..it ..quien sabes how he'll vote..he'll have us all on the edge of our seats will he, will he not .. 🤔

It's m not if I don't have evidence to back up my comment .he's like Lucy with football..pulls out at the last fucking minute ..the BBB bill is just one example ..pared it down to bare bones ..then fucking voted against it ..now he pared that frking bill even more to it's mere marrow...wtf--what went from 2T to 45OB wtf!

Anyway, ok ok I'll go with what Dems are saying better than nothing we can always add to it..it's just a framework. If Dem leadership is ok with it ..ok then. PERO, [but] hast it passed yet? Has he actually voted yes? So.. until then, quein sabes bc he did sign Chips bill bc it probably had something that benefitted him personally bc that's how Rs do..wait perdon, he's a Dem--keep forgetting that fact. Yes yes ..I know he's from A red state..blah blah blah.

What irks me the most is not just about Manchin, Senema tambien and Congress res states ..not as heavily populated as blue states that for example Manchin and his opponent in WV ..in aggregate had say 500,000 voters Manchin won with a little over half the votes...compared to Biden's national election of 81 million votes he received to win, yet this one seat from this district of 500,000 more or less district ..has control over democratic policies ..and he's a fucking Democrat! Just unbelievable that one person or two Senema (just tell me she didn't vote against her own interest and voted NO on marriage equality..swear if she did, I'll scream.) Anyway..that just irks me that he can stop progress...progress that would help millions of American regardless of political leaning bc that what the democratic party is about--anyway...

..when he [and Senema] mostly Manchin pared down the BBB to it's bare bare bones...Dems make changes to appese him .what does do..he votes down the fkn bill .now he's taken the down to nada bill pares it down even more to it fucking marrow..now at 450B from what was it 2.5T over ten years ..yes yes I know he's from a red state blah blah blah...and we have to cuddle him while he enriches himself personally.

Anyway, he didn't hesitate to sign Chip bill bc imo probably had something in it for him to pocket ..for sure his corporate donors .and just why didn't the whittle-ddown-BBB didn't go before chips..just like the last time .like Lucy with the football--- he's going. do it again!

Yes, just like the time when both bills came up were to pass simultaneously..right..nope infrastructure went first passed ..Manchin votes yes for that why? My guess bc it benefited him personally and of course his donors ..then BBB at its full force, full funding of 2.5 T could help millions and millions of Americans..did Manchin Senema vote for it nope..so today it's at practically nada ..ok ok .Dem leaders have said at least it's something, a bill we can amend, a framework ok if Pelosi is ok with it, Schumer, Biden ok then..they have my support..pero he hasn't voted yay .so until then quien sabes who know ..Lucy with the ball, I suspect, expect. Sorry I've become pessimistic..after his, Rs chicanery that really hurts all Americans.. anyway .. [note: need to break will be back to edit.]
