Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
I love the smell of Joe Manchin in the morning … it smells like … victory.
If you survey the charred ruins of the progressives’ hopes and dreams, you will need to have a heart of stone not to burst into hysterical laughter at their pain. They were so close, so very close, and their heart’s desire was ripped from them by a senator from a sane state who had zero desire to commit ritual, political suicide to please the brother-curious likes of Ilhan Omar.
Cue the gif of a team of Joes carrying a coffin to that catchy EDM song. Savor. Taste their pain. Biden is broken, Schumer is humiliated, the “moderate” House Dems who Mistress Pelosi commanded to vote for this abortion are doomed in 2022, and somewhere, the Murder Turtle is smiling.
It’s absolutely perfect. And the best part is, while we patriots are full of Christmas cheer, this humiliating debacle is going to make this the Democrats’ worst Kwanzaa ever.
They got really mad at Manchin – who is no conservative – and called him a “liar” because he did exactly what he said he would do for six months. Only Democrats could consider someone else dishonest for refusing to conform to their pipe dreams. The fact is that the Democrats, starting with President Asterisk, thought that Manchin would cave if they just sent enough goons to shout slogans at his houseboat. Manchin is no sissy. These weasels are so used to pseudo-men who have never been in a fistfight that they think the whole world is full of low-T wusses who will fold the second some non-binary mutant starts literally shaking.
In the wake of this circus, you had a bunch of Hollywood liberals raging for the machine in puny frustration. Bette Midler, the quintessential Democrat constituent – an aging, lonely woman filled with bile because no man wants her – had this to say about West Virginians: “What #JoeManchin, who represents a population smaller than Brooklyn, has done to the rest of America, who wants to move forward, not backward, like his state, is horrible. He sold us out. He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out.”
Except those hillbillies broke you, Bette, which says what about you?
And Henry Winkler, usually an affable presence, suggested: “The Lincoln project should make a commercial letting West Virginia see what they WOULD have gotten From Build Back Better BUT their JOE said no. (sic)” The former Fonz seems to be unfamiliar with the Mountain State. Our Appalachian brothers and sisters are hardly going to get excited about being driven into poverty by the BBB’s climate hoax insanity just so some coastal swells can obtain indulgences from Gaia to excuse their private jets. And the sturdy, sensible folks of the hilltops and hollows are unlikely to be persuaded by the ravings of a pack of skeeves better suited to riding around in a panel van offering puppies and free candy to passing pre-teens.
In fact, Joe Manchin did a huge favor to his Democrat caucus. There are a number of Democrats who were terrified to vote for it and equally terrified not to. Joe took the heat, and a bunch of them facing tough races next year signed in relief when Joe drove a stake through BBB’s (and Biden’s) heart last weekend. The legacy media insists that the bill is super, ultra-popular, and it is … among the people that legacy media types talk to, which consists entirely of Democratic pols, Twitter blue checks, and other legacy media types. Among normal people, it’s legislative leprosy. And the Dem reps who now have to run on voting for it in swing districts know it. Thanks, Nancy!
This might well be the death knell for the entire Biden agenda, such as it is. His presidency is a total failure, with COVID still rampant, the border open, inflation, and international humiliation. It’s good that he is a failure. He’s a bad person pushing bad policies. He will go down in history as a loser, which is proper. He is a loser.
Will the Democrats, in their fury, drive Manchin out of their party? We should hope not. Better Manchin be Chuck’s problem than Mitch’s. The progressives will sputter and mutter in impotent fury about how now we’re even more doomed than before to a global warming apocalypse, and Maserati Manchin will rev his engine and laugh.
How apt was it that the West Virginian senator’s gift to Joe Biden and the rest of the Dems was a lump of coal?

The country is a gut shot elephant, dying of debt irregardless of whether you kill the poachers or not.
Remember the ones who own that debt are the ones who created it.
True, but the long term problem may be COLLECTING on it.
Democrats? Yes, they are evil personified! They need to be dispatched at once! Now on to the other half of the problem. Republicans, the aiders and abettors of the evil Democrats. They are only imperceptibly different. The UNIPARTY is all in for themselves and their personal agenda of wealth and power. The sheep/plebes are their source of riches. As we produce, they take. Inflation anyone? Is that helping fill your pockets or theirs? Shrinkflation, is it your friend or theirs? (Shampoo–old bottle 33.8 oz now 31.2 oz yesterday). That is 2.6 ounces less for a slightly higher price for the mathematically challenged. Anyone who believes their “party” is going to turn things around and make it 1953 again needs to contemplate the North end of a Southbound goat. My investment advice, beans and bullets.
The Dems used to be a sort-of-decent political party: Jefferson, Jackson, Bryan and States Rights. Unfortunately, around 1910, Wall Street realized that it had enough cash to afford two major parties… and they added the Democrats to their portfolio. The rest was history.
Even the first of the new ‘stooge Democrats’ (Woodrow Wilson) had misgivings:
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
I read the title as “dream of all the democrats dying….” I smiled.
Dream of both sides dying. We got a lot of terdz on the repugnant side, too.
Yea, he makes it sound like McConnell has our back. As he pulls the spring assist out of his pocket.
They have not made Manchin the right offer. He has said $1.75 Trillion is OK and if they were to chop some of the really far left fat and throw a few Billion$ more to WV, he would be more than willing to get behind it.
