Edit to add - Why bother asking what to do? Drumpf told them f-u buddy and move on to focusing on giving billionaires lots of great great tax relief! Bigly!

7. What to do? I have some suggestions.

Some of them are not possible physically.

[BumRushDaShow]

[msanthrope]

doing them anyway.

[gordianot]

29. Precisely

[hamsterjill]

You have to pass it, because I SAID SO!!! I'm president and you're not

[ailsagirl]

5. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[yuiyoshida]

6. Republicans own it all...

The House, The Senate and the Presidency, and They still can't govern. What a bunch of Yahoos. Total disgrace... despicable lunatics. Everyone of them.

[NCjack]

18. #45 needs to get away for the weekend to Mar-A-Lago

to lick his sore ass and play some golf. Guess who should not expect an invitation: Speaker Ryan.

[yuiyoshida]

26. I am surprised they are not already looting the

Treasury and than having a kegger party with lots of naked dancing with shipped in hookers from New Orleans.

[NCjack]

21. Love LRB

"It's a Long Way There" is one of my favorites.


Oh, and 7 phucking years of whining about Obamacare and they've got nothing. The great orange negotiator is such a loser.

[The Polack MSgt]

28. Quite the adventure

[meadowlark5]

12. Now onto bigger and better things

like tax reform that will screw every single American that doesn't make over $250,000 instead of just the poor, disabled and elderly.

That should cheer up dumpy and his pet Paul Ryan.

[NCjack]

16. Thanks to the House DEMs for standing strong. nt

[NCjack]

14. Trump LOSER. So, back to salvaging the Muslim ban. nt

[DFW]

19. Maybe Trump is asking for info on Republican hold-outs' immediate family members?

"Hey, Vladimir? I need a favor..................."

[BumRushDaShow]

20. That may lead to

a Kochs vs Vlad Celebrity Death Match.

[mwooldri]

22. If this means that ACA stays... ok :)

Odd that we have to depend on a bunch of RWNJ's to keep the ACA - only because the repeal isn't a repeal enough.

and they say getting Democrats to vote in line is like herding cats...

[Cryptoad]

23. Medicare for Everybody,,,,, ez pz!

45. my D senator says keep up the pressure-tweets, FB posts, phone calls

He says it's working so pls. do that, thanks

[Chicago1980]

25. The debate is still going on, and I think there will possibly still be a vote.

[Cryptoad]

31. I hope they vote on it

those who vote yes, need to be on record to have voted to taken away health insurance for 24 million Americans!

[lindysalsagal]

34. I can already hear twitter ranting that HD tried, but the gop caved.

This is going to start a twitstorm the likes of which we've never seen, and end any other so-callen work going forward.

46. Freudian slip by Spicer? "There's a huge appetite for tax returns... tax reform

[Glimmer of Hope]

39. Such a blunder.

[Turbineguy]

40. Gosh gee willikers

I bet a lot of Americans who were so looking forward to dying will be disappointed.

[Cryptoad]

42. +1

[DeminPennswoods]

43. Trump doesn't care if the bill fails

Neither Ryan nor McConnell understand - yet - that Trump could give a rat's patootie about them. Trump is in it to enrich himself and his family and cut taxes for himself and his class.

Trump has already set Ryan up as the fall guy with yesterday's comments about regretting doing the repeal first.

These GOP reps are being asked to walk the plank for basically nothing. Despite going for Trump, Penna is still a fairly centrist state. The rw'ers like Kelly and Barletta will vote for it, but the Rs in south central and SE Pennsylvania aren't going to want a vote to take away medicaid from someone's mom or dad in a nursing home or essential benefits like ER care. For them, this is a potential career-ending vote.

[wordpix]

47. CNN reports more moderates leaning NO! Keep those calls/tweets/messages flowing!

[harun]

48. Hope they still vote on it. This bill is a horror show. Need to get on the record the psychopaths

that would vote for such a monster.
