Should’ve paid attention to what Obama was juggling: Biden, Pelosi, Reid, McConnell, Tea Party, Birthers, Corporate Dems, GOP, Progressives, War Hawks. Obama should’ve taken the advice of Principal Joe Clark (“Lean On Me”) and told them all “Around here, I’m the HNIC!”
Hey cut ol’ Manchin some slack: He’s totally unfit to do any OTHER job, and he figured out how to win elections in West Vigin-eye-ay without getting his nose orange. If you were a politician (blch) from WVa (great scenery, independent people) wouldn’t YOU want to revel in the power if you ended up with leverage?
It’s not like he was gonna do his best for the nation or the state anyway.
Rob, you forgot the balls for COVID-19, the economy, immigration, the conspiracy buffs, that jerk who runs Russia, Iran, China…I’m glad someone is willing to do this job. I would die of high blood pressure…
The “chain saw” can safely be discarded – as long as we keep the legislation about the budget we don’t NEED republicans AT ALL! Manchin is nor really a problem, either – he’s just a “conservative-to-moderate” democrat such as we’ve had in the Democratic Party for decades – he’s always been willing to compromise, as far as I can recall.
And thankfully “Moscow” Mitch has already announced that no senate republican will vote for any of the Biden initiatives, so we don’t have to waste time courting that side of the Senate at all.

Don’t know why anyone wants the job, but I’m rooting for Joe. Biden that is not Manchin.

Manchin is the crap in the punchbowl.

I suspect the Prez has to be a master juggler, and so far I’m impressed.

The GOP is represented correctly, but the progressives should be a penknife. Made of rubber.

Looks like no matter the skills of the juggler, that little ball is gonna get hurt.

So let’s get this done, people!

Send a little pork to WV, that might help.
