Resignation Day(s) 2021 - Day One

Those Who Don't Celebrate History Are Doomed To Regret It

August 8, 2021

We simply cannot ignore the desire to reminisce, remind and rehash the historic resignation of disgraced president Richard Nixon. We recall with frightening clarity when what would one day become the entire staff at Paying Attention watched Bonnie Raitt stop the August 8, 1974 show at the Temple University Ambler Campus Music Fair to announce with great satisfaction that the murderous, drunken paranoiac Dick Nixon had declared his intention to resign his office, effective at noon on the following day (Hence, the two-day celebration). If not for his cowardly resignation, knowing full well that his hand-picked successor had promised to grant him a full pardon for the crimes of which Nixon was clearly guilty. And if there was any doubt of said guilt, the pardon put an end to any such debate. Innocent people do not get pardons.

As much as we here at Paying Attention love a good impeachment, this is the first time in four years that we have not smelled the acrid though irresistible scent of get-this-fucking-asshole-out-of-here-already as though it were smoldering in the next room. Nonetheless, the incredibly inaptly-named Right Wing is screaming for impeachment, despite the fact that there have been no reasons shown by the actual current president, Joe Biden. Funny thing though, the spray-tanned psychopath who claims he is still president, continues to warrant impeachment as more details of his long-planned coup d'état come to light each and every day.

It might be worth humoring the Orange Turd just for a day or two. Let him be president for a day so we can impeach the mother fucker again already. Turmp has done nothing to glaring the light of impeachment trying to add a more normal coloring to the Orange B (typically only for use in hot dog and sausage casings)-hued blimp, who has done everything but personally filch voting machines or employ his last-phrase-of-the-Second-Amendment “rights” in order to create enough votes to steal the election. Turmp tried to get the Ukraine president to fabricate dirt on Biden’s hapless son Hunter, tried to get DOJ officials to reverse election results, tried to get several governors to do the same, and finally resorted to inciting a bunch of mental mutants to storm the Capitol and maybe hang Mike Pence, just for good measure.

In any event, neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night could stay Paying Attention from the swift completion of our annual celebration of the only two-day American holiday – the resignation and next-day departure of paranoid sociopath Richard M. Nixon. It gives us no pleasure to admit that Nixon’s seemingly horrendous abuse of power has since paled in comparison to the double-dipping douchebag Donald Turmp who tried to, and continues to try to destroy American democracy itself. Two impeachments were not enough to short-circuit Mad King Donald. His filth goes marching on.

Do you know where you were on August 8, 1974?

Those Who Don’t Learn From History Are Doomed To Fuck It Up For The Rest Of Us

Before we regale you – or perhaps gale you for the first time – with this year’s brand-new verses of the old holiday favorite ‘Twas The Night Before Resignation, on Day 2 of Resignation Day(s), here are a few highlights from the ghost of Resignation Day(s) past.

Here is the original long-lost text as presented in 2008…

I stumbled across a bit of this very old, well-know verse that I thought would be fun to share with everyone at this special time of year.  It’s an age-old seasonal ditty and this being my favorite American holiday and all.  I’m not sure I remembered all of the words correctly but I’ve rendered them to the best of my recollection, and I may have been overzealous and inadvertently added a few verses that didn’t exist at all.  But, it’s full of holiday magic and joy – a favorite of children and adults throughout the ages so read it to your children and grandchildren to keep the tradition alive.  Now without further ado, in honor of August 8-9, 1974, a moment in history, which our Founders would surely have savoured, I bring you…

‘Twas the night before Resignation

‘Twas the night before Resignation, when all through the house
Richard Nixon was cornered, like a trapped diseased mouse.
His burglars had screwed it tho they burgled with care,
His cover-up in ruins, soon the end would be there.

The Congress were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of impeachment danced in their heads.
Sam Irvin with his gavel, exposed all the crap,
And roused our democracy from a long winter’s nap.

So all o’er the land there arose such a clatter,
Even the public could see what was the matter.
And there it was every day on TV like a flash,
Then everyone knew the president was trash.

It was hard to imagine this crook being regal
Tho he said, “If the president does it then it is not illegal.”
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But his lies all exposed and the end of his career.

