I’ll bet you we got absolutely nothing and just unnecessarily caved again for no reason. I mean, the rats didn’t even have to have their media arm apply any pressure at all. It’s nothing short of astounding just how vacant and craven the Republican leadership is

I'm afraid that this still doesn't really capture it. The GOP doesn't "cave." What happens is what McConnell, et al., want to happen in the first place. The notion that the GOP is actually opposed to Democratic policies is an errant one. And so long as those fools who vote for GOP candidates continue to do so, tell me, why should the GOP ever change? Why?

The idea that the GOP "caves" is a mirage.

They don’t even vote like different panties for show anymore. Is there any opposition to anything?

No, not really. Only things on the fringes. Do a little red meat song-and-dance about extraneous issues like abortion or CRT, to keep the dimwit evangelicals and other rubes fooled, and that's all it takes. Meanwhile, the country is sold out completely to foreign/multinational interests.

I dare say that Mitch McConnell has more real, genuine concern for how Xi and the Chinese are faring than he does the U.S., much less Kentucky, or anybody living there.

It just goes to show that these Senators don’t care about the American people or this Country. Reason: I bet if we look we will find out that they are bought and paid for by the CCP one way or the other!

Everybody wants to primary the GOP traiters but when it comes to the general, they’re all for reelecting them over the Democrat.

It’s time to get serious. Politicians win their primaries 93 percent of the time. Break the cycle. Don’t reelect GOP traiters in the general.

It is just foolish to contemplate with joy the shut down of the government days before the Christmas holidays. To advocate such an occurrence is pure political, ideological stupidity.

Those with panties in an uproar should pay attention to details and quit huffing and puffing.

There is still an opportunity to cease funding the debt increase in February.

The bravado and hell raising is not justified

You’re playing small ball here. Don’t let the GOP lead you by the nose from one event to the next. They’ve wargamed this political season out to its conclusion. You should too.

The object here for patriots is to obstruct the Democrats Marxist agenda 24/7/365. Instead of doing that we will have a joyful Christmas and can celebrate the passage of the Marxist Green New Deal. Isn’t that wonderful?

Democrat Party is full-on Marxism.

GOP is Marxism-Lite.

There are a few patriots left, but not nearly enough to make a difference when the vote is taken.

Both NC Senators Burr(leaving) and tttt tom ttt tillis- Big NC Tobacco revenue providers. Big Tobacco also being big cannabis globally.

Linda Graham to tag on to the two from NC.
Oh, and Rubio for the Cuban sugar/tobacco connex and Senate Intel anti-trumper.
and,

Both LA Senators Kennedy (a surprise) and Cassidy (not)— BIG OIL excise revenues and huge refinery infrastructure “needs” to be amortized to all the rest of us (or some such).
