You think Midler is an actress?Why would anyone care one inch about what some washed up actress says?
What I really don't get is why the left is so triggered and angry about legislation that does not have a majority support. It really is insane.
You think Midler is an actress?
I don’t think a majority supports him on this measure. The last poll conducted in September shows a majority of WV supporting BBB.

“In particular, the union singled out a provision in the Build Back Better bill that would help miners suffering from black lung. This disease is caused by long-term exposure to coal dust, which builds up in the lungs and causes inflammation, scarring and cell death.”
He cares about his coal investments, and his coal brokerage firm.He doesn't care about his people in WV.
2/3 of WV wants BBB.
Oh God. You cannot be this retarded.

All you have to do is look at any Leftist totalitarian state and how politics are done there. In such a state Manchin would have 'disappeared' by now and been replaced by a more 'reliable' candidate who votes the party line. The Left operates more like a cult and religion than deliberative and democratic political body. Failure to follow the party line and its dogma gets you pilloried then ejected as a heretic. You can see that with the response to Manchin not going along with the Big Bucks Blunder.
You can prove that of course right, back it up!
There are items in that bill that benefit the members of the UMWA, and they want those things.
Roberts’ statement highlights three items in the Build Back Better legislature that would benefit its members:
The bill includes language that would extend the current fee paid by coal companies to fund benefits received by victims of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, or Black Lung. But now that fee will be cut in half, further shifting the burden of paying these benefits away from the coal companies and on to taxpayers.
The bill includes language that will provide tax incentives to encourage manufacturers to build facilities in the coalfields that would employ thousands of coal miners who have lost their jobs. We support that and are ready to help supply those plants with a trained, professional workforce. But now the potential for those jobs is significantly threatened.
The bill includes language that would, for the first time, financially penalize outlaw employers that deny workers their rights to form a union on the job. This language is critical to any long-term ability to restore the right to organize in America in the face of ramped-up union-busting by employers. But now there is no path forward for millions of workers to exercise their rights at work.
He cares about his coal investments, and his coal brokerage firm.
Nothing more. He doesn't even try to hide it.

She's primarily a singer, who eventually got a few big movie roles.She is. Unless you mean she's a bad actress.
TD has been reduced to Bette Midler posts, sad thing to watch

She's primarily a singer, who eventually got a few big movie roles.
I can't see the OP, so I'm not sure what the complaint is.
It's quite ironic who the left think they are "tolerant" and "open minded." As Bette Midler proves, they are everything BUT.
Bette Midler’s insult to West Virginians shows the real heart of the demeaning left
Mad at Sen. Joe Manchin for nixing President Joe Biden’s multitrillion-dollar $2 trillion Build Back Better bill, Bette Midler tweeted out a slur of all West Virginians. Diva much, Bette?
Manchin, the “Beaches” legend claimed, “wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out.”
An ensuing uproar got her to back off — sort of: “I apologize to the good people of WVA for my last outburst,” she tweeted. “I’m just seeing red; #JoeManchin and his whole family are a criminal enterprise. Is he really the best WV has to offer its own citizens? Surely there’s someone there who has the state’s interests at heart, not his own.”
She couldn’t resist again demeaning the “good people” of West Virginia — who dare see their own interests, and Manchin, differently from her.
The elite left literally can’t conceive of legitimate disagreement: All of America that thinks differently is defective, a bunch of hicks and addicts. Progressives’ eternal blindness to their own bigotry is a marvel.

She happens to be right. It's crazy when Democrats apologize for being right.
The rate of overdose related to the use of licit and illicit opioids has drastically increased over the last decade in the United States. The epicenter has been West Virginia with the highest rates of overdoses accounting for 41.5 deaths per 100 000 people among the 33 091 deaths in 2015. The purpose of this research was to examine and analyze the cause of the opioid epidemic and subsequent responses to it in the state of West Virginia. This study conducted a literature review using 37 references that were published between the years 2009 and 2018, complemented with a semistructured interview. The number of people injecting drugs has increased from 36% in 2005 to 54% in 2015. The total US cost of prescription opioid abuse in 2011 has been estimated at $25 billion, and criminal justice system costs to $5.1 billion. The reasons for this opioid epidemic incidence in West Virginia have been a combination of sociocultural factors, a depressed economy, lack of education, and a high rate of prescribing and dispensing of prescription opioids.
It's just his usual flailing.
