Joe Manchin -- how to get him in line ethics probe regarding Mylan and big pharma

[JT45242]

Perhaps Joe would play ball if an ethics probe into him sinking Neera's nomination and other votes that helped his daughter's company Mylan would get him to se the light.

Not sure he would want all those dirty little secrets as to how he sided with big pharma and Mylan against the interests of West Virginians in light of the opioid crisis, insulin and epipen price hikes, etc.

Perhaps mentioning that this might all be exposed to the light of day might make him change his tune.

2. How could there be an ethics probe if the Republicans controlled the senate

....which will happen if there is an ethics probe and he switched parties.

5. Exactly ... dude's got us by the short and curlies and he knows it ...

OTOH, if he switched parties he'd have a lot less power and attention showered on him.

6. Don't you know, now that we have the power we have to be tyrants

Getting what we want and punishing those we don't like means we need to do whatever we can and damn the consequences.

9. Apparently some some Dems would like to

4. Let's post ways to push Manchin to switch parties.

7. Biden and Schumer won't do such a thing so that's a non-starter.

8. It's worth considering.

10. Wtf

There is a rule against bashing dems on this forum. Why are threads calling for them to be blackmailed allowed?

[empedocles]

11. Hmm

[FoxNewsSucks]

12. It's not really bashing, I think what his daughter did

was a disgusting display of greed. The kind of thing one generally expects from the other party. If it were another party, we'd be demanding an investigation, but since it's not is that now OK?

13. What do

You think blackmail is?
