Now the real fight begins. I expect everyone running around like a chicken with their head cut off here better be b9mbing their senators offices with phone calls

 

[broz0rs]

Lmao Darryl Fucking Issa's vote won it.

Edit:

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

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

I read Dems were singing this towards Republicans implying their election losses in the future.

 

[Officerrob]

Lmao Darryl Fucking Issa's vote won it.

He's done in 2018

 

[Emerson]

Lmao Darryl Fucking Issa's vote won it.

It won by 2 votes

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Surprised and impressed. Especially with there being almost no room for error (217 apparently). Now we watch senate republicans polish this, send it back and enrage the HFC.

If you're a moderate republican you basically lost your seat for nothing today.

 

[nature boy]

Not sure what changes, wow it passed the House (BARELY) and how is it going to pass the Senate, plus the backlash it's going to get.

They're still have no idea what to do.

 

[Plinko]

Lmao Darryl Fucking Issa's vote won it.

No it didn't.

I'm wondering if this is more of a "We know we have the votes and know constituents will hate it, so we'll allow a few GOP Reps in iffy districts to vote no."

This is what happened. They had more.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Lmao Darryl Fucking Issa's vote won it.

Gotta say, that feels right if it were true (it's not). Like, movie-wise, that's a pretty good ending for the evil triumphs version.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

If victorious, Republicans will be having a big press conference at the beautiful Rose Garden of the White House immediately after vote!

[whyamihere]

You think having 2 votes over will really stop the ads of "the deciding vote"?

 

[Dierce]

I really want to see all republican politicians in prison. I don't fucking care what charges are brought against them. Those shits deserve to be locked away from society.

 

[Pixieking]

On the assumption this doesn't actually pass the House second time, this great news, yeah? Riles up the Dem base, and now all the media is going to be awash in how it hurts the poor.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Did not know this.

Democrats are singing the same song on the House Floor that GOPs sang to them in 1993 when Clinton tax bill passed.

[Emerson]

No, but that doesn't make it true.

 

[whyamihere]

It's the Democrats singing because the Republicans just put their majority in jeopardy.

C'mon guys.

No, but that doesn't make it true.

It also doesn't matter and you'd be foolish to think that will stop anyone from running an ad calling them the deciding vote.

 

[broz0rs]

It won by 2 votes

Issa was vote no. 216, but yeah you're correct

 

[Wilsongt]

It's the Democrats singing because the Republicans just put their majority in jeopardy.

C'mon guys.

Bad optics.

Very bad optics.

At least this trash may die in the Senate.

Maybe.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Gotta say, that feels right if it were true (it's not). Like, movie-wise, that's a pretty good ending for the evil triumphs version.



To be fair, this isn't a new thing to the House. Lots of embarrassing shit has happened there in terms of being tone deaf.

Yep. I remember being a naive kid and thinking it was bullshit that reps got switched out so often and that was a terrible system the Founders should never have instituted. And then I realized what loons get elected to the House, let alone their conduct there, and I realized they were smarter than I realized.

 

[A Serious Man]

Well regardless of where this ends up, it's been a shit day.

 

[Emerson]

It also doesn't matter and you'd be foolish to think that will stop anyone from running an ad calling them the deciding vote.

Truth doesn't matter to you?

Bad optics.

Very bad optics.

Maybe.

Fuck optics

 

[Wilsongt]

Well, hopefully the courts are already warmed up to slap down the religious EO Trump signed today.

 

[Kusagari]

Did Curbelo vote for it?

 

[whyamihere]

Bad optics.

Very bad optics.

At least this trash may die in the Senate.

Maybe.

Literally Republicans did the exact same thing with Rep. Marjorie Margolies in 1994.

 

[CygnusXS]

For anyone thinking of moving to Canada, I'm happy to give you a tour of Vancouver.

 

[Wilsongt]

Literally Republicans did the exact same thing with Rep. Marjorie Margolies in 1994.

Yeah, but don't forget that Democrats are held to a different standard than the GOP.

The GOP can do it and get away with it. The attack ads and spin are going to be brutal against Dems.

 

[whyamihere]

Truth doesn't matter to you?

I'm not cutting the ads against Republicans so you should maybe take it up with someone who is.

 

[Chumley]

No, but that doesn't make it true.

Get the fuck out of here with that. Seriously. If Dems get hung up on technically true shit they'll lose everything yet again. They have to play dirty.

