Republicans slap down Manchin’s voting rights compromise

[BidenPresident]

Republicans pushed back against Joe Manchin’s compromise proposal on a voting rights bill, which the Democratic senator laid out in a memo to colleagues this week. Manchin’s bill would include Republican demands like requiring voter ID and allowing voter purges, but Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell said the proposal was still “an assault on the fundamental idea that states, not the federal government, should decide how to run their own elections”.

If Manchin and Sinema behave, we don't need pachys.
We've got our lovely Miss Kamala to pick up the ball.

DINOs drive me bananas more that RINO's do the pachys, probably.

I am surprised Dems tolerate Manchin. Even the Republicans don't respect Manchin.

Sounds like a plan I would have gone for but I dont like the federal govt controlling what is and should remain a states business.

States should not control voting for federal offices.

[Yakuda]

States should not control voting for federal offices.

Why not?

[BidenPresident]

Why not?

Because you are not voting for a state office.

One more brick in the wall



The dems are doing the Branch Ricky plan


Keep being the Jackie Robinson who never attacks back but walks around the screaming opposing teams first basemen calling him a dirty N word for playing like a true talent


UNTIL

the entire world was screaming out for Jackie to clock that jerk


We are almost there folks

[Yakuda]

Because you are not voting for a state office.

I'm not sure why that matters?

[BidenPresident]

I'm not sure why that matters?

Okay.

[Yakuda]

Okay.

So no good argument. Thanks.

Dems don't tolerate Manchin willingly.

Republicans from a BLOOD RED state vote for him despite the phony [D] after his name, so that's that.
If they didn't vote for him, they'd vote for an official pachy instead.

[BidenPresident]

So no good argument. Thanks.

You gave no argument.
