President Obama spent 8 years trying to appease these people who told him they would not help him do anything. Just ask Mitch McConnell.
The problem with Obama is, (have you ever heard of Overton’s window? ) the window of politics has shifted so far right that he was a conservative republican and not a true democrat.. what is called extreme left today used to be just the left..
@Camden Bhoy – that is so not true. A minority of the UK doesn’t like Trump. They are leftists. They behaved just as the leftists in the US behaved. Badly!!
Both were brainwashed by the same people and are still being brainwashed today.
Pls take you cultist propaganda and shove it because you can’t convince anyone who is enlightened.
Dude! The leftists burned property and killed people in the US and leftists in the government and in major tech corporations supported this immoral behavior.
And you, the brainwashed jckas will get triggered and compare the Jan 5th event. 😆 🤣 😂
@gacj2010 lol due to the wall is the most asinine waste money and time. Border wall is a crazy stupid right wing pipe dream. I just can`t get over the dunces you right wing people are. And just go away already.
@Scott Harrison you are badly mistaken , I’m not leftist never voted that way in 30 years. Just because you are deluded doesn’t make it correct ! .. He is hated by everyone except those that mainly have a problem that’s linked to racism you might not like that but that’s the truth . We don’t have the split media like the US in the main they tell truth ( as they know it at the time, everyone wrong now & then ) & believe me it’s not good
@Camden Bhoy – If you think that Trump is a racist, then you are a Leftist or just ignorant.
When I ask a Liberal or a Trump-hating Conservative how Trump is a racist, they resolve with, yeah, you’re right Trump is not actually a racist.
LOL!!
The fact is that Trump is no more of a bigot than you or most people are.
DUDE!! WHITE PEOPLE AREN’T BIGOTS BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE!!! THAT’S RACIST!! HA HA HA HA HA!!
For example. Joe Rogan is not a racist, but they are now saying he’s a racist. Are you starting to see your hypocrisy?
If you use the word racist incorrectly and against people who are not racists but just have opinions you disagree with? YOU ARE A LEFTIST!
You learned something about yourself today.
How come Mitch didn’t do any “bipartisanship” when he installed his three picks? I stand corrected lol
Exactly.
@BradLee Jones
WOW… That a whole lotta batsh!t in a single paragraph! I think you may wanna ease up a tad on the Horse Paste, it’s having serous mental side effects. 😉
@BradLee Jones Okay racist. Keep raving at your imaginary commies and making more of your asinine predictions that made you look so smart in 2020.
@Rider 38 Off topic.
@BradLee Jones “Commies”??
You lose.
Next.
Too bad Jake didn’t press Manchin on his hypocrisy, and ask him how can he give more value to the filibuster than voting rights?!
@Dave Waldon Voting rights …. are important that’s why everyone should have an iD to vote like in Mexico
@edbea2 by bad fam. I misread your comment.
@Moore Or Less No sweat. I got that. 🤔😏
Exactly
Manchin wants to be comfortable while doing “politics”. He acts like he is entitled to his elected position. We need term limits, these guys feel to entitled and think it’s a job for life. Through these career politicians out.
It’s conservatives fault though. Stop acting like you’re standing on the same side as moderates and progressives.
Remember when McConnell asked the D Senators who they should pick after not allowing Obama to appoint a justice 9 months before the Nov.2016 election??? No? Me either.
These two are both for their donors, not the people they represent. They definitely don’t need to be telling Biden who to nominate for judgeship.
What do you think the people of West Virginia think of Joe Manchin?
Right, he has currently the best approval rates ever, you clown…
He didn’t think about a budget when he was giving me a millionaires a break
Ya, look for bipartisan support for Supreme Court, just like Republicans did for the last three Supreme Court Justices.
Childs worked as a lawyer for businesses fighting against workers and workers’ rights. There needs to be movement to be for workers more and corporations less. The division between the rich and everyone else needs to be corrected. Otherwise the anger against government will increase.
Translation: Hey, hey. Let’s not look back at what my regooflican party has done to the Supreme Court. Just make sure YOU don’t do it to us.
