Barrasso is tap dancing around Maria’s questions “ what is wrong with your party and why aren’t they farther ahead in the polls?”
Yep!
We need help to learn who we should support!
We need help so we can elect more "Republicans" like Capito or turn-coat Justice or carpet bagger Mooney.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not praising Manchin. But you have to understand the lay of the land before you come in and try to "help"
Inside the state, it's really just a Uni-Party. D and R only matter when it comes to patronage. Party politics in WV operates just like Tammany Hall did in NYC, only here it depends on what county you live in.
Politics, Mountain Politics, is a cesspool here in WV and from all I've read, that is not a *new* thing.
Remember, " Don't buy another vote. I won't pay for a landslide"? That was more than 60 years ago and 'though not as blatant today, little has changed that I can see.
Sinema indicates she may want to change Schumer-Manchin deal
Why the Inflation Reduction Act isn’t a sure thing--There are still three outstanding issues.
Sinema spokesperson Hannah Hurley told Bloomberg that the senator was still reviewing the bill and would wait to see what emerged from the Senate parliamentarian’s review. Manchin, meanwhile, has repeatedly said he’s interested in keeping the carried interest provision in the bill. Previously, increases to corporate and individual tax rates were stripped from the House’s Build Back Better bill because of Sinema’s opposition.
God luck, Pat. We wish you well. Medical technology does some amazing things.
WVa is a case study in pig in a poke. Politician run as friends of the folk and then turn on them. Ohio situation developing. We have Sherrod Brown (D) entrencned in Senate. Worthless Rob Portman (R) mercifully retired but a flock of Rs showed up for the seat. Trump interviewed them all and picked J D Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy. So Vance won primary. But he is running on “Trump endorsed me” which works on half the people but the Dems are clobbering him, and his lack of money. Meanwhile Dems concentrated on a single candidate, Congressman Tim Ryan, who is running as Don Trump. He wants a middle class tax cut. He will stick up for the working people. He claims to be a populist, He runs many good ads. Meanwhile disgruntled Rs in Ohio like John Kasich (and even Gov. DeWine and a lot more) are sitting this out because Vance is Trump’s boy. I hate to see Ohio with 2 Dem Senators. A travesty. I like Vance but I would not doubt that even Mitch is trying to dump him also because Trump takes credit for Vance’s primary win. The polls do not show any R pick-ups in the Senate. Warnock leads Hershell Walker. The Dems may get a filibuster proof Senate and then confirm (more) all sorts of weirdos. Any suggestions?
It’s what I equate with Gingrich’s Contract with America. Here’s what I’ll do.
‘Schedule F’ will mean thousands of employees quit or are sheeite-canned.
So, he’s got teams vetting people who themselves are vetting an envisioned 10,000 like minded future employees of the USA during Trump 2.0. Vetters vetting more vetters. Totally unheard of.
I see 2 or more departments ELIMINATED. Ag & Ed. Several moved out of DC..Interior & a hugely downsized IRS. EPA cut to bare bones.
Whatever details its damn exciting.
One of the shows was some shark ‘expert’, a professor or something, trying to prove that sharks have different “personalities” and the troublemakers that attack people are about 1% or something like that.
Sharks are “wild” and they are predators & that explains the vast majority of their behavior. I don’t think they need to be a certain ‘personality’ type to see something that looks like food to them so they go after it. Do they make mistakes? Yes, they do .... and those are exploratory bites after which the shark leaves. Do some sharks decide no matter what they are eating something or somebody? Yes, they do ... they are predators & the ‘prey drive’ is strong - thrashing around & blood in the water is all it takes.
IMO, lots of ‘nonsense’ & money wasted on shark ‘personalities’ ... Jeff on the Tooth & Claw podcast says about (Wily) Coyotes “coyotes be wiling”. Well, to borrow his thought: “sharks be sharkin’” ... doesn’t take a boatload of other people’s money to figure that out.
not to mention 2 departments most in need of an overhaul—Justice & State.
Bring it on.
And how enthusiastic will the public be when they learn that the bill includes hiring 75,000 more IRS agents?
And the Dem response is more spending. The problem is that there are a significant number of RINOs who support it as well.
Well, hope springs eternal...
But everyone is acting like it’s a done deal.
So now it is our turn, will we have a good recession in 2022-2023 and clear out the deadwood, or will this be just another blip in our continued empire devolution? Only time will tell
I have lots of 2 X 4’s and boxes of nails. Will donate all my time as needed.
Your Vox (3 Reasons) casts serious doubt on it’s passage, and passage this week as virtually impossible.
And what about Leahy ? Is he back ? Ds need every vote.
WV state senate 23-11 Rep. House 78-22 Rep.
Manchin won reelection in 2018 by 19K votes, 49.57% to 46.26%. Manchin didn't even receive 50% of the vote. If he runs in 2024, he must be defeated. I suspect he won't run again.
Has she noticed the disgust Cavuto and Baier have for Pres. Trump? They don’t bother to hide it like Ingraham and Hannity do.
The problem is that there are a significant number of RINOs who support it as well.
All part of the plan to enrich themselves
Great stuff way to go. Spending is so out of wack there is no telling how we will ever get it under control. Those that think just getting back to a balanced budget will help are dreaming. We need to reduce the budget deficit in a big way every year to even have a chance for the dollar.
I pity our kids who will be taxed to death.
