Didnt you know that both he and Sinema are opera stars? Can’t you just hear them warming up (to screw us all)? Why, they’re both singing “me, Me, ME, MEEEEEE!!!!” at the top of their lungs.
Opensecrets.org is a useful place to see who gets funding and contributions from which groups, corporations, and individuals. Often it is very enlightening.
Does Manchin expect a personal mansion in Heaven for his legislative blocking efforts? More likely, a Tiny House in Purgatory. Or even more likely — a community Out House in Hades.
The last WV MetroNews West Virginia Poll in October showed the Democratic senator with 44 percent approval from likely voters and 44 percent disapproval, meaning both his approval and disapproval have declined.
A key figure here is poll respondents who said they were unsure whether they approved of Manchin. In October 2020, that figure was 13 percent but in the latest polling it had risen to 21 percent.
Manchin has seen a relatively steady decline in his approval rating since a WV MetroNews West Virginia Poll in 2019 found that he had 49 percent approval. He was reelected to the Senate in 2018 and will face voters again in 2024 if he chooses to run.
The senator, who is considered a moderate or conservative Democrat, has been a key powerbroker in the evenly divided Senate as the slim Democratic majority has pressed ahead with its legislative agenda.
Fireman Manchin isn’t alone. Not for fires, but for all kinds of social services, means testing is SOP, with almost all politicians. Gotta humiliate and annoy the hell out of the 99%, and especially poor people, y’know.
Mountainous West Virginia leads the nation in crippling flash floods risk from climate change.
FARMINGTON, W.Va. — In U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin’s hometown, a flood-prone hamlet of about 200 homes that hugs a curve on a shallow creek, the rain is getting worse.
Those storms swell the river, Buffalo Creek, inundating homes along its banks. They burst the streams that spill down the hills on either side of this former coal-mining town, pushing water into basements. They saturate the ground, seeping into Farmington’s aging pipes and overwhelming its sewage-treatment system.
Climate change is warming the air, allowing it to hold more moisture, which causes more frequent and intense rainfall. And no state in the contiguous United States is more exposed to flood damage than West Virginia, according to data released last week.
From the porch of his riverfront house, Jim Hall, who is married to Manchin’s cousin, recounted how rescue workers got him and his wife out of their house with a rope during a flood in 2017. He described helping his neighbors, Manchin’s sister and brother-in-law, clear out their basement when a storm would come. He calls local officials when he smells raw sewage in the river.
“These last few years here in West Virginia, we’ve had unbelievable amounts of rain,” Hall said. “We’ve seriously considered not staying.”

Not even in the bottom 50% of the Senate. Bottom 51%? Probably.

Manchin sounds just like a certain Orange skinned wannabe Fuerer. Except he’s not popular with either party.

Manchin loves his coal mines, hates the environment.
His daughter raised the price of the epipen by 600%
Insane greed at the expense of everyone else runs in the family.
He’s an honorary republican.

Manchun cares little for the people he pledges to serve. More proof that absolute corruption corrupts absolutely.

Ah Brian; you really do have re-capping down to a fine art; nailing it with every word and line of artwork. Dang this is good!
