Moderate Democrats all but extinct

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 10/20/2021 2:22:01 AM

The Wall Street Journal wrote Tuesday that President Biden was making another attempt to salvage his stalled legislative agenda by meeting separately with progressive and moderate Democrats.The next sentence was more telling: The moderates were Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). The progressives were too numerous to mention.If you get the impression there are only two senators holding back the great flood of government waste known variously as “Build Back Better and the “human-infrastructure” package, you’ve got the whole story — as told by the Washington press corps.

A moderate is a person without principles who goes in the direction that doesn't require standing for anything. Middle of the Road = Road Kill

The GOP makes up for them by having almost all moderates and very few real Conservatives.

This is said about Muslims but could also be applied to demonrats… A radical Muslim will chop off your head. A moderate Muslim will hold you down while he does it.

You mean Democrats who run as moderates in their communities. Once they get to Washington they have always been Pelosi/Schumer lap dogs.

Biden managed to memorize the 4-word script; ''What will it take?'' Then he dropped the mic and left the stage. I hope Sinema and Manchin keep their stones on this issue.

Why? Because the end result of following your feelings and always searching for safety and security is bowing to totalitarianism. There are freedom loving people and there are safety at all costs people. We are two nations.

The reason there are so few is they keep voting as Nancy says & pay for it in the next election. They keep forgetting that has happen so often in the past. Instead what they should ask each other is this. If Nancy was in a swing CD & supporting what she wants you to support would cost her the seat would she?🤔 Everyone with any sense knows the answer. So stop being a stupid moderate.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the Justice Department’s mission and policies. Prior to the 2020 election, Zuckerburg dumped over $400 million to hijack the elections nationwide. Arizona received nearly $3 million Zuckerbucks to run their election and Georgia received nearly $5.6 million Zuckerbucks. Garland defends the 2020 election and even threatens states who think about auditing their elections but he is “not aware” of the serious election integrity concerns?

The House voted 229-202 on Thursday to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena to testify before the select committee probing the January 6 Capitol attack. Nine Republicans joined all 220 Democrats in the lower chamber to pass the measure, which was brought to the floor after the 1/6 commission and House Rules Committee voted earlier this week to bring the matter to the full body. Along with GOP panel members Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the seven other Republicans who voted for the measure are

As I begin this article, I find myself in the unique position of not only being repulsed by the Merrick Garland topic I’m about to write about but also by Biden’s Attorney General live — he is spewing his faux dramatic crap on the TV right next to me as I write. Bottom line: Merrick Garland has to look up at sleazy.Garland is testifying at a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday — again, as I write — dedicated to the oversight of the Justice Department at a time when the agency is in the middle of several high-profile cases and controversies, which is somewhat unique in the following respect:

Haulage companies are offering six-figure salaries and $15,000 sign-on bonuses while struggling to attract 80,000 new drivers who are needed to relieve the nation’s supply crisis.But industry experts said more drivers won’t alleviate the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach backlog, where an empty shipping container fiasco is preventing trucks from moving product to consumers.Facing an exodus of 600,000 retiring truckers by 2028, the transportation industry is desperate to recruit more people and estimates that 80,000 new hires are needed this year to offset attrition and clear a backed-up supply chain.

During a rambling speech in Scranton on Wednesday, Joe Biden accidentally said he was Vice President for 36 years. Not 8 years, but 36 years.“I’d ride every day, I commuted every day for 36 years as Vice President,” Biden said without noticing his error. Watch: (Tweet/Video) During the same speech, Biden also told a debunked story about an Amtrak worker, which he has repeated 4 different times during his presidency. Biden says the conversation took place “7 years into” his vice presidency, which would be 2015.The Amtrak worker retired in 1993 and passed away in 2014.Watch:

Some of them do admit that — when they’re cornered. I’m thinking of Dan Crenshaw being confronted by an election truther at a fundraiser in August and telling the guy that he was kidding himself if he believed there was such widespread fraud that it flipped the result in multiple states. There’s a cohort of hardcore populists within the House GOP whose loyalty to Trump is such that they’ll eagerly parrot any conspiracy theory he likes but most GOP reps who are asked about this tend to mumble something noncommittal about “election integrity” and “unanswered questions” before changing the subject.

Because we write a lot about Critical Race Theory, on who supports it and who is against is as well as the dangers of implementing it in public school classrooms, we sometimes get questions along the lines of “what is the best way to explain CRT in a short, sweet, and simple way that would make sense to people who don’t understand the argument in order to help them be more aware of what’s going on?”Opinions, of course, vary on the best way to go about it.

LOS ANGELES - Southern California's Los Angeles and Long Beach ports handle the most ocean cargo of any ports in the United States, but are some of the least efficient in the world, according to a ranking by the World Bank and IHS Markit.
