Yesterday, Joe Biden declared that all coal-fired electricity plants in the U.S would be shut down, saying, “we’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar.”
Today, West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin, the senator who gave Joe Biden the vote he needed for the ‘inflation reduction act’ also known as the climate change investment act that will eliminate all oil, coal and natural gas development, pretends to act surprised that Joe Biden will destroy the West Virginia coal mining industry.
Joe Manchin – “Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) released the following statement on comments President Biden made about shutting down coal plants.
“President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs. Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden and instead believes he does not understand the need to have an all in energy policy that would keep our nation totally energy independent and secure. It seems his positions change depending on the audience and the politics of the day. Politicizing our nation’s energy policies would only bring higher prices and more pain for the American people.
“Let me be clear, this is something the President has never said to me. Being cavalier about the loss of coal jobs for men and women in West Virginia and across the country who literally put their lives on the line to help build and power this country is offensive and disgusting. The President owes these incredible workers an immediate and public apology and it is time he learn a lesson that his words matter and have consequences.” (read more)
When words alone cannot do justice.
Take the blade off and just make it a pumpkin smasher / pulverizer.
Mess be damned.
This is probably one of the most blatant acts of Treason ive ever seen by a single individual being the visual representative of the crime. Of course, this is the crime of the New World Order Cabal but whatever deal they agreed to, Made Manchins the poster child for it.
Was another 10 to 20 years of a life of luxury on earth really worth it?
Agreed, but never forget the ultimate betrayal of Judas Pence.
NEVER!
Judas Mike Pence Joins Aaron Burr and Benedict Arnold, Part One
https://newswithviews.com/judas-mike-pence-joins-aaron-burr-and-benedict-arnold-part-one/
Would rather have Aaron burr
At least Burr only wanted to give away West Point, not the whole country.
he …DID RECEIVE COIN…from pelosi…..
I would never include Arnold with VP Traitor….Arnold fought for the cause, had honor, and loaned his PERSONAL fortune to the country before turning……….VP Traitor was disloyal from before he started and never had any honor or personal stake
I’m guessing it would take about 5 years max before the global council decides his carbon footprint in too big.
The Manchins of the country actually think they will be better under NWO. Its gonna be gruesome
Then you must have been sleeping through the Obama administration.
that was the work of many minds and many hands through many acts.
This is probably one of the most blatant singular acts of Treason ive ever seen by a single individual
“Let me be clear, this is something the President has never said to me.”
Shorter Manchin…in Latin
“Ergo te absolvo.”
(I absolve myself from any sense of duty or responsibility.)
Sounds so much better in a “dead” language. His phones must have been ringing nonstop.
These degenerate freaks have no idea what to do with all the money and power that they’ve accumulated over the years. Just look at Paulie Pelosi as the perfect example.
Here’s a guy who has it all. He’s married to one of the most powerful women on the planet. He has all the money and prestige that money can buy. Unlike the serfs, he has never had to worry a day in his disgusting life where his next meal is coming from or how to pay the bills. Paulie P. wants for nothing.
Yet there he was on a Friday night and all he could think of to do with his unlimited loot was to go to some gay dive bar and hook up with the weirdest freak he could find so they could get hammered. (whatever kind of deviant sex act that means, I have no idea.)
Not only is this perverted and disgusting- but it is extremely sad and pathetic.
In olden times during the Renaissance for example, the noblemen and women would commission beautiful works of art. They would build magnificent cathedrals or they would patronize musicians. They used their wealth for something higher than a literal roll in the mud.
Fast forward to the Year of our Lord 2022 and our Satanic overlords have no concept of such noblesse oblige.
They are so utterly debased and with such feeble imaginations, that the only thing that will satisfy their lust is some sort of sexual perversion that is just embarrassingly stupid and inane.
If anyone belongs in a mental institution, it is Paulie P. , not the freak he hooked up with.
What is the obsession with perverted sex that these elites have. Its bizarre.
No imagination.
The rich liberals now only donate to commission ugly modern public sculptures or brutalist buildings for ”artistic spaces” used by woke or BLM -La Raza modern dance, theatrical groups , and “artistes”(who have to alway showcase angry Yale/Berkeley lesbians smearing menstrual blood on things in a similar manner to arabs wiping their left hands on the walls of squat outhouses). They all appoint the same incestuous handful of “well-respected”academic art “historians” to sit on the local Art Commission Boards and hire the same academic architects who studied under the same Le Corbusier fanboy Professor as the donors barely remember the art history class they took to get an easy A at Brown, Barnard , or Yale. I am not kidding.
