Repugnant repubs and con-serves like Lisa love anyone who blocks (even if it’s not them) positive steps by the democrats that would help the U.S. It’s the main agenda of the GQP, they have no other platform to offer.
Remember this folks. Only Joe Manchin cares about Inflation and the affect that it has on our lives. Every other Democrat Senator is voting for more spending, which is the root cause of inflation. Vote RED in November and throw these bums out!
Everyone is talking as if we are going to wake up tomorrow morning and have the entire country converted to renewable energy, and a bunch of oil field and coal mine workers standing around with nothing to do. It’s a process. The coal mines and oil fields will have to hire fewer people as we convert to renewable. There will be more jobs in those fields, but the guy who has been in the coal mine for 20 years is probably not going to be a top candidate for those jobs. However, his son or daughter could. Anyway, I would be willing to pay you $100 for every coal miner who can honestly say that his highest hope for his children was that they would make their livings crawling around in a hole in the ground, getting filthy and risking cave ins
There’s an old joke about a man who falls off a cliff but stops his fall by grabbing a passing bush. After beseeching god repeatedly God says to let go. He forsakes Him but hangs on till sunrise. As the sun comes up he looks down and the ground is only two feet away. Where’s Manchin’s trunk?
Well, both parties are pretty awful. That’s the way the game is played and no one gets to the federal level who doesn’t know how to play the game. It simply isn’t possible to win if you don’t cheat, because you put yourself at too much of a disadvantage against the multitude of people who don’t have those silly scruples. So, accept that fact, get past it, and figure out who will be working for you and who will be working against you. All politicians basically work for their own reelection. They may sincerely believe that their being in a position of power helps people they care about, or they may be simply interested in keeping a paying job. The result is the same. The voters need to be informed in order to separate the ones who are interested in helping the middle class from the corporate stooges who can then go get a job with their contributors. If you really want to know who a candidate will be working for, look at a site called “Open Secrets”. There are others, but this is a good one. It will tell you who is financing their campaign. We all have to do the bidding of who ever is supplying the money to pay our bills. So do politicians. If most of their money is coming from individuals, unions, or other organizations representing the Middle Class, that is who they are going to work for. If most of their money is from banks, etc, they are going to work for the 1%. They don’t really have any choice if they want to win the next election. To vote their conscience against the 1% would be political suicide.
We had a three year, $42 million investigation of President Trump, run by Trump hating RINO Mueller backed by a %100 Democrat team. Not only did they not find evidence of collusion or criminality against President Trump but Mueller had to shut down his investigation because they began to see evidence that Hillary and the Democrats were actually the ones who colluded with Russia. Hah, fat lot of good that did, because Durham picked up that ball and ran with it. He uncovered more evidence and is in possession of Hunter’s laptop data. Looking forward to the post November panels on Dem collusion and Biden’s crime family. If Manchin survives November, hope he serves as a Democrat panelist.
