https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-26/biden-names-wife-of-pivotal-democratic-senator-for-federal-post Pay to play baby! Give the most influential vote in the Senate some good money to sway a vote of two.
Hahahaha.. how did you survive the last 4 years if this is causing you trouble?
Bubbles and echo chambers are awesome/s
At least he picks someone that’s qualified. Republicans just appoint any old dipshit to positions.
You were on Blind and defending Trump before the election. Trump was much worse in this category. What changed?
Quite honestly this doesn't look too bad. She's qualified, and isn't connected to any donors. What exact problem do you have with this? How is this pay to play? Where's the payment? From your article: "The White House said Friday that Gayle Manchin is Biden’s pick for federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission, an economic development partnership between the federal government and 13 states, including West Virginia, where the senator and his wife reside. Gayle Manchin has served previously on the State Board of Education, and chairs Reconnecting McDowell, an initiative in West Virginia run by the American Federation of Teachers. She also served as secretary for the West Virginia Office of Education and the Arts and holds two graduate degrees."
Wont help democrats, big midterm backlash is coming no matter what
He has learned well from the trumpanzee administration. This is your country, folks! Enjoy!
It’s called being smart.
Left: Corruption is OK when it’s OUR guy
Where is the corruption you speak of.
Corruption: your wife gets an appointment and I get your vote Senator Manchin. Is there a more competent person to do this than Joe Manchins wife? If we allow politicians to continue giving out political positions to political spouses, then we will continue the endless cycle of 🎁 for votes. Manchin holds ~1% of the voting power in the Senate. I bet Manchin must be real happy. In the last 4 years Manchin has pulled away from Democrats and pushed back on certain issues. With this political appointment to his wife, I bet he will be less likely to push back in the future. This might be some stupid Appalachian trail appointment, but all of these positions are stepping stones. I for one, cannot wait for the Manchin political dynasty. It will look good alongside the Bush dynasty and the Clinton Dynasty. I’m happy we avoided the Trump dynasty at least.
Ivanka, Jared, Betsy, Dejoy .... meanwhile Gayle Manchin has served in state education, arts roles (from the link). Funneling money into trump properties. Kushners company received PPP loans. His father was pardoned. Jvanka tried to use the presidents name to sell shit in China. She got a trademark. Ukraine phone call. The title you so cleverly came up with is for This. I’m sure I’m missing an ambassador that bought his seat.
Who cares? Old administration is gone. I thought Biden was an angel and going to run the admin with integrity? Guys a joke.
Amzn- Who cares? Apparently you didn’t care about the 4 years of world class corruption
