1. ET????

[edhopper]

2. it will pass

and then healthcare will be destroyed.

[loyalsister]

4. Or it will not pass in a floor vote and Trump will be humiliated

I suspect there are a few GOP senators who are carrying a lot of spite over the damage Trump is doing to the party.

[edhopper]

5. If this procedural passes

the bill will pass.

[loyalsister]

6. Have you personally confirmed avery single vote?

If not, you don't know that.

[edhopper]

8. Bercause that is how it works

they aren't doing this not to pass a bill.

[loyalsister]

10. Have you been present in any catch and release discussions

I have. These kinds of votes are used to please the base or keep promises then they are free to represent their states or conscience. KY and AR are two states that have benefitted greatly from Medicaide expansion. I would be very surprised if they put their state GOP majorities at risk.

[edhopper]

12. I don't think they care

and know they will keep their base with God, Guns and Gays.

They release people only when they have the votes.

This voting for the procedural and not the bill won't cut it.

Done deal. We are screwed.

[loyalsister]

14. Defeatism will make it all feel better, right?

I prefer to watch, give it some thought based on what I have seen and learned up close, try to have hope and do what I can dod, and get mad when I have all of the facts.

[edhopper]

15. What in the last 6 months

has given you hope?

Not defeatism, realism.

[loyalsister]

17. Certainly nothing here

Of course there's a good chance I will be disappointed. It's part of life. To walk around without hope is to be completely useless as a friend, colleague, or role model.

[Kaleva]

7. How do you know that?

[edhopper]

9. It's how

it works.

It is foolish to think otherwise.

[Kaleva]

11. That's not an answer.

[edhopper]

13. If I said it is my opinion

that it's a done deal and healthcare will soon be in the dumper.

Would that satisfy you?

[Kaleva]

16. Yes.

I would have no arguement with what you said if that was your opinion. I may not agree with it.

[edhopper]

18. I should have made that clear

I guess it appeared I had inside knowledge of McConnell and the Republiscums.

I only know them to be vile assholes who will destroy our country. And there is no check on them.

3. And trump has a presser at 3

To celebrate killings few thousand people moreevery year. Sickos
