Don’t be so sure about that. There’s always a Clarence Thomas, a Tim Scott, a Winsome Sears, or other minority person waiting in the wings to allow white people to do whatever they want as long as they themselves gain either power or money. (As Sinema proved, it’s not hard to pretend to be a Dem for electoral purposes, then immediately switch to governing as a Republican Lite.)
Why can't Biden break this guy? Biden either signs BBB or an executive order forbiding senators from owning coal companies. Remember the smoke being blown up our ass that Biden was going to be the next FDR and LBJ combined?
I concur with vehemence that the GOP is filled with mindless soulless inhumane destroyers comparable in character and motives to the T-800. Descending to the trivial and geeky, though, I was always irked by the unstoppable robot killer in that movie being a huge mean highly conspicuous bloke who drives big macho trucks through the front of cop shops, shoots up the cop shop with a big macho machine gun, commits assault and larceny, and generally fails to keep a low profile as it pursues its deadly mission.I know. The mugs want havoc and mindless mass shooting. Give 'em what they want.I still keep wistfully remembering an old story by Eric Frank Russell, which featured an unstoppable robot assassin who was unstoppable precisely because he was unobtrusive, looked like an ordinary nondescript dude, and didn't pack firearms. He could emit ultrasonics that caused fatal brain hemorrhage. All he needed was two minutes' conversation with his victim. Half an hour later the victim keeled over.No sign of foul play and the robot was gone.Just as well Republicans don't read any GOOD sci-fi.
They're "smart" in that they know there will be zero consequences for them no matter what they do. Manchin is never going to step out of office willingly, no matter how corrupt. if he does get the boot from his position, he'll still enjoy a lifetime of comped 4* dinners as some kind of lobbyist.
"... how the entirety of the United States government is held hostage by one asshole"It's a little bit of a winding road to get to there, but the "Citizens United"decision is probably yr answer.
this is the goal, right? He's creating a bigger market for his own profit. More bills, means more opportunities to negotiate more cutouts for donors and special interests. Every individual bill means someone new has to buddy up to ol' Maserati Joe and cut a check to get a handout.

The way he is out to murder people maybe we should call him Joe Manson.

Boop on the snoot!
What makes you think Biden wants to break him?
They’re out of the closet now
Well, at least you’ve been paying attention
Three terms of Obama and Biden and all I have to show for it is a Republican, privatized health plan and an Exxon backed infrastructure bill.
One day it would be nice to elect a democrat.
Yeah, i was going to make that point also. "I won't make that happen" is Joe's legacy.

His tithe to the Dem mothership must be worth it, I guess.

Those rumours of her being the eyes and ears of a certain former spy, now wealthy oligarch are likely to be true.
At the bottom 10 of most every positive metric in terms of living standards. It's like letting a straight 'D' student take over teaching the class.
