1. Thumbs up for that vote... though McCain is still a Rethuglian POS.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

31. Agreed. He certainly wasn't doing this for the Dems.

Still, really grateful he did it.

2. Thanks for posting this! That was a dramatic 19 seconds that happened while I

was sleeping!!

[Ms. Toad]

3. Thanks -

I was watching, and I didn't catch that. I hadn't realized he was voting by thumb's up/down - so I was listening and was pretty sure I hadn't heard a vote from him either way.

Nice to see the entire drama.

20. He also said "No." nt

4. A historic moment

[Achilleaze]

5. republican McConnell gets repaid for all his sneaky, underhanded and

conniving republican "values" fascist leadership tricks.

Smug dude gets a reality pie in his smirking, chinless face from the American people, courtesy of the veteran called a "loser" and a "dummy" by none other than the ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino.

9. IMO this was a shot at 45

It was almost two years to the day a certain candidate for POTUS called McCain a loser for being captured, and that experience taught him patience, and while there was validation in saving the country's healthcare from being blown up, imo, the way he did this was a big fu to 45.

28. Revenge bigly served cold.

John McCain's an odd one. So many times I expect him to do the wrong thing, and then he'll do the opposite.

6. I get a

"this media cannot be played" message.

Any other way to access it?

try using Google instead.

29. Bing: World's worse browser

Worse even than Internet Explorer.

7. I said I would believe it when I saw it and I just saw it.

Yippeee! Sometimes you do get pleasantly surprised.

[TeamPooka]

8. That was a great little breakdown of the moment by CNN

[Leith]

24. Yeah, I'm Glad They Did That

When you're looking at a large group, it's hard to know where to look when.

10. the Tortuga face

was stuck in the stunned, i'm being run over by a semi look.

[flibbitygiblets]

12. This. Is. Awesome.

[maui902]

13. I watched the vote and listened carefully to each vote during the roll call

It was notable to me that almost all the Democrats, plus Collins and Murkowski, audibly voted NO, while most the Republicans either voted yes by a thumbs up or said yes almost inaudibly, as if they were not proud to vote yes. It was an obvious distinction during the live vote.

14. check out Chuck Schumer seated when Dems react. n/t

15. The only one who cares to preserve decorum. Trying to be a gentleman.

Chuck knew how McCain would vote.

I smiled when the normally stoic DiFi gave a clap.

Loved the stunned look on McTurtle's face.

[smirkymonkey]

16. Bwahahahah!

The look on McTurtle's face is priceless!

[iluvtennis]

17. Thanks for posting this...love the play-byplay narration.

[zentrum]

18. Fascinating. Look at McC's

...gloating smile before McCain actually comes near.

Then I have the impression that McCain actually kind of opposes McC with his body---a kind of mano-o-mano moment. Wish we had a shot of McCain's eyes at that moment. McC probably knew right then.

19. Whooop there it is!

We need a drop the mic smilie.

21. I like this version the best:

Stone cold!

23. I fear this could be McCains last vote............

Hes returning to Arizona to begin chemo treatment, He doesn't need this bullshit anymore. He is and has always been a hero in my eyes although our politics dramatically differ. I personally think part of his motivation to vote this way was a big FUCK YOU to 45.

[BigmanPigman]

25. A post on a different thread had the English news take on this week's events

and it was amusing. McConnell looked like he swallowed a "gobstopper" when McCain gave a thumbs down vote on the ACA last night and they showed "thunderbolts and lightening, very very frightening" regarding Scaramucci. They said Trump brought Scaramucci in trying to right this ship and I thought they said he was, " trying to write this shit". Ha, Ha! I like it when I hear or read something too fast sometimes.

26. More, must have more...

Blessings, indeed, Reince.

27. Love it

Watched this 100 times, still can't believe it
