a facemask that looks like a print from the Marvel superhero collection, toddler underwear.

(46,703 posts)The sadness is that our best hope is that he's a persona non gratis.
And, yes, I'm implying that he's a small man taking advantage of his 15 minutes of fame.

(11,010 posts)You're mocking him for wearing a mask. Just looking for an excuse to mock him? What is your point? Adults can't like comics? Adults shouldn't wear masks?
Or just taking a shot at a Democrat?
Because I don't see what his mask choice has to do with anything, other than proving that he takes COVID seriously.

(46,703 posts)He's a small man enjoying his pretense of power. If he was supportive of Democratic programs, we wouldn't be having this conversation. You may want to try to confuse the matter by introducing strawman arguments, but I'm not falling for it. Your concern is duly noted.

(11,010 posts)Like voting with Biden 100%.
Gotcha. DU is a big high school where we make fun of how people dress because we don't like them.
And Manchin isn't "My Guy". He's a Democrat who's vote we need, and who, so far, has shown that he is willing to vote with Biden all the time. Biden trusts him. Schumer trusts him. And I trust them. But people who aren't involved in the sausage making think he's a SEEKRIT REPUBLICAN.
Shows what you actually think of Democratic leadership if you believe Schumer and Biden are being taken in by him.

(16,095 posts)a Marvel mask is about the only endearing thing I've heard about Manchin.
Ever.
And, he's wearing a mask, so that's a good thing.
