Sorry to say they will not pay for that,the amount of pwr over the population and people antagonizing over rotten political parties allows

OP has figured out the 'way' to get Manchin on board with BuBBA: toss the bitch in jail until he votes for the fucking bill!

How is that legal? How can you be on a board that regulates a field while profiting from a company in that field?

Because the people in charge of holding him accountable are doing the same thing.

What would be appropriate karma is if she had a life threatening allergy and was denied an epi pen needed to save her life.
JodyBird
She can afford $600
awkwardbeautiful
Oh I know she can. Doesn’t mean that it still can’t be withheld. In this scenario, it’s punishment/ comeuppance for her greed.

Conflict of interest, fraud. Not a single honest person/family in politics today, is there?

We can change this by voting out rotten pols. But we have this huge divide between Dems and Repubs. That division helps keep their seats.

Then folks wonder why he really is against lowering prescription drug costs.
mardukkur
He wasn't, that was Sinema. Between them they're killing the bill but they both oppose different things in it.
cabalin
They’re coordinating
mardukkur
They're not. Sinema is a crook and Manchin is as far right as you can get without being a Republican.

Politics is just a great way to take care of your own interests

Illegally? Like there's a law against it?

What a beautiful family, of assholes
Greenwaxy
How did this asshat win the primary? And why isn’t he being beaten into line? If an R pulled this they’d lose party financial support.
bekindtoanimals
Absolutely
Jagerbeast
The R party is paying trump legal fees.... looool
Greenwaxy
Yeah but if one R senator held up their policy agenda? They’d destroy him.
Rip42
As left as WV will tolerate. If you can imagine, they're not a bastion of progressive thinking. Still need the seat for senate control.
CGWN
Joe Manchin is the only electable politician from WV willing to call himself a Democrat. His resistance isn't ideal, but the alternative is
CGWN
any unnamed Republican taking his seat and giving control of the Senate over to Mitch McConnell. It's unfortunate that one party represents
CGWN
everything between radical liberalism and moderate conservatism - while the other is mostly theocratic - but that's where we are right now.
Babomonkey
If an R pulled this the other Rs would be insider trading while claiming the price is Biden's fault.
GiantMoron
Capitalism is not a crime. Sometime it is shitty but the alternatives are worse. Except whatever the Scandinavians are doing, they are good
Emrys12
To all the people saying they wish these guys finally paid consequences, how do you think they got so rich in the first place? and legally?
Emrys12
it's not these people who are wrong, it's the system allowing this, and getting fat cash in return from their profits. the system wants it.
Emrys12
and IF these people paid consequences, the system would choose someone else. Martin Shkreli had a point he made through douchebaggery.
Emrys12
He proved he could do it, then he went public with it, system took him down and painted him as the bad guy. Now he is simply replaced by
Emrys12
someone who listens to the system more :) and brings them more cash
EnderPanda13
Once searched my entire store for a girls purse. Mainly because it had a epipen in it. She said that one epipen cost her $1,500. Bruh.
drunkbs
Ahh, so THAT'S why he wants to run for Governor.
ShadowSquids
Joe Manchin would be considered a conservative in almost any other country

Which one?

"*citation needed" on that "illegally" part. Shitty, amoral? Absolutely.

Both of them should be punched in the throat.
themuttonisniceandlean
My kid has a generic epipen. Much much cheaper.
AngryLOLS
Source? How do I know this is true? This is just a screen shot of a Twitter post
Addrammelech
Look at prices of epipens in US vs other countries
AngryLOLS
Yea I get that, how do I know this is even his daughter? How do I know the connection this Twitter person made is real?

Rip, 'do your own research' causes anti-vaxers :(
BleakMill
Not quite what I'm saying. I'm saying that you're casting doubt in lieu of checking something out for yourself. That also causes anti-vaxers
Murder0fCr0ws
Doesn't matter from the right or the left in the US, we are just the worker drones to make someone else rich and we die broke and depressed
FrolickingFrolicking
“Terrorist Attack on congress to install dictator” -right. “Billionaires should be taxed.” -left. “boTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE” -confused troll
CutChemist

FrolickingFrolicking
You’re obviously confused because the left clearly wants workers to be less broke and less depressed. This is why the right hates them.
Murder0fCr0ws
We don't have a true left in this country. Viewing the dems through a political science lens, they are centrist at best.
ModernVoodooApostasy
Manchin is not left
masteryoplait
It does matter bc we can change 1 party. I’m not liking all the Putin & Xi sponsored “let’s get rid of American Democracy” talk.
Murder0fCr0ws
Neither party seems to want any change. Manchin and sinema are blocking every effort and repubs are unrecognizable from Reagan era
2289Jan
Manchin and Sinema aside, this really comes down to failed leadership. Tell me why Pelosi and Schumer are on top after losing in 2014? Money
BerticusFlamebearer
So we just ignore all the people trying for change because a few are actively resisting it?
tonedeafsidekick
The few actively resisting it are winning. The system was never designed to work in our favor. It's an illusion.
Murder0fCr0ws
The opposite, we need to embrace the trailblazers who are fighting for the rights of everyone.
homoerection
Yes! And grass roots voting.
rainbowsandunicorns575
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they all finally had actual consequences for their shit behaviour?
SignedEpsteinsMother
benc85
s'funny we use this, but when a serious discussion is raised about the death penalty, all of a sudden its the worst thing since shit sarnies
Ironferrox
That’s because we only use the death penalty on the poor but never on the rich.
benc85
so, its not the sentence, its the judicial process leading up to it. like ive been saying allllll along. its so frustrating
Ironferrox
You know how to fix the shit justice system, take away the means to have better legal representation based on income. Everyone gets public
Frozenspokes
They make the rules so don't hold your breath.
JoeT85
so, pharma bro Martin Shkreli got jail time for gouging. I wonder if she'll get the same
greatwyrm4512
I agree but Shkreli didnt have daddy running interference for him.
BallsackHippo
What happened to the US "If you fraud, you'll get 40 years in jail" ?
morphis
Shit politi-spam has no consequences here, only muting can help:
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
The government will not prosecute the government. Either we take their heads or nothing happens
FlyingButtPliers
Only if the consequences penalty exceeds the profit made. Usually it's make a million pay $10k fine garbage
OhNoDontTouch
or more recently: make billions, pay a few hundred thousand

I personally find the idea of hell repugnant. Also, the living shouldn't wait for justice in death.

There is. We are living in one and they are our torturers.

Emrys12
The consequences of their actions means they enrich the system that put them in that position, in turn enriching themselves too.
Emrys12
blame the game makers, who misdirect too easily by using their power to take these guys down when the public loses faith. Thats when they
Emrys12
Hire someone else to do the exact same thing.
uplock
Eventually they will, I honestly believe this is the last opportunity for it being the justice system that does it, if it falls to mob 1/2
Catsbycat
I don't get it. We riot and vandalize over BLM but not for healthcare and it's price gorging business.
uplock
We've seen how easily it gets infiltrated by the opposition, both occupy wall street and BLM protests. Protests are near useless in this.
uplock
justice the fall will only accelerate, but we are kind of getting to that being the only avenue left. 2/2
Timetoupdatemyusername
I do not wish ill on America, but I kinda hope u guys will mob up and mop up.
LonelyHumanBoy
Thats not wishing ill, that's wishing America will drink the bitter medicine already that its been refusing for decades.
