"“I think if we get another half a dozen amendments today at some point our folks will have sufficiently scratched the itch when it comes to getting amendment votes,” said Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican."

Thune is trash.

I hate most Republicans.

I hate all Democrats.

Please Lord, give me a new party.

Only a useful idiot would continue to vote for someone who constantly stabs them in the back.

Don’t vote for RINOs.

“Combating China’s competitiveness”...
ROFL! You mean by shipping the rest of our industry and jobs over there, and offshoring all of the STEM jobs to the dots? Yeah. That’ll show ‘em!

So it’s not really about stopping bad legislation and protecting America, it’s about talking points for the next campaign.

Senate Republicans appear to be backing down...

It's what they do best.

Those who place their hopes in political machines should be dragged by their hair out of Little Caesars.

GOP backing down - the usual way they do it is butt facing the Dems in case any Dem needs some action.

Of course they are backing down. The GOP will spout a few comments, nod their heads, then vote as they are told to by their masters.

They GOP's history of doing this is exactly the reason Donald J. Trump won in 2016, and why he still has support among the base. He just learned too late not to pay attention to the leadership in the GOP.

Once again, the Republicans prove themselves valueless and remain faithful to their motto, “Vote for us we are just as good as the Democrats”. That is why I changed my registration to the Constitution Party. At least from their website I see they support the principles I took an unlimited oath to defend when I became a Navy officer.

The GOP ahs just one rule when dealing with communists:
“Smile, then bend over & spread’em...”

I guess the checks from China to the gutless GOP have cleared.
