      The usual gang of idiots will throw their hat into the ring and no one will care. I’m only sad Lyndon LaRouche isn’t around anymore to give it another go.

      Naturally it would be preposterous for him to be on the ticket for President, but the reason they continue to let him run for Congress is because he counts towards the Dems in terms of determining which party has the majority and therefore sets the agenda for that chamber of Congress. Without him, that particular part of WV would almost certainly go to the GOP and tip control of the Senate firmly in their favor.

      It’s a deal with a devil, and one that has burned the Dems more than once. But without him we’d probably be completely fucked.

      Can he BE more of a Russian asset?!?

      After this visit, I am even more convinced that defeating Vladimir Putin and ending his ruthless war against the Ukrainian people must remain our top priority,” said Senator Manchin

      Considering this statement, I’m not sure where you got the Russian asset thing from. Is it just reflexive to call people Russian assets who want to destroy Putin?

        Instead of what he says, look at all the fucked up shit he’s done over the past four years. Between Sinema and himself, who needs the Republican party to stonewall the Dems agenda?

        And his press releases are written by the ministry of information in Moscow. 😎
