Old King Coal Strikes Again

You will remember not so very long ago one of the most common sermons that our Never Trump "allies" would shout at us us dirty, disreputable hippies was how we must move towards the "center".   

The "center", of course, being defined as corrupt trolls like Joe Lieberman and Joe Manchin.

For God's sake, didn't we realize that the fate of the republic hung in the balance!

One example:

An Ode to Saint Joe Manchin

Democrats are mad at Joe Manchin. They ought to be grateful for him.

-- by Tim Miller

And Manchin didn't just deserve our quiet deference or even our respect: he was the noumenal ideal of "Democrat" to which we should all aspire.  And shame! shame! on us dirty, disreputable hippies for not gratefully accepting this profound wisdom from our Never Trump betters.

And then...some time later...

Joe Manchin Proves Again That He’s an Idiot With Endorsement Decision

Joe Manchin seems to think Kamala Harris is just as much a threat as Donald Trump.

Senator Joe Manchin is retiring at the end of his term, but that won’t stop him from being a Democratic Party pooper all the way through the November election.

On Tuesday, following Vice President Kamala Harris’s announcement that she would do away with the filibuster in order to pass federal abortion protections, Manchin said this move was a step too far and that he’d rescind his endorsement of Harris for president...

So where's your messiah now?

I know it's the sheerest abyss-shouting to write these things, but how many times do our Never Trump "allies" have to prove they have no fucking idea what they are talking about and that their political advice is 100% stupid juice before they shut up and sit down.  Remember, these are the same people who were so impotent and so arrogantly clueless that they couldn't even save their own goddamn party from Donald Trump...who easily took over the Republican party using the very same doomsday machine that these smug fuckers spent their adult lives building.   

Well, at least they can still count on Mitt Romney, right?

Right?

When asked if he might endorse Harris in September, [Romney] told a reporter that he's "got nothing more on that front," adding "we'll see" if he writes in Ann Romney again.

Geez Louise! I’ve been looking forward to the last time I hear Joe Manchin’s name. I hope to God this is it.
