    Murkowski’s reluctant “yes” vote underlines the fractures within the GOP over the bill’s $3.3 trillion price tag and its sweeping policy changes.

    No, no it does not. What it underlines is the sure and certain collaboration and capitulation of the GOP to whatever the hell trump wants, guaranteed. Any whining and complaining about the harm the bill will do is strictly performative, nothing but the clapping flippers of barking seals that will ultimately do exactly what they’ve been told.

      Shit like this and the willingness of the news media to frame it like that is the reason people describe politics as kayfabe. And why they aren’t exactly wrong to believe that.
