He changed even though he was still dropping n-bombs on TV right up until his death.RaceBannon said:Wasn't the Klan Senator from West Virginia?
Other than his obvious use of a racial slur, as racists do, he did make a few good points about the race hustle grifters. It’s only become worse now, Bobby.

Maybe I could take this thought seriously if there was a hint of accountability. It’s shitty bipartisan bills that led to the frustration and anger of the right and left. It was bipartisanship that led to obscene corruption. Congress “at its best” is why we are here.GreenRiverGatorz said:
Bad take. Representing a poor state doesn't make one responsible for that plight.TheKobeStopper said:
Yeah he’s done great work for the poorest state in the country.GreenRiverGatorz said:It's still awfully warm for Manchin's next reelection in 2024, but he's someone who must feel awfully uneasy with where everything has gone. The blue dogs are damn near extinct, and the GOP hasn't made itself appealing at all for anyone with a moderate bent.
Frankly Congress could use a few more Joe Manchins.
You're also ironically touching on one of the reasons we need more legislators like Manchin. Congress at its "best" operated as a series of compromises and plurality-building, often through concessions to specific states that each Congressman traded on. That kind of regionalized process resulted in a legislative branch that actually legislated.
Contrast that with legislating done based on national party and ideology as the motivating factor, and the resulting mess it's given us.
Joe Manchin will vote for $2000 checks that would help the people in Kentucky if HE is given something. He’s a corrupt ghoul. -
He doesn’t want pork in the bill, that’s the point of voting no, but I would never expect you to get anything correct. So, you lie.TheKobeStopper said:

Not as difficult keeping track of the “rich” blue states such as NY and CA who are begging for federal taxpayer money to rescue their broken public pensions.TheKobeStopper said:
