Us right now

[bigtree]

Andrew Wortman @AmoneyResists 3h
@AOC is all of us right now

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

1. K&R

[Walleye]

2. He's got a hold on his little bit of power and will not let go ever

[marble falls]

3. AOR is someone to watch. There'a great leader being developed right now and in front of ...

... our eyes.

[Rebl2]

6. AOC?

[marble falls]

11. Fucking dyslexia. The former bartender representing a NY district in Congress. Her. I support her ..

... not even the first time someone tapped me on the shoulder over this!

Make that, "well educated, reliable, smart former bartender" as opposed to Rep Boebert, who is an uneducated, stupid, larcenous former bartender, or the former SoH, Boehner, another former bartender whose larceny wasn't as cheap and venial as Boebert's. Though he's now working to employ more bud-tenders.

Names and acronyms elude me daily and by the hour.

Course, age related onset of broken brain contributes.

[malaise]

18. THIS

[secondwind]

20. Bingo!!!!!!!!!

[wnylib]

30. As leadership goes,

AOC is a future President, House Speaker, or Senate Majority Leader.

[marble falls]

32. Not a doubt in mind. She is potential incarnate.

[CrackityJones75]

36. I do not think she has a shot at the presidency.

[LittleGirl]

37. Well, a decade from now maybe she does? we'll see. eom

[wnylib]

40. Why not?

Sometime in the future. Not immediate future, but she could get there if she continues to grow in political leadership skills. She's an intelligent, well-educated person with good leadership qualities, courage to stand up to opponents, and the ability to connect with constituents.

4. K&R

[mopinko]

5. i'm praying this talk about cutting the clean power portion is just to gin up some outrage.

i cant believe that jettisoning that entire package is srsly being talked about.
the least they can do is extend the existing credits, maybe goose them.
i did solar on my house this year, and i switched a rental i own to electric heat so i could power it w solar. i got a lot of rebates on my system, but i was hoping for a bit more help on this one.

i'm hoping they're just trying to turn the heat up on manchin, and making it clear exactly what he is objecting to.

[KS Toronado]

7. What's that look on her face say?

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. You're a total a$$hole, maybe?

[calimary]

23. Or maybe "I cannot believe somebody actually saw fit to send this idiot

to the Senate”?

[OrangeJoe]

28. Bobby Byrd spinning in his grave

When people like Bill Maher say Manchin is representing his state he totally ignores the politics of the late Senator Robert Byrd. Faced with a proposed $3 Trillion spending package on programs to alleviate poverty and help close the inequality gap, all financed by taxes on the rich, Senator Byrd would have been all in and made sure West Virginia got more than its fair share of the benefits. Manchin is representing his donors, not his constituents.

[calimary]

29. Yep. They don't make 'em like him anymore.

[OldBaldy1701E]

38. I can go with both. (n/t)

[George II]

8. I think we need context and date of that photograph. Thanks!

[NullTuples]

12. It's rather universal and symbolic. It doesn't - in my opinion - need to be any particular moment.

[FoxNewsSucks]

15. I can't believe anyone could forget the SOTU's given by MF45

where Pelosi and all the women in the Democratic caucus wore white dresses.

Since none of them are applauding, it was obviously one of the moments when MF45 said something stupid or extolled tax cuts, some republicon crap like that.

They all sat quietly, and there's Manchin, clapping like a trained seal along with of the republicons. The specific issue is irrelevant. This picture shows where he stands compared to his "fellow" Democrats.

Her expression does indeed say it for all of us.

[yardwork]

17. Well said.

[calimary]

24. Yep she frowns scornfully - for all of us.

Meanwhile, the drooling dolt in front of her is clapping like a trained seal at Marineland.

[Mr.Bill]

27. Probably the State of the Union address.

That's when all the women in Congress wore white.

[DownriverDem]

9. So

let's hope folks understand what we need to do. Not voting in the Midterms would be a disaster. We need more votes in the House and Senate. How many folks know we actually lost House seats in 2020? We must focus on GOTV for the Midterms. Infighting will gain us nothing.

[lambchopp59]

10. RW congressional fux must be getting fossil fuel funds

Undoubtedly some "gifts" for blocking any clean energy legislation. I was enroute a new gig in Palm Springs through the desert yesterday, lots of idiotic radio to choose from between god stations, country and RWNJ anger stations. One was slamming California's switch to clean energy-- of course with important omissions:
Making the point that charging electric vehicles can come from fossil fuel sources, I'll give them that to an extent. But the pundit totally omitted the households/businesses/buildings nearly everywhere now with solar panels. Some off-grid solar homes are running their cars almost completely from the sun!!!
Dammit it got me so angry the R's are so stuck in this shit that's killing us.
Joe M's no democrat. He's every bit as filthy, stupid and dangerous and I label him an "R".

[Joinfortmill]

13. A look is worth a thousand words

[Fla Dem]

14. Can someone photoshop laser beams from AOC to Manchin

[Autumn]

16. Well that's most of us. As usual the dead enders think nothing needs to be done.

Business as usual, I remember that SOTU so well.

[2 Meow Momma]

25. For real!! nt

[hay rick]

26. Small man on a large stage.

[JoeOtterbein]

31. K n R ! Thanks for posting! nt

[BigmanPigman]

33. If looks could kill.....

[lunatica]

34. I like that shot of her

It’s a good reminder of his actions.

[Uncle Joe]

35. Who is speaking, Mitch McConnell?

Thanks for the thread bigtree.

[Snackshack]

39. The Dems

Need to act and this. They should strip both Manchin and sinema of all committee assignments and any other authority they have and send them out to the So.40. If they switch to the insane clown car trump party that is the gop rt now so be it they already have basically. The GOP has shown a very effective way of stopping everything as the minority party so Dems. just need to follow that and President Biden still has the veto. The GOP would immediately nuke the filibuster so at least that will be out of the way.

Focus hard and heavy on the mid terms. Hire someone like Rick Wilson and the Lincoln Project to start producing blistering ads about the GOPs lack of any resemblance to a mature, thoughtful, pragmatic political party that has Americas best interests in mind especially when they have just killed 740,000 citizens. Time is quickly running out for the Dems to try and salvage something from being the majority. They can no longer wait and hope…they must act.
