“…Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia is under fire Thursday for his Wednesday evening vote to confirm Jeff Sessions as U.S. attorney general.
According to Guardian political reporter Ben Jacobs, Manchin “flash[ed Sessions] a thumbs up on his way in the chamber,” before breaking with his party to cast the only Democratic vote in favor of Sessions’ confirmation. ….
….
….A number of observers noted that Manchin’s daughter, Heather Bresch, was chief executive of the pharmaceutical company Mylan when it dramatically hiked the price of EpiPens. The matter is currently being investigated by the Department of Justice, which Sessions will now helm”…”
Sorry for you, and the people of WV who elected him. I see lots of Reps are catching shit during town halls back home. Good.
Me, I’m happy with my senators. Both have pissed off the Donald to no end. Murphy first with the gun control stuff, then Blumenthal leaking what the Justice Elect told him.

I don’t know if evil is banal, as Arendt said. It sure is smug though.
