Manchin gave you 40 terrible judges

The slobbering over Joe Manchin has to stop. He's one of the last remaining sane Democrats, but he is still a Democrat. He delayed the inevitable spending spree by Democrats. And he is doing his part to radicalize the American judiciary.

Just because AOC and the rest of the Squaws are squawking does not make him a hero.

Paul Mirengoff pointed out, "As Democrats continue to trash Joe Manchin, we learn that they have succeeded in confirming the highest number of federal judges in the first year of a presidency in four decades. The Senate has confirmed 40 judges this year. That’s more than twice the number in Donald Trump’s first year.

"This couldn’t have happened without Joe Manchin. Without Manchin, the West Virginia seat he holds would be occupied by a Republican. Of this, there can be no doubt. West Virginia is a solidly red state."

Manchin barely defeated Patrick Morrisey, the state's attorney general, in 2018. 

That Biden got 40 judges through a 50-50 Senate also shows that RINOs are making sure Trump does not get any judgeships should he return to office. 

Schumer was able to slow-walk Trump appointees but McConnell refuses to do the same to Biden.

But Manchin made Biden's power to appoint terrible judges easier. And he's doing it at a record pace.

Mirengoff ended his piece, "the Democrats are lucky that Joe Manchin is in the Senate. Manchin understands this and therefore probably resents the attacks on him by the White House and congressional Dems all the more."

I agree.

Manchin's taking one for the team. He's been bought. He won't blame Biden. Instead he blames unnamed White House staffers to perpetuate the myth that the tail wags the dog. It is how Biden avoids accountability.

Calling him President Manchin also absolves Biden of any responsibility. Biden only pawn in game of life.

To his credit, Manchin does not care what Bette Midler thinks of him. Nor should he.

In 1944, the D-Day victory had troops believing they'd be home for Christmas. The war in Europe had other plans. It was not over until the next May. 

So it is with this spending spree. Democrats have plenty of time left to bankrupt America next year.

Democrats will trim a little from their $5 trillion (CBO estimate) gift to donors and supporters. They will pass it next year without a Republican vote. They have Manchin.

And his wife runs the Appalachian Regional Commission which was created in 1965 that it would lift the hillbillies out of poverty. We're still poor, but our politicians own yachts and Maseratis now.
