Good morning! You remember Senator Joe I’m-Really-A-Republican Manchin? The West Virginian coal-induced wealthy guy who lives on a big boat when he is in Washington, D.C. I thought it was because he wanted to show off how rich he was — floating his own hotel up the River Styx. But now I realize that he needs that built-in moat to protect himself from very disgruntled Democrats.
Yes, once again he negotiated for months, squeezing the good-faith negotiators of President Biden’s legislation down to bare bones. Then, he stood up and walked away. I wonder how well he sleeps at night. Not due to undoing his party’s chances to win in 2022. No, he doesn’t care about that. Just wondering what his fellow Dems might do to him when he is asleep.
As they say in D.C., if you want a friend get a dog. But I hear all of the dogs turned Manchin down, too. Ah well. Maybe he should take up a hobby. I don’t know, like Vodka?
Enjoy your day, My Friends!
