    This means that the West Virginia Senate seat will likely go to a Republican in 2024. And this announcement will raise questions about whether Manchin will run for president as an independent.

          There’s a dog I know, like all good bois this dog loves absolutely everybody. Doesn’t matter who you are, this dog has nothing but unconditional love for you. I was sitting around, petting this wonderful dog when Joe Manchin came on the television. This dog stopped the belly rubs, sat up straight and looked me in the eye and said “maaaan that guy’s a motherfucker.”

          Of course I was shocked, you can talk?? I asked.

          This dog just tilted his head and asked for more belly rubs.

          I hope that no one who spent the past 4 years defending him starts pretending that they’ve always disliked him now.

            The VAST bulk of people “defending him” never liked him, but recognize the necessity of maintaining a senate majority.

        He’s like 76 too. If I have to vote for an old guy, it’ll be one who actually has a chance of winning and isn’t a conniving backstabber

      Corrupt pain in the ass that he was, this is not good news. 2024 was already an awful map for Democrats to hold the Senate, this makes it even harder.
