Sure, we can totally coexist as a single nation with people who take joy in baby butchery.

Yup...

If we cannot get something like this to pass, God help us.

Literally.

Why did McConnell change his vote to no at the end?

True. But with this, He might be done helping us...and understandably so.

This was exactly as McConnell planned it by rejecting the prior amendment that would have passed, and putting it as a stand alone, subject to filibuster, which he knew would fail.

Need to print the names of the 46 baby killers. And hound each and every one of them.

Why do they need a bill to defund PP? All they have to do is to make sure no one sneaks funding into any bill and it is defunded.

I believe so that he can bring it up at a later time. Reid did this all the time.

So that he could bring it back up in the future.

It was a GOP joke anyway. The GOP was never really interested in stopping the genicidal murder, crime against humanity, and treason by Planned Parenthood. The GOP is as treasonous as the Demonicrats; both parties steal oxygen every time they inhale. Both parties can burn in hell.

Obviously.

As I said, the GOP is dead.

Just like those foetuses they abandoned. (foeti?)

If only we could do with the GOP what Planned Babypartshood did to those innocents.

Remember this following CW-II, which is closer in the mirror than ut appears.

Doing it that way provides no theater, it just works. That’s why they won’t do it that way.

Why didn't mcconnell, in the spirit of his predecessor Hairy Red, use the nuclear option and pass this with a simple majority vote?

Stopping taxpayer funded support for a baby butchering business should be a no-brainer ... unless of course you're concerned with how to control the negro population if PP goes away ....

So it can be brought up again. That is the rule. You saw this a lot with Reid. Anyone in that position would do the same thing.

OK, great theater for now.

What I want to see is the books. Follow the money. Organ selling was an established practice. How big was it? Did it go to general funds, or was it “off the books?” An investigation into this would be dynamite.
