[Who]

see how easy it is to get good legislation passed when you write the bill the way it should be written and pay for it the way it should be funded? It got 88 votes? Just a couple of days right after it was voted down because of how the money was going to be spent.

it had nothing to do with those bad republicans not wanting to help veterans. But yall knew that.

Let that be a lesson to you democrats if you want to get stuff done.

Yea Jon Stewart had no effect on these events

get the fuck out. he had zero effect. every one of those senators knew when they held the "trial" vote last week what it would take to get the bill passed. even schumer voted against it and he's the fucking senate majority leader.

Keep living in your dream world

You are nothing if not consistent. Every single day you prove that pretty much everything discussed in this forum is above your level of understanding.

But, by golly, John Stewart convinced 40 republican senators to switch their votes in 3 days. Just because he did some twitters.

Interesting how you folks live in a dream world then slap each other on the back.

Insulting and laughing, insulting and laughing.

I haven’t been able to find anything about Schumer voting against the bill. Source of your information would be helpful cupcake

This bill is identical to the bill 25 R’s voted against last week. 11 R’s voted against this identical bill.

Looks like Schumer voted yes both times.

Wrong. It includes three amendments that control unrelated spending

^THIS was the ENTIRE WHOLE POINT of why those Republicans voted no last week. And it is the ENTIRE POINT of why 88 of them voted for the bill yesterday.

I highlighted Ted Cruz's vote just so you could compare.

Damn. Who is having a really rough stretch here lately.

[Burn1dwn]

This bill is identical to the bill 25 R’s voted against last week. 11 R’s voted against this identical bill.

Looks like Schumer voted yes both times.

Wrong. It includes three amendments that control unrelated spending

Issue over. What’s next to be outraged about?

Wrong.

They voted on 3 amendments and they all failed. Toomey wanted a 50 vote threshold and his amendment only got 47 votes of the 60 required.

Schumer did not want to take the votes on the Amendments last week. Probably because they had no chance at passing and were a waste of time for political theater. That is why all those Repubs changed their minds and voted no last week. Then voted yes yesterday anyways without the Amendments.

The GOP had to vote for it after all the backlash they took. And it wouldn't look very good denying veterans healthcare leading up to the midterms, now would it?

[Charliesheen]

No, it wouldn’t.

We need the press to honestly report on these shenanigans. That would give the few honest politicians the right kind of cover to safely navigate Schumer and McConnel’s political turds.

they had to vote for it after they exhausted every effort to improve the language in how it was funded. They were never against the bill itself or what it stood for. they were against the "gimmick" (as they called it) for how the money was appropriated.

Imagine if some upstart reporter, maybe a grandson of a CBS exec, got permission to do a weekly segment like, “Earmark Corners.”

Pretends to be an Andy Rooney sort of curmudgeon, spelling out this bullshit. Naming names. Detailing the back room deals that produce the fucked up thousand page bills. Make it funny, entertaining. With cheerleaders dressed in Blue and Red skintight shirts and high-heel boots.

That could bring us real, “Change.”

GOP is trying to hide their Trump love. Dont tell me these are the fringe Repubs. These are the GOP. Qanon, "Trigger the Libs" "Got no policies" "Bible above all" GOPs are running the party. Trump is playing King maker. He is Trumps man.

Like I keep saying, Nov and more so 2024 is going to be very interesting. GOP is trying to shed Trump but he wont go away. Even if you choose DeSatan in the primaries, Trump wont let that happen. He will start his own party and split the vote demolishing the GOP Party.

Good thing the GOP is self-destructing. Because the Left doesn't have the balls to take them down.

Wanna talk about self-destructing? How much more self-destructive can you get by aborting your children and cutting off/out your reproductive organs??
