This from Manu Raju, the CNN correspondent this morning.
“Just asked Manchin if he expects a deal out of the White House meeting today, and he let out a big laugh and walked into the chamber.”
I know we need his vote to keep the Senate in (nominal) Democratic hands but Joe Manchin is more despicable than any of his GOP Senate colleagues. After all, they are Republicans following the dictates of their fuehrer. But he, a Democrat, more than even Mitch McConnell, holds the future of the Biden administration and even of the republic in his hands.
And he laughs. What a pig. (A rich pig thanks to being on the take for decades).
