Is Joe Manchin serious?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN

To hear Joe Manchin tell it, his life is really hard.

"This position, I guess, I wouldn't wish it on anybody," he told billionaire Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein Tuesday morning in reference to his role as the critical 50th Democratic vote in the Senate.

To which I say: Really?

What position would Manchin not wish on others? The one where he is -- almost single-handedly -- determining what makes it in (and what is left out) of President Joe Biden's massive social safety net bill?

A proposal to expand Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing? "Here's the thing. Mr. Manchin is -- is opposed to that," acknowledged Biden.

Free community college? "Here's the deal. Mr. Manchin and one other person has indicated that they will not support free community college," said Biden. (The "other person" is Arizona Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.)

1. So...he thinks his life is hard?

How about we tell him to STFU and have a look at what his actions are doing to the already hard lives of his constituents.

I don't think he has any idea of the hardships his actions are taking on those folks, and I also don't think he gives a damn.
