A gathering of ghouls wouldn’t be a party for me, but I have no doubt it was for them.
Anyway, when it comes to tranmisson of this virus, what the hell is the difference?

Fun fact: The house boat is Manchin’s home away from home when he’s in DC.

Another opportunity, on many levels, to again ask the Beltway “centrists” how the Dems’ rewarding Manchin’s constant bad behaviour is “worth it”.
[Getting ahead of the usual arguments: I don’t see McConnell particularly dismayed at things as they stand even without a Senate majority, Biff’s arse-licker Lindsey Graham is not a “reasonable” GOP politician, and compromise and comity is not possible with the Party of Demonstrable Bad Faith (quickly on its way to a full takeover by a fascist death cult)]

Honestly, it could also be staff. You don’t have a gathering of congress critters without somebody to serve them.

NO! Not a party! It was just a social gathering of people where drinks were served and people could mingle and relax. Why would you say it was a party, comeon!

It says he attended the party the same day he noticed his symptoms, so he didn’t catch it there but he probably spread it to others there.

So there seems to have been a turnaround in some corners of the conservative media – Sean Hannity and Steve Doocy have taken an about-face and are now telling people to get vaccinated.
I think some conservatives see the writing on the wall-- COVID raging primarily through red states, decimating their voting base.

I’m so disappointed hearing that Graham got the vaccine. Wait till Donald’s base find out. If he really loved trump he would have died.

I guess it wasn’t a party because both parties were there?

It was a jamboree, a shindig, a soiree, a bacchanal, a carousal, a bash, a do, a regular saturnalia, a gala, a kaffeeklatsch - but it was under no circumstances a party.

A box social perhaps?
Also, does Manchin have a houseboat to make it easier to get to international waters?

As an ol’ salt I need to argue with that article. Just because you live on it doesn’t make it a houseboat. A 65’ boat worth hundred of thousands of dollars is definitely a yacht. Well, a motor yacht. According to the Annapolis Book of Seamanship anything over 36’ is. Houseboats are basically just barges with a house built on them.

Maybe it wasn’t enough fun to be considered a party. I mean, a sharing a boat full of congresscritters and not a torpedo in sight?
