Republicans Prepare to Betray Their Voters With Omnibus Monstrosity, and the Details Are Much Worse Than Imagined
2022-12-20
[Red State] Republicans in the US Senate are preparing to betray their voters again. Somehow, against all odds, the surrender caucus has managed to up its game, this time looking to hand Joe Biden his entire agenda for 2023 just days before the GOP officially takes control of the House.

Mitch McConnell and his cohorts are apparently so terrified of fighting back that they are willing to concede the power voters just gave their party. Democrats must be giddy at their luck, having an "opposition" that refuses to actually oppose them.

Now, the details of the coming gut punch have been released, and they are much worse than imagined. Don’t get me wrong, I knew this bill would be terrible, but this is next-level stuff

#5  Reading McCullough's The Path Between the Seas. In it he notes the financial accountability of the isthmus project was so tight initially the paperwork stifled the project.

Come a long way, baby!

#3  RINOs just don't give a damn

All the beltway creatures are privy to the real, suppressed bad news. They know the gravy train is about to leap the tracks and they are grabbing with both hands.

#2  Republicans still afraid they'll get the blame for a government shutdown or RINOs just don't give a damn?

#1  Lame duck sessions need to be outlawed. Votes happen just after Thanksgiving. Congress is not in session through December (unless major emergency) and the new congress takes over the second Tuesday of January. No laws from voting until new session.
