    It’s 100% evident that the Republicans changed their support for a bill that did not change. Then they lied to their ignorant fan base about it. This was 100% retribution for Manchins support of Biden.

    Republican Party is organized crime.

    Most of my posts earlier in this thread were misinformed because my biases and assumptions about politicians and how they act.
    Somewhat fascinating that the TH Right Wing has stayed away from this thread. Wish they would join the discussion. I’d be interested in their defense of the vote.

    See post #15 for the answer. It's a BS thread, you want serious participation start a thread with a serious title unlike the TH left we are too smart to take the bait.

    You add nothing because you’ve got nothing. I don’t blame you because this action by republicans is indefensible.

    Since thread titles get you caught up in your feelings maybe just start a thread with your talking points. Then the rest of us will engage on your "turf." Does that sound about right? Or just maybe, just maybe...there really isn't a defense for this utter bull pulled by the Republicans.

    Lawyer used a computer program to compare the two bills letter by letter.

    Cliff notes: only changes were line numbers, a deleted sentence that caused the bill to have a procedural problem, and that’s it. No adds. No trickery.

    NSFW response by Stewart. I don't think he's a Cruz fan.

    "Mr President, passage would not have been delayed if Senator Schumer had kept his promises."


    So many weak lies by Cruz, et al, to hide this petty action.

    Both sides are self serving narcissists. Anyone willing to be open minded knows that.

    That being said, Pubs need to do the right thing here if this is indeed about retribution. Its disgusting and is exactly why I bailed on any particular party.

    #Irony

    Have you ever called out a liberal position or poster on this board for a single thing?

    The very thing you call out certain conservatives for is what you do every day here.

    Im sure you are very nice person and just have strong positions, but you've got no room to talk in the partisan game that gets played here.
