1. Spoken like a "fucking republican"

Manchin and Sinema seem to be drifting further in the other direction daily.

2. Fucking asshole.

3. Fuck him. He is desperate to shield his very wealthy owners from paying taxes.

4. Manchin was shocked, just shocked, that Schumer's balls weren't in a jar like he assumed they were.

5. Judgng by the critics, Schumer must have given an excellent speech.

10. He did, he hammered their hypocrisy and duplicity. Manchin was not amused (he was sitting

in camera view right behind Schumer). Coal Joe put his head in his hands, and eventually got up and wandered off looking like someone had pissed in his Weetabix.

14. The "Coal Joe" name is perfect.

6. What, do I stutter?

Republicans like it when McConnell does this. But get all pissy when Schumer talks the truth in a tough manner?

Poor babies.

7. Shit show stars say don't mess with our shit show

Touching.

8. Oh this is total bullshit .....

and it verifies that McTurle and the rest of the republicans can lie their asses off and Senator from West Virginia is ok with that.

Fuck him, and his so called pro-life stance. Pro-lifers are killers.

9. He basically moved the goal posts

By calling out the Republicans on their brinkmanship and establishing that they were the ones who were not being bipartisan. This skewers the Republican talking points in a big way and clearly warns them that they can't play these games again in December without impunity. So of course they are upset.

11. Manchin needs to switch parties if he loves the GOP so much

He'd be a much better fit. And yes I know we'd lose the majority.

[spanone]

12. So Schumer was supposed to kiss their asses for doing their jobs?

fuck that

cnn hasn't stopped talking about this all morning

[NewHendoLib]

13. do we have to keep treating Mansion (sp!) like a Dem at DU?

He certainly doesn't deserve it.

15. Badge of honor

The less manchin gets his way, the better.
