In my view, one of Trump’s biggest mistakes was appointing the wife of Mitch McConnell, Elaine Chao, to be the Secretary of Transportation during his tenure.  I don’t care if the move was or was not a ‘pay off’ to McConnell, it appeared to be, and that is all that matters.

Now Joe Biden is using this age old Swamp strategy of bribing Senators and Congressmen with lucrative jobs for their spouses and family members.  After all, if there is anyone who knows about grifting payoffs though their family members, it’s the Biden clan.

Fox News reports:

‘President Biden has picked the wife of an extremely influential U.S. senator for a federal commission post, the White House announced Friday. 

Biden nominated Gayle Conelly Manchin to co-chair the Appalachian Regional Commission, an economic development partnership with 13 states designed to boost investment in the Appalachian Region.’

Just wait until you heard how much money Manchin’s wife is going to be put in charge of.  Is it just me, or does this not look 100000% as if it is a bribe, a quid pro Joe, in order to ensure Manchin signs off on Biden’s handler’s radical plot to crash the American economy and dismantle our Republic?

Fox News went on:

‘Manchin is an educator, past president of West Virginia’s State Board of Education and the former first lady of West Virginia.

She’s been married for 53 years to Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a critical vote in the Senate for Biden if he wants to get any of his major legislative priorities passed.

With Democrats holding the slimmest of majorities with a 50-50 split and Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote, Manchin’s influence in the Senate has grown tremendously.

As a moderate from a red state, Manchin has openly pushed back on some of the Democrats’ boldest ideas, including the $15 minimum wage, eliminating the filibuster and far-reaching gun control legislation. His resistance has forced concessions.‘

This concessions now appear to include Manchin’s wife being put in charge of a 9 figure fund … yes, well over 100 million dollars.  How on Earth is this legal?  If the Manchin family has a shred of honesty they must refuse this appointment, as even if it is not a ‘bribe’ is sure as hell appears to be one, and in this world, optics is reality.

So how much would Mrs, Manchin get to control if she accepts and is approved for this spot?  Fox News has the details on that as well:

‘The Appalachian Regional Commission includes the governors of each of the 13 Appalachian states and the Federal Co-Chairperson who is appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. It operates with about a $165 million budget.’

If Joe Manchin starts falling in line to shove tyranny down the American people’s throats after his wife takes this post it is just one more sign (as if we needed anymore signs) that the America’s Globalist Empire is on the verge of collapse.  Moves this overt and bold are not born of strength but rather desperation.
