Harris wants to reclaim abandoned land mines

[Trumpet]

congressional Democrats are planning to take their first step toward passing the president’s $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill without Republican help. But now they’ve got a problem: an unhappy Manchin — who, like it or not, has the power to grind this entire thing to a halt.

…here’s what happened: For days the moderate West Virginia Democrat has been imploring the White House to cut a deal with Republicans on coronavirus assistance. Stimulus checks shouldn’t be going to people making $300,000, he’s made clear, and the overall price tag should come down after Congress has already spent upward of $4 trillion. Democratic leaders, however, have balked at the notion of slowing down to negotiate and will put a budget on the floor this week to prepare reconciliation.

But here’s the thing: They need Manchin’s support to do it.

Enter Harris and what one of my Democratic sources called a “ham-handed” interview on local West Virginia television Thursday. It was clearly meant to up the pressure on Manchin to support Biden’s package, but it only antagonized him. “I couldn’t believe it,” Manchin said in a video that went viral Saturday. “No one called me [about it]. … We’re going to try to find a bipartisan pathway forward … but we need to work together. That’s not a way of working together, what was done.”

I’m told Manchin also conveyed his displeasure privately to senior White House officials late last week. Another head-scratcher in all this: Harris isn’t exactly popular in West Virginia. And in the interview, she referred to “abandoned land mines” instead of “abandoned mine lands” in West Virginia, a slip-up sure to cause eye rolls in the state.

Even before Harris’ interview, senior Democrats on the Hill were privately a little worried about Manchin, noting that he has the power to stop Democratic leaders from jamming through the Covid package without Republicans. Two options at Manchin’s disposal: refuse to back the budget this week until there are more talks with Republicans, or insist that Biden and Democrats lower the price tag before doing so.

It looks like Sleepy Joe isn’t the only one having brain farts. Well, for Joe, those are legitimate. For Harris and company, it’s just their hatred of normal, hard-working Americans who, heaven-forbid, work in mines to extract energy resources.

Does this sound like an objective article, or does this sound like a hatchet job?????, Townhall is one of the worse news site for no being factual.

"Condescending Kamala. Snobby Kerry. Crooked Hillary. All three of these prominent members of the Democratic Party have one thing in common: they’ve all shown their hatred and disdain for rural Americans"

Whatever, Nutbag.

Whether you like it or not, the Japanese are building new clean coal power stations.

The coal mining industry has been dying for 5 generations.
WTF would idiots who live there need to be told?

Either start an organic farm or move the fuck away.

she went there to tell them to clear land mines - or the other part of that interview "plug holes and leaks" on the land you'll have to ask her WTF she was yammering

China HUMILIATED as Australia snub backfires - coal boycott triggers huge power cuts

CHINA has been hit by power cuts and compulsory energy saving after a reported boycott of Australian coal caused major fuel shortages.

Last year Australia provided China with 57 percent of its thermal coal imports, which are used to run power stations.

However, last month Beijing blocked Australian coal imports worth more than $1.1bn (£0.81bn).

Much of this is sitting in 80 cargo ships which are currently situated off the Chinese coast.

According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) coal prices in China have exploded from 500 yuan (£56.46) per tonne last month to 760 yuan (£85.82) this week.

As a result, there are reports of widespread power shortages in a number of Chinese provinces.

According to the Daily Mail the Government of Zhejiang province have banned the use of heating in offices unless the temperature falls below 3C.

Between December 13 and 30 many factories in the province have been ordered to shut down for one or two days for every two days they are operational.

In Wenzhou, a city of over nine million in Zhejiang, restaurants have been told they can only provide air conditioning for customers and not staff.

I have no problem with the gaff thing, everyone should enjoy those..

I do get annoyed when people whine about nonsense things like chewing gum or not having an American Flag pin on their suit, that sort of stuff is just stupid whining.

I’m not convinced it was a gaff.

If you want to discuss ‘land mines’ as a topic and use the same term people in the energy industry would use it’s called ‘surface mining’. Or if she wanted to talk about traditional coal mining it’s ‘deep mining’.

Land mines is kind of out there.

I wouldn’t expect a blue stater like Harris to be able to discuss the topic at any great length off the top of her head. But you’d think she’d discuss it with her advisors enough to be adequately prepared to discuss it without getting it mixed up with military jargon.

It was someone not knowing what they were talking about giving a performance.

I’m not convinced it was a gaff. (there is no such thing as a gaff. you meant gaffe. see, your gaffe is worse than hers!!)

Land mines is kind of out there. (Another gaffe. You meant "land mines ARE kind of out there." plural. remember?)

you mean like trump pronouncing the countries Nepal and Bhutan as Nipple and Button? or wondering if maybe bleach could be used to fight covid? or that windmills cause cancer? or that in 1776, the colonists defeated the Brits by taking the airports, manning the skies and ramming their ramparts? or wondering if we could nuke hurricanes before they make landfall? or that there was any significant voting fraud enough to change even one state in the last election?

she was incoherent ( she also mentioned "plugging leaks") - so its hard to say.
She is a ditz -that much is clear

Harris was an also-ran in the Democrats clown show they called a primary.

Gabbard destroyed her in that one debate and it was over after that. Biden only picked her because...well, we know why.

China has been severely restricting Australian trade since Mr Morrison called for an independent investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year.

Heavy restrictions have already been placed on the export of Australian wine, barley and timber to China.

right. she was abysmal - diversity is fine unless it's the controlling factor
then it winds up with ditzy diversity instead

Wow, someone has the balls to sanction China. Go Aussies.

Why can’t we get more of that? Because everyone is in bed with China and China is into everyone. We have one House intelligence committee member that was literally ‘in bed with China’.

I see where Biden is going to take a hard line with Putin. Brave guy, that Biden. Now we can sleep at night knowing Putin won’t...I don’t know. Whatever Putin was thinking about doing, he’ll be thinking twice about it now.

Putin feared Trump far more than he will Biden.

why do we need this cold war mindset? a Russian win is always our loss?
we need to build mutual interests -it's better for Russia and the USA both, instead of forcing Russia closer to China

Oh, I agree. The problem is the left's constant bitching about Russia. Everything's Russia! Russia! Russia! Yet they'll kiss China's ass (because it was them and their damn virus that got Biden elected).
