Is any new org covering this tv wise?

I'm watching what is apparently a pirated version of CSPAN2.

Ben Sasse hasn't gotten anywhere near enough hate for being a "principled" shit head. He's already overtaken McCain for media darling status.

WaPo Livestream on Youtube. No graphics or anything, so a bit hard to follow.

Because McCain hasn't died yet.

Ben Sasse hasn't gotten anywhere near enough hate for being a "principled" shit head. He's already overtaken McCain for media darling status.

But he's so attractive and civil and swoonworthy when he's being a heartless bastard and moralizing scold.

#bothsides. You know Obama said that people cling to their guns and religion.

 

[Drkirby]

Going to the main vote, I guess I better get popcorn.

Also did the majority whip just troll them by saying they could work on it in the committee they just voted down?

 

[Zeeman]

This whole spectacle is genuinely monstrous

 

[PBY]

They wouldn't vote on this if they didn't have the votes right?

Am I missing something?

 

[Zolo]

This whole spectacle is genuinely monstrous

Yeah. Fuck McCain "Wait for the show" and Capito "Wait for the vote". This shit isn't a game or reality show.

Edit: Fuck me! I'm an idiot! McCain's fucking awesome!

 

[pigeon]

Its passing...

just let go

They wouldn't vote on this if they didn't have the votes right?

Am I missing something?

What the fuck is your deal

 

[NeoXChaos]

Why are the likes of Scott, Cassidy, Cchran, Cruz, Tillis etc who represent states with huge minority populations who will be hit hard by this bill voting for it?

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

They wouldn't vote on this if they didn't have the votes right?

Am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure they're backed into a corner regarding a vote but I'm also pretty sure they have the votes.

 

[metalslimer]

What was the last major non meaningless thing that went for a vote that failed. I remember the initial bailout failing which destroyed the stock market the next day.

But they are running a very tight ship here and one late defection could end it.

Edit: I see Rubio won't have his charming hair for much longer.

 

[Dierce]

Yeah. Fuck McCain "Wait for the show" and Capito "Wait for the vote". This shit isn't a game or reality show.

Those fuckers don't care. They won't lose their healthcare. Even if the USA goes completely bankrupt their families will live a cozy life. Republicans are the epitome of greed.

 

[RumbleHumble]

They wouldn't vote on this if they didn't have the votes right?

Am I missing something?

You're not. Murkowski, McCain, and Capito are all pretty much silent, but it's looking more likely than not that Bernie won't be able to pull out a parliamentarian rule to save our asses.

STILL WORTH HOPING ANYWAY.

 

[Kusagari]

Why are the likes of Scott, Cassidy, Cchran, Cruz, Tillis etc who represent states with huge minority populations who will be hit hard by this bill voting for it?

Because they don't give a shit?

 

[Drkirby]

As a person in Texas, I really don't see Cruz winning reelection anyway.

Spoiler

Racism

of their White constituents who get triggered by all the brown people near them and overwhelmingly vote Republican

 

[PBY]

What the fuck is your deal

?????

 

[whyamihere]

I earnestly don't know what's going on.

 

[RumbleHumble]

I earnestly don't know what's going on.

Neither does our Senate.

 

[metalslimer]

As a person in Texas, I really don't see Cruz winning reelection anyway.

He will, but I'll at least try to campaign against him while I'm here.

 

[pigeon]

I earnestly don't know what's going on.

Are you saying your fanfic on Twitter is not factually accurate

 

[Teggy]

Um...it looks like they don't currently have the votes.

 

[pigeon]

THEY ARE HOLDING THE VOTE OPEN EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE HAS VOTED.

Every senator has voted. They have not closed the vote because they don't have the votes for skinny repeal and are trying to wrangle them.

.

 

[Holmes]

Sounds like Collins, Murkowski and McCain are no's. Pence working McCain.

 

[RumbleHumble]

.

Please let this be true.

Please.

 

[Suikoguy]

Holy fuck, am I going to have to go an kiss McCain's ass and apologize?

 

[Zolo]

.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Holy fuck, am I going to have to go an kiss McCain's ass an apologize?

I will do it gladly if possible.

 

[Officerrob]

You gotta be shitting me

 

[skullmuffins]

please let it die. put this beast to rest.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

This week is going to kill me

 

[Slizeezyc]

You gotta be shitting me

I refuse to believe this is the Twilight Zone.

 

[RumbleHumble]

KILL IT MCCAIN. FUCKING KILL IT.

 

[broz0rs]

Pence is talking to McCain, who was seen laughing with Murkowski and Collins

 

[B-Dubs]

.

Please god, I don't ask for much, you often fuck me over hardcore, but can you just do me this solid? Please?

 

[Deuce Deuce]

Fucking cliff hanger. Wow.

 

[Marmaladefire]

It's amazing that they hate their constituents this much. Just let it die, right here.

 

[aspiegamer]

Don Lemon doesn't get paid enough to cover this shit. He's just the chat guy at the end of the day. He just wanted to talk about Steve Bannon's penis today.

Yikes.

Yikes.

We all did, Don. We all did.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Turtle looks concerned as fuck rn

 

[bananas]

My respect for McCain would go up if he actaully did this, and pulled the GOP along just to fuck them for getting him to vote for this after being diagnosed with brain cancer.

 

[Officerrob]

Come on you mavericky motherfucker

 

[GTI Guy]

how long can they keep it open for?

 

[metalslimer]

Please do one fucking good thing on your way out....

 

[mackaveli]

If McCain said no initially you better stick to your guns. How the fuck you go from No to Yes because people pressing you man. Stick to your fucking convictions.

They're giving us hope, only for them to rip it later, right?

 

[Futurevoid]

I will never speak ill of McCain again if he kills this.

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

I'm sorry I know this is serious but this is seriously me right now.

 

[aspiegamer]

Note to self: "Steve Bannon's Penis" is a good name for a garage band.

It's interesting that they're delaying this so much longer.

I will never speak ill of McCain again if he kills this.

I can't go this far (for now), but I'm still 110% ready to eat crow.

What happens if he's a nay but Murkowski goes aye? Does he get credit despite not actually killing it, and because his MTP vote is the only reason why any of this happened in the first place?
