AN ODE TO MANCHIN AND SINEMA

 

Since her big speech yesterday, Krysten Sinema, in my opinion, has played her penultimate hand in her transition from faux bisexual, Democrat to finally becoming a Republican (or Independent with a Republican streak). She and Joe Manchin are the linchpins to destroying the entire Democratic Agenda, by wagering with one of the fundamental equalizers of American society. Considering that they ran using the platform as their means to an end, it seems that they have proven that like in the Black Community, “all skinfolk, ain’t kinfolk.” The obstruction by the Republicans in the Senate is also to blame, but it really isn't surprising, at least they are standing together in their foolishness. So, I would like to reach out to my many singing and “sanging” friends and ask them to take a moment and put a great spin on it.

Love For Sale - in the style of Ella Fitzgerald | Karaoke Version 

Music and Original Lyrics by Cole Porter

Alternate Lyrics by Keith Price 


When voter’s rights are in a threat

One thing you can surely bet

That Republicans will cheer,

While, Dem-o-crats-live-in-fear


And just when things were looking up

The Dems won the Majority Cup

They thought they had the win

Then came-Sin-ema-and-Man-chin
