No Josh, you gonna have to run with that mutherfucker.

[mobeau69]

Hawley introduced legislation to change his vote on the big ugly bill.

MSNBC


I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

[newdeal2]

1. That's not how this works, you dummy

Clearly not our best and brightest.

[mobeau69]

2. His polling must be really, really bad.

[Rebl2]

19. Good

He is one of my sorry ass senators. Running 🏃 away again Mr hawley?

[not fooled]

35. Yep. How stupid

does he think his voters are? Probably shouldn't ask...but the answer must be "very, very stupid" for him to think a transparent ploy such as this would influence them.

[orangecrush]

37. This

[COL Mustard]

28. I want to change my Presidential vote from Goldwater to LBJ

Oh wait I was only 6 years old. Never mind. I'll just change my vote for 1st Grade Class President that year.

Hawley is a moron if he thinks that will actually work. Or he's pandering to some part of his constituency. Who actually are morons, if they voted for him

[lastlib]

30. Hey, Josh Hawley made the top half of his class possible.

Ever since third grade.

[dweller]

3. Sorry chickenhawk Hawley

Facing the wrath of your constituents ?
Now you can run again like you did Jan 6



✌🏻

[sprinkleeninow]

11. He proficient at skedaddlin'...

so now running away from his vote?

[orleans]

49. "proficient at skedaddlin'"

[agingdem]

4. Hawley is more afraid of constituent blowback

than he is of Trump threatening to primary him....

[quakerboy]

60. He wouldnt have voted for it, if that were the case

Everything after the vote is posturing and publicity, meaning absolutely nothing.

And he really doesnt need to worry. Trump has his supersized supression force and the concentration camps funded, Voters who might go the wrong way can now be handled.

[luvallpeeps]

5. I have laughed & cried simultaneously.

I call it craffing. 🤭😭

[EuterpeThelo]

10. Ha!

I've called it that for years too!

[electric_blue68]

40. 🤔 Sounds too much like "crafting" to me. How anout - claffing? 🙂

[sop]

6. Can voters get a do-over on the 2024 election?

[Rebl2]

20. Exactly

[Basso8vb]

7. I thought it was impossible for invertebrates to be any stupider.

I was wrong.

[TomSlick]

34. There is no bottom for the stupidity of the MAGAts.

They will never cease to amaze.

[malaise]

8. K & R

For visibility

[LuckyLib]

9. You mean he actually sat down and read the bill?

Sent out some minions to look at likely impact to his constituents? Smacked his forehead with his hand?

Good grief, the stupid is mind-boggling.

[COL Mustard]

29. It was over 1100 pages coming out of the House.

No one read the whole thing. I read parts of it that applied to my work, but the rest of it? Nope. No time.

[drray23]

41. senators and representatives have staff that can read the whole thing

They assign enough people to read sections and then summarize and report to their senator or rep. So, the excuse about not knowing what's in the bill does not really hold water.

[not fooled]

36. But "not reading it" is not a legitimate excuse

Numerous experts reviewed the entire thing and explained the worst parts on air, many times, before he voted.

He could easily have informed himself. Actually, I believe he knew exactly what he was voting for. Effin' hypocrite.

[Bev54]

12. Wow that is some bullshit campaign. He is trying to play both sides, ineffectively.

[blue_jay]

23. Totally agree, he just wants to have his cake and eat it too nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

54. My thought too. . . . nt

[senseandsensibility]

13. Is this real?

[czarjak]

14. Re-Dude. GFY!

[Just Jerome]

15. That's my guy

in D.C. !!!

[JustAnotherGen]

16. Is this for real?

He doesn't know how this works.

[BootinUp]

17. Bad polls Josh?

[live love laugh]

18. Performative bullshit is all this is--so he can claim he tried.

[dflprincess]

21. I finally understand what is meant by

Having your cake and eating it too.

[KPN]

22. And his voters may actually be stupid enough

to buy it. I use may euphemistically.

[BComplex]

32. How else could they have elected such a crooked politician?

Only as stupid as it takes to hang yourself while drinking kool-aid

[calimary]

24. Changed his vote in what way? And how much of a change?

After-hour regrets after the dirty deed was done DO NOT COUNT.

[Celerity]

42. The title is misleading, here is what he is trying to do:

Hawley seeks to repeal Medicaid cuts he voted for

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5402636-hawley-seeks-to-repeal-medicaid-cuts-he-voted-for/

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) wants to repeal parts of the “big, beautiful” law he just voted for.

Hawley on Tuesday introduced new legislation to roll back some of the Medicaid cuts that were included in the massive tax cut law, which passed the Senate two weeks ago and was signed into law by President Trump on July 4.