When conservative Arizona Senator Barry M. Goldwater ran for president in 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr., expressed his opposition, explaining: “I feel that the prospect of Senator Goldwater being president of the United States so threatens the health, morality, and survival of our nation that I can not in good conscience fail to take a stand against what he represents” (King, 16 July 1964).
That’s exactly how many of us felt when trump ran in 2016.
That RINO has driven us back to the era of Goldwater.
How do these politicians say what they say and do what they do with a straight face? And somehow we fail to hold them accountable?
Slaves. Everyone is a fucking slave

So let me get this straight. When Republicans nominate a member to SCOTUS, they can just ram through in less than a month (Barette), but Democrats need to nominate someone who can be bipartisan and get support from both sides!? The double standard is baffling.
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
They don’t have to, or shouldn’t have to
The stupidity is aggravating. That’s why they will lose the House & Senate this year. FOOLS!
Same old authoritarian 🐎💩.
Democrats refuse to cheat and Republicans refuse not to.
Bottom line is Manchin supports those who give him money, and he taught his daughter well in that regard. Shame.
@Max E
Trump never even took his salary.
@Steel Bill
It’s fact.
Trump didn’t take his salary. Biden does.
@Mary Lamb I never said it wasn’t fact, I said it was nonsense, and I am right, and you are wrong. Maybe if you weren’t a cult member you would know the difference. Trump inherited 400 million dollars from his father, and turned down the pittance (relatively speaking) Presidential salary to fool cultists like you for political points, all the while he forced the U.S. government to pay for his Presidential entourage at his properties for way more than the going rate (and way more value than a Presidential salary) at his Trump properties, which is not only unethical, but violates the emoluments clause. The wealth of the entire Bush dynasty was based on “public service”, so yes, H.W. and G.W. Bush both were extremely wealthy before they became politicians because of the wealth they inherited through the public dole that their entire family dynasty built up in “public service”. Reagan’s wealth was fairly high before his foray into politics, but went up substantially afterwords. Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama all were not very wealthy upon getting into politics, because until that point the we’re just regular folks that didn’t come from a dynasty. To be clear I don’t give any politician a pass, and I don’t even like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, much less Bill Clinton. It was I that criticized Manchin, a Democrat, in this thread, only to have a cultist like you troll me with whataboutisms. I know, this is the behavior I should expect from a hopeless member of a cult; you didn’t disappoint.
@Steel Bill
Lol I never said it wasn’t fact= it was fact.
Your post is taken directly, near copy and past from anti-Trump sites. It’s bullshit. Did you memorize it?
Max is correct. 100%. You are incorrect, 100%
@Steel Bill
Whataboutism- a word created by leftests to use when opposing facts are tossed in their faces.
They had to create something because snowflakes melt so easily when proven wrong.
I wish he had asked them more about voting rights, taking into consideration what Republican administrations are getting up to with gerrymandering and voter suppression. Surely the need to do something about that; the fundamental right to vote, justified removing the filibuster? And then ask Lisa Murkowski about wanting to demand bipartisan support for the new SCOTUS justice, yet she supported Any Coney Barret in a 29 day approval with no bipartisan support.
EXACTLY
A republican talking about bipartisanship concerning new scotus pick……PRICELESS!!!
This clip should be called “Interview with Two Republicans”
An entire segment fawning over the concept of bipartisanship without assessing or asking Manchin any questions about the communities, particularly communities of color & women, most detrimentally impacted by bipartisan outcomes as seen with BBB dying. Shameful.
Manchin needs to get into his massive yacht and GO!
@Don Wayne he’s profiteered enough from being a public servant
How can Manchin talk about standing up for People Rights when he’s helping Republicans continue to stop what this country needs legislation..that will help all Americans
“An exceptional candidate” for SCOTUS is right. That focus is interesting now as sadly that has not always been the case. We have several recent justices who were not even considered qualified by the American Bar Association.
I’m tired of these representatives trying to find “good people on both sides.” I wish they’d support good ideas. People are flawed, ideas can be good or bad.
