Bribery by any other name, Manchin's wife gets cushy Biden appointment

[Jmac00]

How do you guarantee a Senator votes the way you want him/her to. You give their spouse a nice cushy $160K a year job, thats how

Joe Manchin’s wife up for $160K Biden appointment

President Biden intends to appoint the wife of the Senate’s top swing vote, West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin III, to a plum federal position that pays upwards of $160,000 annually.

If, IF she takes this job, it would be blatant attempt to bribe or extort a senators vote. This would be a huge conflict of interest, but I suppose DemocRATs don't really give a shit about that

Manchin has the Senate by the cahoonies.....they are giving him almost everything He wants as displayed in the last 1.9 trillion covd "relief" fund. He's the only loose cannon the dems have to deal with. BUT..on the other side are the rhino's like romnuts and collins

She looks kind of pale for that kind of .gov appointment.

Whine more. More specifically, don't complain about this when you never complained about Trump "donors" getting the same cushy type jobs or jobs with direct conflicts of interest. You weren't complaining about the same behavior then... why not?

Trump and Biden are both corrupt shitlords.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Pay to play.

Can you give an exact example?

Can you give an exact example?

while we're at it, let's have an example where the Trump Administration gave a cushy job to the family member of a sitting Senator to "buy" his vote.

Can you give an exact example?

Nope he can’t. He just likes to stir the pot without references.

He read an article on Huff Post that said it.

Sure. DeVoss. Toss Donny some millions, get to be the sec of ed. He had no interest in her until she started throwing money at him. She has huge investments in KinderCare Learning Centers. She was also against public funded K education and did everything possible to undermine it.

Pretty fucking blatant what that's about. Own private early childhood education centers and use your public position to eliminate your competition (ie. public K) so you can profiteer with your own business. A position only obtained by giving Trump money. Pay to play.

Pay to play has been around for quite some time. While this is an example of her buying a job, this is much different than buying a Senator through his spouse.

In regards to Devoss, this had very little to do with money than it did power. Her and her husband were worth 5.1 billion prior to her taking on the job by Mr. Trump. Her enterprises gained less than 75 million while in office. No way to prove if that increase was due to her position. And not to mention, she comes from huge family money as well.

Biden is 100% bribing the Senator from West Virginia with this job offer. He is a thorn in the side of the Biden/The Mutt agenda.

Any other examples. I am open to all of them.


BTW, the Pay to play, I have never been a fan of it.

Here is the BIG difference . If this pay off to Manchin works and he goes along with getting rid of the filibuster Then the dems pass ANYTHING they want. Starting with HR1. HR1 will make voting like it is in Russia or Iran. Its a big show. Once that happens there is no republic left. Might as well start the civil war then. Or do nothing and watch how everyone gets picked off one at a time. You have a gun, oh no, Raid your home in the middle of the night or day when no one is home. Tax you for this or that, don't pay, again raid home kick you out.


If Trump did as you say no big deal the fundamental way of government didn't change because of it. It will if this works on Manchin. The whole key to the dem plan is the filibuster MUST go. Once gone everything else is easy. Pack courts first so they cant stop things like adding states or other unconstitutional laws. One party rule will be similar to China. I always new the US would eventually go dictatorship but thought I would be long gone when that happened.

So yes this is DIFFERENT than before
