Apparently Sen Manchin is demanding all the programs in BBB bill be scored over 10 years

No, objectively. Turn off your tv.

And what are your sources that back up your claim?

Critical thinking, observation, government, political science, sociology and reading the laws.

Yeah—wow—that’s a story.

Also: the liquor store down the street has a big Three Floyd’s display, which makes me think of you for some reason.

Ha!

I met one of the guys (Nick) about 15 years ago.*

Legend has it they named one of their beers Alpha King the next day in honor of that meeting.**

It’s an amazing system that allows one Senator from one of the least populous states, who was elected with 290,000 votes, to do this.

[WuWei]

What an amazing coincidence! Tsk, tsk.

Idiot wouldn’t know what a normal democracy is let alone a republic

I wonder what about his philosophy compels him to be a Demacrat

Or maybe…just maybe it’s how far libs have strayed from being a democrat.

The Democrat Party has transformed rapidly over the past 5 years: CRT, Hating America, Hating white people, LGBTQ, Defund the Police, Open Borders, Green New Deal, Anti Second Amendment, abortion anytime/everywhere/any reason, etc. Much of this new philosophy to one degree or another is part of the new “Democrat” politician/party.

When I joined here in 2004, rightwingers said the exact same thing. None of it is that new—even the ridiculous CRT stuff is just the same recycled white panic.

White panic…too funny considering libs believe end of democracy is near

[DougBH]

Oh noes…Trump questioned an election…end of democracy
Oh noes…a senator from a small state all by himself with 50 other senators blocked a bill from passing…democracy is broken

Sociology is garbage science now.

They want a civil war, but only when they have the fed. They don’t realize they lose either way. See recent Indian farmer revolt where they starved Delhi into reason.

How many children live below the poverty line in West Virginia again?

About a tenth of the number in New York state.

The child poverty rate in West Virginia is about 20%. It’s 18% in New York State. Both awful numbers.

Well sure. We are just caricatures to them.p

You asked for the number of children below poverty. New York has 10 times the number that west Virginia has. You didn’t like that number so now you cite the rate. . not the number. Is that so that you can ignore the additional 630,000 children in New York below poverty and focus on Manchin’s state… for political purposes? Not cool, man… not cool.

He asked for the number. New York has about 700,000

WV has 70,000

Now move the goal posts to suit your politics.

Was just reading where West Virginia was one of the bluest states there were Bill Clinton won by 13 points in 1992. What happened in politics between that time period that set the stage for Trump winning the state by nearly 40 points in 2016.
