Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others, we are interested solely in power, pure power.

Joe Manchin (D-WV) is one of two lone holdouts on bills like the gun bills and the filibuster. The Biden administration just bribed Manchin by nominating his wife to a high-level post.
President Biden has picked the wife of an extremely influential U.S. senator for a federal commission post, the White House announced Friday.
Biden nominated Gayle Conelly Manchin to co-chair the Appalachian Regional Commission, an economic development partnership with 13 states designed to boost investment in the Appalachian Region.
it will prove lucrative.
Manchin is an educator, past president of West Virginia’s State Board of Education and the former first lady of West Virginia.
At the same time, Al Sharpton is threatening Manchin with labeling him racist if he doesn’t vote to kill the filibuster. Sharpton’s also threatening Krysten Sinema (D-AZ), who says she won’t vote to kill the filibuster.

Hey Al, have you paid your back taxes yet? With friends like Al, blacks don’t need any enemies.
As soon as Gayle Manchin gets the job, Joe and Gayle should change their Party to Republican. When Hillary Clinton declared economic war on West Virginia, the State went Solid Red. Joe Manchin will have serious trouble being reelected as a Democrat because Democrat policy continues to declare economic war on West Virginia. West Virginia is solid Red and heading… Read more »
On second thought, Manchin should vote to end the Filibuster and then become a Republican.
I would love to think you’re right but I don’t think he’s that clever. I’m leaning more this way: Imagine the fate of our Republic resting on the political winds blowing this coward around. Only way to get him to do the right thing is drive his constituents to flood him with phone calls and emails saying they’ll replace him… Read more »
Appalachian? Those poor whitey crackas, why don’t they use the privilege?
No cities there for mommygov (CCP) to occupy?
The consequences of the Big Steal Fundamental Transformation are the end of the representative republic model forever.
Please make a note of it, freedom number is no longer in service, please try again after arising from the ashes.