Nah! Hanging Rope and Scaffolding. Hanging is what is Proper and Hanging is what God Himself is referring to as Lately, he has been talking to His Servants about THIS being As The Days of Haman.
Haman and his sons built the very scaffolding in Haman’s own FRONT YARD which he intended to hang Mordecai on, for interfering in his plans to assassinate the King. And that was the scaffolding that Haman and his sons were executed on.
It was good enough for Mussolini and for Saddam Hussein.
Hanging is cleaner and not as given to maliciousness – but it is good sound Justice.
If we had a real Press/Media, this act of treachery would go viral everywhere.
.
Yep.
A bloody (only) head held by the hair is for those who think they are funny.
The above-pictured method is approved by the likes of Kathy Griffen . . .
Might need to bring back another American tradition – Tar and Feathers; maybe run them out of town on a rail road tie too.
Mussolini and his mistress died before a firing squad and then their bodies were hung in a gas station to be abused.
Robespierre leader of the French Revolution who was responsible the execution of thousands of people many of them innocent of any crime was himself beheaded on the guillotine in 1794.
Have you read what actually HAPPENED, during the French revolution?
NOT “pretty”, when they ran out of aristocrats to behead, the crowds demanded “MORE!” so they began beheading anyone even remotely associated with the aristocracy.
It was “mob rule”, as in lynch mob, and was hardly something to aspire to.
Respectfully, “those who not study their history, are doomed to repeat it.”
Ah yes, mob rule, democracy at its finest!
Don’t forget the 16 Discalced Carmelite nuns of Compiégne who were beheaded in rapid succession on July 17, 1794. They chanted prayers the whole time until the Prioress Mother Theresa (Madeleine-Claudine Lodiene) was murdered last. They bravely followed Christ and imitated him as they were cruelly butchered. They had prayed for the end of the Terror. Miraculously, the executions ended just 10 days later. I saw a French movie about this forgotten chapter of martyrdom and it was very heart-wrenching.
What a disappointment! I am shocked , I am shocked. What more I can say, I am just a taxpayer.

Democrats…. nuff said.
No, just typical Uniparty Congressional leadership deception, and it worked just like it always has.
Flipping the script on how R leadership dealt with Obamacare repeal, etc.
And nobody even notices how the D ‘leadership’ advanced a fillibuster repeal bill, and then killed it.
never in a billion billion years would I have guessed that….
Thanks to Sundance pointing out the ‘Pretending’ we won’t be fooled again. You see it everywhere.
Phony!
Once, now, and always!
THAT is funny as “That Hot Place way down Below!”
As he hands the worst of pyromaniacs an 18-Wheeler full of Matchs, saying, “Go play with these matches – but Be Careful! Don’t Burn The House Down!”
Manchin the Traitor
Joe Manchin is shocked, shocked I tell you, that gambling with America’s survival is going on at the White House!
Gambling is a term that accepts the result whatever happens. They bet on one option but accept the other option in betting.
These creeps are engineering the transformation. They are wrecking the destruction they want. They don’t accept any other results.
Round up the usual suspects…. Casablanca one of my favorite movies!
.
Where’s that picture of the two Joe’s fawning over Sen. Byrd?
Manchin needs to learn his lesson that his ACTS matter and have consequences . . .
He’s shocked! Shocked! To learn that Biden is planning to eliminate coal
Your winnings, sir.
Do you think the voters of West Virgina would finally learn how to “read” Manchin if we blanketed the state with clips of Lucy, Charlie and the football?
Don’t point to “the voters of west virginia”; instead look, hard at the Republican Party of West Virginia.
The voters are only responsible to the extent that they don’t purge the party of its RINO leadership, or foolishly throw away their political power by “proudly registering as Independant”.
again must we really remind those who seem to so easily forget…..D-O-M-I-N-I-O-N
“we’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar and pixie dust.”
Unicorn farts?
I seem to recall Mr. Manchin vehemently articulating that there would be “consequences ” if Mr. Schumer didn’t hold his end of the bargain.
Meh. Nothing happened.
Joe Manchin has watched Lindsay Graham make threats for decades and NEVER follow through on any of them and yet, somehow, he keeps getting re-elected.
It’s a big club and we ain’t in it – plain and simple!
re-installed.
