The fact that Senator Joe Manchin drives a Maserati & basically lives on his private yacht while his state is ranked the 2nd poorest state in the entire country shows exactly how disgusting & egocentric this guy is.
He doesn't give a single fuck about West Virginia or America.
As the entire globe scrambles to contain climate change Joe Manchin says on Fox News today
“My state has an ocean of natural gas. If they’d just let us build a pipeline…why don’t we do more drilling?”
Americans and the world will suffer the consequences of his insatiable greed
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has introduced the Stop Foreign Interference in Ballot Measures Act, which would prohibit foreign nationals from donating money to fund ballot initiatives and referendums.
The FEC is allowing foreign donors to finance ballot measures. Corporate lobbyists can't wait to travel the world and convince foreign dignitaries that pouring money into referendum campaigns is in their best interests. Where is everyone's Russian collusion-level outrage?
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1960: 37%
1970: 32%
1980: 20%
1990: 25%
2000: 20%
2010: 15%
2020: 13%
Is this what they mean by trickle-down economics?
For the record, I want to be wrong about Garland going forward. However, I cannot overlook the fact that he has taken no action on fully investigated matters to date such as Mueller obstruction, Stormy Daniels payoff, corrupt/narrow pardon recipients like Manafort, etc.
A coal baron from West Virginia who’s worth $8 million, lives on a yacht, and drives a Maserati prevents the rest of America & the world from having clean air & water
Says the billionaire tax is divisive
Opposes paid family leave
In WV, the average household income is $46,700
Cost for one vial of insulin in 1996: $21
Cost for the same vial of insulin in 2018: $320
What possible reason, other than greed, could there be for the pharmaceutical industry to raise the price of insulin by more than 1,400%?
It's time to end Big Pharma's greed.
.@Sen_JoeManchin and his wife make over $1 million per year (five times his Senate salary) from his family's COAL COMPANY while he sits as CHAIRMAN of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
How does that sit with you?
If Garland does not enforce the @January6thCmte subpoena w/ a criminal contempt prosecution soon, this would be the last straw for me. He must then resign or be fired for rank incompetence & weakness.
This was buried during the election frenzy but seems like a pretty big deal: the federal government will now allow foreign money to finance ballot initiatives, like redistricting, constitutional amendments and big policy changes

A deer entered a Colorado store.
The store owner gave him some food.
The deer left the store and returned after half an hour with all his family members.
