Senate Republicans caved on everything in the budget

[Free Vulcan]

Whenever you think Republicans have finally reached “peak capitulation,” they never fail in raising the scope of their betrayal. The result of the upcoming continuing resolution, likely to receive a vote early next week, is that control over the internet will head to Russia and China while 110,000 refugees from places such as Syria, Iraq, and Somalia will be immigrating here in the upcoming fiscal year.

Earlier this afternoon Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. (F, 42%) released the text of the budget CR to fund the federal government from October 1 through December 9, 2016. The bill did not contain a single policy rider limiting a single harmful policy of this administration. In other words, Obama essentially has control over both the legislative and executive branches of government.  There are no checks and balances. Although, to be fair, it’s hard to call this a capitulation because Republicans never really fought on the issues of the internet giveaway, Iran ransom, and refugees in the first place.

Blast from the past.

Some things never change.

So the Libs get their agenda. The only difference is that Dems enthusiastically support it and the Republicans cave in to support it.

Not my circus, not my clown.

Years of the lesser evil nevertheless brings more evil.

The uniparty is bent on destroying the country. The "parties" put on a good show that they stand for different things but when the chips are down, it is always the same result.

I don't think it can be saved anymore.

Not much has changed in a year. I’m sure Kentuckians are very proud of their turtle.

I'll add that it is pretty apparent that critical mass has been reached regarding people collecting benefits from the government. And with Obamacare that has pushed it well past the edge.

When over half the voters get more from government than they put in, you've reached the point of no return that neither party has the courage to rein in. They'll talk your ear off how they're going to reverse it - but when it actually is set to a vote, it doesn't happen.

Everyone has a plan to reduce the deficit over 10 years, though they always "need" to increase spending this year.

A 10 year plan, with a (in theory at least) annual budget.   Yeah, okay.

Been going on for eons, or at least decades.