Hawley’s bill would repeal provisions that limit states’ ability to levy taxes on health providers to receive more money from the federal government. The bill also seeks to repeal a cap on state-directed payments, which allows states to direct how providers are paid by privately run managed care plans.

“Now is the time to prevent any future cuts to Medicaid from going into effect,” Hawley said in a statement. “I want to see Medicaid reductions stopped and rural hospitals fully funded permanently,” he added.

[mobeau69]

45. Hey, it was a brief "headline" story. Basically the same difference though.

[Celerity]

46. No. Trying to do a very narrow rescission bill is not the same as going back ex post facto and saying he wants his Yea

switched to a Nay on the entire BBB package's final Senate vote.

[mobeau69]

50. Same difference.

[Celerity]

52. No it is not at all. IF Hawley could (he cannot) somehow go back and ex post facto switch from Yea to Nay on the BBB,

and no other Rethug changed from Nay to Yea, the entire BBB would fail.

This rescission package is extremely narrow and has no effect on the vast, vast majority of the BBB.

The two are NOT the same thing, they just are not.

Also, Hawley agrees with most all of BBB, save for a few things. He certainly would not be the vote that killed the whole BBB.

[mobeau69]

53. You're no fun at all.

❤️

[Celerity]

57. I can be a lot of fun, a whole lot.

[mobeau69]

64. ;-)

[Captain Zero]

51. Sorry Josh, Grandma is getting kicked out of

the nursing home. You have some space in the basement? Maybe set her up in a tent on a flood plain.

[Celerity]

55. That is not germane to my narrowly-focused replies. (BTW, I agree with your sentiment, it IS fair to put the blame

Hawley and every Rethug you voted for the BBB).

[slightlv]

25. Laugh hysterically...

changing a vote now means absolutely nothing, and he knows it. All it shows him to be is a flip flop idiot. What, he wasn't shown enough of the bill, being from MO, to know not to vote against it when it counted? Too bad. He's going to have to live with the results, and hopefully the people of MO know exactly what kind of "man" he is and will vote him out. One can dream. At least, I keep dreaming about people kicking out all these KS Brownback holdovers... seems no matter how hard I work against them, they keep getting back into office. (sigh)

[Javaman]

33. Laugh like Robert DiNero in Cape fear lol

?si=hcx7B3pgf88e3T6Q

[tinrobot]

26. Gotta be honest, if the bill actually mitigates the damage, I'd support it.

A few of my friends will lose their health insurance if nothing changes.

[calimary]

47. Well, there certainly is that.

Health insurance should be a RIGHT. NOT a privilege!!!

[BoRaGard]

27. run run run - run away

ooooo o yah yah yah

run run run away

* to be sung to the tune of run run run away

[EnergizedLib]

31. Too late

He’s in at least until 2030.

[hatrack]

38. Well, his lord and master is famous for taking mulligans on the links . . .

Why shouldn't The Littlest Senator emulate The Littlest President?

[Pinback]

39. Ready-Fire-Aim (nt)

[Skittles]

43. what a fucking COWARD

just fucking disgusting

[Blue Owl]

44. Can Josh run backwards?

[walkingman]

48. How about this - Trump and GOP gets there tax cuts, Hawley and maybe a Dem co-sponsor

removing the Medicaid cuts - probably would pass...get most Dem votes and lots of GOP votes...

Result - They get the tax cuts for billionaires, no one gets kicked off of Medicaid, rural Hospitals stay open...only bad result is about another TRILLION of debt is added to the deficit.

Then when our debt is downgraded and people begin whining about why they cannot get anything done in terms of social safety net - the powers that be will just point to our DEBT.

[marble falls]

56. Well, Josh, you sure stepped in it this time. You TACO'd, dude!

[lark]

58. I'm just screaming into the chaos these motherfuckers are creating.

Hawley is a fool and a total asshat!! He could have killed the horrible hurt working class America as much as possible bill, but no, he voted for it so it's in effect - it's all him and I hope the people of MO get this message loud and clear!

[MyOwnPeace]

61. The 'people of MO' voted him into office............

He was re-elected in 2024, years after seeing him run like a loud-mouthed chichenshit throuth the halls of the US Capitol.
Trust me - the people of MO will not abandon their 'We got ours but they will not get theirs" guy.......

[Conjuay]

59. No "do-overs'

This is real life, Sparky.

[thought crime]

62. Josh Hawley is just SO unintentionally funny.

I really miss Mitt Romney, but Hawley is a great fill-in. He's a Marjorie Taylor Greene for the more-sophisticated.

[HeartsCanHope]

63. Hawley humiliates the sane Missourians, (Democrats,) every time he opens his mouth or posts.

I certainly have never voted for him! He is a despicable human being--cowardly, ridiculous, and so attention-seeking he can't do anything remotely humane without counting the clicks. Missouri is stuck with him until 2028! What a loser!
