President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Manchin determines whether your judges get confirmed, which is why he has the White House by the balls.

He’s also doing a good job of making Democrats pretty vulnerable in the Senate in 2022. Perhaps the GOP narrowly takes the chamber and he gets a committee chairmanship as a reward.

How Susan Collins was down in the polls by double digits yet still won… Democrats will be thinking about that and the NC seat that got away.

Don Junior at Turning Point on Sunday: “We’ve turned the other cheek and I understand sort of the biblical reference, I understand the mentality but it’s gotten us nothing. OK? It’s gotten us nothing while we’ve ceded ground in every major institution.”

Donald Trump Jr. tells young conservatives: Following the peaceful part of the Bible has 'gotten us nothing'

Seems like a call to far-right violence to me.

 

Wordiness is funny to me (no this has nothing to do with the issue at hand). What becomes more true about Collins tweet by adding the word “personally” to it?

Side question: Did any tab go with the headline “C’MON MANCHIN!” today?

 

If they didn't, I will lose faith in the institution I once worked for.

 

But rich folks who get tax cuts won't?

 

Gotta love the throwaway line, "Despite the USSR collapsing 30 years ago."

"Despite." Uh, yeah, that's what throwbacks often are. A nod to a team or league or organization that doesn't exist anymore.

I don't think this story said the Browns were wearing these vintage uniforms, "Despite the All America Football Conference collapsing 72 years ago."

Maybe the morans who can't earn a liveable wage unless they are working in 19th Century industries need to figure out a better path, and not expect the rest of society to pay an environmentally destructive price for their refusal to support a party that would provide them with job training and societal safety nets while they join the rest of us in the 21st Century?

 

I knew Manchin would say it's about drugs.
