I'm free-drawing a draft of my new SER poem, Political Remora Lindsey Graham.

So far, I'm just riffing on fun words the rhyme with 'Graham'.

But none of the terms are blood sucking nor sap sucking parasites. Nature Nerd Wonkers: need your help..

Manchin is an asshole. Just in case it hasn’t been said. It’s a lot to hope for, but maybe there’s some compelling Democrat in West Virginia with the combination of looks and charm and and brains who can primary him AND beat a Republican challenger. Let us pray 🙏🏾

The smart money actually thinks this is bad for the economy, including the profits of corporations which depend on consumers being able to spend and workers being able to fill jobs. Goldman Sachs immediately downgraded their 2022 projections, and the stock markets tanked. https://secondnexus.com/gol...

Of course it was cordial, killing BBB was the whole purpose of separating it from BIF. Biden has never showed any interest in the people who weren't campaign contributors in his entire career, I'm doubtful that the leopard has changed its spots. It wasn't for nothing that he had the sobriquet "the senator from Wall Street".

Been saying this for weeks, unfortunately I doubt that people with that kind of money hang out in the sort of places we do.

Yep, but the stock market billionaires would rather suffer a temporary set back in stock portfolio value, than pay the same amount in increased taxes. (To help the needy). Thereby the Manchin megadonor arm twist.

Very good. I Googled, and none of those is a parasitic species, however.

But aren't species names in Latin?
