Trumpcare dead!? GOP has lost two more votes! Open Thread

Mitch McConnell has a sad

The Summer 2017 WHTM pledge drive is on! Donate generously to enable our continuing coverage of GOP ratf*ckery! Thanks! 

By David Futrelle

BAM! Two more Republicans have announced they’ll be voting no on moving forward on Trumpcare, for a total of four. So it looks like the bill is DONE.

DISCUSS! Celebrate! No trolls,  Trump fans allowed!

UPDATE: McConnell is now pushing REPEAL ONLY. Seems like a desperate move, but we need to keep calling and protesting!

So I just got beat up by one of the only friends I thought I had left, walked/crawled back home feeling like every bone is broken, and I’m crying the fucking niagara falls outta my eyes but it’s not my body that’s hurting the most.

This is why I live like a fucking hermit.

That’s just… what the heck was that friend thinking. No punching friends unless it’s a sparring match or something!

What the fucking fuck?!

but it’s not my body that’s hurting the most.

I totally get that one. That feeling of utter betrayal hurts like a bastard, especially when you don’t let very many people get close to you.

Fucking idiot got it in his head I was… hitting on his girlfriend or something ? It kinda came out of nowhere, he just started getting angry randomly, long after the perceived slights had happened. And by perceived slights, I mean me calling him out on and/or not having the politeness to laugh at sexist jokes, that is after explaining why I don’t find them funny. An explanation in full detail too, including the parts I used to leave out until recently – that means a certain amount of trust right there.

Then at some point he got angry, I tried to defuse it, his girlfriend tried to defuse it, he jumped me from behind while I was grabbing my things to leave in a misguided attempt to not let things escalate, and I deliberately didn’t react when he slammed me to the ground and proceeded to beat the fuck out of me and now breathing hurts like hell and that can’t even be helped the best way I know how since the bastard smoked a good chunk of my feel-better stuff and that doesn’t really matter anyway since I didn’t get a chance to grab the rest before I had to haul ass from his place.

I’m a bad feminist because I’m an actual misandrist. I expect so much more from men than women before I deem they’ve proven themselves to me and are worthy of my time, attention, and emotional heart-space. And I keep thinking it’s wrong and I should work on myself, yadda yadda. Then this happens.

Desolée, mon ami. 🙁 You’re not a bad feminist; you’re just hurting. We’re here for you. Wish I could share my stuff with you, especially since I’m not using it right now in the off chance I get a pre-employment test. :(((

@John, you aren’t a bad feminist, you aren’t a bad person. There’s no excuse for what he did. Please consider going to the hospital and getting checked out after your fight, if you are able. It’s good to be sure, and just laying in a hospital bed will often have an anxiety-reducing effect. Take care of yourself, my duck! <3

I’m sorry John…hugs from me, paw hugs from my dawgie, and wing hugs from my birb (sun conure). We all hope you feel better soon and I know you will heal in time. May that guy step on 1,000 Legos.

Also, I restored and augmented my Mammotheers Against The Manosphere game if you want to see.

@John, I appreciate the comments you make here. It’s not you at fault, it’s the one who beat you up to the point it hurts to breathe. No one should be beating up people they supposedly “like”, whatever the cause. Second the call to consider going to hospital, definitely take pictures of any bruises, or call the police. No one deserves to be beaten.

@kupo, Those aren’t kittens! They’re cat snakes.

epitome of incomprehensibility

@Sinkable John – That’s awful. Take care of yourself. I’m sorry this guy turned out to be such an asshole.

It might be a good idea to go to the clinic or hospital if you’re still having pains when you breathe.

Also, here are some puppies:

That’s horrible, you don’t deserve to be assaulted for the crime of not tolerating his sexist bullshit. Nthing the other commentators on checking into a hospital. You are not a bad feminist nor a bad person. You are a good man.

Is orange NDP? To be honest I don’t follow politics so I don;t know anything about all the provincial or national parties . I’m going to have to start looking into all that I guess.