A great day for democracy, it happened so quick,
What could be worse than that horrid old Dick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And all those were sentenced and each one by name!

"Now Haldeman! now, Erlichman! now, Mitchell and Dean!
On, Colson! On, Liddy!, oh my what a scene!
They all came a tumbling from the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!" 

A snippet from 2011…

‘Tis the eve of impeachment –Oh please just once more
So much fun to be had, who knows what’s in store,
This appointed dry-drunk liar with his head up his butt.
Must be ripped from the Peoples’ House and his prison door shut.

Yes we did it one time not so long ago
Said it couldn’t be done, well how could we know.
Who knows what can happen when clear thinking rules,
Maybe we can get rid of this new batch of fools.

A long train of abuses and usurpations once again stains us all,
By Constitution, our right and our duty - this Despot must fall.
Again let’s take back our nation from thieves,
Then lock them away and dispose of the keys.

It’s that time of the season, to excise George the king,
The land of the free and that sort of thing.
And I say to you all, Power To The People, Out Of Sight,
More Impeachment to all, and to all a good-night!

Dickie's Such An Asshole

Blunt Farce Trauma

August 5, 2021

“It's gonna be 9-0. They're gonna take this election down, and, yes, Donald Trump will be your president. He is your president now.”
                                 Pillow-head Mike Lindell, June 26, 2021

Any day now, self-proclaimed My Pillow Nut, Mike Lindell is going to change the world – just ask him. Actually, do not ask him. Please. Whatever you do, do not ask him. That will only serve to cause him to speak. While Lindell’s claims that he kicked his crack habit may be true, nothing else he says is. And nothing in his current behavior would cause anyone to believe he is clean and sober. Or compos mentis. His pillows, are a few levels below crap. And his claims that he stopped using aside, his brain remains badly damaged from his crack days.

Whatever flotsam and/or jetsam bobbing around in the bony cavity atop his quivering spine, lingers 20,000 leagues south of reality. Clearly, Lindell’s head is filled with the same chunks of whatever-it-is that fill his gawdawful pillows. That, and years of crack residue.

Bum and Bummer 

Very soon, we are told, unassailable evidence, the likes of which no one has ever seen, will be revealed for all to behold; what Lindell describes as “100 percent non-subjective evidence.” Though Mystic Mike has vacillated between insisting that August 13 is the day that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will resign (Or is it that they will be ousted by a 9-0 Supreme Court decision?), and the once and future fascist Donald J. Turmp will be reinstated as president of these here Yoooonited States of Amurka, and saying he never said any such thing. As is so often the case with these nut-cases, there is actual video evidence of Lindell saying exactly what he says he did not say.

Apparently, this baffling barrage of blood-curdling bullshit is due to assault our senses and our intellect on August 10 during what Lindell is calling a “cyber symposium,” which even Fux News has refused to promote, causing the My Pillow Clown to pull all his idiotic advertising.

Be sure to stock up on popcorn, beer, toilet paper and disinfectant in bothered anticipation of Meth-Odd Mike’s gigantic, irrefutable, indestructible announcement coming soon to a loony bin near you.

“Mr. Turmp knows he is still president, because he listens to me.
And I have all the proof right here in my jacket.”

This has been a Special Paying Attention Broken News report.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled fear and loathing.

(Not) Far From The MAGAning Crowd

More Ron

August 2, 2021

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is hard at work burnishing his presidential bona fides – as he sees them – by trying to be the Turmpiest governor in the land. This, while simultaneously watching for the moment when he can and/or must disentangle himself from his orange guru/benefactor, who DeSantis rode to the Florida governor’s mansion in 2018.

DeSantis, trying to make his child stupid, hateful and racist for a campaign ad

Presently, as the virus surges in Florida, DeSantis is bound and determined to see how many Floridians he can kill, emulating Turmp’s attempts to ignore the original deadly COVID virus and watch Americans die by the hundreds of thousands because he thought it made him look strong. DeSantis has vowed there will be no more lockdowns or other restrictions in his state (of denial). He recently signed an executive order outlawing schools from instituting mask mandates. He is promising parents that their children will not have to suffer the freedom-killing humiliation of having to wear masks to protect themselves from the now rampant Delta Variant of the COVID-19 virus, which has taken the lead in the virus sprint event in the Stupid Olympics, thanks in no small part to the murderous response to the initial virus perpetrated by the guy in the White House before Joe Biden got freely, fairly, and landslidingly elected in the dredges of 2020.

