Thanks Joe. Appreciate any semblance of party unity from the Democrats.

He's a troll. Nobody wants the overly pushy polluter for president.

He's too Democrat for the Repukes and too much of a polluter and opportunist for the Dems.

He needs to retire and just disappear from public life.

He won't be missed.

Maybe Kyrsten will disappear too, after she loses.

She's just as forgettable.

More from the cited article...

... "I just don't think it's the right time," Manchin said. "We're on a real teetering situation here that could go either way. Democracy is at stake right now." ...

Well I guess MAGA Republicans are right we don't need a Border Security Bill after all.

What a relief!

Some people in this thread seem giddy about the Democrats losing a Senate seat, and are hankering for them to lose more.
I'm surprised they haven't already gone after the guy who replace Santos in the House.

Had he run as a third party candidate I would gladly vote for him over Larry and Curley. But he probably would have been assassinated befor3 the election.

Listen! Hear that?

That is the call of a common twice-voted-for-him yellow-bellied flying Trumpanzee in the wild.

Get your own babblefish.

I had to get one years ago to decipher your maga gibberish. I find I definitely need it for deciphering Robson, OneNut, Shrimpy, Clodhopper and a few others.

Funny I have one but when reading what those others say it just translates to derp derp derp. Bell it can usually handle, he's a step up from those others.

I usually get about 8 words in, scan down to "Posted by", and then move on.

After the Trumps "bust out" the Republican party, there will be a need for a 3rd party and Manchin might be a good fit in that new party.

My guess is your looking at the newest ambassador to France or England or Italy in the next Biden term.