Look to the R State party in S. Carolina, controlled by the Graham machine.
PURGE the State party of RINOS.
The consequences are that in January Schumer and McConnell smilingly switch places. That’s all that it is.
They are counting on that people forget what politicians say and do from one day to another. Let’s hope the West Virginians and everyone else in this country can remember and think rationally. That is anyone that even knows anything about it in the first place.
what a phony
he didn’t really need to “say” anything now did he JOE?…..you knew before your betrayal what the end result of the vote would be
Joe Blowhard (U WV) vs Joe Blowhard (Potato WH).
They and their families both win and the rest of the country loses.
“Let me be clear, this is something the President has never said to me.”
Sorry, fool, such needn’t be said to be seen; we all knew you were pretending to not see yourself being played as you betrayed America fully intending to be shocked shocked that you handed our energy future to monsters actively destroying America.
You are not and will never be forgiven.
He took lying lessons from Obama. “Let me be clear,”
Manchin takes the hit, having been assured he can retire to a cush job, and be ‘taken care of’, and so far Synema skates, being forgotten in the dust up.
He needs to go stand with the group of the unforgivens at The Atlantic.
Destroying livelihoods, destroying families whose well being depends on those livelihoods. It is beyond me how he dares to look in a mirror.
Contemptible, thy name is Manchin.
After stabbing the Citizens of West Virginia in the back, he suddenly realizes political career may be over.
Hoping to save his political career he pretends not to know the obvious.
Just remember Biden smiling and laughing with Manchin and handing him that pen he used to sign the bogus Inflation Reduction Act. Manchin is for Manchin not his constituents.
The consequences of the 2020 stolen election are that despots are now in control. And history has recorded that despots NEVER give up that control through “free and fair” elections. Thus, that power has to be taken by force. (The fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 was an anomaly–an outlier)
I guess its gonna require millions of Americans starving and freezing to death before it occurs to enough people what is required. Regrettably, by then it’ll be too late.
Too late squared.
I feel that your projections will not be addressed by most. But history has shown that blood will be shed to turn this around. The Soviet Union wasn’t a blood bath only because the fall of their empire was a head fake leading the west into a false sense of security. The ruthless bastards in Washington are driven to protect their death grip on our republic and will employ any means to stay in power. They have cheated to control us and will continue to act to protect their powers. That includes using troops and Leo ‘s to maintain the control.
Our enemy has openly stated their goal is depopulation.
U.S. lost more citisens, by far in the Civil war, than all others combined.
Those who dismiss the ballot box in favor of the ammo box, ignore my repeated requests to describe exactly how resorting to violence (the “2A option”) furthers our stated goal to MAGA, or does anything but further the goal of our enemy.
I am perplexed, ..
Tell how well that ballot box worked out in 2020. I would always pick voting over armed conflict. However, don’t be fooled, the left wants you dead.
You say the fall of the iron curtain was an anomoly.
Please list all of the instances in which tyrants have been successfully overthrown, by an uprising of the citisenry using force?
The Chech rebellion of 1956, against the Soviets,…er not so much.
Actually, I think it is the American Revolution that was the exception, and actually that was a revolt against an OCCUPYING tyranical govt. which is a horse of a different color.
–“Actually, I think it is the American Revolution that was the exception, and actually that was a revolt against an OCCUPYING tyranical govt. which is a horse of a different color.”–
I don’t know, Dutchman, my country is feeling like it is being occupied by a tyrannical government. And that not only feels ‘foreign’ to our way of life, it is also ‘revolting’ in nature.
And the best example of horses of a different color was in the OZ books, well, until now and we have an Oz running for the US Senate……….. Mmmm……What bark you, Toto? Is Manchin just another Congressional flying monkey?
Ok, can’t help myself, one more…….
–“Please list all of the instances in which tyrants have been successfully overthrown, by an uprising of the citisenry using force?”–
How about Custer’s last stand? <smiles>
Course, a more recent example might have taken place in the town of Athens in Tennessee by veterans who rose up against tyranny in a rigged election. I’ll gladly note that they did use the ballot box first, but when that did not solve the problem, the ammo box was reluctantly brought out to right the injustice.
You are absolutely right, Dutchman, that violence is not THE answer. But it is sometimes ‘an answer’ when necessary against a violent usurper force when all else has failed.
The French Revolution comes to mind. Castro’s takeover of Cuba, and then the revolving dictatorships in Africa and South America are also examples. You asked for examples, not acceptable outcomes.
