Paul Ryan giddiness in the sound of his voice makes me think they're pretty sure it'll pass.

 

[Luschient]

CNN reports the GOP House members are "giddy with anticipation", and were playing "Eye of the Tiger" earlier.

GOP House members right now:

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

So fucking pathetic.

 

[Gutek]

Hell, would just being a preemie count? You'd be fucked just being born

Potentially. This is all at the discretion of insurance companies. They crunch the math and figure out who costs them too much. If premie's cost them too much in the long run, they might declare them a pre-existing condition.

 

[BassForever]

US politics is basically:

Rich people: "I don't want to fucking pay millions of dollars in my taxes to pay for blacks and Mexicans' free stuff."

*lobbies millions of dollars on politicians*

As long as that money goes to white politicians it's okay 👌

 

[Lord Frieza]

Paul Ryan giddiness makes me think they're pretty sure it'll pass.

Yeah, unless there is actually a change of conscience in one or two GOP during this, it'll pass.

 

[slit]

That makes it sound like it will pass the house.

That's pretty much a foregone conclusion at his point, barring a small miracle.

 

[Link]

When they arrive in their town hall, yeah, they'll care.

Don't worry, they'll just stop having them.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

So what is going on in Iowa with healthcare right now?

 

[Tansut]

GOP House members right now:

Inaccurate, that gif contains a minority.

 

[GreyWind]

"I want to thank the president of the United States for his steadfast leadership" - Paul Ryan

Kiss that ass.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

"This is a tax bill in disguise...one of the biggest transfers of wealth from middle class to the rich."

Nancy Pelosi breaking it the fuck down.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Inaccurate, that gif contains a minority.

They've got a token here and there in there

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Ryan ain't gonna take the blame for this again, he will not put it up for a vote unless he is sure it passes the House. Whole different beast in the Senate.

 

[Nista]

He is such a lying scumbag. Just no empathy in his entire body.

 

[A Serious Man]

I've been told repeatedly, for years, to never underestimate the stupidity of House Republicans but it still shocks me sometimes.

 

[Swass]

Ryan speaking like he cares about people.. he is just giddy he is ripping an entitlement out of peoples hands.. "we are doing something that has never been done before" is what he said a month ago..

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

The idea that this goober would become the president if Trump/Pence get kicked out somehow makes me wonder if democracy should just be burned down entirely.

 

[rec0ded1]

Ryan is like one of the douches from cobra kai growing up and becoming a politician.

 

[Joeku]

I hope Paul Ryan's grave is next to Trump's so I can hit them with the same stream.

 

[Meowster]

He is such a lying scumbag. Just no empathy in his entire body.

You can't have empathy and be a Republican at this point in history.

 

[Link]

I've been told repeatedly, for years, to never underestimate the stupidity of House Republicans but it still shocks me sometimes.

It's not stupidity. It's malice.

 

[EatinOlives]

The only reason why these assholes are happy is because this is their only win. Even if the win is the most evil, ill-informed, fiscally irresponsible piece of shit that has no chance to pass the Senate they'll be thrilled they got something done for their asshole of a Cheeto crusted president.

They're going all out with the giddiness because they know it'll be their only win in a long, long time.

 

[Vectorman]

Are we going to falter?!? Yes...errrrr no? Lol.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Ryan is like one of the douches from cobra kai growing up and becoming a politician.

My God...it's true

 

[leakey]

The amount of hyperbole is boggling in this speech damn

 

[A Serious Man]

He is such a lying scumbag. Just no empathy in his entire body.

He's cutting taxes for the rich, he's rock hard right now.

 

[rjinaz]

So they got the party buses ready to head straight to Trump to no doubt make an announcement. It's going to pass. I've accepted that.

Now we have to go through the motions again with the Senate.

 

[bjork]

"That is why I'm going to be so proud to cast my vote and prove what a piece of human shit I am."

 

[samoscratch]

Lyin Ryan up there speaking in total generalities enthusiastically cheering the future deaths of millions.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

US politics is basically:

Rich people: "I don't want to fucking pay millions of dollars in my taxes to pay for blacks and Mexicans' free stuff."

*lobbies millions of dollars on politicians*

Pretty much

 

[eagledare]

Ryan up there fearmongering like a motherfucker. If they pass this bullshit they'll regret it.

 

[Lord Frieza]

It passed

 

[leakey]

The volume of the "No"s sounds wayyyy louder.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Hell, would just being a preemie count? You'd be fucked just being born

That I'm not sure of, but lordy that would be awful if it was preexisting also. A friend of mine is a preemie and has had a lot of health issues in relation to it.

 

[subrock]

The volume of the "No"s sounds wayyyy louder.

doesn't matter, they know who's falling in line before the vote even happens

 

[Dreadnought]

It passed

? They haven't voted yet

 

[SwiftDeath]

Assuming it passes the house, what are its chances in the Senate?

 

[Lord Frieza]

The volume of the "No"s sounds wayyyy louder.

It's just they're being louder. The 'Eyes' had it.

 

[rjinaz]

Lyin Ryan up there speaking in total generalities enthusiastically cheering the future deaths of millions.

I prefer Americans that don't die from lack of healthcare. Besides they aren't Americans if they are dead. Checkmate libruls.

 

[Swass]

MSNBC said the whip is projecting 217, if just 1 waivers.. err mer gerddd!!!!

 

[plagiarize]

"Look guys, we got almost all of our own party to agree on a horrible piece of healthcare that people hate! It only took a month to pressure and coerce the ones who didn't want it before. GO US!"

 

[Riddler]

GOP House members right now:

Victory before it even passes. I know they said they wouldn't vote unless it passes but I do hope it blows up in their face Willie coyote style.

 

[sangreal]

Paul Ryan giddiness in the sound of his voice makes me think they're pretty sure it'll pass.

Yup. Will be shocked if he loses on the floor

 

[bjork]

That dude needs to enunciate better, even if the people in the room know what he's going to say. Or they should just have an auctioneer.

 

[Zyae]

It's just they're being louder. The 'Eyes' had it.

uhh

 

[studyguy]

here we go.

 

[Joeku]

It's just they're being louder. The 'Eyes' had it.

I can't tell whether that's a Handmaid's Tale joke or you misspelled "Ayes".

 

[Lord Frieza]

? They haven't voted yet

They literally just did, they are just doing the recorded vote to see who voted for what.

 

[phaonaut]

Is that the bill? that many democrats are voting for it?
