Manchin Infuriates Democrats

Progressive Democrats hate Manchin.

As negotiations between Senator Joe Manchin and President Biden about the Build Back Better Act drag on, Senate Democrats are becoming increasingly skeptical if the West Virginia Democrat will agree to the legislation.

According to reports by The Hill, a Democrat Senator, who spoke anonymously said that negotiations with Manchin weren’t “normal” which was frustrating Biden and the administration.

The Senator stated that Manchin would reveal he was open-minded about –– or liked –– certain proposals in the Bill, without making any progress in signing off on the package.

In the report by The Hill, another anonymous Democrat Senator said he had “no reason” to believe Manchin would agree to Build Back Better or changing Senate rules to circumvent a Republican filibuster on voting rights legislation.

After Manchin revealed he would not be supporting the BBB on Fox News in December, the Democratic Senator disclosed on West Virginia radio’s “Talkline” that he never signed off on a White House statement that claimed Manchin had “reiterated his support” for BBB on a framework level. Saying, instead, that it “was the President’s statement” and not his own.

These remarks seem to have left his colleagues bewildered, as Dick Durbin, Senate Majority Whip, said he didn’t know if Manchin wanted a deal, revealing that he was “still in the dark” about his colleague’s inclinations.

In an impromptu press briefing, Manchin refused to answer questions about BBB as he revealed he wasn’t currently negotiating with President Biden.

Manchin’s actions seem to be leaving Democrats in two minds. Some Senators –– including Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) –– still believe Manchin could change his mind on BBB.

But, others believe it’s time to move on from the Build Back Better Act. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wants to move on, focusing his efforts on changing the filibuster by Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a move that would make it easier for Dems to pass bills without Republican support.

This interview with correspondent Wolf Jackal was conducted today at an undisclosed location, due to the Corona virus or something... 30 APRIL 2020 (AP) JACKAL: “Good afternoon, from all of us at Associated Press, we thank you very much for taking the time from your busy schedule to grant this interview, Mr. Biden.” BIDEN: “My pleasure, Fox, good morning to you.” JACKAL: “That’s Wolf, and it's 2:30 in the afternoon.” BIDEN: “Oh yeah, Wolf, that’s right, morning, afternoon, whatever. You know, wolves are related to dogs – and foxes. They’re called canines – coyotes are too.” JACKAL: “Yes, I know that sir, so are hyenas. Getting to the point, Mr Biden, what have you to say regarding the allegations against you regarding Tara Reade?” BIDEN: “First and foreskin, I mean foremost, this uh, lying Tara woman is really out of line in left field when she said I tried to finger her. I always sniff them first, their hair that is, not their crotches – say do you rem

Assassinations of national leaders and other high-ranking politicians and celebrities are not only history-making events, they are also history-changing ones as well. We can only speculate at what history would have looked like had these public figures had not been murdered, but for better or for worse, history was definitely altered. Here’s a list of the weapons used in some of the more infamous history-altering public and/or political killings (the official versions anyway); the photos are of the actual weapons used: Wogdon .544 dueling pistols - These pistols were used by Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton during their famous duel on July 11, 1804, which resulted in Hamilton's death.   Philadelphia .41 Derringer - Used by John Wilkes Booth to kill Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. Bulldog .44 revolver - Used by Charles Guiteau on President James Garfield on July 2, 1881.   Iver Johnson .32 revolver – Used by Leon Czolgosz on Pr

The Bridge: Suicide Isn't Painless

The theme song to the 1970 movie MASH is called "Suicide is Painless." It isn't, in ways I will try to explain. First of all, let's look at the act itself. Many suicide attempts are horribly botched. I recently asked an emergency medical technician what was the most unusual call he ever dealt with, and his immediate reply was someone who shot himself in the head with a .45 and survived. Rather than getting rid of his worldly problems, the man made them infinitely worse, not only for himself but many others as well. Several years ago, I watched a documentary film called The Bridge (2006) , which was about the people that jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge over the course of a year; 23 of the 24 (known) suicides from the bridge that year (2004) were recorded. Snuff films and/or anything related to them are far from my bag to say the least, but I felt compelled to watch this documentary, as my only brother killed himself by jumping from a bridge elsewhere
