Tornado Alley (PROG)

Whoa, great link. Corroborated by many articles about munchkin and most other senators.

Obviously these rules were made behind closed doors and need to be changed as well. Both sides take advantage of them.

At the very least, no one should be on any committee that they themselves have a personal monetary interest in. Munchkin can stop anything he wants if it impacts his personal fortune and the congress has covered this kind of conduct as somehow needed or allowed? Foxes/hens???

And the fact that munchkin is lying about his blind fund makes him no better than any other phony congressman in DC.
All of munchkin's talk of passing things for the people all come in a form of 1 lamer for the people and 5 protective bills for his coal industry.

Manchin has a lucrative family business that sells waste coal to a power plant in West Virginia that “emits air pollution at a higher rate than any other plant in the state,” according to the Post.

Under the former clean electricity provision in the Build Back Better bill, that business could’ve been hurt. Manchin played a decisive role in killing it, despite explanations from policymakers and experts that it would have lowered energy costs and created thousands of jobs in his state.

When asked about whether he’s compromised by his investment in his family business, Manchin has claimed he has no idea what’s going on with it because it’s under a “blind trust.”
