46. It's like a bad horror movie.....

whatever has infected Manchin for all these years has jumped bodies now that he's leaving. Manchin is now making noises about term limits for Supreme Court Justices.

Fetterman is starting to sound like Manchin.

It seems to prefer Republicans (the number of about faces with regard to Trump is staggering) but seems to be able to infect Democrats from time to time......possibly Fetterman's brain damage from the stroke presented an opportunity.

What that says about Republicans isn't great.
