Hawley folds. Anyone surprised?

[senseandsensibility]

According to Chris Hayes on bluesky, Hawley is now a yes on the big ugly bill. Hawley is then quoted as saying: "This has been an unhappy episode here in Congress, this effort to cut Medicaid...Frankly, my party need to do some soul searching, if you want to be a working-class party, you've got to deliver for working-class people. You cannot take health care from working people."

So....he's going to vote for it anyway? I knew he was pathetic but this level of gutlessness MIGHT even penetrate some maga brains.

[hatrack]

1. Ah, so Protector Of The Working Man didn't pan out, Josh?

So you made farty mouth noises about how much you "care" but are voting for it anyway?

Fuck. Off.

[marble falls]

2. He'd walk over his mother to pretend that he has a chance to run for POTUS.

[BattleRow]

16. And after walking over her dead body,after killing her,throw himself on the mercy of the court, claiming he's an orphan.

[marble falls]

18. That's his Jan 6 joggingness to a tee. He ran from supporters.

[allegorical oracle]

22. Whenever I hear his name, my mind flashes to his John Cleese-style lope through

the Capitol hallway and get a chuckle.

[marble falls]

23. It was pretty Cleese-y, twern't it?

[flying rabbit]

27. Nailed it.

[returnee]

40. With that punchable face? Never. n/t

[Skittles]

3. he put up a pretense that he gives a fuck

pathetic

[Basso8vb]

4. That's exactly what I expected from this tiny nazi coward.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Coward, weasel, traitor, horrid human being.

[dalton99a]

6. Josh Hawley is a tough-talking coward

[senseandsensibility]

7. A picture is worth a thousand words

Thanks!

[paleotn]

14. Run, Josh, run! My first thought too.

[Iamscrewed]

8. The GOP is the enemy of the world

[BlueSpot]

9. Brave, brave Sir Hawley

Why a grown-ass man, and a U.S. Senator no less, consistently chooses to model his behavior after a laughable Monty Python character is beyond my simple understanding.

[Gimpyknee]

10. It's a done deal.

These mfers are not listening to their constituents. They’re only interested in staying in power. Do not underestimate the power of incumbency. We need term limits now more than ever before.

[MadameButterfly]

15. Term limits will not save us from

stupid Republicans

[allegorical oracle]

29. Worked on The Hill. Believe me, the power goes to their head. Both of 'em. nt

[SSJVegeta]

11. Ifbhe wants agency he needs to be a Dem. As a Republican he knows he isnt allowed to think for himself

And if he focused on his working class minded policies, he would proabbly get re elected in Missouri fairly easily

[Buddyzbuddy]

12. Yeah but he's very reluctant to vote for it.

At least that's how MSNBC is making sure to report it. So many very unhappy with the bill but will vote for it because the Felon wants it on his desk by the 4th so he can sign it.

You know what I do when I haven't read everything on a contract? I don't sign.

If a car salesman doesn't hate me by the time I've purchased a vehicle, then I haven't negotiated diligently. Wearing you down with massive paperwork, time constraints and rhetoric is a strategy. Adding options on after you've agreed on a price knowing you've already been there for 3 hours and unlikely or unable to remove the options is also a tactic. Take it or leave it. Leave it.

[BattleRow]

17. The art of the squeal.

[senseandsensibility]

20. Absolutely

Just like taco.

[KPN]

26. And he's deeply concerned.

[senseandsensibility]

41. He's channeling Susan

but at least once in a very great while Collins actually votes against trump. He can't meet her standards.

[republianmushroom]

13. Surprised ? NO, not at all.

[BurnDoubt]

19. Dickhead.

[Klarkashton]

21. This bill is really going to hurt real people.

This is going to be a horror.

[senseandsensibility]

25. It is

And the Dems need to tie the R's to it RELENTLESSLY and in extremely blunt terms. Over and over.

[KPN]

24. Once a coward, always a coward when it comes to Rs.

[fargone]

28. HACO

[senseandsensibility]

30. Good one!

[Vogon_Glory]

31. Josh Hawley's bravery is legendary...

Just like Sir Robin’s from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

[lastlib]

32. Not in the least.

His party "needs to do some soul-searching...." I sure as hell hope they find one, but expectations are low.

[Just Jerome]

39. Maybe if they ask

The Great and Powerful Oz for a soul
Or Dr. Oz
Or Ozymandias
Or Ozzy Osbourne

Ah, fuggedaboutit!

Way to make us proud, joshie!

[Rebl2]

34. Figures

Little running Hawley running away from the promise he made to vote against it. What a wimp🤬

[sop]

35. When his working class constituents lose their health care, he'll tell them he searched his soul, but couldn't deliver.

He searched his bank account and delivered to the billionaires who own his party instead.

[senseandsensibility]

36. And some of them might buy it?

That's the sad thing.

[LuvLoogie]

37. Please. Every GOP is full of shit.

They have enabled thieving Nazis.

I have never bought anything that guy has ever said. He is Susan Collins in drag.

[AllaN01Bear]

38. hem.

when i was little . we got to save the cubans. undere raygun the hatians. the iraq people and so on. now weare deporting them and their children. grrrr/ snork. on medicaid . medcal i n ca, u had so long to get rid of it? grrrr.

[stollen]

42. Hawley is a TACO TO GO

Starts with a raised unifying fist and then turns tail and runs for his life.

[madinmaryland]

43. He is a profile in cowardice.

[leftyladyfrommo]

44. He is so disgusting. And such a phony. I

think everything he does is calculated to get him to the presidency.

[Autumn]

45. Every republican will vote yes . I think Fetterman will vote yes too.

[MadameButterfly]

46. Fetterman is a hard no

He won't support cuts to Medicaid, etc.
He won't support tax cuts for billionaires.

What do you base your statement on?
We have been unhappy with him lately but painting him as full-fledged MAGA goes a bit overboard.

[Autumn]

47. Just a feeling,maybe just fear . He hasn't been too happy with Democrats lately.

[MadameButterfly]

48. A little misleading is all

People will think you have a basis for your statement.
I see no sign of him waffling on this.
