Privileged access.

Ding...ding...ding

That didn't take long. We should all be outraged St Joe gives this kind of ear time to a billionaire and then question his ulterior motives giving Dems a hard time with BBB and his stubbornest on eliminating the filibuster. I think Joe wants to maintain his ability to shoot down any legislation one of his billionaire buddies doesn't want.

Joe Manchin is who he said he was and has held true to his values and the values of his constituents.

Watch him put a bullet into Cap and Trade.

If you weren’t a traitor you too would be concern that a billionaire has direct access and talks to a senator.

But since you are so brainwashed and have been trained to hate your fellow Americans and democracy itself, you only see this as team politics and another change for your team to score political points.

Wouldn't it be accurate to say that all of the fellows friends have privileged access?

The article says they have been friends for 10 years... Just because they talk doesn't mean anything is underhanded going on. Pretty sure all Senators and Representatives talk to old rich people. How else do you get millions of dollars to get elected.

What needs to happen is change the election finance laws.

Most of the problem is PAC money. He should be very concerned about all the people he voted for who appointed people to the SCOTUS.

On the national level I can name 2 off the top of my head one of which i've actually voted for.


So you cant say you've ever cast a vote for anyone who supports campaign finance reform? If you don't vote for the one willing to do it you have to grounds for complaining.
