Thought For The Day

Guess What I’m Thinking Today

This Week In Fuck Joe Manchin

There just are not enough Fuck-Joe-Manchins to do justice to his obsessively obtuse, onerous obstruction.

Joe Manchin, this bird’s for you

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.”

“Look, it should be obvious by now that I'm just a giant dick. What the hell do you
people want from me? I'm taking care of my donors, isn't that good enough?”

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.
