Am I alone here in being intrigued by Manchin’s censure suggestion? I don’t know if he has any way to get it past McConnell to a vote, but if he could, it puts the Lamar Alexanders and Lisa Murkowskis of the world on the spot, at least a little. Alexander, especially - if he’s on the record as endorsing the findings of the House managers and the case they presented, even if he’s not going to vote to remove, the optics of a no vote on censure look bad.

(If any Rs care about optics or looking bad anymore, which is not a certainty at all.)
