Coal-Loving Joe Manchin Dooms Humanity To Please His Donors

Last week, Senator Joe Manchin effectively killed efforts by his own Party to help limit the amount of greenhouse gases that the United States is pumping into the atmosphere, a move that isn't surprising but it still dangerous. Manchin has decided that his own personal financial interest - and, of course, those of his donors - are far more valuable than having a habitable planet in the future. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Democratic Senator Joe mansion has made it very clear that he is willing to sell out future generations for his own personal financial interest. And of course the financial interests of his corporate donors, the Cole loving Joe mansion on Thursday formed the democratic party. That one he's not okay with any new, uh, renewable energy spending as part of the revived reconciliation bill that Democrats are trying to get through. Not happening. Joe mansion says, which of course effectively kills the legislation. He also says, hell no, you're not gonna raise any taxes on corporations here in the United States. Absolutely not under no circumstances, will we do this? So there goes that.

And in order to even get Joe mansion to that point where he was willing to talk, Democrats had already given up proposals, such as paid family and medical leave, uh, free childcare, free pre-kindergarten and tax benefits to low income Americans. Democrats already scrapped all that before even going to the negotiating table with Joe mansion. So in addition to losing those things, now, we've also lost any hope of moving this country to renewable energy. Thanks. 100% to Joe mansion. And I guess of course you gotta give credit to 100% of the Republicans in the Senate and no corporate taxes to help pay for these things that would help low income Americans all because of Joe mansion. So what do you do? What do you do with a guy like Joe mansion that dooms the future to a potentially uninhabitable planet, or at least with more areas uninhabitable than there are today? All because he wants more money. So what do you do with a guy like this? Well, if you have the Democrats, you don't do a thing. You just let him stay there. And he gets to do whatever the hell he wants acting as the defacto president of the United States representing 0.5% of the United States population dooming 332 million Americans. What do you do?

The answer's actually quite simple. You strip him of all his power in the Senate. You strip him of his, of his committee assignments. You take him outta the party. You cut him off from funding. These are things by the way, that should have happened at the end of 2021, right? When Joe mansion refused to extend those extended child tax credit payments to Americans in an election year, took money directly outta their pockets. He should have been stripped of his powers back then he should have been stripped of any aid coming from the national party back then, but he wasn't. Joe Manson is still a very powerful person in the United States Senate. And he should be made

To basically the Marjorie Taylor green of the Senate, right? She got stripped of her committee assignments. She has no real power. She can't direct conversations or negotiations in any way, do it to mansion, make his life hell because he's doing everything possible to make the future of the planet, a living hell. So I say he gets to spend his last few years in that Senate experiencing the kind of, I'd say horrible behavior that he's been dishing out for decades.
