Joe Manchin: A Two-Faced Man Who Became a God in the Political Universe

Two-faced Janus was an ancient Roman god with one face looking forward, and the other looking back.

Like Janus, Joe Manchin is a two-faced god in the Senate who claims to be a Democrat but caucuses too often with Republicans to believe him.

Unlike Janus whose job was to keep evil spirits out of homes, buildings, shrines, schools and wherever there was a doorway or gate, Manchin is all about closing doorways. Especially by threatening not to vote on key bills like supporting voting rights and Build Back Better bill.  

The Romans thought so much of old two-faced Janus they named the first month of the year January in his honor.

Manchin whose reveling in his temporary deity status is not interested in honor. No month of the year will ever bear his name. His place in history will be ensconced in the political hypocrite's hall of shame.

Like Icarus in Greek mythology who got too close to the sun, Manchin will eventually pay for his political duality someday.
