I think he meant the whole bill was all for show… which, again, I don't buy: I think Repubs were trying like hell to pass the bill (because they really wanted those tax cuts!).

Not sure… maybe he'd just threaten to hold such a vote, then pull it at the last minute (?).

[ abruptly stops crying ]
Yes, please.

Ah, yes… those cut-throat puppet divas.

Why the hell did he do that — did he hate cherries that much?

On MSNBC, O'Donnell had a take on this with which I didn't agree (i.e. that the whole thing was just a dog & pony show, one always doomed to failure)… but one thing he said did intrigue me:

So would you say Trumpcare is a political third rail…?

Always felt bad for that bug-eyed lady who pukes to death.

No, that was in the first film!
"Gone with the Schwinn", remember…?

"Chow-dare!"

Interesting…

One of the dwarfs — "Sassy" — will, yes.

[ sobs ]
… they're not even 2 of the good dwarfs!

You sold out, frog!

I kinda think there were probably multiple assholes involved.

But the pettiness is real, right?

You and your damned haikus!

He's more puppet than man!

But he's half Joe Camel and a third Fonzarelli!

How the hell are you supposed to test fireworks if you don't whack 'em with a hammer?