But what made the American Revolution special was that its leadership was not intent of ruling through the power of monarchy or oligarchy, but genuine democracy. It was a citizen-lead revolt lead by elites who shared their citizen’s goals.
Now, if you think the non-violent examples of Gandhi in India and King in the American South is the way to go, then let me remind you of something.
The brutal imperialists of the British High Command, and the violent racists of the deep south both prayed to the same God, both had, in spite of their deep moral failings, a soul and a conscience. And it was that presence of conscience that eventually shamed them into accepting the inevitable without resorting to the most extreme means of enforcing their control.
Yes, the redneck southern racists used violence for a time, but this receded after the visual images of their brutality on TV shocked a nation and shamed the racists into retreat.
Now, do you think Deep State barons and demonic media orcs worship any god other than themselves? I contend they worship no god, and in fact, they have no soul. Thus, they cannot be shamed because the soul-less have no conscience.
Moreover, do you think non-violent resistance will be broadcast in a sympathetic way to millions of Americans? More likely of course, will be that narratives, memes and story-lines are developed, spun and reported to cast non-violent resisters as nothing more than murderous, violent thugs intent on over-throwing a democratically elected government?
In fact, we already have an example: The January 6th protesters.
BTW, the FBI is STILL going thru video feeds to identify every single person who attended the rally, not just those who entered the capitol. The purpose is that if no means to manufacture a charge upon which to arrest attendees can be found, then neighbors and employers will be alerted in order to cause societal ostracization, or jeopardize employment.
I think you need to rethink who–or perhaps what–we are dealing with.
A lying POS, just like biteme.
You really think ge gives a damn. Filthy rich liar con man , how could he still be in office. Think his daughter is also in the game. The entire family is evil but they will continue to go to the best restaurants and spa. God I do hate them and may God understand but I truly hate the evil Dems.
His wife is in the game also.
Is Joe Manchin going to blame his vote on his staffers not reading and correctly interpreting the measure he voted on?
Don’t you hate politicians? They have no honor and are completely untrustworthy.
“This is the reason the American people are losing trust in Biden”?????Who the hell ever trusted him? Manchin is the ultimate POS. Like to know how much he was paid to betray his country.
I’m thinking the Chinese will keep the mines open for exporting coal to their mainland.
Between the border and no drilling, no one is helping save this Country. God help us
Joe Manchin is scum. Always has been and I’ve been saying it for years here and on other sites warning about this three faced “beechnut”. (a face every way you turn him)
I don’t believe that “pretending not to know” or pandering to the voters in WV with a stern letter is going to save “How Low Will You Go Joe” Manchin’s political career. The senator Scummer sellout cooked the “good ole boy” in WV.
Here is a good example of the “good jobs” that Joe Manchin and the rest of these open border politicians of the Uniparty are bringing to WV with their “tax incentives” scam. I guess Joe “pretends not to know” about this happening in Hardy County WV where 18 different languages are spoken at home in the county. This is courtesy of Pilgrims Pride chicken plant in Moorefield WV. https://www.wvpublic.org/news/2019-08-15/the-poultry-plant-thats-changed-the-face-of-this-appalachian-town
Like Stevie said, “That’s a Coal Shot”.
I quote from Rock ‘n Roll memory. So don’t quote me.
Or Manchin, evidently.
“Whichever way the wind is blowing at the moment”
Like I said above. Manchin is a “Beechnut” that has a face any way you turn him.
‘There be gold in them thar
hillswinds’!I predict Manchin, being hopelessly cornered and exposed despite the best efforts of the Cabals media running cover, to become the next Liz Cheney. No need to pretend anymore.
Manchin had his chance to contain the radicalized children, and instead he let them ruin the economy all that much more. Manchin is part of the problem, no matter how much he tries to claim he’s a victim.
What I find interesting; while this is obviously contrived, this is one of the very few, if not ONLY examples of a D politician being openly critical of Biden and his policies.
Given the obvious MEGA, MAGA shellacking the D’s are about to experience, you would think there would be SOME D Politicians questioning this hard, radical leftward charge if the party.
Carville spoke out, awhile back, and was silenced for speaking common sense.
Bill Maher is still on the air, and while an avowed leftist, regularly calls out the practical stupidity,..
Where are those within the party, expressing any concern for “ideological purity tests”, or seemingly even aware the party is driving itself, politically off a cliff?
