  1. You’re a bit slow on the uptake there, Joe. Trump has been openly promising this for some time now. He voters love it.

    Unless you’re promoting it as a good thing? As a reason to vote for Trump?

  2. Prepping for a run to take votes away from Biden, Joe?
    DINO

  3. We know, we know… but media won’t stop giving Trump airtime and no wors on the 70 million people that didn’t vote last time

  4. “Hi. My name is Joe Manchin. Some people call me Coalfinger, because I make a lot of money from coal. You may also remember me from the time I plunged millions of children back into poverty.

    So anyhoo, I’m really worried about this Trump guy winning. And you know what I think? I think I’m the guy to beat him in 2024. Sure, Joe Biden already beat him, and sure, I’m losing by 40 points to a Republican in my own state, but … I’m telling ya, I’m the guy.

    I just know that liberals, the majority of the electorate, are going to turn out in droves to vote for me, a coal baron.”

  5. …He also promises to hunt down anyone that he dislikes. Like, full on purge shit, with no subtly or attempts to hide it.

  6. Heartbreaking: Worst person you know makes a great point

  7. >and so, as a dirty coal baron, I pledge to do everything in my power to help him

  8. “And that’s why I’m running against Biden to try and help Trump out” – Manchin

  9. Thanks, Joe, for helping in that quest by blocking popular legislation that would have directly benefited people and made this election a runaway for Biden.

  10. So in response to this Manchin is giving up a Senate seat that will most likely end up being occupied by a Trump acolyte.

  11. > Trump ‘Will Destroy’ U.S. Democracy

    lol

    It hasn’t recovered from Nixon’s pardon yet, much less Bush’s 2000 appointment by the SC.

  12. A tangible thing you can do today is to leave a public comment on a new proposed OPM rule that would protect civil servants from partisan retribution:

    Here’s a bit more about the rule: https://www.axios.com/2022/07/22/trump-presidency-schedule-f-federal-employees

  13. If Manchin runs as a third-party candidate, it could gift the Presidency to someone he believes will harm democracy by taking votes from Biden.
    But he will do it anyway, because he is all about Manchin, not the US

  14. I think his assessment is accurate about risk to democracy – small d – if trump is re-elected. I think his belief that the American people are jonesing for a Manchin POTUS is not accurate.

  15. Yes, we all know Capt Fats Hamburger will destroy everything, tell us who in power will stop him?

  16. As a West Virginian who always voted straight Ticket democrat, thank you Senator Manchin for all you’ve done to make me feel like me vote was wasted.

  17. Which is why he’ll be running a spoiler campaign to elect him

  18. Good, America deserves to be destroyed after Supporting Netayahu Genocide in Gaza. Time to live under a trump led dynasty for the 100 years.

  19. If he cared about Democracy, he’d stay in the Senate.

  20. We know you helped screw everything over Joe, it’s on you.

  21. Nobody cares what Manchin says. He is part of the problem not the solution.

  22. “Trump will destroy democracy of he wins in 2024. I, on the other hand, will lovingly sell it off, piece by piece.”

  23. Joe, you and Cinnamon Spice from Arizona have been Trump enablers. Sit down.

  24. “And I will do my best to make that happen,” he added.

  25. If he actually makes it to election night I will
    Be terrified

  26. “But corporate interests line my pockets, so I don’t really care to stop him”

  27. So he will run as an independent increasing the chance of Trump winning. Got it.

  28. It’s a weird day when this asshole starts making sense again. What’s his endgame here?

  29. Can we please collectively agree to completely ignore the comments of retiring politicians who never did or said anything helpful while they actually had the chance? Fuckn sick of articles like this.
