A guy named Joe is running the country, but it's not Joe Biden. Yesterday, West Virginia senator, Joe Manchin, put an end to Joe Biden's signature "Build Back Better" legislation, signature as in a string of undecipherable words scribbled with crayons he promptly ate.
With the senate locked in a 50-50 tie between democrats and republicans, a single vote makes all the difference. Joe Manchin represents a state whose people are overwhelmingly conservative; 75% disapprove of the Build Back Better legislation. Joe Manchin was elected to represent his constituents, so it's clear why he won't be voting yea. Which means there will be no building back better, not that anything would have ever been actually built, anyway.
But that's of no concern to democrat politicians, liberals, or their media allies; Joe Manchin, a democrat, has become the instant archenemy of liberals everywhere. He's being vilified; his opposition to the legislation is considered treason, he's the face of evil... liberals are referring to Joe Manchin as the selfish SOB who’s standing between desperate democrats and the passage of their dearly beloved socialist agenda.
Apparently, nary a one of his haters has considered for a moment the fact that 50 republican senators also oppose the legislation. It’s called a majority, the cornerstone of democracy, but that wouldn’t mean anything to socialists.
During a recent interview, Kamala Harris… Joe Biden often refers to her as "president" Harris, which is either the yammering of a senile old man or he knows something the rest of us don't, was asked a simple question: "Which Joe is running the country... Manchin or Biden?" She stifled a cackle before giving hardly convincing and barely believable assurances that it's the latter.
But for many Americans... which includes an ever-growing number of democrats, the question remains unanswered because Joe… the Biden variety, is becoming ever-more irrelevant as his cognition further-wanes. So... given a list of guys named Joe, in what order of actual importance to the country should they be arranged?
My suggestion: Joe Manchin, first, for sure, followed by, oh, I don't know... how about Joe Rogan, Joe Namath, Joe Pesci, Samoa Joe, Joe Gibbs, Joe Piscopo, Bazooka Joe, and... only after listing a whole lot of other guys named Joe, maybe there's a spot to add Joe Biden.
Oops, wait a minute... I forgot to mention Joe Blow.
