Does he live in the house boat while in DC?

Well, yes he does... It is about 8 miles south of DC. Things are best, he figures, the farther away he can get. As the junior Senator from West Virginia, Democrat Joe Manchin III–charming, plainspoken, moderate–believes his most productive hours as a lawmaker are spent not on the Senate floor or in the cloakroom or committee rooms but on the waters of the Potomac River aboard his houseboat, which, in an act of parochial pride, he plans to christen Almost Heaven. Anchored 8 miles south of the Capitol, the boat is Manchin’s home when he spends the night in Washington three nights or so a week during session. (“I wasn’t crazy on buying any real estate in Washington, not at all,” Manchin says.) The houseboat and its predecessor, the Black Tie, serve as a kind of floating incubator of that tenderest of Washington flowers in the first decades of the 21st century: bipartisanship. “Nobody knows anybody up here,” Manchin, 66, says of the Senate. “It’s amazing. There just aren’t enough real relationships.” That’s where the boat comes in. With pizza and beer (and the occasional bottle of merlot, a shared favorite with Republican Saxby Chambliss of Georgia), Manchin routinely invites Senators from both parties out for evening cruises. “Like a Tom Harkin and a Ted Cruz–when would you ever get them together in a room, O.K.?” Manchin said to TIME. “And you’d be surprised how much people have in common.” Charles Schumer of New York is a particularly enthusiastic guest. “Schumer loves it so much, the whole ambience of it,” says Manchin. “Schumer thinks it’s his boat.” time.com/2899492/joe-manchin-west-virginia-senator/ |

9/28/2021 Former just lost another NDA case..... Former President Donald Trump's effort to enforce a nondisclosure agreement against former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman has failed, The New York Times reports. Trump sued Manigault Newman after she published incriminating tell-all book about him in 2018. The decision in the case, which Mr. Trump's campaign filed in August 2018 with the American Arbitration Association in New York, comes as the former president is enmeshed in a number of investigations and legal cases related to his private company," the Times reports. In a statement, Manigault Newman, who was also a contestant on the reality TV show "The Apprentice," said that Trump "has used this type of vexatious litigation to intimidate, harass and bully for years." Finally the bully has met his match!" she added. www.rawstory.com/trump-loses-nda-lawsuit/ |

That's what originally attracted me to the Republican party, I thought they were more fiscally responsible. Not anymore! They waste more money than I ever imagined! Exactly! Trillions of dollars more in debt 2016-2020 and what exactly do we have to show for it?? Did we fix health care? Insurance? Prescription costs? Did we build any roads or bridges? That tunnel from NJ to NY? Did we fix ancient outdated water piping? Did we increase access to high speed Internet? ( infrastructure if the future? ) Did we build any new mass transit? Increase efficiency of existing mass transit? At least when Democrats spend money I can see where it goes, with Republicans it just seems to disappear. I know I didn’t get much tax cut, it was $9 a month & I a*spent* that & more on increased health insurance costs so my paycheck was actually less than before anyway. |

Not the first time I've heard that. I still have no idea what part of the Constitution the Democrats are supposedly attempting to change!! The one where they want everyone to have the right to vote? Oh right, we changed that already. |

Who knew.....There is criteria listed in the piece. The Federal Emergency Management Agency says 624 Idahoans have begun applying for help with funeral costs for loved ones who died of COVID-19. So far, FEMA has approved 331 of those requests, for a total of $1.9 million in federal aid for COVID-19 funerals, according to a Sept. 20 news release. The agency has provided more than $1.1 billion in financial assistance to nearly 170,000 people to help cover funeral costs for people who died of causes related to COVID-19 since Jan. 20, 2020, the release said. There have been more than 2,700 COVID-19-related deaths among Idahoans since the pandemic began, according to data from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. The FEMA funds can go toward a funeral, cremation, casket or urn, burial plot, headstone and other expenses. For people who lost multiple loved ones to COVID-19, the program provides a maximum of $9,000 per deceased individual, up to a total of $35,500. www.rawstory.com/fema-funeral/ |

Excellent use for Covid relief funds... Not! Alabama at its best . Stick it to those NY libs... Gov. Kay Ivey (R-AL) is dismissing criticisms of her new plan to use COVID relief funds to pay for more prisons. "The Democrat-controlled federal government has never had an issue with throwing trillions of dollars toward their ideological pet projects," Ivey said in a statement, reported the Washington Post. "These prisons need to be built, and we have crafted a fiscally conservative plan." *** Meanwhile, Alabama has been one of the hardest-hit states in the country for COVID-related deaths. Thus far, almost 15,000 people have died in the state. The federal government swooped in to help with the American Rescue Plan, but instead of spending it on COVID-related issues, Ivey wants to funnel the cash to build for-profit prisons. *** Republicans on the ground in Alabama have turned the questions to being a war between Alabama and "New York liberals" trying to tell Alabama what they can and can't do. www.rawstory.com/kay-ivey-gives-money-private-prisons/ |

