24]

The CBO score for this is going to be Amazing. I fully suspect this report to be even worse than last time.
