honestly: what can we do about Joe manchin?

Granted, I know we only have a 50 50 hold in the Senate. ! also dislike the idea of us losing the senate, where we know Mitch will sprint to his old chair. However, we cannot pretend that if he kneecaps us again, we can keep the Senate, as there will be people who genuinely think we can keep what little we won back. What can realistically be done to make him get in line?

It took a year, but Gwyneth Paltrow figured out how to exploit the pandemic

Again this proves that if people are rich and vain, nothing, and I do mean nothing will convince them they were wrong.

Romney, you hypocrite aka Biden's Stimulus Bill Is a $1.9 Trillion Clunker

https://www.wsj.com/articles/bidens-stimulus-bill-is-a-1-9-trillion-clunker-11614102899

Normally I would not post anything by a GOP, but this needs to be looked at as Mitt recently has been praised as one of the "good Guys" who got lauded for being a criticizer rump, a job most eighth graders could do, without the benefit of a government salary.

I know there is all this talk of "unity", but the truth is the GOP is NOT changing. They are like someone who got a lung transplant who will keep smoking three packs a day, because they cannot even comprehend how they were wrong. The GOP ideas are wrong, PERIOD. Romney would have been a terrible president, because he would enact the GOP lines, as Kasich would, as McCain would have. Yes, trump exposed the clown face hidden behind disguise, but we cannot forget these ideas are awful. Furthermore, if they want to reconcile, they need to admit that they were WRONG, and they can't. Just like some "funny uncle" that swears that they understood what they did was bad, lo and behold, if you leave the kid with them, something bad will happen, yet again.

Rush Limbaugh, I comem to BURY him, NOT to praise him

Now, there are times I listen to the"conscience" that says we cannot become our enemies. Most of the time, that is indeed right. However, every rule has an exception, especially in exceptional times. There are @ ugly truths here:

ONE: every time a GOP member loses, there are always cries for unity, and kindness. Yes Mitt Romney and John McCain would not do things Trump did, but does that excuse them from being first class white collar crooks of the first order, as well as people that would take away women's rights to not be breeding mares, or hurt LGBT,no, they do not repent of any of that, and a prescient Mitt would surely continue on the same path, with his dying breath. Let's face it, we are very quick to show people the compassion they would never show us, and while that is noble, there are times that it sends a message to those who are supposed to serve WITH, and protect: that we value these peoples friendship more than we ever will yours.

Now we get to Rush. When he was found to have tried to purchase illegal amounts of Oxycodone, he could have relfected, realize that yes, it could happen to HIM, and that if he was anyone but who he was, he would die in jail. NEWP, he carried on, just like he got married again and again. If we extend him cpmpassion, the looking at a good light, it is not merely stupid, it is DANGEROUS, because he will be reamde by folks who want the next version.

Susan Sarandon says Biden is pulling a 'bait and switch' by promising $2,000 stimulus

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9229351/Susan-Sarandon-says-Biden-pulling-bait-switch-reduced-stimulus-checks.html

Susan, I understand that someone as rich as you may not need to do much math, but let me break this down, we got 600, and now we will get the 1400 that trump and the GOP denied us. I understand you are still afraid to admit you were a useful idiot for the GOP, and that when THREE supreme court justices rob women of abortion and rob gays of the right to marry, YOU, yes YOU, will be the one getting the finger pointed at you, justifiably so. You do a threat that dems may not show in 2022, trying to be the king and queen maker. Sorry, while the Biden admin does not to et a bit more agressive, we know what we got with you, nader and Stein, a whole lot of Jack-S**T, and that is exactly what those of us who are actually doing the work to improve this country will give YOU.
