The Senate was given a 150+ page bill THREE MINUTES before they signed it. They didn't even read it. They had their orders.
Did the Republicans ever read it, or were they given their orders by TPTB as well?

Either they're playing Good Cop/Bad Cop, or someone else is pulling the puppet strings, because both parties are going in the same direction. The Repubs are just hiding it better.

McConnell rammed the deal through in exchange for a promise by Reid not to go nuclear on the filibuster.

And who really thinks Reid will keep his promise on the filibuster?

Especially when it comes time for the debt ceiling and sequestration “negotiations”?
