I was wondering what your update is on what’s going on in the House and your prediction of what will ultimately happen?
Inquiring minds are eager to know!
My friend’s assessment:
“This week will be telling. The infrastructure bill has a self-imposed deadline of October 31. That bill must get done before Manchin will sign off on any reconciliation bill. Infrastructure has a $1 billion provision for the Appalachian regional commission, where Manchin’s wife is cochair. That’s the connection. If I had to guess I’d say there’s a 40% chance things get put together this week. So the short answer is no infrastructure = no reconciliation!”
So there you have it… from an expert.
Now we wait, watch, and see what happens.
My thought is now, “What do the Rs have on Manchin and is it strong enough to keep him from caving? Yes. I think Manchin is dirty and the Ds have had him between Jerry Nadler’s thighs for a long time. So, does he stay there or kiss Mitch’s Kazotski? Neither place is ideal. The lesser of two evils as far as Joe is concerned. But Joey M is a rat. He is now cornered so he has to fight or die. You can feel him squirming all the way down here in Florida.
The once Very illegal maneuver of NEPOTISM in government now exists even down to the local school board, principals, superintendants who are married to other members, which help them to become multi-millionaires by controlling books, how lunches are funded and implemented, hours of school class time, bus drivers, choosing a religion to focus on during holidays, how many minutes a teacher can teach, which subject will be included and which will be eliminated, where the American Flag is placed… or NOT.
Manchins’ wife is employed by the government. This is a huge issue that must be dealt with. It is no wonder we are in the DITCH with all of the lawbreaking at every level due to NEPOTISM, including the current situation with HUNTER BIDEN!
Since when does a crackhead pedophile get a Welcome into the actions of his “president” father in relation to dealihgs with other countries? Both would have been shot at sunrise in George Washington’s day.
Congressional Bills should deal with ONE SUBJECT- ONE ISSUE at a time. Bills that no one reads before voting on, and covering everything from A-Z requiring thousands of pages to describe, have caused us to lose control of our entire nation of laws.
TERM LIMITS are an absolute must. Not measured in years, but in terms, one term or two terms. END OF STORY. Criminals are setting up Cabals in their first few months of office! Better means of checking and showing Voters of each candidate’s history of behavior are in order. Example: Illegallly married to one’s own biological brother? NOT QUALIFIED TO RUN FOR OFFICE.
PELOSI has taken over everyone’s life, starting with all of Congress. Is there ONE LAW left in place that puts any controls over her? WHO has the power to use that law to slow down, stop, fine, or even remove that person for BREAKING THE LAW WHILE IN OFFICE? These stop guards should be in place so WE THE PEOPLE do not have to wait YEARS to get a CRIMINAL out of our government. This alone will make our elected remain fully qualified and very well behaved during their time in office. Once a month, all levels of government should have to read aloud their JOB DESCRIPTION AND THIER OATH OF OFFICE. Employees often FORGET t;hat they have LIMITS and are not in office to become WEALTHY.
Should a Bill titled Infrastructure, actually include real Infrastructure? Why would it include everything Nancy Pelosi can think of to take total control of, all in the same paragraphs? Congress should be renamed the Insanity Chamber until ALL liars, cheats, nepotists, lawbreakers on any level from minor to major, and those of questionable integrity and behavior are REMOVED without pay and without retirements.
Any Law that is going to be REMOVED, CHANGED, DOWNSIZED, etc.. must be posted using all words needed, so that every citizen has a chance to see it, read it, and follow the process as to WHO AND WHY THIS IS ON THE DOCKET. This is important on ALL governmental levels, especially LOCAL LEVELS where Corruption often BEGINS is UGLY and RAPID GROWTH.
Just my opinion as a good place to start to CLEAN UP ALL THE JUNK THAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO GOVERNMENTAL PROCESSES, by the elected who have no right to ADD or SUBTRACT from the process.
I am now stepping down from my Soapbox and will try to ignore ‘government’ for the rest of the day. This week has been especially exhausting, just keeping up with the Basic Corruption News.
