[Nexus2]

effectively dashing chances that Democrats could maneuver around Republican opposition to overhauling the nation’s elections laws. The West Virginia Democrat made the remarks after meeting with a group of Texas House Democrats who left the state to stall a vote on Republican-backed legislation that they say would restrict voting.

to retire filthy rich with dark money.

[BradAllison]

10. Neither he or Krrrryyyyssstian are up until '24

Which makes this more infuriating.

[Mr.Bill]

11. Yep, and at his age he may not

even be planning to run again. Frankly, I wouldn't be if I was in his position.

13. By not allowing this

Sinema doesn't win in 2024.

Correct me if I'm wrong but . . .

She won because non white people were allowed to exercise the right to vote.

Even if she DOES win - the AZ GOP will just overturn the election and appoint the GOP candidate.

I'm saying it now - I won't blink an eye if they do that. This is a self-inflicted wound. I'm going to laugh as I'm jumping on a plane. She did it to herself.

As for Manchin - as a black American, I'm calling it.

Time for US to paint him as against US.

[BradAllison]

14. I gotta wonder what her deal is

She has been silent about the "Cyber Ninjas" and all that shit. She actually seems to be offended if anyone brings it up.
