29. The problem
Mon Nov 1, 2021, 04:16 PM
Nov 2021

The problem is none of our elected offices are LBJ. He would have had Manchin and Simenon up against the wall...” pointing out the error of their ways”

Where is Schumer? What the hell is he doing about this? If Manchin wants to switch parties, then just do it, find a repub that is feed up with MoscowMitches shit and recruit.

This vote is the the mid term election, and if it fails, then go home and prepare for the most unprecedented onslaught of right wing congress and Senators you have ever seen. There will be no need for the republicans to get rid of the filibuster, because they will have at least 60 seats. Sorry, but I am a realist. Being in my late 60’s, I have seen it all before, but never what the right is doing now, and to think of another Trump, Hailey, McConnell, McCarthy leadership, plus old, retiring Supreme Court justices.....not a good look....As a South Carolina resident, I live with the right wing shit everyday.
