1. Sure Manchin

By the time it gets through the committees we will have lost the House and Senate and you won't have to do shit, because your buddies will be in charge.

2. He is playing "Rope A Dope" with the Democratic Party.

[BlueJac]

4. No, he is the Dope!!

I wouldn't want to hurt Joe's feeling.

[wellst0nev0ter]

6. looks like Manchin knows he

fucked himself...hard to do but he damn well did it...and when this riverboat owning Maserati driving elitist asshole didn't get a "you speak for me, dude" from his fellow Dems he stamped his foot and did what he always does: threatened to switch parties...oh no, Manchin, not that!!!...and the backstabbing little weasel had the balls to justify his betrayal by placing the blame on Biden's aides...huh? four years of Trump's callous disregard for human life, vengeful acts of spite, bad faith negotiating, and passing the buck...Manchin must have been taking notes...

7. Okay senator, how about you and your staff rewrite the bill to your liking?

Hell, get senator Sinema and her staff in on it too, save some time on that up front
Then we'll know it's something you'd support, right? Right?

12. Manchin's new bill is brief, it just says "FU Suckers."

[Celerity]

14. he can sell these as fund raisers

[Irish_Dem]

15. This is hilarious.

Yep he would make a mint selling these to his magat fans.

[Celerity]

18. the bill IS basically all Manchin already, other than a small group of new add-ons from the House

one of which (immigration) was already tossed out by the Parliamentarian

the rest of the caucus have damn near almost completely caved into his demands already

especially the progs, as they came down the most: between the 2 infrastructure bills, they have, IF the $1.75 trillion BBB was passed, came down almost $8 trillion from their original spring proposals (they abandoned that and signed on the Biden's frameworks around 5, 6 months ago or so)

8. Dems...please don't. His only goal is to waste time and keep Dems from getting an done

He’s turtle in a manchin suit!

[Irish_Dem]

13. I know, surely we are not going to fall for this BS one more time.

Yes he and Turtle are working together.

11. Piss off, joe.

[lindysalsagal]

16. I'm picturing an SNL skit about teasing men for sex they'll never get....

Sorry.

[11 Bravo]

17. This Dem to Manchin:

Eat shit and die.

[Mr.Bill]

19. I'm honestly beginning to think

Joe is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I really don't think he has read or comprehended the bill.

[UCmeNdc]

20. No he just has his own selfish agenda

[Mr.Bill]

21. Which seems to change day to day. n/t