According to the Miami Herald, this past Saturday, July 31, “the state of Florida reported more new COVID-19 cases to the Centers for Disease Control than any previous day in the coronavirus pandemic: 21,683. That’s a 12.1% jump over the previous record, Jan. 7’s 19,334 cases during the worst month of the pandemic.” And they could not have done it without the stunning leadershit of Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis attempting to spell his name for reporters

You can try to educate the Florida Man out of the idiot – DeSantis graduated from Yale and then Harvard Law School – (now I understand why so many Ratpublicans bemoan Ivy League elites*) but it seems you cannot educate the idiot out of this Florida Man.

*Ted Cruz, Justices John Roberts, Antonin Scalia and Neil Gorsuch, Senators Tom Cotton, Pat Toomey and Ted Stevens, and newly minted nutjob Rep. Elise Stefanik, all graduated from Harvard. Prescott, George HW and George W. Bush, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas and John Ashcroft are all products of Yale.

Get Your Vaccine Right Here, Folks
                     or
 Get Your Virus Right Here, Folks

      It’s A Choice…Apparently

July 31, 2021

President Biden spoke to the nation the other day about the dangers of the surging Delta Variant of the COVID-19 virus. Biden resisted the urge to label this virulent new strain on the nation the “Dumbass Donald Variant.”

Biden didn’t say, “I just don’t know what to tell you folks. Too many of you refuse to get the vaccine, which seems to be allowing the virus to mutate very quickly and dangerously. Not only that, but many of my Ratpublican friends are going fucking bananas because our scientists insist on keeping up with the emerging data and the mutating virus, and these scientists are now recommending that everyone go back to wearing masks when they’re indoors, especially since there are so many are unvaccinated and – to paraphrase the great Prince – walking around like it was 1999. I understand that science and smart people scare the crap out of a lot of you, especially those of you who insisted on voting for a pussy-grabbing conman loser who got impeached. Two times, people. He got impeached two times, and though he constantly yelled, “America first,” he was selling us out to Russia so he could build a hotel in Moscow for Crissakes. If you won’t get the vaccine, at least stop being assholes and wear your mask in public. I hate to say this, but if you feel like dying from the virus, who am I to tell you no. Do what you gotta do, just do it by yourself and stay the fuck away from the rest of us, or at least, and I hate to keep repeating myself, but enough with all the damn malarkey and wear a fucking mask for Pete sake. Masks will not kill people, but your stupid fucking MAGA bullshit will. Masks will also not steal your freedoms, but your MAGA bullshit will. This is a big fucking deal, you morons. Oh, and news flash – your boy Turmp is not going to be reinstated next month, or next year or ever, so stay the fuck out of the Capitol. Stay home and drink yourself into a coma, or drink some disinfectant, or do something else useful.”

PAYING ATTENTION EXCLUSIVE: Son Of Talking (to a) Turkey

My Interview With You-Know-What, Part Two

July 27, 2021

We apologetically return you now to the finale of our exclusive sit-down/throw-up with the creature known for all time as America’s 45^th and worst president. Thank you and good luck.

Turmp: First of all, it was the Kung Flu – a great name by the way, that I came up with – and it was a hoax for a very long time, and there’s no proof it killed anyone, and I had nothing to do with all the people it killed. I’m not a doctor damn it, I’m a business man. And probably the best one ever. And even though I’m not a doctor, my superior brain knows more about flus and viruses and vaccines than any of those loser doctors out there.

Mangrey: One more question about your pet virus and then we’ll move on. How do you feel about the fact that even though you keep lying all the time about how you created the vaccine, and when it became available you pushed to the front of the line to get it in private, most members of your insane cult say they will never get vaccinated because the “don’t trust the government?” Does it bother you that they won’t get “your” vaccine and that the government they don’t trust was actually yours? Or do you just chalk it up to the fact that they are, after all, too stupid to live?

