Fuckin’ Joe Manchin

November 9, 2022

With the 2022 midterm election season finally sorted out – though it was a sickening squeaker, Democrats now have 51 Senate seats (numerically speaking), and Georgia voters barely discarded an intellectually-challenged, woman-abusing, baby killer (by his own standards, not mine) over a preacher and incumbent Senator with a strong record of working with the opposition – we can prepare to reflect back on just what happened. We can also unfortunately return to a long-time Paying Attention™ pastime. One we wish we could retire to the dustbin of history, but alas, we cannot. And so it is time to turn our attention once more to fuckin’* Joe Manchin.

Despite having that one last implausibly thrilling Senate race concluded, we will apparently continue to have Joe Fucking Mansion and his fanatical fossil fucking fuel fetishism foisting its fecal foolishness upon a very suspecting nation.

But seriously, is there not one even minimally-sane Ratpublican? Not one who has had enough of the Trumpian racism, sexism, fascism, lies, hatred and ignorance to turn away and to something constructive? We cannot let slide Ratpublicans’ part in all the stupidity and stagnation. With 51 Democratic Senate seats (49 real ones), can this country not find one actual patriot on the other side of the chasm we call an aisle to make either Manchin or his idiot partner in slime Kyrsten Sinema irrelevant on a few things that help someone other than the filthy rich? One?

What A Piece Of Shit

In his latest quest to be America’s biggest asshole (pretty stiff competition, but Manchin will not be easily denied), the West Virginia coal-soaked multi-millionaire, who claims to be a friend of the working man – and the Democratic Party, once again held shut the door on Joe Biden, Democrats and more hard-working Americans he pretends to care about. Mansion couldn't see fit to even begrudgingly allow the rail workers seven fucking sick days a year. Rail workers currently get zero paid sick days – in America. On that day, there were even six Ratpublicans, including sniveling weasel Marco Rubio and the hateful, hated Ted Cruz, who voted to okay the deal. There were some gains for the workers, but apparently seven paid sick days was a railroad trestle too far.

Hopefully, now that Rafael Warnock has defeated the brain-dead Herschel Walker twice and for all, maybe 49 Democrats can persuade the silly-putty-brained Sinema to get on board and finally relegate Mansion to the coal-dustbin of history once and for all.

The only redeeming quality that can be attributed to Manchin is that, unlike fellow asshole Kanye West, Manchin has not proclaimed his love for Hitler and the Nazis…at least not publicly.