UPDATE: Lewandowski has been fired from the PAC!! Article a few posts down! Credible sexual assault complaint.. The longtime Trump aide harassed her at a charity event, a major Republican Party contributor alleges. By ALEX ISENSTADT 09/29/2021 12:29 PM EDT A Donald Trump donor is accusing Corey Lewandowski, one of the former president’s longtime top aides, of making unwanted sexual advances toward her at a Las Vegas charity event over the weekend. Trashelle Odom, the wife of Idaho construction executive John Odom, alleges that Lewandowski repeatedly touched her, including on her leg and buttocks, and spoke to her in sexually graphic terms. Odom said that Lewandowski “stalked” her throughout the evening. Four people who were first-hand witnesses at the event corroborated Odom’s allegations. POLITICO also spoke with two people — one who was at the event and another who was not — who described conversations they had with Odom about the incidents immediately after they happened. “On the evening of September 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada, I attended a dinner to support a charity and spend time with wonderful friends,” Odom said in a statement to POLITICO. “He repeatedly touched me inappropriately, said vile and disgusting things to me, stalked me, and made me feel violated and fearful,” she said, referring to Lewandowski. “I am coming forward because he needs to be held accountable,” Odom continued. “I am blessed to have a loving husband and family behind me. I want other women to know that you can be heard, too, and together we can stop terrible things like this from happening.” *** Attendees also observed Lewandowski growing physical with Odom. “Mrs. Odom stated that over the course of the dinner, Mr. Lewandowski tried to hold her hand, and she pushed his hand away. He touched her leg, and she moved it away. He grabbed her napkin off her lap and tried to touch grabbed her napkin off her lap and tried to touch her leg again, and she pulled her dress over her leg, to move his hand away and cover her skin,” Odom’s attorney wrote in the statement. www.politico.com/news/2021/09/29/corey-lewandowski-sexual-advances-allegations-514650There is more .... |

Maggie Haberman points out the real reason Lewandowski was fired. Although his behavior has been questionable in the past, this time he claimed you have to through him to get to former.. Well former doesn't like anyone to state s/he is more important then he is.. Corey Lewandowski was kicked out of Donald Trump's inner circle -- but not for the reasons that have been widely reported. *** Lewandowski had allegedly attempted to intimidate his victim by claiming that he had control over Trump's inner circle and had the power to determine the fate of anyone inside the former president's orbit. "Lewandowski said no candidate receives the president's endorsement without [his] approval," Politico reported. www.rawstory.com/corey-lewandowski-trump/ |

I thought he could only pardon a federal crime. NY and GA are state charges... Donald Trump's chaotic time as a politician could get even weirder, according to a 2024 analysis by a top legal expert. The host of "The Mehdi Hasan Show" interviewed law professor Jennifer Taub, the author of the new book BIG DIRTY MONEY. Hasan noted Trump is being investigated by the New York attorney general and Manhattan district attorney. "Do you think this country will ever put a former president behind bars in this country, if not inciting an insurrection or interfering in an election in Georgia, then for financial crimes and tax dodging, Al Capone style," Hasan said. Taub said she thought it was more likely Trump would be indicted in Georgia than in New York. The legal scholar then offered any intriguing scenario. The problem is, as you know, as you probably know, there's no prohibition on running for president, even if you are in jail and that would give Trump even more fire in his belly to win," she said. "And so, then he could just pardon himself and unlock the door to the prison," Taub said. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-2024-2655202034/ |

I hope they realize they cannot support themselves. And THAT is a fact! ‘Clear and present danger’: Majority of Trump voters believe it’s ‘time to split the country’ in two: report David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement September 30, 2021 The highly-respected University of Virginia's nonpartisan Center for Politics has released a new study that finds a majority of Trump voters believe it's time to split the country into two, with "red states" and "blue states" seceding from the Union. The organization, headed by Larry Sabato of "Sabato's Crystal Ball," reports that four in ten Biden voters agree. www.rawstory.com/clear-and-present-danger-majority-of-trump-voters-believe-its-time-to-split-the-country-in-two-report/ |
