Man, I've been checked out all evening. It's going down now?! I thought they were voting tomorrow!

McConnell wanted to get it done in the dead of night because...because.

 

[iavi]

Looks like McCain left to take a phone call.

Trump or Mooch?

Lol if pence couldn't do it, Trump sure as hell isnt

 

[Fenderputty]

John McCain, a man with a long legacy, hero to Americans and also Congressmen everywhere, did what any man does when forced the stare at their own mortality.

He took a step back, and thought. About his legacy, his family, his career. This things in life that he loved.

"There's only one thing in this dang world I've ever been any good at," he thought to himself. "And that's Mavericking"

"So I'm gonna give this here chamber the kind of old fashioned Mavericking he haven't seen in years"

And at that moment, John McCain smiled.

Hope

 

[B-Dubs]

IS THIS REAL

Not yet it's not. It ain't over til it's over.

Trump: "Vote for this or you're fired"

McCain: ???

Tim Miller @Timodc
This is the moment where The President will call upon the reservoir of goodwill he has built up with Senator McCailololololololololol

 

[Zolo]

XD

 

[Slizeezyc]

Yeah very much not over at all, this is just another weird twist for now.

I'm going to have to call you names again John.

Ducey?

 

[Futurevoid]

Mooch though...he'll probably tell him to suck his own dick and that'll do it.

 

[Chococat]

Technically it is tomorrow there.

Yup- 1:21 am on the east coast.

Finish this shit Senators.

 

[Fenderputty]

I needed this laugh

 

[Mike M]

Welp, now there's no way I can go to bed tonight without knowing the outcome of this.

 

[metalslimer]

Oh my god i just realized Trump is going to attack McCain again if he's a no.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Don't fuck with McCain.

*I need to put an asterisk next to every statement like this for the next week or so.

 

[Paches]

This is the craziest thing

 

[Autodidact]

Someone in OT mentioned that even if McCain, Collins, and Murkowski vote no, we know which two will get the heat.

 

[Officerrob]

This is legit insane

 

[Futurevoid]

CSPAN saying McCain isn't budging. McConnell walked by him and didn't acknowledge him.

It's down to Murkowski.

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

I mean if this vote fails they can't even move to the actual vote, right?

It would still be dead if they stopped it here, I'm assuming.

@ClaraJeffery
"McConnell just walked by McCain on the floor and did not acknowledge him"-- CSPAN (!)

Not the sick

man

 

[JettDash]

I will be so happy if the Turtle fails.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Oh my god i just realized Trump is going to attack McCain again if he's a no.

Dude if this goes down, I can not fucking wait for Trump's tweet storm tomorrow. The rage will be legendary.

And then Trump will veto the sanctions bill out of spite like a dumbass.

 

[sphagnum]

Oh my god i just realized Trump is going to attack McCain again if he's a no.

McCain literally ought to just tell him to fuck off. he's dying, he doesn't need to take that shit. call him a small handed loser and set him off.

 

[RumbleHumble]

OH FUCK

 

[skullmuffins]

Oh my god i just realized Trump is going to attack McCain again if he's a no.

Trump is such a loser. Of course he'll have no qualms about attacking a former POW who's dying of brain cancer and is never gonna run for office again.

 

[Zolo]

It's down to Murkowski.

Hey. You know how Trump threatened your state earlier.....

 

[metalslimer]

Oh GOD

 

[Suikoguy]

Yeah very much not over at all, this is just another weird twist for now.

True, but I shifted the probability from probably passing, to probably not.

I'm probably going to have to type up quite the apology to McCain tomorrow.

 

[Officerrob]

Here we go

 

[RumbleHumble]

IT'S HAPPENING!

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

See you on the other side everyone.

No, the current vote could be closed at any time with no consequences.

But if the actual amendment fails, the entire budget act presumably fails (because it's the BCRA which we know can't pass).

So no healthcare bill, plus, uh, at some point the GOP will still need to pass a budget.

 

[Futurevoid]

Votes on.

 

[sphagnum]

murk don't fuck this up

Isn't it AHCA? Which is even less likely to pass.

 

[Officerrob]

Hold strong

 

[pigeon]

Right, my bad.

 

[Zolo]

Please don't turn my despair turned to happiness back to despair again.

 

[broz0rs]

Pence ain't in his seat..

 

[whyamihere]

@seungminkim
Pence is NOT in the chair.

a;sdlkfja;sdf

 

[Officerrob]

GOP Senators look shook

 

[metalslimer]

a;sdlkfja;sdf

AHHHHHHHHH

 

[Zolo]

I wonder if McCain told them he was a 'yes' only to turn to a 'no' at the last minute.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Oh shit.

 

[Emarv]

Pence ain't in his seat..

Exactly. And if he's not there and there's 3 no's, others will jump too.

 

[daedalius]

Omg get it over with!

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

Brb preheating the oven for crow.
