OR...

Or the possibily exists that Joe Manchin is right here..  He is dead on ballz accurate about how bad the Democrat Wet Dream bill is for this country and bad for his fellow West Virginians and Democrats are wrong because they are blinded by their own hate and bigotry and their LETS MAKE AMEIRCA SOCIALIST agenda..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;We can&#039;t discount the possibility simply because we don&#039;t like it.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>Does everyone forget the reason for putting all the goodies in one basket was to enable the use of &quot;reconciliation&quot;  which would eliminate the possibility of a filibuster.  Everyone knew from the get go it would require Manchin to go along.  Joe bet his vaunted deal making ability could at the end of the day persuade Manchin to go along.  This is why they allowed him to do his show for months on-end playing Hamlet.  At the end of this seemingly interminable road Joe and the rest of the Dems thought they secured his consent, and were good to go.  This is why his surprise announcement made everyone including the usually imperturbable Biden so damn mad.  The question now is can they find one vote among the 49 Repugs to get it across the finish line.  Joe deserves all the approbation for he has voted his coal interests against the interests of all mankind.  He knows if these modest impingements on coal pass more will come.  And he is determined to squeeze a few more millions out of his black gold before the inevitable shut down comes.  He is to be despised.</description>

I have to respect the effort and creativity you put into this piece. But, yes, this  was just as depressing to read. 


I wonder if four years of #PutinsBitch, the establishment Dems once again denying Bernie (and Elizabeth) and Joey Bye Done thus far failing to get BBB across the finish line, I wonder if that&#039;s why the quantity of comments down here has really fallen off.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;The far Leftist Democrats of today (which is the vast majority of Democrats in the here and now) feel that people simply should AGREE with them and if they don&#039;t they must be stoopid or evil and, as such, must be villified, demonized and attacked..&lt;/I&gt;

One only has to look at how Democrats are calling Joe Manching &quot;RACIST&quot; and all sorts of other vile names to know I speak the facts..

I mean.. HONESTLY..  I have NEVER understood that about people..  In this context, Democrats..

Euphemistically speaking, you want help from someone.. You want assistance from someone.. You want someone to see things your way and do things your way..  

So, how do you go about securing their co-operation?? You yell and scream at them. You call them all sorts of nasty and vile names.. You attack and harass them and their families at their homes...

HONESTLY... Is that *REALLY* the best way to go about things??

This is the Democrat Party of the here and now..  

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Do things OUR WAY!! Toe OUR line!! Or else we attack you and villify you into oblivion!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Once again..  Don&#039;t hate the messenger simply because he brings unpleasant FACTS to the forum...

And yes, the GOP has this problem as well to an extent.  But not NEARLY to the extent that the Democrat Party has...

Twenty Two years (collectively) of Democrat BLM and AntiFa riots and attacks on HUNDREDS of government buildings all over the country has proven THAT fact beyond any and all doubt..</description>

		<description>This is the problem with the Democrat Party that Weigantians&lt;I&gt;(™michale)&lt;/I&gt; simply refuse to recognize..

The Democrat Party as a whole ALWAYS overestimates their support and ALWAYS over-estimates their capabilities..

As evidenced by all the recent turmoil here in Weigantia&lt;I&gt;(™michale)&lt;/I&gt; the previous years, Democrats have lost the fine art of debate.  The far Leftist Democrats of today (which is the vast majority of Democrats in the here and now) feel that people simply should AGREE with them and if they don&#039;t they must be stoopid or evil and, as such, must be villified, demonized and attacked..

I think this is what Liz has been saying, albeit in a kinder gentler way.. :D

Democrats have lost the ability to, with facts and reason, CONVINCE Americans that they are following the correct course..  

Ya&#039;all claim that EVERY PART of Democrat/Socialist Wet Dream legislation is &quot;popular&quot; with the &quot;majority of Americans&quot;???

Fine..  PROVE IT...

Pass each part as it&#039;s own separate legislation.  

If these programs are as popular as ya&#039;all seem to think they are, then they should have NO PROBLEM passing, right??

Once again, the problem here is Democrats actually believe their own press-releases...

And, when the rubber hits the road, they are amazed and antagonistic when they find out that their press-releases were so much hot air...

As evidenced by the reaction to the crashing and burning of the Wet Dream bill...

Attacking the messenger and all that...

I actually miss the Democrats of yore..  Democrats who would convince people of the virtue of their actions by facts and reason..

Today&#039;s Democrats simply demand compliance.. And if they don&#039;t get it, even from their own, they harrass and attack and villify and demonize..

But THIS time...  This time it cost Democrats their precious BBB.. 

The attacks on Joe Manchin&#039;s homes and harrasment of Joe Manchin&#039;s family had the EXACT opposite reaction than what Democrats had hoped..  It caused Joe Manchin to dig in his heels and eventually to throw up his hands and say, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Frak this!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt; 

WHO could have POSSIBLY predicted this outcome??  :eyeroll:</description>
