I mean look- Joe Manchin can be fucking INFURIATING at times. But more often than not he gets to the right place in his own time, he’s not malicious or evil, and I have never once doubted he loves West Virginia and he stuck with the Democrats through it all.
Is he my dream Senator like Sherrod or Warren? No. Will he fail me again in the future? Yes. Is he persuadable? Yes.
I am really, really hoping he can work with the squad and liberal Senators on the green new deal and can help retrain miners and other West Virginians in renewable energy and funnel money so this could be a hub for that tech.
And you he cares about the opioid crisis, which everyone has forgotten about.

And he cares deeply about the Post Office and Veterans and Social Security and Medicare.
So five the fucking man a chance and if he does wrong, flame him.

But fuck y’all with your stay in your lane shit. You’re lucky he stayed in his lane and we will have a dem senate

One last thing before I piss off into a netflix stupor. I am so glad that we are finally going to have a President who actually enjoys things. One of the things that drove me most insane about Trump, and I have said this before, is that the man was simply incapable of joy.
He doesn’t like to read, he doesn’t like music, he doesn’t care about art or poetry, or fine dining. He doesn’t laugh. He doesn’t laugh at himself. He is joyless. He doesn’t understand beauty in nature, in people, in architecture.
The only way he measured things is by how he perceived it made other people envy or look up to him.

I’ll hold up a bible because other people like it and I want them to like me.

I will hang around all these bottle blondes with fake boobs because that’s what people like.

Wanna hear a quick and funny story about karmic justice in the gaming world? I know you do.
So I play world of warcraft classic with about 20 guys I played WoW with circa 2004-2010. We play alliance on a very populated PVP server, Sulfuras. There are two main factions- alliance and horde.
today was a very big event- the opening of the gates of Ahn’Qiraj, which is big enough that if you google it you will find all sorts of coverage. At any rate, it is a week long event that involves the entire world to somewhat work together to open a new set of dungeons.

The people treating this pandemic cavalierly are making me insane. Maybe I am an outlier, but I am taking every precaution I can. Today I had to do curbside pickup for my parents. I did one last week for them, but they just got home from wintering in South Carolina
So they have nothing because they always clear their pantry. So they need essentials- flour, eggs, salt, olive oil, baking soda, etc., on top of everything else.
I knew I was going to be their lifeline to the outer world before they even came home, so I started a soft isolation a week before they came home. I can’t help them if I know I am contaminated.

If the candidates were World of Warcraft Classic Characters:
Biden: Dwarf Prot Warrior named Gimle or something basic. Miner/Blacksmith. Not the guild’s first tank choice, but always shows up to raids so he gets use from time to time. Always blows the pull.

Keyboard turner.
Bloomberg: Human sword spec rogue. Herb/Miner. Built a fortune using layering to mine ore/herbs, now plays the AH for money. Often only raid logs and likes trolling general chat.

Hi- it took me twenty years to pay off my student loans and it was not easy but I did it last spring. Between putting away money for retirement and paying off those loans, there were a lot of lean years. But I did it.

And I completely support eliminating student loan debt.
Why? Because I am not a fucking sociopath. And because I realize that even in the 20 years since I incurred my debt, things have changed dramatically for current students. Public support for education has dipped, and students are taking on more and more debt.
The other reason I support this is the same reason I support every education levy, increase in the education budget, and increase in teacher salaries. Because I don’t want to be surrounded by fucking stupid uneducated people. And if higher ed costs make college prohibitive

The reason the 1619 Project has republicans so mad is that they operate under the notion that history is written by the winners, therefore all the evil they are doing right now will be ok if they just keep on "winning." And winning is an amorphous concept for them.
What they fail to realize is that history may be, in the short term, written by the winners, history is interpreted by the LIVING. And no matter how you write history the history of this country, the living are allowed to look at it and say "WOW WE DID SOME RACIST EVIL SHIT."
And the living are also allowed to look at that, and say tothemselves "Hey-maybe just maybe, the racist birth of our nation led to some repercussions throughout our nation's entire existence and may still be impacting who and what we are today?"
