Saw elsewhere that Ryan has announced they’re meeting again to try to get together on a bill they can pass. Looks like somebody reminded them of that George Washington revolutionary war quote “Gentlemen, either we hang together or else we’ll hang individually”.

Bet whatever they come up with relies a lot more on the reconciliation process now that we know it actually could have been used ...

Just for historical accuracy, it was Ben Franklin’s quote:

“We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” -In the Continental Congress just before signing the Declaration of Independence, 1776.

A little gallows humor by Ben before they rebelled against the Crown.
