. . . Barely hanging on.

She wants something. What’s it going to cost is the question.
Maybe this is a good time to investigate Hunter’s laptop.
Here’s what happened today:
Biden discussed a topline RANGE between $1.9 trillion - $2.3 trillion
Dems had been hoping to get Manchin/Sinema to agree to something around $2.1 trillion.
Manchin has been firm at $1.5T.
Biden explained that this range comes from his conversations with Manchin and Sinema. They’re not discussing these specific toplines per se, but the White House has been assembling all the different programs they *do* support and this is roughly how much they’d cost.”
In other words, Manchin and Sinema are still in the driver’s seat.
When the meeting was over, Biden sent strong signals that the meeting was a failure by indicating a timeline for “getting this done” no longer matters, which will be interesting news for moderate House Democrats who had already suggested that failure to move by the end of September would be “catastrophic.”
Well, it is now October 1st, and it’s safe to say that House and Senate Dems and all the various warring factions within are in “catastrophic” mode and with no end in sight.
I think it’s safe to declare at this point that the Democrat Civil War is officially underway, and considering it’s ramping up as we head into the 2022 midterms, we are so here for it.
We can hope so!
A lot of the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC are absolutely furious at Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema for standing in the way of the socialist spending bonanza that Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have been trying to peddle. “Fiscal insanity” was what Manchin called it.
Maybe this is a good time to investigate Hunter’s laptop.
It has always been a good time to investigate Hunter’s laptop, since it was purchased and the contents made more or less public.
“I think it’s safe to declare at this point that the Democrat Civil War is officially underway, and considering it’s ramping up as we head into the 2022 midterms, we are so here for it.”
Time to buy popcorn futures.
Sinema is a smart cookie. No political death wish.
In my opinion, Kyrsten could care less what the media says. She will not be primaried or lose in the next election. She doesn’t seem to play games with the leaders of her party either.
I bet many I’s and R’s would vote for her in the next election.
. . . Barely hanging on.
Everything you said is absolute truth!!
And after all the trouble these Assistant Democrats went to to assist.......
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)
They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.
How much less could she care, a little or a lot?
A lot. She is one of the few who is not out there in front of the cameras...at least not that I have seen.
The reality is that these people no matter how angry and frustrated they will in fact be back. They are very dedicated to implementing their destructive agenda. Otherwise, they could have seized the opportunity to push through the so-called “bipartisan infrastructure bill” and trumpeted it with great fanfare, signing ceremonies, etc. as a major accomplishment. It was worth destroying this potential moment to push for the more destructive policies...and they will not stop in this quest, even if they are stalled. They will probably go for a more incremental approach slipping pieces of it into supplementals, stand alone appropriations bills, etc. that don’t alone carry the massive price tag.
Biden sent strong signals that the meeting was a failure by indicating a timeline for “getting this done” no longer matters. “We’re gonna get this done… it doesn’t matter if it takes six minutes, six days, or six weeks,” Biden said. He then blew off a question about unity, with “Come on, man!”
exactly. sinema is all about enricing herself, while making it appear she cares about various things for other people.
