1. Correct me if I'm wrong

But did one of his kids have a job in the previous administration? Or some type of political job?

11. Biden just hired his wife for a six figure job

His daughter works for big pharma and is behind the price gouging on EpiPens.

Fire his wife and prosecute his daughter.

[Bluepinky]

14. His daughter is Heather Bresch, CEO of Mylan, a pharmaceutical company.

It raised the price of EpiPens by 400%. She got a 5 million dollar raise in 2018.

2. We wants to have a chance to get re-elected.

If he votes for it, WV will be awash in campaign money telling the folks there how Joe likes black people more than them

5. He's probably going to lose anyway.

In 2018 he barely won. Even if he switched to the Republicans party, he’d lose the primary because he twice voted to impeach the dumbass. So, he should do the right thing. He probably won’t though.

6. You are right. He probably will lose.

He only has millions of dollars in lobbying consulting and speaking fees to look forward to.

[Elessar Zappa]

8. Oh, I'm sure he does.

Must be nice to throw away democracy knowing he’ll be ok either way.

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. His career ends in 2024. Nt

3. Here we are in the throes of white domestic terrorism..

and Manchin turns out to be a Republican in Dem clothing.

Our country is now in the throes of the overwhelming longlasting reach of white domestic terrorism.

It stretches from the assassination of Lincoln, to the police state assault on people of color, and now to the halls of state legislatures across the country seeking to quell Democratic votes so that Nazi-like rulers will take over and mount an assault on both people and everything we hold dear.

Our democracy will not survive this, and neither will the planet.

BTW, this is not hyperbole.

[PortTack]

9. I for one will NEVER say will we not survive! That is just too defeatist

[ananda]

15. Yes, I've been doomy for awhile now.

These two years are just a short reprieve in my view.

You tell me how Reeps don't win the house in 2022
and then I might agree with you.

[walkingman]

4. I blame country music.

[underpants]

7. 😆😆😆😆😆

A classic response.

You know, with technology going the way it is it won’t be long until we get a country song about the truck leaving him too.

Gad damn that John Denver!!!
