Sarah Bloom Raskin has officially withdrawn her nomination to serve as vice chair for supervision of the Federal Reserve Board. She had floated in limbo for weeks after Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee boycotted her confirmation hearing.
Fucking Manchin.
That is all.
In episodes like this, you really despair for the country’s ever being able to come up with serious solutions to climate change.
"Effing Republicans, you know what part of the government takes climate change seriously, the fucking DoD. Yeah that’s right the DoD, the agency that gets billions is concerned about sea level rise, the effect of changing weather patterns across the globe which can and will create conflict over water, and loss of land for food production.
I’ve now reach that “Fucking Manchin” point with you @left_in_washington_state
manch is both shortsighted and self-serving. I eagerly await his irrelevance in a Democratic senate. Hopefully that will be cemented in November.
Manchin is intoxicated with his influence. He is relishing it to the detriment of the best interests of the country now and in the future. It is deplorable.
At what point do we get to seize Manchin’s yacht?
At some point Climate Change will be dealt with.
Or we will be.
And even the Right will pay attention.
Expropriation of his coal empire?
This is why it can be hard to recruit decent talented people because of pettiness like this. I’m sure he’ll go on the Sunday shows and feign faux outrage about the lack of bipartisanship.
Millions of brainwashed Christians see nothing wrong with climate change because they’re deluded enough to believe that JC is gonna turn the Holy Hoover Vacuum Cleaner on and rapture them to Hay-Venn.
They’ll get a rude awakening when that doesn’t happen.
DOJ should be looking at whether he’s getting Russian money.
The money is the drug. The influence is the mental illness that has him self-medicating.
It’s not only Boris Manchin. It’s Natasha Sinema as well who march lock step with Republicans to screw Joe and Kamala.
And with their dying breath the right will be blaming it all on the libs.
I want to be the president of the I Hate Joe Manchin Club.
seriously. I remember shortly after Biden’s inauguration when Manchin was stating in interviews that he wanted to make Biden’s presidency a success. Then a couple months later poof went that idea.
Well times have changed. Use to be politicians promised better things. Now it has to go to industry so they can provide better things. The only thing that changes is the wallets of the politicians.
Wait. Joe Manchin is a Democrat?
Really?
Does HE know that??
But his judicial votes!
He doesn’t seem to realize he sounds like a 5-year-old insisting all legislation come with a free pony.