Turmp: Everybody loves my vaccine. The only reason some very fine people are not getting it is because Sleepy Joe won’t let them or because they don’t trust his government, because it’s not his, it’s mine. In fact, I did win the election. You know it, I know it, and everyone you know knows it. And you know that, too.

Mangrey: If you're such a clean-living, stand-up...let's say...guy, how is it that practically everyone around you in your fake administration and your fake business either pleaded guilty and needed you to pardon them, or was found guilty and you had to pardon them, or is currently under indictment wishing you could pardon them? And why did you repeatedly ask if you could pardon yourself, even without or before having been indicted yourself?

Turmp: I have the best people. Everywhere I look all I see is the best people, except when I look at CNN or MSNBC or you. Everyone I work with is the best person ever – like Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, the great general Mike Flynn, Paul Manafort, Allen Weisselberg, Tom Barrack – you will not find better people anywhere. Everyone knows this. Why do you have to ask me fake questions like this? Do you think I’m stupid?

Well, do I think he is stupid? What do you think I think?

Mangrey: I will just leave your answer there for others to dissect, and as a favor to you – don’t ask me why I would ever do you a favor – I won’t answer your question. The answer to that will be obvious to anyone with an IQ larger than their shoe size, which I realize rules out most of your cult, but there’s no point trying to tell them anything anyway. Now as promised, and frankly I don’t think I could tolerate one more minute in the same room with you anyway, I have just one last question, and please don’t take this the wrong way – exactly what the fuck is wrong with you? It’s not me saying this, many people are asking this. I saw in on Twitter, all over the internet, on billboards and public restroom walls. Do you have any idea? I’m guessing not, but I just had to ask. I need a good laugh.

Turmp: What a fake question. I don’t have any idea what you mean. You can ask anyone, I’m absolutely perfect. Never made a mistake, except not calling out the military to shoot down those nasty Black Lives Matter terrorists. Very big hands, the best words, a very, very large uh-brain, very stable genius, greatest president ever. I dare you to find in one single tiny flaw. I made this country great again, and greater than it ever was – even greater than when we had slaves. What the hell have you ever done?

Turmp proffering innocent messaging for his lovefest at the Capitol on Jan 6

Well, thank God that’s over. I have not done very many interviews, and I certainly wish I hadn’t had to do this one. I’m going to need one of those showers people have to take after being exposed to radiation. I hope that fucker is not contagious to non-Ratpublicans. Of course, Turmp is also simply too stupid to realize how stupid he is. Some people can look around and realize they are just not as smart as most others. Turmp is convinced that he is the smartest guy ever. It is time for him to prove it by donating his very, very large uh-brain to science. Immediately.

I. Mangrey recovering. No animals were harmed during the course of this interview…except for the interviewer.

Fraught For The Day

 

Are You Hearing The Hearing That I’m Hearing?

July 27, 2021

I watched some of the first day of the 1/6 Commission’s hearing on the deadly insurrection instigated by Donald Turmp. Four heroic officers testified. More than one officer was clear that Donald Turmp needed to testify about his undeniable role in the violent coup attempt. USCP Officer Harry Dunn testified, “If a hit man is hired and kills somebody, the hit man goes to jail. But not only does the hit man go to jail, but the person who hires them does. There was an attack carried out on January 6th, and a hitman sent them. I want you to get to the bottom of that. Thank you.”

Liz Cheney asked Capitol Police officer Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, who was badly injured during Turmp's insurrection, how he felt hearing Turmp say “It was a loving crowd. There was a lot of love in the crowd.” Gonell responded, “It was upsetting. It is a pathetic excuse for his behavior for something that he himself helped to create — this monstrosity. I'm still recovering from those hugs and kisses that day.”

I find it comforting that, if only for this brief, hopefully unique moment in time, there are two Republicans who can tell the difference between defending and defiling the Constitution. I find it discomforting that there are very clearly only two.

And I will never forgive myself or anyone else for making me, however briefly, not despise Dick Cheney, Jr.