Are they so clueless that NONE of them sees whats coming, or are they intimidated into silence by the threat of the kind of ostracism Dershowitz has voiced?
So he was quoted accurately and he’s not sorry.
Exactly.
Waiting for the back track on this…
Former U.S. President Barack Obama on Saturday sharply condemned “big celebrities” for posting antisemitic conspiracy theories, alluding to recent controversies centering around Kanye West and Kyrie Irving.
“It’s not just politicians. Whether it’s out of malice or ignorance, we’ve seen recently big celebrities re posting vile, antisemitic conspiracy theories online,” Obama told a Pennsylvania rally in support of Democratic Senate candidate/ vegetable John Fetterman.
“You don’t have to be a student of history to understand how dangerous and unacceptable that is.
I don’t know when we decided we were going to believe everything we read on the internet,” the former president told the Pittsburgh crowd.
“Here’s a tip: if you read or see something online that has some grand theory about how some particular group – whether black folks or white folks or Jews or Catholics or immigrants or gays – if it says they are the cause of all your problems, it’s safe to say it’s garbage, a lie, dangerous poison,” he continued.
“We have to call it out and put an end to that kind of mindset.
But unfortunately it seems that this kind of poison gets more and more attention,” Obama added.
While he’s at it, can he explain what a “typical white person” is?
This is political GOLD, watch the GOPe Not use it.
Usually politicians of his ilk use the patronizing term “folks” to appear to be chummy with whatever their concept is of the average American voter, white or otherwise. Every time I hear that, I stop listening.
I notice he left out politicians being the cause of all our problems.
So, Barack, how does that square with both of Bidens recent hate MAGA speeches?
Isn’t Joe doing EXACTLY what he is describing?
Singling out a group “MAGA Republicans” and saying THEY are the cause of all our problems?
Oh, but thats DIFFERENT.
They are stumbling, fumbling and grumbling and are going to fall.
It is proven time and again they can’t stop themselves, the past couple weeks have repeatedly shown it to be true with what is going on with Kanye.
Elon and the round ball guy are in the cross hairs this week.
Who’s (next) is not on first they’re in the get battered box. The thing is whom ever it turns out to be, they don’t even have a clue right now.
Chuckle for tonight from Kid Rock—Maga American…
Kid Rock slammed television icon Oprah Winfrey on Saturday and called her a “fraud” after Winfrey endorsed the Pennsylvania Senate campaign of Democrat John Fetterman over his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, whom Winfrey has known and worked with for decades.
“Oprah helped Dr. Oz with his career,” Kid Rock tweeted Saturday in a post that was retweeted over 10,000 times.
“I assume because she vetted him and found him to be a wonderful person.
Now she is against him. Oprah is a fraud. -Kid Rock.”
West Virginia, and tangentially others wanting to avoid tricks;

jm agreed to
vote for for build back better / green new deal legislation.
Article:
https://www.gp.org/manchin_agrees_to_a_gnd
[ begin excerpt from article ]
Senator Joe Manchin, in a stunning reversal, announced today that he is selling all his holdings in coal companies and wants to replace President Biden’s Build Back Better proposal with a more robust Green New Deal.
“I finally got around to reading the reports from the IPCC and I was stunned to learn how fast climate change is occurring. My ten grandchildren also really opened up my eyes about the need to give their generation a chance for a decent living. It is never too late to admit that you have made a mistake,” said Manchin.
Manchin said he was also convinced by the coal miners’ union, which for the last year have been calling to move away from coal and other fossil fuels in exchange for a “true energy transition” that includes thousands of jobs in renewable energy.
Manchin sheepishly admitted,
“while I have been telling the American people for the last two years that I was fighting for the people of West Virginia, the reality is that most voters in my state actually wanted me to support investments in renewable energy
as a way to produce good paying jobs while curbing extreme weather.”
Manchin said that while he would vote for the present Build Back Better legislation,
he said he planned to ask Senator Schumer to move a much larger climate and social justice funding bill along the lines of the original Green New Deal proposed by the Green Party back in 2010.
[ end excerpt from article ]
“prove all things,
hold fast to that which is good.”
Thessalonians 5:21
i.e.
As Grandpa said ” do not take any wooden-nickels”
Love thy neighbors
Manchin was convinced by the coal miner’s union…… to move away from coal…..
Would that be the same coal miners union, the UMWA, that the Democrat radical crook Cecil Robert leads?
The same union that only represents a very small minority of the remaining coal miners in America.
