Democrats to halt Senate business in health care protest

[Snap]

[quote]Washington (CNN) - Senate Democrats will move to bring the chamber to a halt Monday night to protest the Republicans' closed-door process to gut Obamacare in the coming days, according to a senior Democratic aide.

Democrats plan to object to routine requests to let the chamber operate -- whether it's scheduling votes or allowing committees to meet for extended hearings -- in a move aimed at escalating the fight over health care.

This healthcare shit is criminal. The republicans working on this have got to be some of the worst people in the world. How bad do you have do you have to be to have a job where you are constantly reminded of that you're hurting millions of people but you do it anyway because you want more money.

It for real feels like they're just trying to force through as much of their awful agenda as quickly as possible before Mueller starts clamping down on their asses.

McConnel is behind this. Keep that in mind. This isn't a radical tea party guy, this isn't one of Trumps puppets, this is a career politician who's whole career has been "how do I fuck the poor this time"

Didn't he also go on record to say that the goal of Republicans in Congress was to ensure that Obama's presidency failed?

He went on the record to say his goal was to make Obama a one term president and we all know how that went.

Hate him as much as you want, but I'm proud that a spineless human-turtle hybrid managed to get elected to government.

remember when mcconnel was criticizing the ACA because it was being passed on partisan lines, despite the fact that it was largely a republican form of healthcare reform?

apparently he doesn't.
