��� THREAD: They Lost the Vote. Then They Cheated.
The GOP didn’t win the Big Beautiful Bill.
They lost; on the floor, on the scoreboard, and in full public view.
Final tally when the clock expired:
217 NAY, 207 YEA
They were finished.
But Speaker Mike Johnson refused to close the vote.
Why? Because they knew they couldn’t win fair.
So they kept the vote open indefinitely, something rarely done unless you’re trying to flip people under pressure.
This was a hostage negotiation.
Lawmakers were pulled into backrooms, phones were whipped out, Trump’s name was dropped like a threat.
And one by one, the “No” votes began flipping.
Republicans bent the rules and dragged this vote out longer than any in House history; just to reverse the outcome after losing.
This is why Americans don’t trust Washington.
Because even when we win the fight, they rig the clock.
Let this be clear:
The House GOP held the vote open until they could flip enough Republicans to recast their votes. That’s not leadership. That’s legislative manipulation.
Two Republicans stood tall:
Thomas Massie and Brian Fitzpatrick refused to cave.
But the rest?
They folded like cheap lawn chairs.
If this bill leads to mass deportations, Medicaid cuts, and gutting of essential services.
Remember:
It wasn’t a fair vote.
It was a stolen one.
@karifora@JoeYoursTruly That’s true, but aren’t content creators also some of the people that play your game the most/longest and can note problems that other players may not notice?
