You know you’re in trouble when advocating for voting rights is characterized as “far left”.

And you're part if a "mob" giving it and even more negative connotation.

Meanwhile the March jobs report exceeded expectations and the economy is roaring along.  Big business regardless of their take on voting, or their take on taxes, can reap the benefits.  Hopefully this also means some revenue coming in because Biden sure is spending money.

"At $1.9 trillion, the Biden administration's new fiscal package is expected to deliver a strong boost to growth in the United States in 2021 and provide sizable positive spillovers to trading partners," the IMF said in a report. Other governments and central banks around the world have also pumped trillions into the global economy.

Joe Manchin, Trojan Mule!

This guy needs to have all his duties, committees removed just like Marjorie Taylor Greene. 

After four years of Trump, you would think he would do anything to further Democrats goals. 

Someone mentioned that he was representing his constituents, well his campaign is paid for by the Democrats. His ideology should be for the Democrats and Liberals regardless of his constituents. He is extremely detrimental to Dems currently and if he is not willing to play the game tactics, then bench him! Politics is a team sport. He should be alienated and ostracized! 

If he didn't like the Dems ideas he could have gone republican. Apparently some thing tells him that he knows better than everyone else! 

Who needs mitch McConnell when you have Joe Manchin!

Congress shouldn’t pass voting rights legislation unless it helps Donald Trump supporters trust that their votes will be counted, according to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.VA.).

 

“Our ultimate goal should be to restore bipartisan faith in our voting process by assuring all Americans that their votes will be counted, secured and protected,” Manchin wrote Wednesday in a Washington Post op-ED about his opposition to killing the Senate filibuster.

 

Any questions about Joe Manchin's loyalty? 

The single most important person who questioned and propagated voter fraud was Trump! And he wants to appease them! 

Manchin is a traitor to America and the Democrats!

In other topical news the Brooklyn Center, Minnesota police department just had a train wreck of a press briefing after their seasoned officer shot a young man to death "by accident". The chief of police got a bit irritable when he was called out for calling peaceful protesters rioters to justify use of rubber bullets and tear gas on them. He reassured everyone that only 2 protesters were arrested.  He has no idea how many may have been injured by his choices.

Is that not incredible? Are there any other first world nation where anything like this ever happens? And we put up with it? 

From the black medic in Virginia being pepper sprayed and told he will ride the lightning to this! Wasn't the Minnesota incident, his girlfriend in the car as well? 

This happens because of police unions! There needs to be a thorough investigation of the unions. I believe in unions, but certain unions like the dock cranes and limo drivers for the film industry etc where they usually only allow relatives and friends to work and at extraordinary rates like the Detroit union for auto workers, creating expenses that literally drives their businesses under. I know this because of my father's firm who represented several clients that couldn't use the docks or cater for local films being shot. Sidebar, I did get to meet a few film stars when I visited the set. You should see the food available on the sets. 

Anyway, police unions need to be investigated. If our politicians weren't such cowards all these police murders wouldn't be happening. Have you seen the military equipment they now have and tax payers dollars wasted on this nonsense!

Will Smith pulls film out of Georgia!

This is what needs to happen to every state that wants to suppress votes and gerrymander. 

When big business gets involved, they will capitulate like dogs! 

Let's see how they react when businesses suppress their incomes!

I think this is just to preserve their pensions and benefits. Because, if they are fired?
