'These days, the West Virginia corporate Democrat is mad—in both senses of the word.'
These days, the West Virginia corporate Democrat is mad—in both senses of the word. First, he's mad at Reps. Pramila Jayapal, Raul Grijalva, Ro Khanna and other gutsy progressive members of the U.S. House. They rose up against their own Party leaders this month to kill Manchin's corrupt, backdoor effort to force his massive Mountain Valley Pipeline project down the throats of rural and small-town people in his own state.
His latest gambit was to hide the MVP scam in the humongous $850 billion military budget, hoping no one would notice. But Jayapal, Grijalva and a few other progressive leaders did notice... and they had the chutzpa and the votes to strip it out of the Pentagon bill. This drove the plutocratic senator from being mad to going mad . The defeat of his political scheme, he wailed, was the result of"toxic tribal politics," adding:"This is why the American people hate politics in in Washington."
Get a grip, Joe! You're the one in Washington sneaking around to help the superrich corporate tribe rig government rules to extract more profit from actual toxic contamination of people, whole communities and Mother Nature.
