Amen. Manchin is out there right now blaming Biden for death threats, etc. My only good memory of Manchin is how he was harshly rejected when Biden dropped out. He thought Americans would want him to be the nominee. 🤣🤣🤣 What an ego! He should sail away on his river yacht forever.

Not just annoying-toxic. Joe Manchin’s sucking up to MAGA for whatever he can get saying Biden was at the root of death threats, etc., to him. He’s disgusting. Just looking for someone new to betray when their back is turned. In other words, the American people. He deserves no praise.

Joe Manchin was annoying but he was also a Dem senator from a deep red state and usually had actual policies he was in favor of. Sinema literally just wanted to be special and would change her positions constantly to be contrarian. She made me yearn for the days of Joe Lieberman. Fuck her.

I hope Jack Smith testifies publicly before congress (or what remains of it.) Most of us have listened to someone speak and we instantly knew that person was honest. And intelligent. We all need someone intelligent right now with all the inexplicably dumb stuff happening around us.

And he doesn’t want the government to reopen at all. Does he want to demolish and take over the govt without ever ending the shutdown?

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Mike Johnson has just handed everything over to the king. They do not want to open the House-they can destroy the government like this and overtake the country.

For what?

adviceconsent.bsky.social @adviceconsent.bsky.social · 1d

My question too! 😣

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

The Agriculture Department says it can't use contingency funds to pay for food stamps during the government shutdown — and that states won't be reimbursed if they cover the expenses on their own, according to a new memo exclusively obtained by Axios.

Exclusive: USDA says it won't use emergency funds for food stamps

States also won't be reimbursed if they cover SNAP expenses on their own, memo says.

Did you know that Texas is actually Democrat but is gerrymandered for Republican control?

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.
