Biden bombs with Manchin

verifying it actually happened nt

A factual story about a meeting between the President and a senior Senator over a major policy disagreement seems significant to me.

on Manchin's daughter.

But maybe that's just me.

get their party in line for votes.

So does ignoring criminal prosecution as long as he's on "our" side.

Like The Hill and Politico, it is as much a purveyor of juicy Washington DC gossip as it is a source of actual news.

When will the madness end!!!

Axios, The Hill, and Politico source a lot of threads on DU.

Media Bias/Fact Check rates Axios:
“Overall, we rate Axios just Left of Center biased based on story selection that slightly favors the left. They are High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and zero failed fact checks.”

Media Bias/Fact Check rates The Hill:
“The Hill covers both sides on the political spectrum and generally sources information properly. All news stories are sourced from either journalists in the field or credible media sources.”

Media Bias/Fact Check rates Politico:
“These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation.”

Just a small selection of their video uploads, all with thumbnails and titles that would make the National Enquirer and other tabloid rags blush with envy:

- "Krystal Ball: In Leaked Audio Biden CAUGHT Admitting He Won't Do Anything as President"

- "Krystal Ball: Bill Gates is LYING TO YOU On Vaccine Patent Protection"

I don't know about anyone else here, but this doesn't exactly scream "respectable" or "unbiased" to me.

they do the rw work for them.
therefore- yeah, rw.

be kicked to the curb and rightfully IMO.

I think we will take a few of those. Then Manchin can fuck off was my point.

I would forgive him for this if he actually makes good on passing voting rights, however way he does it. Hopefully regardless, we could actually gain seats next year.

That sounds quite clever. I would love some maneuver to cut Manchin's power off at the knees.

Don’t consider all options. Roll the fucking dice. Use all options.
Learn a Hakka Chant; gather and do it on the steps of Congress.
WTF, over.

Mods, please move or delete.

You have to alert on it. Then the hosts/jury members form a jury and discuss the post and vote whether or not to lock it. At least that's how it was explained to me earlier this week when I sent DU mail to hosts of LBN.

Please don't shoot the messenger.

Most other alerts are juried, though.

SOPs are found in the “about this forum” tab for any forum.

like this beforehand. It is more prudent to have private, unpublicized meetings with stubborn types.

OTOH,it would be SMART to set up cameras in a meeting room where moderate lawmakers from both parties attend alongside the 15 Nobel economists who can talk to them in great detail why the larger bill is necessary for a successful economy.

Seriously, why not arrange meetings like that? And televise them.

"Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia are not adequately committed to the progressive cause, so liberal activists are beginning their effort to unseat them."

Their action may be remembered in November, 2024.

At the moment he and Sinema are the traffic cops that can decide what legislation can be passed in the Senate, and we're stuck with it until we can flip some Senate seats.

I always read stories like this one with that in mind.

This guy's fifteen minutes should have been up ages ago.

Host consensus is this OP doesn't meet the criteria in the SOP for this forum:
