The OP enjoys being fucked by Manchin though.
So cute!

I'm not a fan of Manchin the politician. I do however think he's the best available that can cross party lines which is valuable. He has the ability to pull votes from Republicans and I cannot think of another Democrat who can.

He won’t get votes from Democrats outside of his home state as he is far too conservative. Democrats would stay home if Manchin were the nominee.

Even if Biden feels that way or even if you support that idea, you can agree that there's probably a better way to say that. Or not even say it at all, especially in such a perilous time like this where they cannot afford to lose a single vote this year or in 2024.


Always with the pants-crapping.

How many coal jobs are there in the US? Is it more than “who the fuck cares” or is it less than, “who the fuck still works in the coal industry”?



I’ll go with “who the fuck” cares for $500.

Not much. 90% was eliminated by automation from the 80's to the early 2000's. Then half went away due to coal being undercut by NG in the late 2000's. Now it's suffering more with renewables. Though the bulk of those jobs were lost a decade or more ago. Almost all mining is now performed mainly by machines.

But if they keep the faith and don’t let the tree huggers put in fancy pants regulations ALL of those jobs will magically come back.

The day nobody goes underground to mine coal will be a blessed day. Coal mining kills miners.

I think all of the forced-birth rape and incest babies should be sent directly to the mines and raised there, never to see the light of day.

It's what republicans demand, right? They can be satisfied that they never have to pay for these babies again, as they already wish anyway, and the babies can survive by their own bootstraps in the mines. Only the strong will survive, and continue to produce that blessed black material that they crave so much. This is absolutely everything that the GOP craves.

It's a win-win for the GOP. I don't see why this isn't added to all of their proposed rape-protection bills that they are trying to cram down our throats.

Manchin is a Republican in every way except who he caucuses with. He's a holdover from the days before Nixon made racism a cornerstone of the Repub's strategy for turning the southern states red and keeping it that way. He is a businessman of whom, along with his other like-minded corporate stuffed shirts have a tight grip over their dumbed down constituencies and exploits them for nothing other than personal gain.

"West Virginia is the fifth-poorest U.S. state, with a median household income of $51,615 and a poverty rate of 14.6%. West Virginians have the lowest level of higher education attainment in the nation, with only 23.1% of its residents holding a Bachelor's degree or higher." https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/poorest-states

There's a reason why that is and Manchin, being a significant influential figure in that state has a lot to do with that. He makes profit from having many of his low income voters dependent on federal welfare programs just like those other poverty stricken southern states that take in much more federal tax revenues than they contribute into while excoriating the federal gov't for butting into their profit making affairs.

Nice scam they got going on there.

Holy crap. I think you're onto something.

No. But he COULD turn in his D card and run as a sane R alternative. He would be better than Santis for sure.

He is a DINO. And you're mistaken if you think we need or want a Democratic candidate to cater to Republican policies. We're way past that. Republican policies, and many of Machin's policies, are bad for progress of the human race. Hillary won the popular vote. We just need Democrats to come out and vote. Overcome gerrymandering. Come out and vote.

That may not be a viable strategy after these elections.

1000% agree with The Manchins on this one. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Joe.

They don't call it Brainland America for a reason. Shut the fuck up.
