"Manchin's private plane landed Tuesday in Lexington, Kentucky..."

Some of our "public servants" have private planes while the people they "represent" live in poverty.

I had a spirited torty who was my Best Friend for 15 years. Lost her in January. It's a bummer.

It's really frustrating. We may lose Kelly in 2022 to backlash and election fuckery and Sinema has doomed herself in 2024. So much for a "BLUE" Arizona.

No-FACTO Fox News declares minority leader as De-FACTO leader. That fits.

If nothing else, do people want to see better people on the courts?If the answer is yes, then you need Manchin/Sinema who haven't stood in the way once on anyone Biden has nominated, even very liberal jurists.

Those are all great versions of a great tune; however, IMHO Robben Ford has the definitive version:https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I did not need to remember Count Petofi - tho curiously, I had not forgotten his young henchman, Aristede ;-)

It is the only logical conclusion. Arizonans hate what she's doing. It isn't helping her career. So clearly personal advancement isn't the idea.

"Funded by some rich assholes who want to dominate (financially) the world. Their nationality is likely irrelevant."100%. Switzerland, Cyprus, Estonia, Costa Rica, Malibu, the Hamptons: Doesn't matter as long as the Amex black card swipes and the hired help is ready and waiting.

She's priming herself for a rotating spot on some Fox bobblehead hour as a (former) Democrat. FN gets their sham "both sides" debate, she gets the 'look at me' attention she craves.

McConnell is playing a wise long game here, as usual. I would be fawning all over them right now, as well, because it wouldn't take very many AR/WV Dems to flip to win these seats. I would be saying it daily, "We couldn't keep up the fight against these liberals if it wasn't for Joe and Kyrsten". There will be plenty of time to tear them down to the swing voters in the future, as he has 3 years to plot that, but now is the time to poison their well.

I think she's doing a reverse Ronnie/Donnie; that is, she wants to move from politics to TV, hosting some kind of reality show. She is so performative.
