Joe Manchin had no problem voting for the 7+ Billion Bill for the Military Industrial Complex ! Manchin can’t vote for a bill to help the citizens of this country ? US gave 2.5 Billion to Ukraine but can’t do it for our own citizens ? War is big business and very profitable for a lot of Companies and wealthy investors and gives good kickbacks to politicians who vote their way. Right, Mr. Manchin ?
ReplyA man for the common man!
ReplyManchin knows exactly what he is doing. He’s a wealthy sociopath looking out for himself.
Replymanchin counts on his constituents consistently voting against their own interests. And thats a thing in so called red states.
ReplyLook at Kentucky, the wellfare state. They keep moscow mitch in the Senate where he does anything but changing the status of Kentucky.
Biden’s approval is down because PROGRESSIVES are pissed. Republicans are irrelevant bc they’re partisan hacks who never have nor will tell the truth regarding Biden even as they benefit from overwhelming popular policies.
ReplyManchin & Sinema have done everything to screw Biden over. People WANT THINGS DONE! Stagnation & weakness is what’s driving down his approval. The corporate media isn’t telling the whole truth! Biden’s agenda is very POPULAR! The corporate media isn’t talking about the fact that the agenda is popular but not getting it passed is what’s hurting Biden’s approval with independents who lean Left like myself.
If only Biden has the courage & will to go after Manchin & Sinema the way he animated himself to talk about Jan 6th. Manchin pretty much destroyed his presidency just to enrich himself while his constituents suffer.
ReplyThe reason Biden is in a muck is his own creation– the party OVERWHELMINGLY wants him to fight & GET THINGS DONE. His entire problem can be resolved by actually delivering what he said he would do, especially for younger voters.
Democrats are playing with fire by yet again failing at everything they do – who wants to go vote in the midterms for a weak party that bows to corporate rule?
The media isn’t mentioning that Manchin & Sinema are puppets for the greedy corporations.
ReplyManchin literally owns parts of coal companies. How can the media leave out all of these two’s corruption!?
The bill is popular in AZ & WV —why isn’t anyone talking about how Manchin & Sinema are NOT representing their constituents rather they’re representing their donors.
Green energy is cheaper and it’s creating more jobs than filthy coal jobs that kills its workers.
ReplyThe GOP & even some Dems (Manchin) have been lying to coal miners for decades. The GOP of course never ceases to jump on the opportunity to blame their incompetence & the consequences of their policies on Democrats, using “identity politics.”
The GOP know coal is a dying industry yet they won’t even ensure these workers have a the opportunity to earn a living.
Aren’t coal miners tired of the disengenous peddling of empty promises?
Coal KILLS its workers! Why would they oppose transitioning to a safer job that wont kill them or their kids?
Worst of all they vote for people who dont support retraining programs, public colleges, or low interest Pell Grants.
The worst thing about it is they vote for people that will leave them without the healthcare they desperately need after working in a job that poisons them.
A lot of Democrats aren’t doing well with the messaging on this legistion. It would really help if they would take a cue from Bernie, whose intelligence has always been underscored by his clarity in communication. I can’t help but believe it could only help the Democrats to speak clearly, plainly, and honestly to the press and the media about the benefits of passing this legislation and the dangers of failing to do so.
ReplyManchin holds those “views” simply cuz he’s a corporate lapdog, a lackey for the rich, to do they’re craven bidding. He doesn’t guve 2 f’s about the American people, including his constituents. He only cares about his bank account.
ReplyAs a Australian, I will never forget when Bernie & Trump were interviewed in 2016 and asked what they would be remembered for. Trump said “Victory” and Bernie said “Compassion”.
ReplyWhat is fair about raising tax rates on the wealthy? Why not a simple ten percent rate, no deductions, no loopholes, for all? Most multi billion dollar corporations pay zero or laughably small amounts. The ones a flat ten percent rate would hit the hardest are the super wealthy; while the little guys would pay less. It’s the kind of idea that would put much bureaucracy out of work in favor of money going directly to its proper recipients. TEN PERCENT IS PERFECT.
ReplyNo more cash flight, voter fraud, just move that decimal one place left, done! …
The mouth is the gateway to the body and to health. By including eye care, teeth, hearing aids; the amount of more serious health problems that cost thousands will be avoided. Penny wise, pound foolish is the name of Medicare. Plus hospitals perpetrate fraud with the elderly, in the thousands and thousands of dollars of unnecessary treatments. I was a victim, no joke.
ReplyBernie Sanders is the only politician who fights for affordable health care for the american people, The rest of the politicians,Republicans and Democrats get donor money to block any affordable health care for the people.Joe Manchin and krysten Sinema are raking in millions in donor money to block any help to the american people
ReplyWhether, Bernie or Biden or anyone else, Manchin and Sinema would hold the same views. DNC needs to increase their votes.
ReplyScratching my head how the intelligent people never seem to get to be president.
