Putin and Trump that got sharp criticism for its bluntness on TV. He called Trump "Putin's cock holster."

11. Sinema has created a huge problem in that it gives a buffer for Manchin

If it were not for the selfish, narcissist Sinema, Manchin would have been isolated all by himself all these months. IMO he wouldn't have as much bravado in how he (and Sinema) pulled back on their initial endorsements, on both the BBB and the Voting Rights Bill.

I think Sinema has succeeded also in confusing and alienating some on the left who she pulls over because of her sexuality and liberal beliefs on other social rights issues.

Manchin must have had the biggest grin ever when he found out he had this younger, opportunistic, megalomaniac for a partner, that backed his greedy and bigoted demands.

13. Not really, which is why Colbert said this about Sinema but not him.

They're very different people. He is who he is, doing what he's doing.

For me on this issue at this time, that's way more than bad enough.

referencing the article that proclaimed "Covid Dick Is Real" and his retort of "yes, but he prefers to be called Ron DeSantis."

Hope ya don't mind me asking for the usual stuff - AFSC, O or E, retired?

I was a 304x4, that changed to a 2E1x3. I heard they re-arranged the AFSCs since i left and I have no idea if my job even exists as I knew it back when.

I retired out of Scott a long while ago.
Any way - Welcome again
