Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker, on Joe Manchin:
“I don’t give up on Joe Manchin. When he was governor and
Secretary of State in West Virginia he initiated many of the initial ideas that
are in the HR 1, S.1, the For the People Act. I read his op-ed and you read a
part of it, I think he left the door open. I think it’s ajar. I’m not giving
up. I do know that he has certain concerns about the legislation that we may be
able to come to terms on.”
No one is saying he doesn’t have good ideas, but when you say
you wanna work with people like Mitch McConnell, who has vowed to do nothing to help Biden and the Democrats, then you cannot work with them.
Sorry, Nancy, Joe Manchin is no
Democrat; he’s looking out only for himself.

We all know that if anyone had tried an insurrection at the Kremlin they'd be dead 5 minutes later; no trial, no nothing. Putrid is NOT a stupid man; you don't get to where he is today by being stupid, and he can see the advantages of what-aboutism. You smite speedily and you smite hard. I'm just surprised Navalny is still alive.
ReplyDeleteWhen Kinzinger says Trump's minions are "being abused for their raw noble patriotism," that's pretty darn charitable, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAs for Putin, that's just ridiculous. If people stormed the Kremlin they'd be shot on the spot, and he knows it.
Yes, "accountability culture" is a better term!
ReplyDeleteIt's only the bigots, racists and homophobes who call it 'cancel culture'. Accountability, as you say, is what they fear.
ReplyDeleteFunny that's always the Repugs or people on the right who complain about 'cancel culture'... while 'canceling' everything they don't like.
And Vlad is a master deflector. He's not comfortable with Uncle Joe. And he shouldn't be. He doesn't have Cheeto kissing his ass anymore...
Kinzinger is fighting a good battle. I don't think he will win it.
XOO
@Helen
ReplyDeleteMost countries arrest and try their insurrectionists, Putin murders his.
@Steve
i like Kinzinger, and not JUST because he's adorable, but he could speak tougher. He should channel Liz Cheney.
@Debra
You're free to say what you want, and I'm free to hold you accountable for it; and vice versa!
@Six
The GOP whines about "cancel culture" while they live inside of it.
I agree Kinzinger won't win his battle, until, and unless, Thing 45 is indicted and goes to prison. Then the GOP MIGHT change.
(Barack Obama)
ReplyDeleteMiss him lots!
xoxo :-)
Nice to end with Barack Obama. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteBoy....a lot of hot air this week.
ReplyDeleteAdam needs to be a fully fledged Democrat,
ReplyDeleteLike Loser #45, Putin is talking to his base, and only his base.
We might soon get the chance to see Mitch flip out because he's in a shit storm of his own making.
Ron Johnson needs to go back to his asylum.
@TDM
ReplyDeleteLike Pete, Obama is common sense.
@Mitchell
My favorite president.
@Maddie
That's why I slid Obama in there!
@Dave
To be fair, Kinzinger did support a lot of Thing 45's agenda so he is no Blue.
Our whole Political System has become either Lunatic Fringe or Impotent... I'm getting weary of it all.
ReplyDelete@Bohemian
ReplyDeleteI need the Impotent Dems to step up and quit trying to be nice, or I will vote them all out and put new Blues in.
