Reminder that his own daughter, a healthcare CEO whose company donates to Republican super-PACs, raised the price of EpiPens from $100/cartridge to $600/cartridge.

Oh, and you can only buy them in 2-packs in which they have a short shelf life. In other words, you or your kids want to live? Fuck off and pay up.

Ah, yes. The man of the people. Driving his Masarati to the yacht club. A true civil serpent. er. I mean servant.

Get money the FUCK out of politics!

Reminder that Joe Manchin lives on a boat in DC. A 70’ boat he bought for $220,000 and then immediately insured for $700,000.

Why would someone sell a sitting US senator a boat for half a million dollars under its value? No reporter seems interested in finding out.

Edit

Politifact article

FTA - Independent experts we contacted were unable to explain the difference in the two dollar figures, beyond speculating that the vessel was purchased from a seller eager to get rid of it and later insured at the boat’s market value.

That’s the part that annoys me the most. That reporters hear that and throw up their hands and say - I guess we’ll never know. Someone just happening to give a 70% haircut on a boat to a sitting senator doesn’t raise any eyebrows? Maybe check and see if the previous owner was, oh I don’t know, a coal lobbyist perhaps?
