Rolling Stone: Manchin's Coal Corruption Is So Much Worse Than You Knew

Hello christiefan,

Wow. Thanks for that sad information. I don't think greed is hereditary, but it certainly does seem to be highly infectious.

After all, Trump had an older brother who wanted nothing to do with the greed his father tried to impose upon him. His father made that son's life a living hell for rejecting it. The brother eventually died of alcoholism, and neither Trump nor his father even came to see him on his death bed. They were both well aware of what was happening that day, and simply chose not to be bothered.

This is the 'great man' the right has chosen to be their hero.

Yep, that older brother is Mary Trump's father so she had a first-hand look at what went on in the family. What they did to Fred Trump Jr. was sick, there's no other word for it.

There's a lot of greed to be found in conservatives. Even when they exist in the Democratic Party:

" Manchin, whose vote is crucial to passage of President Joe Biden’s domestic policy priorities in an evenly divided 50-50 Senate, has holdings valued at between $1 million and $5 million in Enersystems, Inc., the coal brokerage business he founded, according to his most recent financial disclosure form that covers 2020 activity.

And last year, he made more than $491,000 from his Enersystems holdings, the filings show. That’s more than twice his $174,000 annual Senate salary.

“Manchin is a walking conflict of interest,” said Craig Holman, a lobbyist for the liberal watchdog group Public Citizen. “And what makes it all the more troubling is that he’s the 50th Democratic senator, which gives him enormous sway over climate change policy.” "

"“We have a system where a member of Congress can be invested heavily in, for example, the coal industry and then be responsible for overseeing climate policy,” said Delaney Marsco, senior legal counsel for ethics at the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center. “It doesn’t make sense.” "
