I think the Dems were singing. Saying to the GOP that they will lose their seats.

well what was it?

 

[Fenderputty]

Your move Turtle

 

[HotHamBoy]

Sorry that you have these disgusting motherfuckers creating laws, US. They seriously are selfish scumbags.

Yeah, well, this country worked as a team to hand them the power. Many individuals tried their best, but the combination of spite and apathy from the majority was too great.

 

[Creamium]

So when's the Senate vote then?

 

[xxracerxx]

Dems are so classless.

Pardon?

 

[-griffy-]

Huh? How would that make sense?

Because all the reps who voted yes are in jeopardy for 2018.

 

[slit]

I think you guys underestimate how desperate the republicans are for a win. They'll do anything to make this pass. ANYTHING to make Obamacare not the law of the land.

I think you underestimate the dynamics of running for a Senate seat and running for a House seat.

 

[Maxim726X]

Im not nervous, maybe if I didnt understand our system i would be?

It won't pass in it's current form, but it has life now where before it had none.

And it's a political victory, though perhaps short lived, for the Trump administration. Don't like it when they win.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Pretty much.

We're too complacent now. Gone are the 60s/70s where people would actually protest and fight for rights. Now it's fuck liberty, give me an iPhone.

BLM protests, the women's march, airport protests, and march for science say otherwise. Cynicism gets us nowhere.

 

[Boke1879]

Fuck Democrats that are singing about this. Think of the people who'll lose their coverage, not the seats some politicians might lose.

Hey dems didn't vote for this bill. I'm giddy about the GOP doing this shit because the ads write themselves.

Let's stop worrying about shit that doesn't matter

 

[iammeiam]

Extremely frustraiting if so. Still childish, and the cockyness is completely unearned when you have no recent victories to speak of.

It's basically a moment to wordlessly just walk out in disappointment; that it got through even the House says a lot of really worrying shit about the state of the government. As far as I can tell it only even got revived because Trump was having a tantrum. It's worse than what failed before and got further.

You taunt the Republicans after you kick their ass; you don't do it in advance assuming a victory that in part relies on Americans remembering this shit in a couple years.

 

[The Jackdog]

Im hearing mixed info on the senate requiring 60 votes? is that still a thing?

 

[jmdajr]

Well fuck me for having T1 Diabetes, right guys?

HEY, FUCK YOU BUDDY! I'T'S YOUR FAULT!

 

[Lord Frieza]

I'm ready to fucking fight people in the street

Fuck this country

I will be with you, my friend. My hands are already wrapped.

 

[Neoweee]

Based on the NYT link it passed by literally 1 vote? Sigh...are you shitting me, 1 fucking vote?

Why would they even want more? They don't want it hanging around the neck of vulnerable members.

 

[Violence Jack]

I still don't believe it'll pass the Senate, and those who voted yes just kissed their seats goodbye.

Still, infuriating that they voted for killing people.

 

[Perd Hapley]

Dems are so classless.

Lol, THIS is your takeaway??

 

[Xe4]

I think you guys underestimate how desperate the republicans are for a win. They'll do anything to make this pass. ANYTHING to make Obamacare not the law of the land.

3 republicans need to vote against this. And that's if it still goes through budget reconciliation, which isn't a guarantee.

Best case scenario for Republicans, they amend it, and it has to go back to the house.

 

[kirblar]

Seriously. How the hell is this a cause for celebration for anyone?

That's not a celebration song, it's a taunt.

 

[thepotatoman]

They weren't the ones that pulled the lever

But apparently they're very happy that others did.

 

[Beefy]

Senate will stop it right?

 

[Chumley]

Fuck this country.

Darrell Issa cast the 216th vote for AHCA, putting it over the top

Issa won his district by barely 1000 votes.
Feel like he was likely bought out by other republicans knowing he'd lose anyway.

 

[D23]

Is this gonna pass the senate?

 

[HabeeNo]

Darkest timeline indeed

 

[Inferno313]

Pretty much.

We're too complacent now. Gone are the 60s/70s where people would actually protest and fight for rights. Now it's fuck liberty, give me an iPhone.

