@AnnAnne700 @Sludge @BruceAl97473014 @frankthorp @AriNatter @CNN @MSNBC @Sen_JoeManchin reneged on his agreement to support $3.5T in spending for the wildly popular #BuildBackBetterAct not for ideological reasons but because he & his family make vast amounts of wealth from the giant corporate tax cheats who will pay for it. And the #MSM is complicit.
@AnnAnne700 @Sludge @BruceAl97473014 @frankthorp @AriNatter @CNN @MSNBC @Sen_JoeManchin @JoeManchinWV's word is worthless. He agreed to spend $3.5T to #BuildBackBetter for the American people to get @SenateDems to pass his corporate trickle down BIB. Once it passed, he reneged on that agreement. He cannot be trusted. #VoteHimOut @WVCantWait
@AnnAnne700 @Sludge @BruceAl97473014 @frankthorp @AriNatter @CNN @MSNBC @Sen_JoeManchin @JoeManchinWV @SenateDems @WVCantWait Arrogant, condescending @Lawrence of @TheLastWord smugly devoted an entire show on Thursday singing the praises of #corrupt Machiavellian #JoeManchin. That's the last time I will watch his show. He needs to be fired. @maddow
@AnnAnne700 @Sludge @BruceAl97473014 @frankthorp @AriNatter @CNN @MSNBC @Sen_JoeManchin @JoeManchinWV @SenateDems @WVCantWait @Lawrence @TheLastWord @maddow I bet Lawrence O'Donnell finds this funny too.
#Manchin earns hundreds of thousands of dollars each year through coal sales to power plants that supply Edison Electric Institute member companies…Manchin founded the coal brokerage @enersystems in 1988 and helped run the company..

1/ @POTUS @JoeBiden and @VP @KamalaHarris try to convince us that we can overcome #Republican #VoterSuppression by out-organizing them (and donating more money, of course). They must have forgotten recent history, so @IndivisibleSF would like to remind them:
2/ 2000: Bush v Gore. Nationwide, Gore defeats Bush by 500,000 votes. But Bush "wins" Florida (and therefore the @WhiteHouse) by 537 votes. Prior to the election, Bush's brother, then FL Gov. Jeb Bush, purged 58,000 voters from the rolls, most of them African American.
3/ A court case and investigation by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission later concluded that thousands of voters were wrongly purged, costing Gore at least 4,752 votes — 22 times Bush’s supposed 537 vote margin of victory. #VoterSuppression

#Afganistan vs. Vietnam (Thread by @IndivisibleSF leader & Vietnam vet):
It's infuriating to watch horrific scenes from Kabul & hear TV talking heads dutifully regurgitate official talking points while ignoring the corruption--the giant dung heap at the center of Afghan reality.
For weeks, pols and pundits have been steadfastly ignoring reports that Afghan soldiers hadn't been paid in weeks, were out of ammunition, and were subsisting on starvation rations. What happened to the funds for their pay, bullets, and bread?
Siphoned off into foreign accounts of Afghan political elite and military brass.

Where were the arms and ammo paid for by American taxpayers? Sold on the black market to the Taliban by Afghan colonels, majors, and supply sergeants.

1/ My newly placed “Stop the Recall” sign was ripped in half and left on my front yard. It’s a crime to do such a thing. Lawlessness and race baiting, like fake ballot boxes and hydroxychloroquine COVID cures, will not help #California.
2/ A very vocal and well-funded minority of discontents is raging to get the duly elected @CAgovernor recalled and replaced. They claim @GavinNewsom is responsible for everything wrong with how their lives are going.