PAYING ATTENTION EXCLUSIVE: Talking (to a) Turkey

My Interview With You-Know-What, Part One

July 25, 2021

Fortunately for all involved, this is not as long as any of the current crop of tomes exposing more of the egregious exploits of the failed blogger who previously inhabited the White House after losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in 2016. Nonetheless, in order to spare your feelings and mental health the following interview will be meted out in two parts. So, take in Part One, collect yourself, maybe take a vacation, a brief coma or a lost weekend and gird your loins for Part Two.

“Michael Corleone did not hire as many criminals as Donald Turmp has.”
                Elie Mystal, on The Beat with Ari Melber, July 22, 2021

Donald Turmp is too narcissistic to resist running his lying mouth, even to reporters who have previously raked him over the truth coals, very publicly in the past, causing his fake orange hue to glow in the dark. Maybe he figured that since he got crushed by both Hillary Clinton and even more bigly by Joe Biden, that the day might not be too far off when no one will give a flying fuck what he has to say. No one that is, except the intractably ignorant millions who are immune to truth, intelligence and reality. And the soul-less, groveling Ratpublicans who stitched themselves to Turmp like a reverse-conjoined-twins procedure. And their decision to do so makes just as much sense as two worried (and obviously insane) parents placing a frantic call to Dr. Ben Carson (that alone should bring their mental fitness into question), at their half-wits’ end, insisting that their very healthy, normal twins need to be surgically joined.

On the precipice of my dangerous mission.

Unfortunately, you can still kind of make out his face

It is probably Turmp’s uncontrollable need to be seen and heard and to be damaging to everyone and everything that is not him, that caused him to do countless hours of interviews with the likes of Bob Woodward, Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, and Michael Wolff – even though all of them had previously shared an abundance of, shall we say uncomplimentary and horrifying surprises after observing and interviewing the Bloated, Walking Cheese-Puff.

Turmp is so desperate for attention after being banned from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and the White House that our managing editor, Ed Venture was able to wrangle a face-to-whatever-that-thing-on-his-neck-is with Don, Sr. However, this get was got only on the condition that we keep the questions to a minimum, and the words very simple. Ed is no dummy, and refused to do the interview himself, so I drew the short straw.

I. Mangrey Talks To The Wall

Mangrey: Mr. Turmp – I hope you don’t mind if I don’t address you as “Mr. President,” because there’s just no fucking way in hall that’s ever going to happen. Even addressing you with ‘Mr.’ makes me uncomfortable. Anyway, do you think you incited the riot-in-your-name that you obviously incited on January 6^th?

I knew the job was dangerous when I took it, Fred.

Turmp: Let me just say, very powerfully and very strongly, maybe not as strongly as Putin – who is very powerful and strong, I don’t know why I wouldn’t have…I mean, I don’t know why I would have…anyway they both mean the same thing. And I’ve never done anything wrong. You can’t name one thing I’ve ever done wrong. I’m one of the best, nicest people anyone has ever met. And the least racist person you’ve ever met. Just ask me.

Mangrey: First of all, you did so many horrible things that I’d probably die of old age before listing them all, but I’ll just name one obvious one – does the name Don, Jr. ring a bell? My question is, did you purposely try to kill 600,000 Americans with your Turmp virus, or were you simply too ignorant to know what the fuck you were doing? I mean, drinking disinfectant?

Tune in next time for the scintillating, nauseating, mind-boggling, soul-curdling response to this and other trenchant queries.

I. Mangrey revealing.

Still Psycho After All These Years

Psycho-Killer WTF

July 23, 2021

Little Donny Danger and his Very Damaged Brain are flailing badly…or bigly if you prefer. When he is not busy fantasizing that he will be reinstated – like a miracle in one month – because he won all the swing states that he lost, or bragging about how after getting impeached the first time he did not start behaving better, but “got worse,” or trying Orwell his way out of having incited an insurrection on January 6, 2021, he keeps screaming about how great he was for creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

He does not like to remind anyone that after wallowing at death’s door because of the virus that should bear his name (one of the few things that rightfully should do so), he got vaccinated before anyone else. Nonetheless, this mentally defective waster of valuable oxygen refuses to tell people to take advantage of the vaccine he falsely claims he personally created. Instead, he continues to ignore reality and the health of the majority of his cult members. Remember when Turmp lied that he liked wearing his black mask because it made him look like the Lone Ranger? Turmp now likes to speak to morons from behind a fake Presidential Seal.

