In case you were wondering where all the latest violence and hate started...... Just as I've said in here many times.
I would, however, recommend you look further back. To the Clinton Admin. Hillary was, in a big way, in on the radical turn the DNC took. Don't forget, she wrote her graduation thesis at Wellesley on Saul Alinsky.
These things don't happen by accident. Oh, and..... Say Good Bye to Antifa. They're gonna get taken down. Hard. The Spam has not yet begun to hit the fan. Believe it.
He also says that Biden was an anger junkie incapable of controlling his temper.
And that's before he lost most of his executive function to dementia.
Former Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin is opening up about the wrath he faced from former President Joe Biden -- and how the West Virginian was quietly pulling for Republicans to retake the Senate this past November to save the filibuster.
In his forthcoming book, "Dead Center," Manchin -- the former West Virginia governor who repped the Mountain State for more than 14 years in the Senate -- accused prominent Democrats of undermining the system of checks and balances for more than a decade.
"I don't say this lightly, but under the leadership of President [Barack] Obama and Majority Leader Harry Reid, and later President Biden and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Democrats have systematically tried to weaken the very guardrails that have protected our democracy for generations -- all in the name of advancing their agenda," wrote Manchin, 78, in an excerpt obtained by Punchbowl News.
Manchin, who opted not to seek a third full term in 2024, often found himself at loggerheads with Democratic leadership over his concerns that the far left had too much sway in the party.
In his final term, Manchin and fellow Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona took a public stance against doing away with the Senate's 60-vote legislative filibuster.
In 2022, Manchin recounted, he faced pressure from Schumer to weaken the filibuster to pass election legislation.
"Schumer wasn't interested in debate or persuasion," Manchin wrote. "He wanted a spectacle. He wanted a vote he could weaponize, a moment he could broadcast to the radical left to prove his loyalty. This wasn't about governing or principle. It was about power."
...
Turning to Biden, Manchin knocked the 46th president for having a "very bad temper," though the West Virginian apparently was willing to give as good as he got.
In early 2021, during negotiations over the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, Manchin says he called out Biden as "reckless" for "sending a f--ing check to everyone."
The American Rescue Plan was blamed in part for annual inflation hitting 9.1% in June 2022 -- the highest rate in nearly 40 years.
...
"When the party pushes hard on woke ideology, DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] mandates, and other social agendas, it creates unnecessary divisions, alienates everyday citizens, and moves us further away from the commonsense middle ground where most Americans actually live their lives," he argued.
He says he kept waiting for the moment to change parties, but only now realizes he should have done so in 2016.
Meanwhile, President Trump confirms that the antifa killer was radicalized by left-wing extremists on the internet, and discusses declaring antifa a terrorist organization and using RICO to bankrupt its funders.
