Manchin and McConnell agree voters backed GOP in elections due to inflation, Biden spending

WASHINGTON — Centrist Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell found themselves on the same page Wednesday, saying Republican wins in Tuesday’s elections show voters are concerned about inflation — and Democrats need to be wary of President Biden’s massive spending plan.

Manchin (D-WV) is a pivotal swing vote in Biden’s push for a $1.75 trillion social and environmental spending package, and he alone could kill the bill in the evenly divided Senate.

“When you look at southwestern Virginia and you saw the returns from southwest, that’s my entire state — so these are people I talk to all the time. And I knew what they were concerned about. They’re concerned about inflation, high costs making it more difficult for them,” Manchin told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Just about the only friend McConnell has other than Mitt Romney after last night. I’m sure he’s busy trying to dismantle any wins we made as we speak. Maybe offer a give for New Jersey if Republicans vote to pass those Cloward-Piven spending bills which would die if Mitch would do his job.

The bottom line is....there is not enough wind and solar to serve the world population and there never will be. Fossil fuel is a necessity. Shutting down any source is stupid.

And against BLM and AntiFa and define the police and Democrats anti-American attitudes and totalitarian rule through pandemic oppression.

But yeah McConnell - you just keep blaming the budget.

This article looks right past Merrick Garland and his calling American parents who are concerned about the nonsense being shoved at their kids in schools domestic terrorists.

If the Republicans retake Congress in the 2022 election (which now looks almost certain), the democrats are going to go scorched Earth during the lame duck session, between the election in November and when the new Congress is sworn in in January. They will pass everything on the socialist wish list on a party line vote and Biden (or whoever is signing for Biden) will sign whatever they pass into law. The next Congress will not be able to undo anything without enough votes in both the House and Senate to overriding Biden’s (or Harris’) veto.

My bet is that Biden will also resign (or be resigned) during the lame duck session, so that the still democrat controlled Senate can confirm whatever far left-wing VP replacement they pick for Harris. Then we will have President “Mala the Misfit” Harris and Vice President [fill in the name of a suitable far left wing, homosexual, transgender Asian/Hispanic/Indian/Eskimo]

Manchin is up for re-election in 2024. He will be told in no uncertain terms that he will either go along with whatever the far left socialists want or Soros and his friends will invest whatever it takes to replace him in the 2024 democrat primary.

Actually what didn’t happen was the difference. There were no early morning voting dumps adding 500,000 votes to the Democrat’s total.

The Republicans decided to get serious on cheating for this election. Biden beat both Hillary and Obama (they both close to the same total) by 500,000 votes. This just happens to be the extremely close to the early morning dumps.

Trump and his agenda won the state too. However, McConnell supported the steal. And if you’re wondering, Trump got over 300,000 more votes than Youngkin.

Yeah, it had nothing to do with CRT and girls being raped in a bathroom because boys with skirts are allowed in them. Also had nothing to do with the cover up. Nothing to do with Jan 6th protesters still being locked up in the gulag.

Nope, it was all about money as far as they’re concerned because they have money on the brain, as in how to take more.

I have posted repeatedly that this democrat slaughter was entirely at the feet of A.G. Garland and his DOJ swarms.