We're not. You might be.

 

[Archaix]

I will never understand the HATE Republicans have and had for Obama.

This is all out of hate of Obama.

Wow.

He just makes them so economically anxious.

 

[LyleLanley]

Wait, it was the democrats singing? Man, fuck everyone.

 

[fr0st]

wait did it pass the house?

 

[Ourobolus]

So, who here thought Darrell Issa would vote no? Because, I hate to break this to you...

 

[InfiniteBento]

The amount of rage I feel right now about this situation

I'm without words for it

 

[louiedog]

CBS News says the chanting is Dems singing "Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye" mocking Republicans for torpedo-ing their 2018 campaigns.

Maybe they should figure out how to win the elections instead of wrongly assuming Americans will remember and care without strategically reminding them.

 

[Sianos]

I will never understand the HATE Republicans have and had for Obama.

This is all out of hate of Obama.

Wow.

"actually it's about ethics in economic anxiety"

and that's why so many republicans have voted to remove their access to healthcare

 

[Amir0x]

How is the Hillary time line going?

Ill call you when that has anything to do with understanding how our congressional system works.

Civics 101, i encourage you to indulge yourself sometime and attend.

 

[Sean C]

And it's a political victory, though perhaps short lived, for the Trump administration.

It depends on what you mean by victory, since generally passing an unpopular piece of legislation isn't very beneficial, politically.

 

[sphagnum]

Stop getting depressed and start getting angry and organized

Jesus you bunch of defeatists

 

[Alucrid]

Fuck Democrats that are singing about this. Think of the people who'll lose their coverage, not the seats some politicians might lose.

didn't they think about the people who would lose coverage when they unanimously voted against it?

 

[ahoyhoy]

Why would they even want more? They don't want it hanging around the neck of vulnerable members.

Indeed.

This is supposed to be an open secret, but guaranteed Trump brags later about how masterful it was to ensure it only passed by one vote.

 

[Dante316]

Senate would require 60 votes. Republicans have 52 so not a super majority. So will be very tough.

 

[Tain]

oh good the dems are treating this like a game

we're in good hands everyone

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Wait, it was the democrats singing? Man, fuck everyone.

Singing and signaling get fucked GOP.

 

[pompidu]

The government is not for you, it is for the people who hold office and corporations.

This is just another reminder that your representatives do not and never will give a shit about you.

 

[HotHamBoy]

It won't pass in it's current form, but it has life now where before it had none.

And it's a political victory, though perhaps short lived, for the Trump administration. Don't like it when they win.

It's only a win on paper, every time he touts this he will be declaring what a shitbag he is.

 

[BackLogJoe]

Well fuck me for having T1 Diabetes, right guys?

If you had lived a good life you wouldn't have pre-existing conditions according to them.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Dems were the ones singing, signaling to the Republicans that they're going to get fucked next year.

They better hope so. I'm definitely gonna help make it happen when I vote in the midterms. Republicans are nothing but pieces of trash, them and their tap dancing, both sides arguing, obtuse ass supporters.

 

[PBY]

Maybe they should figure out how to win the elections instead of wrongly assuming Americans will remember and care without strategically reminding them.

Yes


But also, fuck norms. Not a great chant, but I like it.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

The only thing that can defeat shit like this is information. Tell everyone concisely and clearly and don't over exaggerate or be dishonest in any way about this plan versus Obamacare.

If the average American actually understood the basics of what the Republicans are doing, they wouldn't have even gotten close to this. But because the Republicans just straight up lie about things and not enough people realize it they feel like they can get away with.

No fucking more goddammit.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

I will never understand the HATE Republicans have and had for Obama.

This is all out of hate of Obama.

Wow.

well he's black for starters.

 

[Joel Was Right]

These scumbags sang as they voted to condemn their constituents to a life of poverty, illness, and death.

The same constituents that demanded the ACA to end?

 

[WarioFan63]

I still don't believe it'll pass the Senate, and those who voted yes just kissed their seats goodbye.

Still, infuriating that they voted for killing people.

I hope so! The rep in my district ran unopposed during 2016 so Im hoping someone can dethrone him at the next election.