 

[RastaMentality]

Issa was vote no. 216, but yeah you're correct

who cares honestly. run the scary ad with THE DECIDING VOTE so we can win shit.

 

[Emerson]

Well, hopefully the courts are already warmed up to slap down the religious EO Trump signed today.

There's not all that much in it warranting a quick smack down. Maybe it gets defeated after a lengthy battle, but ain't shit happening anytime soon. There's nothing all that offensive about it (relatively speaking to Trump's baseline offensiveness).

 

[Teggy]

Celebrating a "win" before it passes the senate seems pretty desperate. And pretty much exactly what trump would do.

 

[Slizeezyc]

For anyone thinking of moving to Canada, I'm happy to give you a tour of Vancouver.

Canada is wonderful and have visited numerous times, but I'm not leaving this wonderfully goofed up country, what would be the point of all the work put in before this?

 

[whyamihere]

Yeah, but don't forget that Democrats are held to a different standard than the GOP.

lolololololololol

okay buddy

 

[benicillin]

Celebrating a "win" before it passes the senate seems pretty desperate. And pretty much exactly what trump would do.

That's because this entire thing was orchestrated for Trump. Literally that's it. The next few weeks aren't going to suddenly be easy as pie because they passed the lowest possible hurdle.

 

[Emerson]

I'm not cutting the ads against Republicans so you should maybe take it up with someone who is.

Get the fuck out of here with that. Seriously. If Dems get hung up on technically true shit they'll lose everything yet again. They have to play dirty.

Where the fuck did I say they shouldn't run the ads? Nowhere. Run as violent and hateful ads as you need to in order to get these monsters out of office.

In my personal conversation, I'm still going to value actual truth.

 

[Wilsongt]

It looks like the Congressional exemption from Trumpcare's bullshit was axed. Bitches got caught and voted unanomously to remove the provision.

 

[pigeon]

Every vote is a deciding vote no matter what the count, don't be fucking dumb

 

[Suikoguy]

It looks like the Congressional exemption from Trumpcare's bullshit was axed. Bitches got caught and voted unanomously to remove the provision.

Wow, this thing really was rushed if they fucked that up.

I'm literally telling you to expect ads about the deciding vote. I am not advocating for said position. I'm agnostic on it. I am telling you to expect it. You then came for me saying "truth doesn't matter to you?" to which I replied.

Breathe.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Wow, this thing really was rushed if they fucked that up.

Yeah Congressmen never generally miss out on the chance to sweeten their own pot. Maybe these guys aren't so bad after all!?

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Reminder that one of Trump's campaign promises was that everyone would be insured and have lower premiums and no cuts to Medicaid.

 

[Chris R]

If the Dems could run ANYONE with a chance in AK I'd be so fucking happy. Don Young has to lose/die at some point.

 

[whyamihere]

Exactly.

 

[pigeon]

Also get ready for the AHCA to become more popular among Republicans now that it passed the House

 

[excelsiorlef]

Every vote is a deciding vote no matter what the count, don't be fucking dumb

Exactly

 

[AntraxSuicide]

It looks like the Congressional exemption from Trumpcare's bullshit was axed. Bitches got caught and voted unanomously to remove the provision.

Congress should be required to sign any provisions upon proposal. I don't care that it didn't make it in the end, only who thought of it in the first place.

Every vote is a deciding vote no matter what the count, don't be fucking dumb

I mean, technically there's a deciding vote but we don't timestamp votes.

Run national ads in every district over this shit.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Also get ready for the AHCA to become more popular among Republicans now that it passed the House

Well yeah, but that was always a given no matter what.

 

[Nelo Ice]

So is it wrong I'm already imagining how cruel attack ads should be?. As in I kinda hope there's an ad saying "By the time you see this ad I will be dead thanks to *insert Republican* voting to take away my healthcare.".

 

[PBY]

Also get ready for the AHCA to become more popular among Republicans now that it passed the House

YUP.

Few tweaks in the senate, add a few more friendly provisos

Bang.

 

[Kusagari]

Curbelo needs to be a top 3 target in 2018.

Can't believe this shithead voted for it.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

So is it wrong I'm already imagining how cruel attack ads should be?. As in I kinda hope there's an ad saying "By the time you see this ad I will be dead thanks to *insert Republican* voting to take away my healthcare.".

We should absolutely run this ad. It's really not going to be difficult to do.
