It will be interesting to see how she reacts to this pressure and loss of face/ power.

We shall see how smart she is. Or how crazy.

Obviously some very deep pockets got her attention. She better fucking raise the debt ceiling. Eliot Rosewater Oct 2021 #1

She is a Democrat...a member of our party. Demsrule86 Oct 2021 #64
I'll agree to disagree. Her and Manchin are not Dems they're extorsionists IMHO 634-5789 Oct 2021 #73
How exactly is the possible? Biden has not been president for even a year...and the only thing Demsrule86 Oct 2021 #63