CNN’s Acosta to Turmp: Take your fake White House seal

and play president somewhere else

Turmp recently blathered on about how pathetic Biden is because he did not reach his goal of 70% of Americans being fully vaccinated by July 4^th. Funny story – it is possible that the constant whining of Turmp and Fux News talking dicks that masks will kill you and your freedom, and that the COVID vaccine was a plot by the Deep State to magnetize and contaminate you and is being used to implant some sort of computer chip/mind-control device that will turn everyone vaccinated into George Soros’ robots, which he will use to test out his space lasers. Remember, this is the same vaccine Turmp will not stop demanding credit for inventing.

As If This Were Not Enough…

This pathetic, psychotic fuckwit told Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker in interviews for their new book I Alone Can Fix It, “I think it would be hard if George Washington came back from the dead and he chose Abraham Lincoln as his vice president, I think it would have been very hard for them to beat me.” As hard as it was for Sleepy Joe Biden?

While being interviewed for the same book, United States Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley was reported as worrying that “Trump was stoking unrest, possibly in hopes of an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and call out the military.” Milley viewed Trump as “the classic authoritarian leader with nothing to lose,” telling aides, “This is a Reichstag moment. The gospel of the Führer.”

A Turmp quote. How ironic, he alone fucked it up.

Milley was concerned that America’s only mindless megalomaniac president might try to hold onto power even after being crushed in the 2020 election, making him the only twice-impeached, one-term, fascist president in the nation’s history, by staging some sort of coup. Milley reportedly told his deputies, “They may try, but they're not going to fucking succeed. You can't do this without the military. You can't do this without the CIA and the FBI. We're the guys with the guns.”

While the above quote is one I never thought I would ever want to hear, these words took on a completely different meaning given the situation we faced when Turmp, desperate to hold onto his pardon power, and one assumes, to continue making sure hundreds of thousands more of us would die from his pet virus, was unceremoniously booted from the office he never wanted in the first place. One that a clear majority of the American electorate twice made clear they also preferred he never hold.

After the quotes from Milley surfaced, Turmp issued a lengthy statement attacking Milley. In the statement Turmp lied, “I never threatened, or spoke about, to anyone, a coup of our Government. So ridiculous! Sorry to inform you, but an Election is my form of 'coup,' and if I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley.”

CNN’s Jim Acosta

Somehow, the only regret Turmp expressed about his historically terrible, racist, authoritarian debacle of a single term was his response to protests in Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle on the heels of the murder of George Floyd, “I think if I had it to do again, I would have brought in the military immediately.”

I. Mangrey recoiling.

Thought For The Day

Fuck Joe Manchin

July 20, 2021

“There shouldn’t be a Democrat or a Republican that wouldn’t or couldn’t or shouldn’t vote for something that truly just only deals with voting, and the rights of voters.*
                                   Joe Manchin July 15, 2021

Though, as you will see I am clearly a bit upset or perhaps even angry, you might have to read between the lines to divine my true feelings.

Joe Manchin does not want fossil fuel supplanted by renewable energy.

Fuck.

Joe Manchin wants to destroy the environment.

Joe.

Joe Manchin does not want to tamper with the anti-democratic filibuster, which has been responsible above all else, with obstructing equal rights for African American people.

Joe Manchin does not want to help African Americans to be able to vote as easily as white people.

Joe Manchin talks a lot of shit.

Manchin.

Joe Manchin is Ratpublicans' favorite Democrat. That’s not a compliment.

Ratpublicans’ most beloved “Democrat” Joe Manchin

In case you missed the hidden message**:

Fuck Joe Manchin.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Just substitute Joe Manchin for Dan Quayle

*But he will not do one fucking thing to cause anyone to believe he means what he said. One cannot make such a statement and then refuse to over-ride the filibuster after every single Ratpublican did exactly what Manchin said anyone wouldn't, couldn't and shouldn't do...at least not without being full of shit.
**I'm sure you did not miss it; I just wanted to say Fuck Joe Manchin again. 

This has been your Paying Attention Thought For The Day.

You're welcome.

What is your Fuck Joe Manchin thought for the day?
