@CNN Joe - Please tell us the price you want and we’ll give it to you in exchange for a few key yes votes. The game you’re playing is worse than Ransomware. At least they tell you the price of the ransom they want. Please tell us how much you need to give us our Country back.
Seems that Senator Manchin believes he was elected President instead of Biden. Perhaps He should write the legislation and we can just accept his version. Question is why is Manchin doing the Republicans work for them. West Virginia has become the new nation Capitol.
NEW: Sen. Manchin who is a key swing vote in the split Senate, says he takes issue with adding $400 per month to unemployment benefits in the COVID relief bill, saying he feels people are coming off unemployment now, so increasing it "doesn't make sense." https://t.co/FMVJLO7OhU
Filibuster is as un-democratic as the electoral college. Try explaining why a majority of votes doesn’t win to any country other than The US. They would think the system was rigged, which it is towards the minority.
Sen. Warren says Sen. McConnell has a "veto" over legislation due to the filibuster.
"It's not just minimum wage. It's voter protection, it's environmental crisis issues, it's immigration, it's universal childcare, it's college, it's gun safety."

If the only way Republicans can win is voter suppression then that is their problem. Changing the law to suppress the vote is anti-democratic, which is the point isn’t it.
In key voting rights case, Justice Amy Coney Barrett asks GOP lawyer Michael Carvin “what’s the interest” to Republicans in keeping voting restrictions in Arizona.
Carvin: “Because it puts us at a competitive disadvantage relative to Democrats. Politics is a zero-sum game.”
Time to look at changing the Supreme Court to reflect all the people. Expansion is the only way to achieve this in the short term to override McConnell court packing.
In a critical voting rights case, conservative Supreme Court justices suggested they were ready to uphold two provisions of an Arizona voting law that Democrats argue violate the historic Voting Rights Act https://t.co/wp3YOrOy8M
The Biden administration announced sanctions on Russia and declassified intelligence saying Moscow poisoned the dissident Aleksei Navalny https://t.co/CUHdtSVwzI
Donald Trump could rape someone on 5th Avenue and you would still vote for him so don’t cry me a River over Cuomo. Unless he made sex a job requirement or created a hostile work environment for all women that work for him, drop this charade.
JUST IN: Former Cuomo aide details sexual harassment allegations: He "would go out of the way to touch me on my lower back, arms and legs" https://t.co/CfycmGpsHZ
Every House Republican voted against:
— $1,400 stimulus checks
— Increased unemployment benefits
— State & local government aid
— $3,000+ child tax credits
— Funds to reopen schools
— Funds for vaccine distribution
— Funds for rental assistance
— Small business relief
What kind of country do we live in when we censure people with courage for supporting our constitution because they voted to impeach or convict a con man that sent Militia men to kill the VP and the Speaker of the House.
Louisiana GOP unanimously censures Sen. Cassidy after he voted to convict former Pres. Trump on an article of impeachment for "incitement of insurrection." https://t.co/Wnu6bgg0fM
Senators acquitted Donald Trump. But seven Republicans, along with all 50 Democrats, voted “guilty,” the most bipartisan support for conviction in any of the four impeachments in U.S. history. https://t.co/7SzbsFWjSU
A lot of people raised there hands to Heil Hitler too. And 74 million voted for Trump. Democracy is in its infancy. It takes work to make it work. Weak minded People always gravitate to dictators.
And you wonder why they are not willing to vote to convict Trump when he tried to get them all killed. Do you think his supporters can tell a Democrat from a Republican. They just wanted to burn the Capitol down.
The same Republicans that will support her are the same ones who supported a reality denying bat-shit crazy lunatic President who also supports her since she is just as crazy as he is. Why is this surprising to anyone.

I am sure Republicans will find some reasonable excuse to forgive her obviously misunderstood Death threats like she made them prior to being in office and obviously didn’t mean them literally but figuratively.
