This Truly Horrible Human Being Is Still At It – Helping To Destroy What’s Left of American Democracy
Right-wing Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia confirmed that he is opposed to the Women’s Health Protection Act just hours before a planned Wednesday vote on the legislation, spoiling his party’s attempt to codify abortion rights into federal law before the U.S. Supreme Court’s right-wing majority has a chance to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Manchin previously helped kill the House-passed bill—which would enshrine patients’ right to receive legal and safe abortions and healthcare professionals’ right to provide them—in February, joining all Senate Republicans present to block the measure before it even reached the floor.

Being Manchin
No doubt coal multi-millionaire senator Joe Manchin these days sees himself as some sort of demi-god. And why not. Since the election of Joe Biden, the Democrat of West Virginia has killed more of the Democrats’ agenda than Republican senate leader Mitch McConnell; now that’s power.
However, strip away delusions of deity and Joe Manchin is just another piece-of-shit politician looking out for only himself. When you destroy efforts to eliminate child poverty, you are immediately among the lowest of the low. You’re not a god, demi or otherwise. You’re not a champion of and for ‘the people’. You’re not a shinning example of a good person in politics, or life. You are, though, just a piece of shit.

How Joe Manchin killed Biden’s child tax credit via MSNBC
Under [President Joe] Biden, Democrats conducted the most effective attack on child poverty in American history. Manchin all but single-handedly destroyed those efforts when he killed the Build Back Better plan.
The loss of Biden’s expansion of the child tax credit resulted in an increase in child poverty by something like 41 percent. When the expanded tax credit was implemented, child poverty fell to just 12 percent – the lowest figure in American history
Manchin reportedly hated this particular part of the Biden child tax credit, telling colleagues that recipients would spend the money on drugs instead of child care.

Corporate donations to Sen. Joe Manchin’s PAC surged as he fought President Biden’s agenda
West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin’s political action committee saw a surge in corporate contributions this fall, ahead of his decision to oppose – and apparently kill – President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion social safety net and climate-change bill.
Manchin’s leadership PAC, Country Roads, received 17 contributions from corporations in October and 19 last month, according to a CNBC analysis of Federal Election Commission filings. None of the four months prior to October saw as many corporate contributions.
