I wish there was an honest, impartial one available. Until one crops up we have to read and listen to as many sources as possible, first hand if possible, not through someone’s filter.

And just a note, my husband is 75 and could beat the living crap out of a lot of people.

Even HuffPo had a post on the controversy.

This is one more example of the effects on the fortunes of long term Congress critters. I wonder if his constituents understand his role?

One of the greats. In West Virginia, though, Manchin is in his dukedom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6Uht69h8Is

If one stays calm and centered in hara, the emotional opponent will be thrown to the ground with a dose of great pain. Braggerts are fools. Never claim you are the superior one when it all comes down to dust unless you wish to dusted.

I’m surprised they don’t all have hernias, after all the straining and heavy lifting they have done to transmute statements and events that, on their face, appear to be the truth, into pseud-facts or outright lies, and, in turn, turning lies into supposed “facts.”

Moreover, shading, dissecting and reassembling, yanking inconvenient parts out and putting things back so they sorta look legit, deliberately misinterpreting the truth, has got to be an exhausting enterprise.

Creating and trying to maintain an alternate, counter-factual universe has got to be a huge strain.

After their BS has stunk up the place, who would possibly believe anything they say?

Generalizing aside, any woman who thinks that when push comes to shove, the left will fight for them…”even onto death” is living in fantasy land. Check out the UK cop’s response to actual crimes vs their response to politically incorrect speech.

The irony is literally biblical.

this has been going on a bit at a time since the 80s once the kids of the Liberated got less educated and floundered with kids not knowing what or how to rear them. Not only did people not know what to do, even if they did they were losing basic skills that were prevalent and common – including application of morals (and not having better than situational morals).

now that government has replaced the man of the house…
it shows it will literally fight for its dominant constituency
what you are hearing is the political equivalent of my boyfriends back and ya gonna be in trouble

politicians do NOT pander to men
democrat politicians are feminist dominated
and women side with the power they think fights for them
(and wins more if more than one fights)

(Yes, I know Manchin’s big mouth and the rest of his person are protected by the Bill of Rights, but it’s useful to be reminded how very precious that document is.)

He wanted to beat up Morrissey because he came to West Virginia sometime after the year 2000, and since he wasn’t a West Virginian eighteen years ago, he doesn’t know who West Virginians are. That’s pretty narrow-minded, isn’t it? This is a blatant appeal to prejudice.
