Manchin was on an interview with CNN a few months back and stated he votes yes or no because he doesn't let politics steer him. That's dishonest, he makes these protest votes entirely because of politics. He's only thinking of keeping his fricken job with these votes, NOT the good of the country!

(5,719 posts)Its best to leave him alone, with his protest votes to satisfy his states largely republican constituents.
If they were to get rid of him, Moscow Mitch will be more than happy to block all of the Biden agenda.

Neera Tanden exposed Manchin's daughter as a predator who directed the price gouging of consumers in need of the Epipen-- for corporate profit and for a huge increase in his daughter's salary. That's what Manchin's pettiness is all about.

(16,934 posts)Harry Truman wanted to punch a Washington Post music critic for panning his daughter's singing.
"In the 1940s, a new singer popped up on the scene in Washington. Her name was Margaret Truman, and she happened to be the daughter of President Harry S. Truman.
Paul Hume was The Posts music critic, and he became familiar with Miss Trumans, um, style. In 1947, he suggested that the soprano should refrain from public appearances for at least two or three years, during which time she should learn to sing properly.

Truman was famous for writing nasty notes/letters and then just putting them in a drawer, never to see daylight again. Certainly not like any recent politicians we've seen lately!
