This Week In Fuck Joe Manchin
There
just are not enough Fuck-Joe-Manchins to do justice to his obsessively obtuse,
onerous obstruction.
The Manch continues to hold his party and millions of
desperate Americans hostage in order to satisfy the perverse demands of his
corporate overlords. And the upkeep on his Maserati and his (coal-powered?)
yacht. And naturally, he is looking out for his son who is currently running
Manchin’s coal business while Daddy Joe pretends to represent the people of
West Virginia. Manchin is still pouring cold water on the most important
legislation – the Build Back Better social rescue plan put forth by Joe Biden
and 98 percent of the Democratic party in Congress. Oddly, this cold water is
actually warm…and yellow.
Joe
Manchin – Fuel Fossil
Old
King Coal's most recent hand-wringing around the legislation that the President of
the United States, who leads the party Manchin claims to be part of, involves the
inclusion of tax incentives for electric vehicles made by American workers who
are represented by unions. Manchin is concerned that incentivizing the purchase
of electric vehicles from the only three auto companies with unions – the
U.S.-based Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler – would be “un-American” and “wrong.”
Manchin
showed up at a recent event where Toyota officials announced they would be
investing $240 million in a non-union West Virginia plant to produce
hybrid vehicles. At the Toyota plant where workers have no union
representation, Manchin said, “We shouldn't use everyone's tax dollars to pick
winners and losers.”
Speaking
of how everyone’s tax dollars should not be spent picking winners and losers, U.S.
taxpayers spend tens of billions of dollars a year (thanks to Joe Manchin and
his ilk) subsidizing new fossil fuel exploration, production, and consumption. These
subsidies, directly affect how much oil, natural gas, and coal gets produced – and
how much clean energy doesn't. Somehow, Manchin does not find picking these
winners and losers “un-American” or “wrong.” I suppose this goes without
saying, though not nearly so much as it needs to go on being said at every
opportunity, “Fuck Joe Manchin.”
The Asshole Has No Clothes
Manchin’s alleged reasons for obstructing the American
recovery are, one-by-one, being exposed for what they are –obfuscation of his shameless,
greedy mission to maintain the status quo, to protect corporations and the
inordinately wealthy while allowing most Americans and the county itself to
languish. His pretense of keeping a level playing field and his faux concern
over inflation and the deficit can no longer be treated with even a half-whit
of seriousness. The asshole has no clothes.
This has been your sadly predictable Paying Attention™ Thought For The
Day.
You're welcome to
join in the chorus.
What is your thought
for the day?