The same union that “squandered” a once self sufficient Pension fund to “critical” status where the U.S. Gubmint has to subsidize the remaining pensioners and widows promised pensions and health care?
Ask a group of WV or Ky coal miners if they want to join the UMWA and see what happens. You had better have a good set of ear plugs from all the cursing, name calling and yelling you will receive and a fast pair of shoes to get away before you get your a** beat.
Is that the coal miners union you are talking about out of touch Joe! The one that has very few members, represent very few jobs and are broke because of incompetent and corrupt top “leadership” ? Yeah Joe, that one.
“Let me be clear”…is ALWAYS followed by a lie!!!
“That’s not who we are” is always preceded by one.
so is “not a joke”….it will be one of his fanciful folksy tales that have no basis in reality
“A threat to our democracy” actually means it’s something good.
I guess manchin’s energy deal with schumer isn’t binding on joe Biden
Really? Has Joe Manchin always been so gullable as to believe that Biden wasn’t going to shutter the coal industry?
This has been the holy grail for democrats since Obama was in power. Oops, I meant to say Susan Rice.
Oh, is she back.
Damn, it is so difficult to see whose pulling FJB’s strings.
Did you guys know there was just released a “1,000-page report” on the “politicization” of federal law enforcement?
Yeah, me neither. But I bet you could tell me what Depapes favorite color underwear is…..
“America is no longer a country where citizens are afforded equal justice under the law, as guaranteed by their Constitution, because the nation’s top law enforcement agency has been corrupted by politicized leadership and a “woke, leftist agenda” being imposed from the top, Republican lawmakers have claimed.”
News Flash: https://www.rt.com/news/565977-fbi-corruption-report/
14 Inside Whistleblowers Expose Extent of FBI Corruption….crickets
“Quite simply, the problem — the rot within the FBI — festers in and proceeds from Washington,” the report said. “The FBI and its parent agency, the Justice Department, have become political institutions.”
The report detailed such abuses as a secret partnership in which the FBI receives private information on conservative users from Facebook, without seeking their consent or going though the legal processes that would normally be required to tap such data.
FBI was plagued by a “systemic culture of unaccountability,” as well as “rampant corruption, manipulation and abuse.” The agency’s shift toward “political meddling” has allegedly pulled resources away from legitimate law enforcement duties. For instance, one whistleblower claimed that he was told after the January 2021 US Capitol riot that child sex-abuse cases were “no longer an FBI priority and should be referred to local law enforcement agencies.”
Actually, thats a GOOD thing.
When State Governments tell the FBI to vacate the State, there won’t be any “ongoing investigations” the State will need or want FBI “help” with.
In the case of kidnappings, for example the State or local authorities have to ASK the FBI for ‘assistance’ the FBI can’t just force their way in.
I’m not going to criticize Democrat Senator Manchin for brutally attacking Democrat Biden three days before the midterms. I like it.
It’s Manchin’s job as a West Virginia Senator to represent coal miners in Washington.
Evidently he doesn’t understand what his job is and needs to be recalled and replaced.
Money talks and bullshit walks.
Oh, looky! Here’s Joe Manchin pretending to be a moderate again.
But if Traitor Manchin had not gotten the bill passed his wife cushy federal commission she co chairs would not have gotten ONE BILLION dollars. I mean come on guys, he has to look out for his family. https://gazette.com/politics/infrastructure-bill-includes-1b-for-commission-run-by-joe-manchin-s-wife/article_a1d6b40e-e655-5308-a5b0-7575e9cb1f1a.html
Joe Manchin is to the Democrats what John McCain was to the Republicans…someone who pretends to be a “thoughtful” moderate, able to “reach across the aisle” thus drawing praise from all sides of the Uniparty as well as the MSM.
In reality, both men are/were opportunistic shysters who would stab their own mother in the back if there was a buck in it (and/or a positive piece about them in the NYT ) and then be absolutely “shocked” when she dropped dead in front of them!
Bill Clinton was the pro at “triangulation” and I suspect that Manchin is hoping to position himself in the same way that Billy Jeff did when he hit the national scene. The American people are, rightly, horrified by the dumpster fire of an agenda that the Progressive Left has imposed by fiat in the past two years and Manchin is now trying to capitalize on that. And sadly, many people will be drawn to someone like Manchin who speaks as if he is a centrist but will govern just as the Left wants, exactly like Clinton did…
joketato says we want more shenanigans, not less.
