Who’s On Worst

What’s In Your Wallet?

November 3, 2021

As usual, many Americans are frustrated with the lack of progress in Washington. And as usual, they are blaming the wrong people. Some are blaming progressive Democrats for holding up passage of a severely watered-down rescue package. All they can see is that nothing is getting passed. Too few people realize that progressive Dems are holding out for the things that will help most Americans, as opposed to Ratpublican-lite Dems like Coal Manchin and Krysten Sinema, who are holding out for the things their generous agonizingly-anti-altruistic corporate mega-donors are telling them, and paying them big bucks, to hold out for.

The Twin Trollers are valiantly standing up for Big Pharma, Big Oil and (Not-so) Big Coal, among other corporate life-forms. Though Manchin continues to tout the greatness of the coal industry, one cannot help but notice that the West Virginia Weasel has clean hands (coal-wise) and clear lungs – unlike so many who live and work in his state and for the coal companies that continue to line his pockets with millions and millions of dollars.

More importantly, it is all too infrequent that we hear what needs to be drummed into public consciousness non-stop – not one single Ratpublican will ever step out of line and do what most Americans need and want. A fair shake at a chance to live a life of something other than measly paycheck to measly paycheck.

Hey, look what I found. Nothing.

So many people caterwaul about welfare, and welfare cheats, without Paying Attention™ to the real welfare cheats – giant corporations like Exxon, who by the way takes our tax dollars and uses them to hide their own research that proves their products are destroying the environment in order to rake in the dough and slowly kill off all their customers. Pretty smart business model, no? NO.

And in no small part because of all this, Joe Biden’s approval rating is wavering around Turmp/toilet levels, Virginia just elected Glenn Youngkin – a hedge fund bottom-feeder who worked at the same Carlyle Group that once engorged Mitt “Corporations Are People, My Friend” Romney’s greedy gullet. Youngkin is another Turmpian two-bit faux populist spewing racist dog-whistles, who didn’t even have the guts to be seen in public with his political benefactor.

As of this writing, the race for New Jersey governor is too close to bear, as yet another Turmp wannabe is in a tie with the state’s incumbent Democrat. Naturally, the Ratpublican is angrily claiming victory, and will undoubtedly cry “Stop The Steal” should his vote count end up being the smaller number.

This country is in a shitload of trouble. With a capital “T” and that rhymes with a whole bunch of things, but more importantly spells Racist Civil War.

I. Mangrey. Period.
