So when Flake, Murkowski, Collins and Manchin had their little meeting

It was just to discuss a way to cover their asses when they voted yes? I suspected as much.

They all wanted political cover. The WH was happy to oblige.

including grahms. Bc they were all lying at us that day. We have to recognize the signs and symptoms of liars. Especially traitors and traitor enablers to this Country. It's just not debatable anymore that there's mischief of a high order afoot.
Also review dt on Airforce one when he told reporters he didn't know shit about the porn star. I mean the FIRST one where he and Melanoma had entered the plane and she was standing behind him. He childishly/innocently denied the charges in toto. Observe his face. We have to do better to see the obvious it seems. Either way, we got a week to work with. W this crew that was a major victory bc last week they could've voted.
Aside...Why is it ok for every politician to swear now? What happened to repub family values and the high morals crowd? It's ok for kids to hear adult leaders of our country talking like sailors on leave? If i hear a call for civility in the next 30 days...I'm going to start cussing it up myself.

Murkowski has the Native Alaskans to deal with. Collins don't care. Manchin I would say a no.

He's not running for re-election and has called out trump a few times. Talk is cheap, as they say.

He could site unfit demeanor and get a bit of cread with the party as to why in the hell he is a Democratic Senator. And do it angrily to challenge the Repubs to present a fit candidate..win win Joe.
