NO WORDS! joetheman Jun 2021 #1

Well Im sure Mitch will be happy to hear this. Blues Heron Jun 2021 #2

He should be stripped of all committee assignments ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #3

Oh, do you think Manchin would vote for a resolution that stripped his committee assignments? tritsofme Jun 2021 #40

He doesn't have to vote for it ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #58

Yes, Manchin would have to vote for it. No, Schumer can't just "do it" tritsofme Jun 2021 #61

You're wrong ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #62

You are absolutely wrong. The current organizing resolution gives no such power. tritsofme Jun 2021 #63

Nope ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #64

That's not the right resolution...here you go. tritsofme Jun 2021 #65

That's a subsequent resolution ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #66

Right...and that resolution is subject to cloture. Manchin or any Republican could object to tritsofme Jun 2021 #67

No the Republicans obstructed the primary resolution ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #69

I would absolutely agree with you, before the last few years. tritsofme Jun 2021 #71

True, but if he thinks his "Good Friends" are going to *continue* Buns_of_Fire Jun 2021 #43

I think it's ok. His status as a Dem is questionable. Boydog Jun 2021 #17

I am going for my first hide of the month, 3Hotdogs Jun 2021 #13

Maybe no senators should be seated with out 60 percent of the vote questionseverything Jun 2021 #14

He hates been in the majority and having to work for a living! Mr. Sparkle Jun 2021 #38

Let's face it. Manchin believes in self-preservation over actually doing things for people. Goodheart Jun 2021 #41

I don't see how he preserves his seat by removing access to vote for mostly democrats uponit7771 Jun 2021 #45

Well, he obviously gets and counts on lots of crossover votes. Goodheart Jun 2021 #48
