(3,989 posts)They are monkeys dancing for billionaires.
I understand Joe Manchin -- he has aways been the sma eself centered politician. Everything that he has done for his whole public life has been to increase the value of the family business and to stay in teh good graces of the coal and other meagdonors who have given him money. I don't agree with what he does, but I know what he will consistently do. Create loopholes that enrich the MAnchin family and do things that will help to keep him in power.
These other congress critters -- I am looking specifically at people like Schiff and Jefferies -- they are dancing the dance to protect their billionaire donors. Democratic leaning billionaires MAY BE SLIGHTLY LESS EVIL than Republican billionaire donors -- but no one, absolutely no one, gets to that kind of obscene without doing mauy things that are not either evil, immoral, or so sketchy that most of us with a moral compass would not do. These billionaires are trying to tank Joe Biden which will lead to a Project 2025 world.
They think that being rich, they will benefit from the tax breaks. They will be OK -- they are rich, many are white males. But they forgot the fundamnetal risk of allowing the face eating party to win. They will eventually eat your face and steal your wealth as well.
After these puppets of billionaires are silenced and hopefully Joe wins -- every single one of them should be stripped of leadership positions. You want to dance for the billionaires rather than Ridin' with Biden -- then enjoy the world of being a nobody in congress. Adam Shiff , enjoy your 6 years with crappy committee assignments until someone who actually cares about voters and not megadonors (i.e. Katie Porter) comes to primary you. Shumer, you will wish you get the reception of boos that accompanied McConnell at the RNC. You should be a pariah.
Do not defend these self serving asshats any longer.
