Manchin said Dershowitz did a good job and it

gives the case new perspective.

In other words, Manchin is going to acquit Trump and give him free reign to be a dictator. Manchin is absolute trash. He needs to just switch parties already.

I don't give a flying fuck if he is the best we can do in WV. If he breaks then all money needs to be cut off, all seniority needs to be stripped. This is not a Dem/Repub issue. This is a Democracy/Fascist issue.
