The GOP's Monstrous Tax Bill Is Keeping Sen. John Fetterman From The Beach :(

[Galraedia]

The gargantuan Republican tax bill currently under consideration in the Senate represents the biggest cuts in decades to an already thinning U.S. social safety net, potentially booting nearly 12 million Americans from their health care plans.

Democratic senators on both sides of the aisle have been feverishly working to either sink the bill, whip up support for it or secure concessions in exchange for their vote — all before a July 4 deadline imposed by President Donald Trump.

But, like a schoolchild gazing longingly out a pane-glass window, one Democratic senator has tired of it all.

“Oh my god, I just want to go home,” Sen. John Fetterman (R-Pa.) told a small gaggle of reporters, including CBS News’ Alan He.

“I’ve missed our entire trip to the beach,” Fetterman said in reference to a family vacation.

1. Seems he's more mad at his own party than the GOP

[Irish_Dem]

5. He's angry because he has to work.

He doesn't see a connection between working and his paycheck.

[Ruby the Liberal]

6. Exactly. He's already voted in favor of it once

why stand around when you already know you're going to vote for it again?

[Deuxcents]

2. O, so sad for all of em. There's millions of us who can't go on vacations, get medical care or even eat

These entitled elected are our employees..they don’t deserve a vacation as their performance for the last 6 months has been pathetic

[mvd]

3. Fetterman, we elected you to do your job

If only I could even think of taking a vacation.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Omaha Beach was the only beach many US troops had ever seen.

After D Day they never got the chance to see a beach again.

[calimary]

7. Oh WAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I’m sorry, dude. YOU were hired to WORK for THE PEOPLE. The needs of the people are constant. Twenty-four hour needs, seven days a week, and they demand your CONSTANT attention.

If you didn’t want a workload this big, why the hell did you run for the job in the first place???

You’ll have all the time-off you want after we elect somebody better to that job. It’s obviously NOT you.

8. What's with his lazy slob schtick?

Retire already if you can’t do your job.
