Gee what a surprise, he’s not a man. West Virginia needs to remember he’s a weak man easily bought.

Yep.

If you’re gonna write your own headlines, be sure to spell everything correctly.

I’ve always said that.

I have no idea where this idea came from that they were going to do nothing. Congress will do something. They never just throw up their hands and say “Ok we can’t agree so we are going to do nothing”

All they have been arguing about for months is how big the screw job was going to be

Manchin always folds.

He got his wife an ambassadorship or appointment in one of the earlier Boondoggles, or more accurately, she got blessed by Biden, and in one of the subsequent Porkulus bills, her budget was increased by a Billion dollars!

As in a thousand Million!

Boondoggle City!

Unfortunately that is a resume enhancer in a state that survives only on largess from the federal treasury.

He needs to be more concerned about being in the party of the baby killers than holding out on the spending bill. Some people will do anything for notoriety and power. Even sell their souls.