I can only say 2 days before (s)election…..f*ck them all……
I agree its possible they THINK, after all this that the Dem party can somehow “unjump the shark” but only because they are totally out of touch with reality.
I just don’t see it happening.
Pretty much all anyone needs to know about Joe Manchin is that he’s all about the money.
Years ago he started a company, now Enersystems, that recovers waste coal (also known as ‘gob’) from abandoned mines. His company, now I believe in a blind trust but run by a family member, sells this product to the only company left in WV that burns waste coal, Grant Town.
Grant Town has one customer, First Energy Corp., which is locked in until 2036. As governor of WV, Manchin and cohorts interfered to keep the plant open by raising energy rates. WV citizens are paying sky high rates to enrich Manchin. Their increases have been around 5x the national average.
There’s a bunch of other hanky panky: Manchin got the WV legislature to classify waste coal as alternative energy (so it’s in the same category as wind and solar) and give tax breaks to power plants that burn waste coal (there were 3 in the state then, now only Grant Town remains). His infrastructure bill which Biden signed increased federal funding to clean up abandoned mines of waste coal and other contaminants, which is what his company does.
Enersystems trucks are never empty. They deliver waste coal to Grant Town and then haul away toxic coal ash. This highly toxic ash (a product of burning waste coal) is loaded with high levels of metals that cause harm to humans, animals and the environment.
Manchin has fought against attempts to classify coal ash as a hazardous material and the regulations re storing, transporting and disposing of it if it was classified as such. Those possible regs would be disastrous to his company’s bottom line.
Conflicts of interest? Yes. Any lawmakers objecting? No.
I have (very easily) predicted that the goal is complete government-control over energy production, and nationalization of all industries of any kind, the beginning of the U.S.S.A.
Here is one analysis:
“...Nationalization…
Windfall profit taxes are already on the way in Germany, 90% of all profits taxed away to the state. Energy production, when that bill passes, will be nationalized in Germany. The end of rational energy pricing will be gone.
Germany will become another energy subsidizing hellscape like we see all over the world….
Today here in the US the Democrats are pushing for outright nationalization of all oil and gas production. That was the goal all along, the thesis. The fake antithesis is the “Drill baby, Drill,” crowd on Capitol Hill, crying crocodile tears over the loss of the Keystone XL pipeline for more than a decade.
The synthesis this time around will be finally getting through their long-sought after billionaire’s tax in the form of a windfall tax starting with evil Big Oil.
Even if they don’t get it, it’s not like they don’t have other things on their to-do lists to get it done.
They are starting here again because they know no one will seriously consider outright nationalization (the next synthesis) unless there’s a war with Russia…”

At least one of Manchin’s staffers knew this was going to be the case when I left a voice mail at his DC office right after Biden was elected and again this past May.
Our Treasurer fighting ESG, our Attorney General, heck even Big Jim Justice has said this would happen. But heck, Manchin sure got us his gas pipeline nobody wants. Nobody on the mountains, nobody here in my county but the current mayor of one town and a corrupt real-estate broker wants this thing. It is bad enough the DC people are moving here.
Interior WV needs those jobs. I think we have 2 more years of this clown. He did a great job leading as governor when those miners were trapped and now we cannot get rid of him. Any one who wants him to switch parties needs his or her head examined.
The purest opportunism always knows which way the wind is blowing.
Sometimes the wind blows from the north-south and the east-west.
Manchin is part of that exclusive group of politicians whom both his own party,
and the opposing party
loath.
The Turtle abides.
Joe Manchin has always supported the destruction of the coal industry. Manchin supported Biden for president in 2020. Joe Biden was just saying the quiet part out loud. It’s not new. It’s the same thing Hillary said out loud while campaigning in WV with Joe Manchin standing by her and supporting her for president in 2016. It’s the same thing Obama said out loud and Joe Manchin continued to support him for president in 2012.
Joe Manchin is a proven liar and proven loser.
If there is a red wave and the republicans take over both chambers the biggest surprises will be what the current congress does after the midterms. At the very least they will continue to fund the agenda before the new congress convenes. The globalist uniparty has nothing to lose. And should the republicans win both majorities the uniparty wins and the globalist agenda continues after the new congress convenes. Albeit at a slower pace. We may run out of popcorn before it’s to late.
Of yes, Joe’s the Great Pretender . Perhaps Manchin hopes to be nominated for an Academy Award.
